Coaching Therapists in Avon, CO

I believe that YOU (& your family) deserve to HEAL & THRIVE. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate space to process the past, live fully in the present, and create a fulfilling future. As a psychotherapist and former school counselor, I have over a decade of experience teaming with parents, families, and professionals at all developmental stages. My individualized, evidence-based interventions help you/your family meet challenges such as work/life/school balance and stressors, chronic injury, stress or illness, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues with more insight, flexibility, and resilience.

“To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive – to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before”—Rollo May. Therapy can help you be open to everything life has to offer. I have a wealth of experience to support you through life's daily ups and downs, as well as big events, trauma, transition, and mental illness, and to help improve your relationships with your self, family, loved ones and professional contacts.

Cultivating joy and healthy habits requires creating a consistent space to practice and learn new ways of being. Did you know your mind is more wired to produce anxiety and depression than joy? There is nothing wrong with you! You just didn't learn the skills that generate more joy, calm and acceptance; this is what leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness. Burnout, abandoning your dreams, anxiety, overwhelm, feeling lost, an extra glass of wine-all can lead to a vicious cycle of not feeling good. I can help you break that cycle. Integrating the body, breath practices, and neuroscience into therapy helps bring lasting changes.

I specialize in working with women, particularly from the ages of 20 - 40. Decisions made in your 20’s and early 30’s can often set the tone for the remainder of your adulthood. People often enter their 20’s feeling confident, and optimistic. However, as life’s challenges begin, the vision and path becomes less clear. Confusion around partners, friendships, family, career, and lifestyle start to take hold. Sometimes past traumas emerge. Unaddressed feelings can develop into depression, and anxiety. Increasing your self-awareness, learning healthy ways to manage feelings, along with behavioral changes can increase your happiness.

I have over 35 years of experience helping people successfully navigate life's most difficult challenges and realize their dreams. My personal style is warm, supportive, flexible and optimistic. In our work together, we will focus on your individual perspective, unique strengths and personal values as we collaborate in accomplishing your goals. My office provides a secure comfortable place for you to explore issues, solve problems, examine assumptions, change dysfunctional patterns, and learn new coping strategies. I've helped countless teens and adults make lasting changes and lead better happier lives.

I bring over 30 years of clinical experience to the work with individuals and couples. I provide a welcoming environment and work collaboratively with you to create a plan to meet your goals. I work most effectively with those who are curious about a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, those who want to take responsibility for their life, and those who want both experiential and practical skill-based approaches to healing and growth.
