Sports Performance Therapists in Montezuma County, CO

Are you missing the joy that you once felt in your day to day life? Do you notice your heart racing even while you are at rest? Are you trying to adjust to daily challenges after a recent loss, or lifechanging event? The human experience is fraught with difficulty, however I believe we can work together to help you find meaning and peace in your life. I feel privileged to accompany a person on their journey of self examination, healing, and evolution, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of each individual and the interconnectedness of all humanity.

If you are ready for real change in your life and are tired of being stuck in the same routine, same fears, or same unhelpful thought patterns, then we will likely work well together. Many of the clients who see me for therapy have experienced excessive worry and hyper-vigilance, hopelessness, suffered from the aftereffects of a traumatic event, or have had difficulty connecting in relationships with others. I love working with women and men who are currently experiencing the wild changes and challenges of parenthood, particularly helping women find their selfhood during the pre and postpartum journey.

I love to work with people who want to work on themselves and are familiar with mindfulness. It is a great way to connect with ourselves and jump-start growth and healing. I often draw upon this strength to help you achieve your goals in therapy.

When I was 18, I was kicked out of college because of substance abuse that was masking my anxiety and depression. The gap between 15 and 30 is often seen as the "best" time in people's lives, but I know that it can be brutally challenging. Navigating new relationships, responsibilities, independence, identity issues and social pressures is so demanding. I am proud to have pulled myself out of that negative spiral, and I now strive to support young people - and their families - in doing the same.

I believe that we each have what it takes to move forward and succeed in life. Sometimes things happen to us beyond our control. Other times, we simply get in our own way. I've experienced both of these situations in my life, and I believe I can help you respond to life in a way that moves you forward in the direction you want to go. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the framework for how to live your best life. ACT's principles provide a new approach to life, a way of being in the world. I learned them as a client years ago, and I still practice them everyday in my own life.

I want to hear your story and help you to write the next chapter. Our stories give us a foundation for where we are at in our lives as well as direction for where we are going next. So, the question becomes, where do you want your story to go?
