Codependency Therapists in Chaffee County, CO

I help people ditch the codependence label and dig into their relationships and embrace saying No to Others and Yes to Yourself. Together we will learn about the people you invite into your life, the ones who seem to keep showing up uninvited, and where you need a little help to make sure you have a choice in who comes and goes. My clients struggle like you do. Despite knowing how to take care of almost anything in life, you need a little help pausing and turning toward yourself to find out what you want to know.

In my work, I prioritize attention to somatic, embodiment practices that help clients feel safe in their own bodies and with their own emotions.

Every human beings has a true genuine authentic self. Trauma is the disconnection from it and healing is the reconnection to it. - Dr. Gabor Mate Life is full of beauty and hardship. We all have experiences that shape who we are, how we feel, and what we believe about ourselves. Sometimes we need a compassionate space to explore and heal our wounds. From young professionals to helping professionals to new moms, I invite deep exploration and support clients to develop understanding of how the adversities they've faced impact their minds, bodies, and spirits.

In this age of narcissism and self-discovery, many are feeling isolated and alienated from others, causing us to reassess our relationships and personal choices. Many are disillusioned, anxious and depressed due to unwanted life experiences that threaten our sense of security and block our path to happiness. During this time of cultural and personal insecurity, some seek a space for guided reflection, discovery and contemplation of possibilities previously unconsidered. I provide services that promote healthy outcomes and empower clients to make authentic, self-directed changes that align with personal needs, values and aspirations.

My work specializes in trauma informed care and spiritually focused counseling. I am trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.

I am highly valued as a compassionate, competent therapist who will provide understanding and skills that support moving through and coping with traumatic events/responses recent and past, and the spiritual evolution born out of traumatic wounds.

I believe that people have an innate ability to heal and that successful therapy depends on tailoring sessions to be in alignment with your unique circumstances.
