Family Therapy in Louisville, CO

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self. I see my role as a compassionate guide who, through effective inquiry, honesty, and our reflection upon the power of choice, can assist your transformation big or small. Whether you desire to improve your parenting skills, assist your struggling teen or clear your path to living more authentically, I would enjoy joining you along your journey toward your greatest health.

I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention. If you or your family members are experiencing difficulty with your relationships because of communication and problem-solving problems, please consider evidence-based individual or episodic family therapy. Research shows lasting results when parents and youth learn ways to enhance one another's relational skill-building together. I specialize in helping clients find ways to work through risks such as substance abuse, aggression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, loss and grief, and school issues.

Social abilities are critically important to life success!

As a systemically trained therapist, I work with adolescents, individuals, couples, and families.

I am keen to learn about your experience informed by your personal and sociocultural context to move toward your desired place of growth and new insight.

When is enough enough? Life is a constant process of managing work, family, friendships, partnerships, parenting, a household; the list never ends. Every year you might think it's going to be better, less stress, more fun; and then it's back to the same draining routines. If you feel tired of wishing things in your life were different and finding yourself stuck in patterns and relationships that don't feel good, something has to change. Starting now might feel like too much, but, we know there's never the "perfect" time and waiting will set you back another year. Everyone deserves to feel whole.

I strongly believe that we do not have to be held back by our pasts or struggles, but can grow and learn from them. I am here to work alongside you and your family to find ways to heal and thrive.

Challenges are a part of life. How we meet those challenges - whether they are our partner relationships, parenting, work, or transitional - determines our contentment with ourselves and our interaction with people in our life. If you are interested in learning more effective skills to assist you in meeting life's challenges, i am excited to facilitate your journey. The journey may be difficult but is always worth the effort. We will utilize your skills, look at your goals, and together develop a plan for success.

You (or a loved one) may be facing a variety of life’s challenges, including relationship difficulties, stress in transitions, family conflict and/or stress at school or in the workplace.

Are you and your child struggling with challenging behaviors, such as emotional outbursts, anxiety, aggressive behavior, perfectionism, and withdrawal? Perhaps you and your children are going through a big life transition? Have you read parenting books, tried numerous strategies, and feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated by what to do next? Do you notice this is affecting your relationships and day-to-day life? Now more that ever, children are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their big feelings, social skills, and transitions. I am here to help! I am taking new clients with a limited openings.

I am passionate about my role as a helper and the partnership that is created when I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on their journeys toward wellness. Typical goals that I help my clients achieve are: Moving forward after traumatic events. Creating a mindful, purposeful way of facing life's challenges such divorce, infertility, and grief /loss. Developing skills to cope with symptoms of depression or anxiety. Staying present during the transition to becoming a new parent, tackling a new career, or moving toward retirement.

I treats a wide range of issues from anxiety, life issues, family changes or challenges and those on the Autism spectrum. My previous work includes working with families at risk of abuse and neglect, community mental health, and as a school social worker.

I work with teens 11 and older, as well as individuals, couples, and families, including co-parenting counseling. If your issues are relationship oriented (parent/child, between partners, co-parents, or family related issues), related to phase of life transitions or changes, such as marital crisis, separation, divorce, marriage, remarriage, blending a family, empty nest, co parenting challenges, retirement, and you're looking for a goal-oriented approach to figuring out a pathway through, I can help. We will pinpoint the issues, set goals, get a plan in place, and work together toward positive change.

In the past thirty years of practice, I've come to deeply understand that all therapy is, in a sense, grief therapy. I began working as a volunteer with Hospice, and although I am trained and practiced in trauma and developmental techniques, I specialize my work with grief and loss. I help my clients walk through the profoundly life-changing territory of losses that can seem impossible to accept and heal from. Because we live in a culture that makes little room for it, I create a place and time for people to unpack their losses and, with time, grow into acceptance. Please let me know if I can help.
