Teletherapy for Colorado

You deserve to feel seen and heard and validated for your experience. You are stronger than you believe and have everything you need within you already. Sometimes we all just need some help unlocking our strengths within. Through a safe and secure therapeutic relationship, I believe it is possible to heal from trauma and no longer just survive, but actually thrive. My passion for empowering others to heal from their trauma is inspired by my own lifelong healing journey and soul's purpose of healing my trauma so that I can assist others by empowering them to heal theirs.

“Pain from my past keeps me from truly enjoying my life”, “There are so many things about myself I wish were different”, “My anxiety is painful and I feel exhausted ”, “I feel unfulfilled in my relationships”. Does any of this resonate with you? Life throws many obstacles our way, and it can feel extremely defeating at times. Do you desire to know yourself on a deeper level and connect to the aspects of yourself that make you unique and special? I believe one of the bravest things you can do is take time to acknowledge your pain and embrace your individual story. You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood.

Sometimes, we find ourselves buried under challenging life circumstances. When this happens, we are left with three options: remain stuck and undecided, fight through, wounded and bitter, or emerge stronger, wiser and more resilient. I love coming alongside clients who feel they are without hope, and helping them find their inner strengths to emerge resilient. I have experience working with trauma, grief, PTSD, pain management, postpartum depression, chronic medical conditions, OCD, substance use, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar, and marriage and family issues.

I am passionate about understanding human dynamics and have found my calling through a career in therapy, guiding others to learn the emotional skills to improve their lives and create deeply connected interpersonal relationships.

I believe in the power of your strengths, values, dormant skills, and passions - simply the "particular way" that only you can show up in the world. It is different from everyone else, and that's a great thing. But when you experience events that overwhelm your system (trauma), those particular ways move into the background, and you lose your sense of ground. The unwinding of traumatic experiences is how we are "Tending The Ground" of you, and re-claiming the parts of you that got lost along the way. This is essential work along the path toward having a fulfilling life and allowing your particular ways to flourish.

Life can be difficult at times. Every so often people need a safe environment to express their worries and frustrations. I enjoy working with adults and young adults to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I see a client's full potential and hold onto that vision for them until they can begin to see it for themselves. I will challenge you in various ways to help increase your self-esteem and view yourself in a more positive light.

We are always, already in relationship. Whether it is a relationship to another person, place, or oneself, we are in some way connected to and affected by our surroundings. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partner or friends), and the greater context of society, and nature to illuminate your unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Do you feel like you are going through the motions of life but like something is missing? Are you not able to live as your true authentic self. Are things like: past traumas, environments, relationships keeping you stuck in repeating toxic patterns and cycles? You can live free of this. I believe each person is born with individual strengths and resiliency . Living freely with your authentic self can shift cycles that keep us stuck. Are you ready to let go and fully bloom? Please contact me to get started today on your path to bloom.

Accepting new clients! I am committed to helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and ADHD, while guiding them through the process of coping with stressors that present during difficult life transitions. The rapid and numerous changes of life can often feel overwhelming. Whether it's interpersonal relationship difficulties, emotion regulation problems, or career challenges, I can help you build the necessary skills to make it through turbulent times.

Only accepting music therapy clients currently! I am a Neurodivergent therapist. I have ADHD, combined type & PTSD so I understand the gravity of finding the right clinician for your specific needs. You deserve to receive unconditional positive regard. You deserve to be heard. You deserve therapy that meets your specific goals. I heavily subscribe to the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy framework, but pull from several different approaches to meet my clients where they are & support them in the ways they deem important. It is not my place to tell you what you need - I believe you already know & I am simply a guide along your journey.

Collaboratively, we focus on healing, resilience, and reconnection. Feeling ashamed is scary and overwhelming. These feelings are more common than we admit and stem from a variety of factors. It makes sense to respond to unpleasant emotions by burying, avoiding, or resisting. If unprocessed, these beliefs impact our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and lives--leaving us repeating painful patterns and shaping our perceptions and relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

Deciding to go into therapy is not an easy decision and equally important is finding the right therapist. For this reason, I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation so that we meet and so that you can assess if I am the therapist for you. With over 24 years experience in private practice, I would be happy to assist you in this process. I am an attentive, empathetic and caring counselor. I also counsel via Psychology Today VIDEO sessions, as well as phone for those who cannot come into my office. Please call for a meet and greet.

I practice as a contemplative psychotherapist. I believe in the basic goodness of all people and join together with clients to reconnect that basic goodness back into their conscious life. I assist individuals, couples, families, and groups in finding their next steps. I know that transformation is possible and healing can take place even under the most dire situations, feelings, and ways we are conditioned to think and act. I am slow paced and create an atmosphere of warmth, trust, and safety. I am available mornings, late afternoon and early evenings Monday through Thursday.

I am on maternity leave from January 1st - April 30th, 2024 and will not be accepting new clients until May 2024.

As a psychotherapist with 28 years of experience, I approach therapy from an empathic relational orientation. It is very important my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced based psychotherapy treatment to help improve communication with others, reduce fears and phobias, interrupt thoughts that lead to addictive and other self destructive behaviors, improve self esteem and change negative thought patterns.

I named my business Life Journey Counseling because I believe that we are all on a journey. We typically have ideas about where we are headed and how we will get there, but life often deals us something different...something we didn't plan for. How we handle that is the key to our own personal growth. I am inspired by the power of people to help themselves, but also a firm believer in the importance of having support and help when we need it. I help people through the therapeutic relationship we form to realize their full potential.

As humans we experience suffering (painful emotional states). This is normal...but what happens when you feel stuck here; reliving old patterns from unhealed wounds? It's likely that your nervous system is overwhelmed and under-resourced in an increasingly stressful time. As you attempt to cope the best way you know how, you may turn towards substances, work excessively, fill your time with mindless distractions, obsessively worry, or find yourself isolating. You know theres a better way to live, and its okay to seek support. You were not born to suffer.

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.
