Therapists in Loveland, CO

Do you need the pain of yesterday to stop interfering with your aliveness and pleasure today? Is there a part of you that's says, "it's too much to look at all the crap I've been though. Just make it go away"? It's so disheartening to try and find a therapist that you actually feel connected to. Feel safe with. Feel seen by. When all the hurts and broken relationships of the past crash against the hopes of your future a therapist that's confronted their own privileged place in this world and healed through their own traumas, addiction, and battles with mental illness can be a saving grace.

Our ideal client navigates life's tumult, seeking solace from addiction, trauma, and transitions. They aspire for harmony in relationships, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. In their heart, there's a quest for healing and transformation, a desire to thrive beyond mere survival. At Integrative Care Collective, we offer a beacon of hope and a path to resilience, where every individual's journey is met with deep understanding and expert guidance. Together, we explore the realms of possibility, embracing each challenge with courage and every step forward with purpose.

I believe in a holistic approach, meaning my view of the therapeutic process is shaped by a curiosity about the whole person situated within relationships, community, and social context. Through discovering an individuals inner knowledge, their intuition, and that inner spark of existence, I believe there is value in exploring who we are as people. The goal of good psychotherapy quite simply put is to become more of who we authentically are, everyday. It is also my belief that people naturally go through phases in life of seeking and integration, and that in an ideal outcome the therapist becomes obsolete.

My ideal client is someone that is willing and wanting to transform their life. The greatest piece of artwork a person can create is an empowered, successful life. I have a large background with mental health and also working with adolescents and understanding how that stage of life can be very challenging. No one is immune to having things completely shake up their life, but in having support that empowers them to find their way and regain mastery in creating the life they want, that transformation is extremely possible.

Let’s be real. These are dark times, and uncertainty abounds. Old wounds may be coming to the surface, and the thought of facing them may feel downright terrifying……It IS terrifying. I believe that these moments are opportunities for us to learn, accept, and grow in our capacity to be Compassionate with ourselves, and with one another. This is how Transformational Healing occurs. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationships with substances, or existential dread (perhaps all the above), YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in a dynamic, related, and grounded style. My work is about supporting my clients in learning how to relieve their own suffering, relate to others more effectively and efficiently, and living the life they want to live. Much of this work is around transitions in life: puberty, education, individuation, relationships, work, self-identification, and grief. My work with couples and families is grounded in the Psychobilogical Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) and I am a Level II certified PACT therapist. I work with adolescents, adults, all genders, races, sexual orientations, and spiritual beliefs.

I work with clients who are experiencing grief, death anxiety, or are looking to develop a deeper relationship with death or other existential issues in their lives. I also specialize in working with clients that want assistance with navigating transitional periods or liminal spaces in their life, such as religious/spiritual transitions. My clients are also dealing with spiritual concerns or issues in their lives, such as how to avoid spiritual bypassing. They are seeking deeper meaning in their lives and exploring ways to become more calm and equanimous in their daily lives regardless of their external reality.

I have decades of experience in the fields of personal growth (since 1990) and mental health (2004); I've developed an approach based on Internal Family Systems (IFS), gestalt, and other models, called Conscious Heart Integration (CHI). It's gentle and transformative, and many clients say it's different than anything else they've tried. CHI goes beyond talk therapy. Of course, effective treatment includes being witnessed, heard, and deeply understood, but there is much more possible in healing spaces. Somatic, parts-based, and transpersonal models have opened the door for more experiential, holistic, and transformational treatment.
