Therapists in Louisville, CO

I love working with teens, couples and individuals who are ready to dive deep! With 8 years of experience in the therapy field and a featured appearance on VICE News, I specialize in aiding individuals dealing with a range of challenges, including narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, complex grief, OCD, anxiety, depression, and various personality disorders. My expertise extends to existential and spiritual crises, women’s issues, toxic relationships, racial oppression, men’s issues, couples therapy, and paranormal activity. In the realm of forensics, I have work with both perpetrators of sexual offenses and victims of crime.

I am passionate about helping children, adults, and their families get unstuck, find hope, have better relationships, and start laughing again. I strive to provide a safe space for clients to explore the parts of themselves they have avoided or ignored; to discover new perspectives about themselves, others, and the world; and to acquire new skills to cope with stress and the difficult situations life presents.

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.

I am an open minded psychologist and meditation instructor specializing in couples, family and relationship therapy, individual therapy for anxiety, depression and life stressors for adults and children. I utilize an integrative approach including mindfulness and acceptance, family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic and narrative therapy in working with a wide range of clients and problems. I seek to meet clients where they are and understand their cultural contexts while helping them reach their goals. I am a kind, compassionate and motivating therapist that collaborates with clients to live their best life.

Unique to my practice is my ability to mirror your innate wisdom. With this relational focus, whether you are coming in for individual or couples therapy, you'll begin to work through issues, and increase your confidence while doing so. I hold a safe space that is conducive to exploring those scary and sometimes dark places that we fear, like broken heartedness, and come out the other side with tenderness, wisdom, & contentment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 26 years of experience. I provide couples, Individual, and Family Therapy. My modalities include EMDR, CBT, DBT, Hakomi, and PACT Level 3 for couples therapy. I am considered a Trauma expert and provide trauma-informed treatments. Many of my clients struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic pain, medical trauma and relationship issues. My approach is collaborative, preventative, educational and inclusive.

I help clients regain vision for their lives through a holistic approach considering their physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and relational well-being. My approach has been described by clients and co-therapists as compassionate as well as practical. I believe that when people are able to live out of their strengths, they will experience a greater sense of purpose in life and in their relationships. My specialities are sexual issues and relational dynamics, life and career coaching, and trauma/grief. I have helped those suffering from sexual addictions, poor body image, anxiety, depression, anger, and attachment issues.

I work with men, children, adolescents, college and Highly Sensitive People. With men, I specialize in increasing emotional intelligence and communication so they can enrich relationships with their loved ones that are struggling or can be better than it is. When working with children and adolescents, I specialize in anxiety, building coping and interpersonal skills, and healing through traumatic or confusing times and events. With Highly Sensitive People, I specialize in helping understand their world and how to interact with it, and provide tools to take their unique strengths and qualities for self-actualization.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

As human beings I believe we all hold the power to heal from within. Be it trauma, grief, integrating medicine, or the simple ins and outs of your day to day, you are invited to explore and integrate all parts of yourself without judgment. Weaving together my multicultural upbringing, training in Mindfulness, and love for the natural world around us, I've develop a holistic whole-person approach where I work experientially with my clients. Together, with mother earth, a safe space is created where you can be nurtured and held on your healing journey. Some days we may sit by the creek chatting, and others making herbal medicine.
