Teletherapy for Woodland Park, CO

BECOME THE PERSON, PARTNER, AND PARENT YOU WANT TO BE. There can be so much pressure to get everything right — parenting, marriage, work, health — and you may be left feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or guilty. These things impact how you see yourself and the people around you. They impact how you show up in your life. It doesn’t have to be this way. It may be time to cut through the noise and misinformation. With the right skills and support you can absolutely learn, heal, and become the person, partner, and parent you want to be.

Therapy shouldn't be an added stressor. I use humor and support along with cognitive and reality therapy. I focus primarily on depression, bipolar disorder and major mental illness.

My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to offer professional care on a personal level to clients in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park. My focus is on working with individuals, families and couples from all walks of life that are open to learning and growing. If you are struggling with shame or frustrated that things seem to be beyond your control, then I would like to help you discover what can help you find freedom. Whether the barrier is depression, anxiety, addiction, sexual issues in your relationship, or establishing healthy boundaries, there is hope and freedom.

What if you woke up tomorrow and found yourself happier, healthier, and more connected to the world around you? Life can certainly leave us feeling disconnected and struggling to find happiness on our own. It does not have to be that way. Maybe you feel like you know where you want to go but are not certain how to start. I understand. Maybe anxiety has taken over at the worst possible moments, or overwhelming sadness has left you unable to get on with your day. I see you. Pain touches us all in a deeply personal way. And it provides connection by way of compassion, understanding, and validation.

Have you suffered through years of abuse or trauma? Lost a loved one through divorce or death? Maybe, you feel you can't face life anymore. Maybe you struggle with the use of alcohol or drugs. Do you use them to "feel good about yourself?" Maybe, just "to forget for a moment". Maybe because they make you feel "normal". This is the time to seek help. It takes courage to call and yet we are here to walk with you during your trying times and help you find the inner peace, joy, and success you deserve!

I work with a person centered, trauma focused approach to assist with building a working relationship with clients to allow them to understand their own needs and goals. From there we work to develop coping skills that can assist you with addressing your own anxiety or depression. I understand the each individual is different and therefore there is not a one size fits all approach. I work to meet you were you are and work with you to move past trauma to a more productive, happy future.

How satisfied are you with your quality of life? Do you have higher aspirations for yourself? Maybe it’s been difficult for you to get traction in a particular area. Or you’ve tried to put your past behind you, but it keeps popping up and interfering in the present. Perhaps you’re tired of processing the same old stories, and learning coping skills to just get by. You may even have a mind that just won’t quit spinning negative tales, no matter how hard you’ve tried to silence it.

I want to invite you to awaken to the life you were created for...filled with hope, healing and freedom to live the Bigger Story. When we go through difficult times, it is so easy for our hearts to simply go to "sleep" to protect ourselves from further pain and disappointment. Sometimes it can be challenging to know how to break out of the ways our hearts have opted for the status quo. With 31 years of counseling experience and a passion to see hearts awakened, I offer to come alongside those who are sincerely hungry for true transformation.

I am committed to making a good assessment of your needs and goals and then customizing a treatment plan to best help you reach them.

I am a strengths-based therapist who believes every person has incredible resilience and the capacity to live in abundance. When we go through trauma as a child, we often disconnect from our true self and develop relational and behavioral patterns that take away our joy. If you are ready to do this brave work of remembering who you were created to be, I would be honored to walk with you on this part of your journey. Together, we will devise an individualized treatment plan to positively impact your mind, body, and spirit. I offer telehealth in Oklahoma and Colorado, specializing in trauma repair/recovery, depression, and anxiety.

We are all human, imperfect, and want/need grace. Mental health is a part of our overall health, not separate from it. We cannot disconnect the head from the body. All session are conducted with empathy and compassion, with or without equines. We are currently accepting new clients, as our caseload allows. We accept Medicaid, TriWest, TRICARE, and Aetna insurances, in addition to private pay with a deeply sliding scale. We can also do a single case agreement or supply a superbill for out of network insurance.

I take an eclectic and individualized approach for each client that utilizes concepts from CBT, family systems, and solution focused therapy. I also incorporate concepts from art therapy, play therapy, and somatic experiencing in efforts to improve self-awareness, promote connection, and increase mindfulness. As a parent and professional who has worked in our community with families and educators for over a decade, I understand that each individual, family, and child is faced with unique complexities and stressors that must be addressed on multiple levels with sensitivity and understanding.

I cherish uniqueness, I value compassion and process, and I honor your journey with patience and kindness.
