Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in 82070

Welcome! It can be daunting to search for a therapist. I want to acknowledge your courage and welcome all the parts of you - including the ones who are unsure, resistant, or concerned about beginning counseling. I am trained in Internal Family Systems therapy (Level 1), a healing model that effectively addresses life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma and other symptoms or difficulties. I do my best to embody presence, openness, and compassion to help client’s entire systems feel comfortable and safe, both to be seen and vulnerable.

It is normal to experience stress and a need for extra support during various phases of our lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Laramie and have been working in the helping professional field for over 20 years as a certified teacher of yoga, life-coaching, and holistic practices. My approach to counseling is to work alongside clients to address a variety of mental-emotional issues through a body-based, nervous system, and trauma-informed lens. I work with clients, forming a collaborative plan to best address their needs.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents either in person or online. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, grief, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions.

I have a few areas of particular interest including working with people who are LGBTQIA+ and their loved ones, anxiety, parenting struggles, and ADHD across the lifespan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing individual, couples, and family therapy in Wyoming for over 11 years. I have worked in a variety of different settings and have had the honor of working alongside people ages 3-90 on their journey to healing.

My goal is to help open to transformation through awareness. It is normal that there are times in life when things get in the way of feeling or doing your best, or even feeling like yourself. Old problems are like toxic waste buried in the backyard. You can lay sod over it, but it’s still there and leaks out at unpredictable times. Sometimes people know where they are stuck, and sometimes not- we'll just start where you are. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, old trauma, stuck patterns in relationships, feeling dissatisfaction with work and life are all worthy of our attention and work.

Serving Wyoming and Colorado, my practice aims to provide healing for the mind, body, and spirit. With the use of evidence based practices and over a decade of experience, we can pursue the positive life changes you are looking for. My approach to counseling includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. Together we will create a treatment plan that is client centered, efficient and solution focused. Previous populations served include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, residentially placed, adjudicated, and cognitively impaired.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming and Colorado. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative brave space to move through held experiences and obstacles from the past that hinder the present. I specialize in working with clients to relieve symptoms from complex and simple trauma, anxiety, depression, issues related to relationships, transitions, grief and loss.

Therapy should be a comfortable and safe place for you to explore and learn about yourself while practicing to take control of your world. Everyone has different experiences and your therapy should be guided by how you see the world and what you want in your life. I work with individuals, couples, parents, and families around issues related to depression, anxiety, child & adolescent behavior problems, relationships, and parenting. My mission is to help clients alleviate emotional pain, improve relationships, and to reach their highest potential based on their own values, beliefs, and dreams.

My passion for helping others began at a young age as I experienced working with many wonderful counselors. Since that time I have found a variety of ways to continue in the helping field, I know each stage of life comes with unique challenges, changes and growth. I have worked with individuals from age 10 through 90+ in many settings. I have experience with depression, anxiety, anger, major life changes, relationship issues, end of life care, transition care, those involved in the criminal justice system, compassion fatigue, and with first-responders.

You are enough. Counseling is a journey of self-discovery and healing. It may be difficult at times, and that’s why I’m here to support you in finding your authentic self. Having worked in primary prevention and in an elementary school setting, my passion lies with working with children, adolescents, and young adults, or as I like to say, “From tots through twenties.” It would be a privilege to hold space for you as your counselor.

The power to change your life lies in your mindset – how you process experiences and the feelings attached to them. Change can seem overwhelming. We can be stuck in the same patterns void of any progress. If you are ready to take control of your life and process uncomfortable experiences head-on, I can help. Choosing your thoughts and feeling your feelings can undo negative patterns and behaviors to create the life you want to live. Therapy is a partnership that takes place in a compassionate and confidential environment, where you can identify and overcome the negative beliefs and patterns that stifle your growth.
