Therapists in Walsenburg, CO

I greatly enjoy working with clients who are open to creating or processing change in their lives. That may look like addressing anxiety or depression, grieving a loved one or a way of life, postpartum depression, understanding how trauma has impacted one's life, relationship difficulties, welcoming a baby, struggling with food and body image, redefining self-worth, mentally managing chronic pain or illness, family struggles, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality issues, enhancing communication skills - ultimately, finding healing and meaning in your life.

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.

Hey there! I am so glad you found me. I care so deeply about humanity, relationships, love, and individuals (like you) having the freedom to be themselves. I support people in discovering their innate capacity for emotionally rich connection to themselves and others, and the courage to live into their autonomy, creativity, passion, and love. I work with survivors of fundamental, religious & spiritual cults, sexual assault & childhood developmental trauma.

Specializing in counseling for adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, stress, and trauma.

At Bright Space Counseling we offer compassionate care and one of our main goals is to provide a safe place to explore the issues you are facing. We offer services to children, adolescents and adults. Our schedule is flexible; we offer day, evening and Saturday appointments. We would love to talk to you about your current struggles and how we can help you.

I believe that change, although painful and challenging at times, is the only consistent thing about life, and that's when we grow. Don't avoid being uncomfortable! Lean in! Our ability to acclimate to change is vital. My personal belief is that EVERYONE has the innate capacity for change and growth, even though life's toughest curve balls! I hold a firm belief that the client is the expert, as they have lived and led their own lives.

It is my passion to partner with people as they share their story. My hope is to offer compassionate and perceptive support to my clients. Seeking support takes courage and having support through challenges or traumatic experiences provides perspective, encouragement and hope that can have a remarkable impact on how you overcome those experiences. Life is a journey and it is my goal to equip and inspire with an infusion of hope to heal the pain and wounds of life.

I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, body shaming, somatic issues, relationships, identity issues, boundaries, etc. I’m currently taking older teens, adults & seniors. I want to help you heal your whole self- mind, body, & spirit!

I specifically treat providers because healers need healing too. As holders of reality and pain for others, healthcare providers often find themselves deprived of the care that they graciously give others. As a result, we often are left to bear the weight of our pain alone. The reality is that we are not designed to contain it all. We need the holding container that we give others despite the level of education and training we have. Seeking therapy for ourselves is paramount to our ability to provide competent practice without burnout. It is also the best form of self care.

Most therapy issues stem from issues with control (ie. phobias, controlling others, being "a control freak," feeling controlled by others, uncontrolled thinking, uncontrolled behaviors, etc.). Being out-of-control is extremely uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unavoidable. In therapy we discuss different ways to relate to the concept of control by increasing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to the inevitable uncertainties of life. With Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist you in identifying your "stuck" points and making the necessary pivots towards living a life you love.

Working with women is my forte! Women have a core value of relationships and this is how we filter our decisions. Moving, parenting, and other choices are made from this core value. We are the center of the family flower. When we grow and accept ourselves we go Beyond our natural Beauty!

I believe in five distinct ideas: 1) every person is unique with their own perspectives and ideas, 2) we all struggle at some point, 3) as human beings, we all have within our power the ability to help others, 4) therapy is a powerful and useful tool, and 5) happiness is limitless. Whether I meet you in person or in an online session, the space becomes yours. It's about your wants, your needs, your struggle, your hopes, your dreams, your plan, and your vision of the future. My purpose in life is to help others achieve goals. My passion is doing so through therapy.

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.

If you are suffering in the present due to past hurts and traumas, or are currently feeling stuck due to depression, life transitions, and/or worry that prevents you from doing the things you want to do, there is hope. You can work through past hurts and current stressors to create the present and future you desire. In order to move forward and reach your goals, it’s helpful to have a non-judgmental, experienced, and supportive therapist beside you. I hope to be that person for you. We can work together to create a treatment approach that is specific to your needs.
