Family Therapy in Milliken, CO

My belief is that while humans are innately relational beings, relationships are really hard! I help adults and couples create (and stick to!) their boundaries with friends, family, co-workers, and partner(s), grow communication skills, develop emotional understanding & expression, heal from current or past relational trauma, and navigate relational transitions such as separation, welcoming a child, and getting through Thanksgiving dinner!

Are you looking for help in working through challenging issues, but unsure where to start and how to find the right therapist? I believe very strongly in finding the right fit and if that turns out to not be me, I will assist you in finding that fit with someone else. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with varying levels and types of mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, self esteem, sexuality, behavioral, ADHD) thorough individual, couples and family therapy. Thank you for visiting my page.

My goal is to provide clients caring, concrete, and practical answers using proven-effective treatment options. I feel strongly that clients should be a collaborator in their treatment and see improvements quickly. Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy provides quick solutions and reduces parental stress. Couples often seek therapy when communication is breaking down. Both PCIT and Gottman Method Therapy inform my work with couples and families.

Life is a journey, often filled with moments of feeling stuck and uncertain about ourselves and our path. Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, reflect inwardly, and connect in order to gain clarity and work towards meaningful change. As your therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, respect, and humor to our work together. 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.

Connecting with a therapist is no easy task these days. Finding a person who will listen without judgement, honor your current struggles, and sit with you as you sort through your next steps is an important part of connection. Whether you appreciate some humor, prefer to snuggle my therapy dog, or participate in hands on art, music, sand, or play therapy interventions, I have many ways to create connection with my clients. I also use creative interventions for clinical individual or group supervisions for graduate level students or LPCCs!

Navigating challenges within life and relationships can be difficult when you are feeling disconnected and having trouble communicating. Sometimes it may even feel like you don’t know how you got to that point and what the next step might be. I can help you to take that next step! I work with individuals and couples to understand themselves better and to develop tools and insight that can be applied during everyday life. Through this work, I can help you to experience greater healing and compassion and to build more meaningful connections.

The quality of our relationships, with ourselves and with others, has a profound impact on our quality of life including our mental, emotional, social, environmental, and physical health. I have been clinically serving the relationships of children, adolescents, families, adults, and partners since 2018 within Colorado.

I have more specialized experience with anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family of origin concerns, college mental health, and trauma/PTSD.

Do you find yourself trying to make everyone around you happy but yourself? Do you try to intellectualize your way out of your feelings? Do you feel on edge or anxious most of the time? Our minds and bodies do a wonderful job of helping us survive traumatic experiences, but these survival techniques can also begin to impact our connection with ourselves, our relationships, our purpose, and much more. Through exploring past experiences, strengthening the mind-body connection, and continuing to be curious and compassionate towards self, we can begin to shift ourselves out of survival mode into a life we choose.

Are you the type of person who longs for connection and safety in your relationships, but ends up pushing those who care for you away? Often these behaviors are responses to childhood trauma.
