Therapists in Colorado

It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

Loss, pain and confusion can keep you from developing more satisfying relationships with loved ones. Or, perhaps you would like to feel more at ease in your own skin? Let's discover what keeps you from taking the steps toward health and fulfillment. I can help you find ways to address the effects of trauma, reduce stress, anxiety, depression, grief and explore spirituality by reconnecting with your innate strength and wellbeing.

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.

Buddha once wrote, “What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now.” So what will you do now? Change can be intimidating, yet it is one thing that we can have power over. When we have our moments of struggle, we find ourselves drowning in our emotions that can overwhelm us. The simple stressors of life can become too much. Then there are other times when fear, unexpected loss, relationship difficulties, and traumatic events trap us. You are already strong. I’m just here to help you realize it. Together, let’s work to break free from emotional pain and find that path that leads you to a productive future.

My approach is holistic and recognizes the importance of mind-body connection in healing and growth.

Life is complex. It can be difficult to gain clarity as to what we want... what we need... where we want to go. The human experience is unique, which is why I approach counseling with openness, authenticity, acceptance, and radical presence to join those seeking to expand awareness and make meaningful change in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

What is challenging for you at this time? Are you struggling to adjust to current circumstances, unsure how to think about and plan for the future? Are relationships, work, finances, home, schooling, health, or ways of enjoying life adversely impacted? Could you use support in relating to whatever difficult emotions are arising?

I'm a seasoned therapist, having worked in the mental health the field for over 20 years. I provide quality therapeutic care to those in need. I believe that we all have an intrinsic desire to strive towards health, healing and harmony in our lives. I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety and attachment issues with individuals and couples to help them optimize their life experience.

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.

People are often drawn to therapy when they are struggling and in pain, when they are in a time of transition, or when they feel themselves to be on the edge of growth. Often these areas overlap. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for decades and I continue to deeply appreciate the journey of healing and discovery that therapy can be. Where are you on your journey? What type of support and connection are you seeking? I make an effort to return calls within 24 hours. Please reach out if you need more information or would like to hear a human voice.

SPIRITUALITY + THE NERVOUS SYSTEM | I take a mind-body-spirit approach to therapy. I believe we all have the innate capacity for healing, and by following the body's cues, it will show us how to do just that. I like to work with the nervous system: through big-T Traumas a little-t traumas, many of us are not as regulated as we could be. Reasons to work with me may include depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, spiritual emergency, insomnia, trauma, autoimmune issues, self-esteem, clarity of purpose, and deepening connection to yourself.

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step.
