Sports Performance Therapists in Superior, CO

Are you ready to start LIVING and not just surviving? I specialize in treating symptoms of trauma, eating disorders, substance use, mood disorders, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. And my goal is to help you achieve your dreams and goals that you have for your life and your mental health!

I specialize in working with teens, adults and families. When a teen or young adult is struggling, so is their family. Whether you are wanting your kid to get more out of life or are concerned about behavior/symptoms that destabilize your child's wellbeing, I can help. I also provide support for young adults that are working through the difficult transition to adulthood. For adult clients, I offer a deep understanding of the challenges of creating and sustaining meaningful relationships and navigating our fast and competitive modern society. You will gain important insights and support on your authentic path.

As a therapist, I am all about helping you taking the wheel. I'm here to guide you through uncharted waters, but you're the captain of your own ship. Together, we'll navigate the highs and lows, working towards insight and growth. My approach is direct and transparent while being rooted in empathy and understanding, ensuring that you feel heard, valued, and respected every step of the way.

I believe that all people are doing the best they can given their life experience and biology. At the same time, I believe that we can move forward by leaning in and sorting out our thoughts, emotions, and memories. I am both empathic and empowering- balancing the wisdom of our emotions with creating lasting change. My work is rooted in evidenced based techniques and I hope that every client develops one new insight by the close of every session. I want to see you feel better and have greater peace.

My ideal couple is one that has challenging issues that they are ready to tackle. They want to learn about themselves and their partner and are motivated to implement at home what they learn in the office. They show up on time and come on a consistent enough basis to get the traction they want in the right direction.

Life is difficult and, yes there is hope. Perhaps you have tried different approaches to find what you're looking for and yet nothing seems to have helped fill in that "gap" or that something that missing in your heart. I invite you to follow that thread; what in your heart that feels stuck? Consider even what comes up for you as I ask you that question? That internal struggle is good, it shows you're asking good questions and that you deep down know there's something more to be found.

I believe our emotional lives - our feelings & memories - provide vital links to our capacity for aliveness. However, we often struggle to makes sense of these experiences and to use them for meaningful change. Core emotions that frequently haunt us like fear, anger, sadness, loneliness can be openings to a greater sense of meaning when explored, elaborated, and understood in a therapeutic group setting.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self. I see my role as a compassionate guide who, through effective inquiry, honesty, and our reflection upon the power of choice, can assist your transformation big or small. Whether you desire to improve your parenting skills, assist your struggling teen or clear your path to living more authentically, I would enjoy joining you along your journey toward your greatest health.

Every client I have worked with wants some relief from intense feelings or states, some understanding of what is going on, and where to go! Something has become too much, too painful, off, too frustrating or too dull and they want or need change. Maybe there is a sense the tried-and-true methods of the past won’t create the necessary change and that some consistent professional help is needed. In short, if you want less of the bothering symptoms like anxiety, depression, challenges in relationships or self-defeating behaviors, and more vitality, positivity, depth, and a sense of meaning in your life, please reach out!
