I am very interested in helping you find relief. Whether it is a feeling of powerlessness, or feeling stuck I am interested in getting it resolved painlessly and easily. When previous disturbing experiences continue to cause problematic sensations and thoughts I can resolve that as well without re-living it. To this end, I and certified and use Rapid Resolution Therapy (R) Created by Dr. Jon Connelly. www.rapidresolutiontherapy.com

When you’re neck-deep in the struggle of parenting a child with special needs, taking the step to start your own therapy probably feels impossible. It might feel like just one more thing demanding your attention, one more appointment to keep straight, one more person telling you everything you’re doing wrong. My goal is to help you to feel more grounded and regulated so that all of the other things demanding your attention feel more manageable. I hope to support your parenting journey with a unique skillset that can address both your mental health needs, and bolster your skills around behavior management.

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist focused on Infant & Toddler Mental Health, whether the child is of average development or special needs, in single or multiple households. My mission is to guide parents of children ages 0-5 in uncovering their innate parenting powers to lead healthy, resilient, secure families with both confidence & serenity. Whereby, all parents create clarity and conscious choice in developing a family culture to raise children to their fullest potential in resilient families. Early relationships and parenting quality matter. Your baby's physical, social, emotional, behavioral, and brain development depend on it.

Are you worried that your preschooler's abrupt mood swings will be a problem when she enters kindergarten? Is your third grader easily frustrated, teary and self-deprecating over an inability to get things right? Are you discouraged because of your fourth grader's consistently angry and disrespectful behavior? Raising a child with difficult behaviors can be exhausting. . . As a play therapist and parent resource, I help parents have more harmonious and enjoyable relationships with their children.

Do you often struggle in your relationships, whether it be with family members, romantic partners, or friends? Are you an overwhelmed parent at a loss for how to care for both your child and yourself? Do you find it challenging to set boundaries and ask for what you need? Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, and burdened by past events. If your goal is to become your most authentic self, increase feelings of self-worth, discover your inner resources, and strengthen your relationships then I can help!

Do you struggle with anxiety, parenting, or life transitions? Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? Is your ability to find balance and and enjoyment in your day to day life impacted? Are you looking for support as you navigate challenging parenting demands? Now more than ever people and parents and are feeling anxious, and uncertain about finding happiness while balancing the needs of their families and children. I am here to support you and help you find balance and peace.

My goal is to provide clients caring, concrete, and practical answers using proven-effective treatment options. I feel strongly that clients should be a collaborator in their treatment and see improvements quickly. Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy provides quick solutions and reduces parental stress. Couples often seek therapy when communication is breaking down. Both PCIT and Gottman Method Therapy inform my work with couples and families.

I have been counseling since 2004, am a mother of five children and have worked as a financial life coach. I use talk/cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients become aware of issues or brokenness and pain that can be negatively affecting their lives. The goal is to guide my clients to a place of wholeness, where they are able to live out a peaceful and fulfilling life.

Hello! Every one of my clients is unique. What I specialize in is trauma, learned/experienced relationship patterns, adoption, family challenges, neuro-diversity and am LGBTQ+ friendly. . My focus is on using the (sometimes unrecognized) strengths of clients to overcome even severe obstacles to success. My 41 years of experience includes individual, family, and group psychotherapy, teaching at the Master's level at Regis University and DU, elementary school counseling, local and national educational presentations, and animal assisted therapy. I am also a birth, foster and adoptive parent.

Living in a neurotypical world with a neurodivergent brain is hard. It feels like pushing a boulder up a hill - only it doesn't matter how far up the hill you get, you always end up back at the bottom, watching other people push their boulders up, seemingly with ease. Parenting while neurodivergent or parenting a neurodivergent child can feel the same way. It's important to know that you aren't alone and there isn't something wrong with you.

If you are struggling (relationally, socially, emotionally, or vocationally) and need to know that you are OK, you are not alone. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, ADHD, or relationship issues that keep you from the life you want to live. You may be seeking understanding, validation, and permission to care for yourself. Thinking traps like "I shouldn't feel this way" are common and treatable. Sometimes it takes an outsider to help us recognize thinking patterns that block freedom. My goal is to empower people to make changes needed for a balanced, healthy life.

I take an eclectic & individualized approach for each client that utilizes concepts from CBT, family systems, & solution focused therapy. I incorporate concepts from art & play therapy, as well as somatic experiencing in efforts to improve self-awareness, promote connection, & increase mindfulness. As a parent & professional who has worked in our community with families & educators for over a decade, I understand that each individual, family, & child is faced with unique complexities & stressors that must be addressed on multiple levels with sensitivity & understanding.

Do you tend to hold your feelings in? Sweep things under the rug and pretend everything is okay? Do you help others but not yourself? Does the idea of sitting down and talking about feelings to a stranger sound terrible or terrifying? I want to help you confront the difficulties in your life head on. It’s my job as your therapist to listen to you, your needs, your wants, and your values and create a safe space that will allow you to be fully vulnerable. I’ll help you find and learn about the strengths you already have to help you gain higher self-esteem, comfort in your own skin and in your relationships, and overall more joy.

As a play therapist and family therapist, I believe that healing is a family affair, and, I include parents as an integral part of their child's therapy. I specialize in trauma, attachment, adoption, blended families, difficult and severe behaviors, as well as parenting, and issues stemming from any and all of the above. I love working with children and their parents and families. Children seem to have an innate sense of what is going on and what needs to happen in order for healing to occur, and, when they are able to express that and be heard, the whole family can shift and change.

Do you feel like you've hit a wall? You're spinning in circles? You keep reliving past experiences? Or perhaps you and your partner are having the same fights repeatedly with no resolution. Maybe you're a parent floating along in a sea of chaos that you can't ever seem to bring order to. Feeling alone, lost, or ashamed that you 'can't handle this' or you 'should know what to do' - everyone else seems to be doing just fine. There is no Life Manual, no Relationship Guide, no Parenting Handbook given at birth to navigate your life.

Feeling distracted or impulsive, procrastinating or have difficulty getting motivated? Does depression or anxiety take hold and you can't get anything done? Overwhelmed with job, household, school or relationship aspects of life? Feel like everyone else has it all together and you're just scraping by? Is parenting a child with special needs, or any child for that matter, becoming more difficult and you're unsure if you're doing things "right"? Do you feel your child's school could be doing more to support them? Let's discuss your unique needs, become more mindful, gain perspective and come up with a plan to reach goals together!

Life can be hard. Don't struggle alone - I'm here to help! I’ve spent 15 years as a therapist working with young children, parents, families, and those unsure of their parenting future. My specialty is supporting parents (or potential future parents) to process their own childhood and family dynamics, to help them make the best decisions they can for their families. I love working with parents before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as using dyadic therapy for parent/child to process trauma together. Regardless of your parenting status, I can support you individually, or with your child.

Great to meet you! Thanks for taking the first step in exploring how you can create a more fulfilling life. I work with clients ages 14+, with a focus on understanding client's behaviors and how they impact their relationships; both with themselves and others. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn the tools they need to have meaningful relationships and experiences. Therapy is a safe space to learn, practice and reflect on these tools and I hope that you feel empowered to take this first step.
