Sex Worker Allied Therapists in East Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO

I feel that it's important for clients to feel warmth, sincerity and comfort when in therapy. It's my goal that my clients feel heard, respected and validated while processing disheartening experiences.

Feeling sad, lonely, or stuck? Always feeling like life and everything in it hates you? Can't shake memories or events from the past? Do you work hard but have no time to do anything else? Do you just want to be seen? Are you in a relationship that struggles to have a civil conversation? Can you not go a day without yelling, calling names, or blaming each other for actions that happen? Has your sex life disappeared and you have no idea why? Have you or your partner been unfaithful and you truly want to work to find forgiveness and repair your relationship?

One of my favorite quotes is: "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." - Carl R. Rogers. We can begin to heal when our pain is acknowledged and we feel supported, both by ourselves and a compassionate other. I am an EMDR trained therapist and a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. I work with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also an embodied therapist, meaning I feel it's important to practice what I preach. If I were to sum up my practice in one sentence, it would read as follows: I am an EMDR Therapist who utilizes Parts Work and believes in the power of the nervous system for healing.

Are you feeling stuck or alone in your process? Maybe that you’re drowning in your thoughts or having difficulty enduring this thing we like to call “life?” Life is about enduring and that comes with its challenges. As humans, we don’t endure well alone. Trauma is not what has happened to us, it’s how we are impacted by what’s happened. Whether or not we like the word, we all have levels of trauma and need a place to sort through it. Trauma can be a scary word, but I want to emphasize that even the silent treatment is a big T trauma to a little kid, which can impact their functioning for a lifetime.

Seeking counseling services can be intimidating. My goal is to reduce any discomfort by making it a priority to build rapport and creating a comfortable space for you to be able to benefit from services. I feel strongly about empowering clients to take the lead in their sessions, along with my guidance, ensuring a collaborative process. Sometimes that takes time and that is absolutely okay.

I believe too many women are suffering in silence and isolation as they give of themselves but don't receive the same support in return. I consider myself to be both "eclectic" and "holistic" in my approach, meaning that I use different types of proven psychotherapies (like CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-Based therapies) to help with the health and wellness of the mind, body, and spirit. Together this means I know that one method doesn't work for everyone and that I find it important to look at the whole you. You will be getting a customized healing journey that you help create because I trust that you are the best expert on your life. 

When you’re experiencing a sexual issue in your relationship, you feel lonely, unheard, or longing for more connection with your partner. You might be wondering how a great relationship has become so sexually disconnected. One thing is certain: you’re ready for your relationship to change. You’re ready to feel heard. Most of all, you’re ready to feel understood and re-connect with the person that’s most important to you. As a couples and sex therapist who is genuine, humorous, and caring, I can help you build practical relationship skills, navigate sexual issues, and do the deeper work of uncovering unhelpful relationship patterns.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and a host of other challenges can rob us of our identity and potential in life. The importance of finding a person you feel safe exploring the brightest and darkest parts of you with can’t be overstated. My goal is to help you see and achieve your unique potential, to uncover that beautiful self beneath the wounds of your life, and ultimately – to feel better!

It’s not easy to make the decision to begin therapy. It’s can be scary and overwhelming. When we make the decision to begin therapy, we are putting our trust in a stranger during a time when we might be experiencing severe anxiety, maybe we’re in an episode of depression or we’re looking for help to resolve past trauma, and we're expected to be vulnerable and share our story with this person from day one.
