Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Lafayette, CO

I believe we make decisions based on the information available to us at the time. Our “information” comes from our interpretation of life experiences forming a narrative of who we are. When that narrative is no longer useful, no longer provides comfort, or no longer helps us cope, we may begin to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or addiction. My goal is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore how the past may be limiting enjoyment and fulfillment in life, identify coping strategies that are working and offer additional suggestions, and set goals that match the client’s desires.

We are living in a world of unknowns creating more stress and anxiety than ever before. I am here to work with anyone that desires to face their problems together. We will sort out life's circumstances, set personal therapeutic goals, and move in the direction of health. We were never meant to face life's trials and tribulations alone because we are better when we work together. Now offering telehealth and in-person sessions, making connection more convenient than ever.

I specialize in working with children, pre-teens, teens and college students who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, self-harm, anger and aggression, low self-esteem and trauma experiences.

Life can be stressful and sometimes we need extra tools and guidance along the way. In working together, we will focus on your past traumas, life stressors, or the way that you react to certain situations. We can explore your past family systems, current relationships, societal influences, and life changing experiences along the way to offer insight, perspective, and tools to meet your individual needs and goals. I have a vast array of experience both personally and professionally. I believe that everyone deserves someone to support them through challenging times and feel honored to be that person for clients.

Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

I use many techniques: talk therapy, somatic, EMDR, KAP, Parts work, mindfulness, cognitive, relational and attachment work. I am a contemplative psychotherapist who works from an integral framework, utilizing a non-pathologic view.
