Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in La Veta, CO

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Colorado, with a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have 4 years of experience in the therapeutic space; assisting, guiding, joining and believing in my clients to reach their goals and potential. I have lived my professional career over the last 14 years, in wonder and amazement at the true power that comes from believing in our worth as humans. I want to teach people what's right with them, as they have been hearing for years all that is 'wrong' with them. I want to assist you in changing the language around who you are and what you're here for.

I specialize in working with individuals who want to improve their relationships. IFS therapy can help people recognize and address the internal parts of themselves that influence their interactions with others. I am especially passionate about working with parents who feel overwhelmed and who are highly critical of themselves. I help parents understand and heal parts of their own system so they can be less stressed, more effective, and feel more connected to their kids.

If you’re reading this and considering counseling, there’s a part of you that’s searching for healing, wholeness, meaning, and joy, and I want to help you find it. I work with adult individuals using IFS, EMDR, guided imagery, and experiential and somatic therapies to help people heal from experiences like abuse, neglect, spiritual/religious or cult trauma, unwanted or compulsive sexual behaviors, depression, and codependency. I enjoy working with young adults, creatives, geeks and gamers, intuitive people who want to go beyond the black-and-white, and overthinkers of every variety!

Hi, if you are someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or controlled by your own emotions or behavioral reactions, or perhaps trapped within the confines of meaning you've internalized about yourself, others and this world, I want to help you. I am a clinical psychologist who loves working with people from all walks of life. I embrace diversity and welcome anyone, regardless of race, spirituality or sexual/gender identity. I hope to create a genuine therapeutic relationship within which we can begin the process of deep healing where all parts of you (no matter how hidden) feel welcome and free to have a voice, exist & be witnessed.

For years you’ve hidden yourself away, tucked into a box, because you were told you weren’t good enough as you are. You were told you had to follow “the rules” of your family, friends, or religious community in order to be loved and accepted. Rules like: what to wear, how to act, who to love. So you did. You lived by their rules, afraid that if you shared your opinions, beliefs, and identities with your family, friends, or religious community they would have nothing to do with you. And you can’t do it anymore. You deserve to be fully you. I can help.

We, as humans, have an incredible potential for growth, but we often find life difficult; we feel stuck, alone, and uncertain. I believe that when we work through the hard things, we can find healing. I strive to create counseling relationships based on safety, trust, and hope, where people are accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I believe counseling is an opportunity to work through pain and suffering, develop resiliency which can be carried forward into life, and experience healing, freedom, purpose, and self-acceptance.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Do you ever think to yourself, "What's wrong with me?" or "How come I cannot snap out of it?" Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with you and you simply cannot snap out of it. There are a lot of social stigmas when we have emotional struggles; we internalize these beliefs. Sometimes, we resist seeking treatment because it can be seen as a weakness because of underlying trauma or experience. This worsens over time whether you are depressed, anxious, fearful, frustrated, resentful, or angry. I believe many of us want to have understanding, support, empathy, and new coping methods.
