Teletherapy for Louisville, CO

We all desire meaningful, close relationships to bring happiness in our lives. Developing a trusting and supportive therapy relationship can be an important start getting there. Feeling connected in relationships is an essential aspect of our emotional well-being. My passion over the past 29 years, is helping clients develop relational mindfulness through exploring thoughts, feelings, past traumas, and early attachment patterns. My work is attachment-informed, IFS informed, and emotionally focused. Together, we'll explore how to build greater self-compassion, acceptance, and strong emotional awareness.

I am a individual adult counselor and PACT trained couple/marriage therapist. Psychotherapy is a journey of self-exploration, self-discovery and self-awareness. My approach centers around a belief in the healing and transformative power of mindfulness, and mind-body awareness. With guidance and support, these tools lead to freedom, joy, the manifestation of your natural talents and gifts, and your true voice. I offer a supportive, compassionate style, and a strong, steady, presence for our work together; I also skillfully and precisely challenge the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

Exhausted with your life and wondering how you got here? Confused about your career direction, relationships or making sense of your experiences? Have anxiety, drugs and alcohol or shadows of past trauma become too familiar? Having someone to help you sort through the pieces and re-orient to your own life and values is crucial. Getting to a place of clarity, aliveness and self-awareness is possible and so worth it.

Live Your Life On Purpose! It's not uncommon for us humans to move through the world feeling stuck & trapped by old habits and patterns, confused & lost amidst life changes, or disconnected & out of place in the world. I am passionate about guiding you in discovering and connecting with the deeper truth of who you really are and supporting you in transforming the habitual limitations and ties that bind, as you step into your own power and freedom to live authentically & on purpose. That essence is in each of us and our world needs us to truly be here now.

Social abilities are critically important to life success! If you are struggling in relationships with family, friends, or co-workers, you probably already know that social problems can interfere with success in many areas of life. With therapy individualized to you, your partner, or your family, you can develop the critical skills needed for experiencing social success at home, work, or school.

Transform your relationship with life! Reduce stress. Release old patterns. As a licensed psychologist and registered yoga teacher, I help clients with the difficult emotional housecleaning needed to build more vibrant, satisfying, authentic lives.

Welcome! Beginning therapy requires bravery, vulnerability, and strength. I commend you for taking this important step to help yourself heal. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment to help teens, young adults, and adults live happier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in helping people process and overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD, challenging relationships, life transitions, and other issues by developing increased inner-compassion, self-awareness, and healthy thought patterns.

I believe everyone has the right to pursue happiness and that everyone possesses the capacity to achieve their own happiness. Finding the right kind of therapy can be difficult. Often times, therapists require you to drive to an unfamiliar office, expect you to explain the challenges you're having at home, and then return home to try and put what you've learned into action. Why not explore, learn, and change things in your home in real time? I offer individual and/or family therapy directly in the home to address real challenges in real time. Regain control of your life and bring happiness back into your home.

Welcome! I'm a therapist with a passion for helping individuals overcome unhelpful anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues so they can live more fulfilling lives. While all emotions serve valuable purposes, they can sometimes feel overwhelming and limit our life experiences. However, with the right support, you can build resilience and develop coping skills to navigate life's challenges. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore your emotions, behaviors, and associated issues (such as anxiety, depression, and substance use) and discover effective strategies to achieve better mental health.

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Colorado. I have the authority to practice under PSYPACT. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 20 years. Most recently, I served patients at UCHealth. Currently, in addition to providing services through Lightbrook Psychology, LLC, I am full-time clinical faculty at the University of Denver, Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP). Apart from my professional work, I love spending time with my kids and my Golden Retriever. I love running, hiking, camping and creative writing. I have a running podcast that focuses on running, parenting and mid-life challenges.

The mind is a good servant, but a bad master. Stop being blown around like a leaf on the wind by every thought, feeling, and memory that pops into your head. Mental events arise involuntarily, and the more you try to force them all into the mold of happiness, the more they seem to rebel, like trying to smooth out waves in water with your hands. However, just because you can’t control them directly does not mean that you have to be controlled by them. You can learn to stop touching the water and let the waves settle, and how to stop buying in to every mental event, even when negative ones do arise.

Are you or one of your children feeling depressed or anxious? Is your family having difficulty communicating? I work with children, adults and families around issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, and trauma. I will help you develop strong self-esteem, coping skills, and success in social, school, and family life. I strongly believe that we do not have to be held back by our pasts or struggles, but can grow and learn from them. I am here to work alongside you and your family to find ways to heal and thrive.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to heal and reconnect. Therapy can be an intimidating journey and as a therapist I strive to create an environment for my clients that feels caring and supportive, welcoming all emotions and experiences into the space. I work with my clients to better themselves at the pace they feel ready to work at while establishing trust and compassion. In my counseling work I offer client centered approaches, tailoring to each clients individual needs while building a therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about holding space for trauma and specialize in working with teens and young adults.

When I explain my job to my youngest clients, I tell them that sometimes people have big emotions that make everyday activities like planning, getting to work, or even getting out of bed in the morning seem impossible. And it is my job to help those people figure out how to feel better. Our lives are full of trauma, loss, and challenge. It is easy to get overwhelmed by these experiences and fall into habits that don't serve our greater goals.

I specialize in treating anxiety. Side effects include depression, insomnia, fears, worries, relationship problems and more. We work to relieve these issues through EMDR, EFT, and couples therapy, as well as teaching you skills to improve your self talk to eliminate triggers you can control. My training in Psychology and the teachings of of Buddhism, Hinduism and A Course in Miracles, gives me an east-west vantage point to meet you wherever you are. I have over 30 years of meditation and mindfulness practice and over 20 years working in mental health which translates to proven and effective benefits and powerful change in you.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/integration, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships.

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

As a child, adults said to you: “Wow, you’re mature for your age!” Maybe you had to be. Growing up, you walked on eggshells, desperate to keep the peace. You tried to stay as small, quiet, and compliant as possible. You found yourself parenting your parent, navigating their difficult emotions, but you weren’t allowed to have any of your own. As an adult, you find yourself continuing to live in these patterns. You say “yes” when you want to say “no”. You put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. You deny your emotions and you doubt your intuition. You feel lonely, unseen, and unknown.
