My belief is that when you build a strong alliance with your therapist, you create a really positive experience for the therapeutic process. I strive to create a safe positive place for adolescents to share their thoughts and feelings and learn new ways to work with conflict and setbacks they might be facing right now. Adolescents are having a hard time with all of the social distancing requirements and remote learning this often leads to anxiety, depression, and substance use. which then results in not completing school work. This is a hard time for families and it truly does affect the whole family.

Currently accepting new clients. I earned my Clinical Psychology doctorate degree from the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver. Throughout my time in practice, I have worked with a variety of individuals and specialize in working with adults who are struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adjustment and life transitions, family problems, learning problems, and issues related to culture/identity. I use a direct, open, and collaborative approach to foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to engage in creating meaningful change.

I believe healing occurs through connection. To me, therapy at its best is a collaborative and supportive relationship aimed at growth and alignment.

When working with Laine in therapy, you can gain new skills to think about the world and yourself differently, to alleviate distress, to reflect on and change your behavior, and to be more fully seen and understood. At times, therapy requires difficult and uncomfortable conversations, exploring things that we would rather not and having a witness to parts of ourselves we want to hide. The work you do in therapy with Laine can help you to meet this discomfort with validation, compassion, humor, accountability, and support.

Finding out that your partner is a sex addict is a devastating moment in your life and can feel like an emotional roller coaster with many different feelings coming one after another or at the same time. You are feeling like your world has been shattered. I am here to help you work through your trauma, validate the pain you are experiencing and provide a safe supportive space to help you heal.

I seek to work with individuals who are moving toward change, perhaps only knowing that change as a feeling, an inclination, and a belief there is a need for this change. They are driven to reveal more of themselves that has been muted by whatever patterns they've assumed. I believe we all pick up things along the way that we think we have to be or must do to get what we need. My aim is to walk alongside you and see if there are some things we are carrying that no longer serve who we are trying to be and/or become. My purpose is to listen past the words used and get to the true intention of what is longing to be heard.

I utilize humor, metaphors, and experiential activities to help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, I identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development.

I am a Master’s candidate in Social Work at the University of Denver, focusing on family systems and individual counseling.

Working with couples and partners, I will help to address mistrust, sexual trauma, problems with intimacy, relationship conflict, navigating sex during and after life transitions, and any other relationship or sexual concerns.

Making the decision to look on this website for a therapist is a big step. I respect and value your commitment to yourself. It can be hard to do something good for yourself, to take up space instead of always giving it away. I work with clients who are working on increasing their self-esteem, who are interested in exploring their identity, values, and needs. I work with clients who have been impacted by that pestering anxiety, depression, or eating disorder voice! I know it's really tough to be louder than that voice! I work with kids, teens, and adults who are figuring out how to cope with ADHD or other learning differences!

I help adults move from surviving to thriving. I create a safe space and supportive relationship where clients can gain a better understanding of behaviors that developed to protect/help them previously, but could be hindering them now. I help empower clients to utilize their strengths or put new tools in their emotional toolbelt to overcome challenging chapters in life. I focus on working with adult individuals struggling with trauma (including PTSD and complex PTSD), depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, and substance use disorders.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy in addition to supervising other therapists. My passion for helping people in their lives only continues to increase over the years. The feedback I receive is how well understood they feel in the therapy. I have over 18 years of involvement in peer supervision with major emphasis on couples and families. I teach the techniques of mindfulness to assist individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. Pain management,habit control or cessation as well a weight loss responds well to mindful awareness which is part of my practice. With many years of using hypnosis as well as EMDR I have found that these tools offer a full range of possible application to PTSD as well as other forms of anxiety disorders. Beyond problem solving in depth psychotherapy is actualizing personal growth which is at the heart of real change and transformation. I have found when people learn the how to of making these changes they have understandings that can last a lifetime.

The work at our group practice, Better Lives Building Tribes, focuses on that complex point, at which, individuals intersect with another. Through intimate/romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, families, and organizations that we are surrounded by, we learn where individual strengths and weaknesses are. Through that knowledge and understanding, we work with people to discover creative means of closing the gap between where people are right now and where they would ideally like to be.

I can help you to better understand patterns of thoughts and behaviors that leave you feeling stuck and then is then our work together to determine the best way to lead you to where you want to be.
