Narrative Therapists in Silverthorne, CO

I have worked with many indiividuals and couples, and what separates those who benefit from therapy are the people motivated and courageous enought to peek into their blind spots, and as well as committed to learning from sometimes painful trial and error experiences of being human. I feel honored to lead people through this powerful process.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who are struggling with any range of life stressors; both internally and externally. As a licensed clinical social worker, I am trained in a variety of modalities and specialties and I have an extreme passion for helping my community. I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and very much enjoy working with folks looking to re-evaluate their relationship with substances. I am currently trained in Basic EMDR counseling and love working with folks from a trauma informed lens within this unique framework.

I support women, adolescents, and children that are managing emotional distress and lack of behavioral control brought on by trauma, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues.

I work with those who believe that relationships (with ourselves, others, and our environments) are what make life meaningful. If you’re struggling to feel fulfilled or consistent, I can provide support while we work to identify and address the contributing issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between ADHD and self-esteem issues, but I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues. Whether your priority is to facilitate concrete changes, or to simply feel seen and understood, therapy with me will be centered around you and your unique needs and preferences.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship distress, difficult transition, school/work issues, low self-esteem, and addiction. Although I approach therapy from a strengths-based perspective, I incorporate techniques from several different theories depending on the clients’ personality and circumstances. I work with clients to hear their concerns without judgment and to explore ways to achieve emotional growth, develop skills, and achieve desired changes.

Seeking support takes courage. Life brings experiences that prompt self-inquiry, exploration of relationships, and painful emotional states. You may experience mental health challenges that require both compassionate support and effective tools to navigate. Perhaps you find yourself engaging in behavior you’d like to change or using a substance that does not serve you. I am here to help navigate these challenges with you. I believe everyone can benefit from the therapeutic process and I am dedicated to helping you discover and nurture your inner wisdom.

I have been a mental health practitioner for over 25 years. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, identity and attachment dynamics. In my experience a common thread observed is the individual's need to be understood, to be accepted as they are, experience long term meaningful connections and to live an authentic vibrant life. Too often we adopt a judgmental inner narrative that is riddled with shame. In therapy I will help you learn to explore yourself and your relationship with others through the eyes of compassion and curiosity.

No one is immune to predisposed assumptions of what life should be. We all carry past experiences, present expectations, and future desires, while simultaneously holding our own beliefs around mental health and mental wellness. I believe in holding space for all parts that make you, you. I am committed to meeting you where you are on your journey of mental clarity and life transition. Life can be complicated; you are not alone. I welcome my clients to explore their current challenges, past experiences that might be holding them back, and future hopes. I am a strong believer that all people can improve their life.

Does your worry or self-doubt get in the way of what you want? Does anxiety or people-pleasing keep you from advocating for yourself? Would you like to change your relationship with food and your body? If yes, then I would love to get to know you more and see if I can help you rediscover your strengths, power, and solidify your authentic voice. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, eating disorders, and self-esteem issues that stem from life's overwhelm and pressures.

I am a relational therapist who supports individuals and couples who are wanting to pursue healing. My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, and confused as they go through challenging transitions, relationship difficulties, or begin to face past trauma. I help couples who want to deepen intimacy and rebuild a meaningful sense of connection. I help individuals gain more understanding and compassion as we explore the unique challenges they face, past or present.

Sometimes, challenges can get overwhelming or like they “don’t make sense." Often its embarrassing, or even baffling, to realize that life and feelings have gotten messy or out of control. I focus on helping adults to sort out the roots of things: why they feel depressed, anxious, scattered, or overwhelmed. Often its an accumulation of things over time. Sometimes a stage-of-life issue has become too much to navigate. But, knowing the why and what of challenges is only the starting point. Things need to change. I support people to manage better, feel better, and to move forward stronger.
