Therapists in Woodland Park, CO

As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them?

Are you feeling defeated by self-doubt? Anxious and over-burdened by the worries of tomorrow? Depressed because you just can't seem to make any long-lasting changes in your life? These symptoms may just be the "tip of the iceberg" and may be indicative of long-held belief systems that are manifesting after years of cultivation. Don't be discouraged. You're not alone. The human experience is riddled with challenges that can leave us feeling hopeless. We are not meant to do life alone and chances are you already know that because that's why you're here. Let's get started!

The human experience can be overwhelming and can leave us feeling alone, invisible, and “stuck.” Therapy can be a fantastic tool in helping those who are ready to make changes move forward towards their authentic selves- the people they want, and enjoy to be. Therapy is not a one-size fits all activity, and I believe that the role of a clinician is to match client needs with eclectic interventions. In my practice, I utilize many different evidenced-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, EMDR, EFT, COSP, Theraplay, mindfulness training, mediation, and more.

If you are struggling in your relationship, I am here to help you find connection, safety, and security.

I have a special passion for working with people and relationships impacted by cancer. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based method for working with couples to release negative patterns and increase closeness and connection. I believe that when people feel safe and secure in their relationships, even the most difficult and painful problems can be overcome.

I promote improvement in my client's quality of life related to moods, relationships & sense of purpose. I approach clients where they are in their lives, relationships & moods in a manner that is accepting and encouraging. I believe people are their own best resource for understanding their present state, how they have arrived there, & having resilience to heal & move toward their goals. When clients are very stuck in negative moods, behaviors & relational patterns, I help them engage these through mindfulness, emotionally-focused & trauma healing therapies, which are based on understanding natural processes of healing & growth.

I aim to provide a space where you feel safe and comfortable. People have skills and the desire to feel better, be better. Here we can explore your strengths and systems, developing them while finding new ways to pursue emotional health. In the room, I bring warmth and relational connection. I am endlessly curious and love to follow you while still maintaining our path. I utilize humor, metaphors, creativity, fun, drawings, and activities when appropriate. I help organize thoughts, draw connections, and guide us to realizations. I want to understand your story and help you write it even more beautifully going forward.

Relationships evoke our deepest longings and fears, and touch on wounds that may have been long hidden, wounds which we’ve often lived a lifetime without recognizing. The pain of disconnection we feel in relationships, the heated arguments and periods of distance or alienation, can leave us lost and confused, stuck in emotional knots, with our desire for closeness vying against our protective reactions. Cycles of conflict may escalate, and with them, the pain. All the while, deep down, we quietly long to share ourselves more honestly and fully with those whom we are closest to.

I Support Couples Stuck in Cycles of Conflict and Disconnection? My approach focuses on 3 Core Areas: 1) Healthy & Honest Communication Skills 3) Couples Conflict Resolution and 3) Cultivating a Deep Fulfilling Friendship. My Counseling is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, to Build Trust and Connection. Let's Work together to Rebuild the Relationship You’ve Always Wanted.

It takes a great deal of courage and humility to seek out a therapist. If your own life, your romantic relationship, or both are leaving you unsatisfied, stuck, or unhappy, I commend you for considering outside help. The support of people whom I trust and who care for me – including my own therapist – has been instrumental to my own healing and growth. I would be honored to provide you with that same partnership in your journey of change. When we combine my training in therapy with your knowledge of who you are and where you want to go, we can identify meaningful goals together and help you progress toward them.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal; with time, patience, and the right tools, individuals can tap into their innate capacity for growth and transformation. They can emerge from their struggles with newfound strength, insights, and hope. We all possess the strength and resilience needed to overcome our challenges and find healing. I will be here to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you may feel safe to freely express your thoughts and emotions.
