If you are hoping to use insurance, you must reach out to The Rainbow Circles, ie. text 970-900-6179. TRC’s waitlist opens and closes as availability changes. You may or may not be interested in: Buddhism-Informed Contemplative Counseling, Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families, finding a truly multiculturally proficient therapist, GROUP therapy.
I have specialty training in EMDR, gestalt therapy, mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling, parts work, dream work, & group therapy. I lead with a deep sense of respect for your experience, and I invite you to creatively explore your awareness in the here and now. Our relationship is the vehicle through which you will grow and change.
I will work to build a safe enough relationship with you through relating authentically, creating a space where you are free to cry AND laugh! Notice how you feel when you imagine living life more fully. Fear may arise, as well as a sense of aliveness and curiosity. I invite you to take note of whatever arises. I'm here whenever you're ready to reach out.
