Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

I view life as filled with opportunity for growth. Internal Family Systems therapy is a powerful way to grow your capacity to enjoy life and outgrow parts of yourself that protected you once but are no longer helpful. Parts caused by trauma, childhood events, life stressors or relationships. Are you an adult child of emotionally immature parents - with unmet needs you want to learn to meet? I teach skills to help you feel better quickly, and I also help you heal longer term patterns. We can clear painful memories from body, mind & spirit to create a healthy, integrated sense of self.

Relationships are complex but thankfully, a source of so much information. They can promote a sense of safety and joy but can also devolve into toxicity and self-abandonment; the way we perceive others and navigate the world today has its roots in our early relationships and experiences. There is value in exploring our family of origin as a vehicle for understanding ourselves and the obstacles we face while in relationship. A universal goal for my clients is increased insight into themselves that fosters healing, personal growth, fulfilling relationships and intentional living.

Welcome! I am a LPCC that specializes in work with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing a wide array of concerns related to relationships, emotional regulation or life transitions. For many, seeking out counseling can be a scary and intimidating first step towards change. As a counselor, my first goal is to create a trusting, therapeutic relationship in the counseling room, and to use this relationship as an agent for change. In session, I'll help uncover patterns in your life that no longer serve you and help you find new ways of being in the world.

We all have spirit. The spirit to move toward meaning in this limited time we have. We often need support in this chaotic world, to speak our truth- And a space to set expectations aside but for an hour at a time. To decide what we want to be and how we want to show up in this moment. And what we want to leave behind as a legacy to family, community, and the world. It would be a privilege to provide a space for you to explore this.

Life is a journey, often filled with moments of feeling stuck and uncertain about ourselves and our path.

My aim is to create a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we will personalize an approach that encompasses all aspects of human experience: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.

Life can be overwhelming, and Western culture does not readily offer the tools to help us navigate the impact. We end up carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression in our bodies, and if the the cycle continues, we can end up burnt out. In the confusion, we may turn toward substances, behaviors, and other strategies to cope, which ultimately leave us more burdened than before. As hopeless as things can seem, there are always opportunities to change your inner and outer patterns. Over time, these small changes can redirect your life toward alignment, fulfillment, and ease grounded in the present moment.

My motto in life is, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference." (St. Frances of Assisi).

When life feels overwhelming, unmanageable, or just not enjoyable, getting out of bed in the morning can be hard. Going to work, interacting with family or friends, and looking forward to tomorrow can feel like torture. When in this dark place, focusing and making decisions can seem impossible and life is just a daily grind with no enjoyment in site. Life changes catch you off guard and to adjust to the new situation you just need support. Whatever the situation, this may be your present, but it does not have to be your future. Relief from this prison is possible and feeling alive again can happen. Help is a phone call away.
