Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Manitou Springs, CO

Based on my current stage of life I understand the unique struggles faced by children, adolescents, young adults and young married couples. I want to help guide them through the struggles of life and relationships with compassion and understanding.

In this age of narcissism and self-discovery, many are feeling isolated and alienated from others, causing us to reassess our relationships and personal choices. Many are disillusioned, anxious and depressed due to unwanted life experiences that threaten our sense of security and block our path to happiness. During this time of cultural and personal insecurity, some seek a space for guided reflection, discovery and contemplation of possibilities previously unconsidered. I provide services that promote healthy outcomes and empower clients to make authentic, self-directed changes that align with personal needs, values and aspirations.

"It's never too late to become who you were meant to be." T.S. Eliot. What are your words, your stories? What or who in your life would you like to be different? What's in the way of you living in the "more" of your life? It's my privilege to work with amazing people who have experienced relational issues, family struggles, betrayal, abuse, broken hearts, shattered dreams, unexpected loss, trauma and brokenness. For some it's hope deferred. Are you one who has lost your way and forgotten who you are? Let's talk. There's hope.

My primary interest is to be a catalyst for positive change in your life and to help you work through the individual challenges that keep you from experiencing the kind of life you desire and deserve. Empowering you to work toward the dreams and goals that are important to you is my intention. I have experience and training in working with addictions, depression, anxiety, men's issues, trauma, and helping individuals build relationship skills and enhancing their self-esteem. Whenever possible, I like to help you early-on to assist you in establishing your vision for the future, then we will work together in making that a reality.

My role is to create a safe enough environment for you to be your authentic self, first in therapy and then showing up authentically with those around you. Because no person is an island and most interact with others everyday, therapy can help you transition out of social awkwardness and isolation into enriched and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I have been promoting mental health professionally since 1998. I value ethical conduct, accessible pricing, effective interventions, and practical methods in psychotherapy practice. Please only email or call me but do not go to my website and book an appointment!

The Sanctuary of Growth is a place for those on the spiritual walk. A sanctuary where you can begin initiating and establishing positive change, new supportive routines and self-reflection in your life, also exploring areas that may hold many significant answers to your own journey of growth by allowing for spaces of healing and reflection that resonate with where you wish to head next. My practice is unique in joining evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches with spirituality based exploration, integration and training as the catalyst of growth and root source healing as a tool to help you navigate and uncover the healer within.

I enjoy working with clients who are curious about themselves and motivated for change. Sometimes we get stuck and aren't sure why. Sometimes we know why, but we don't know how to move forward. I enjoy helping people unpack where they're at and create a future they want. I create a safe, supportive space for you to grow and explore with humor and compassion.

It’s Wednesday night, and you’re up late again binging Netflix. You have to get up early, but you’re terrified of going to sleep where the nightmares lurk. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before your alarm starts to blare. Waking you to face another day, more stressed and exhausted. At the office, an innocent interaction with a coworker triggers memories of your trauma. You become caught in that moment again. Your heart races, palms sweat, and every nerve is on edge, ready to leap into action. You just want to run away. Get in your car, start driving, and never look back. But there’s no way to outrun yourself.

My work is grounded in the belief that the human spirit has the innate ability to heal if offered compassion, empathy, and support. Creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable is of utmost importance to me. Building trust and establishing rapport will be done over time, through intentional question-asking and validation. I use a multi-modal approach and pull from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques in my work with clients. Utilizing EMDR to reprocess negative thoughts about self into positive thoughts is a powerful intervention I love using with clients.

I will work with you to help you create the life that you want to live. You will learn how the relationships and choices you make influence your ability to live a life that fulfills you.

By providing a caring, compassionate, and free space to express past traumas, disruptive thought patterns, and confusing life circumstances, I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client. Through counseling, clients can begin to experience the power behind their own convictions and step into a position of power over their own internal landscape. I believe in dismantling oppressive systems and harmful patterns within individual's lives through meaningful and powerful therapeutic intervention.

Everyone seeks out counseling for different reasons. Perhaps they have anxiety, an addiction, or problems in an intimate relationship. Some folks are looking for assistance as they learn what effective communication and healthy boundaries look like. Others have a desire to heal deep emotional wounds from the past and learn how to let go. Everyone has a different story; whether we're processing or problem-solving, I'm in your corner.
