Trauma Focused Therapists in Dumont, CO

As a counselor in practice for nearly two decades, I balance the needs of my clients by utilizing a supportive and empowering therapy style. I believe the act of seeking help, shows an internal strength we don't always recognize in ourselves.

I work with those who believe that relationships (with ourselves, others, and our environments) are what make life meaningful. If you’re struggling to feel fulfilled or consistent, I can provide support while we work to identify and address the contributing issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between ADHD and self-esteem issues, but I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues. Whether your priority is to facilitate concrete changes, or to simply feel seen and understood, therapy with me will be centered around you and your unique needs and preferences.

As you search for a therapist, consider the value of hard-won experience when it comes to seeking help to live your best life. I've spent the last 20 years sharpening my skills and education as an individual therapist, couples counselor and mental health columnist for the Denver North Star newspaper. I'm the only Denver area therapist trained in AIT (more on that below). What is compelling you to consider therapy at this time? Whether you're mildly curious about what therapy can offer you to bring you to a more meaningful life, or ready to face some of the deeper issues, let's talk about how I can help you.

You don't want to fight with your partner. But no matter what you do, you can't seem to avoid it . . . and you can't seem to stop fighting. You're walking on eggshells, and everything you do seems to set your partner off. This can't go on. You need to figure out how to make it better. If you’re struggling to find the right things to say or the right things to do to make your partner happy, I can help. I help couples stop fighting and start communicating.

If you are reading this, there is a chance that you or someone close to you is struggling right now.

We will focus on your relationship with yourself and on strengthening the skills you already have. Let's work together to get you to the life you want!

I believe that we all have important stories to tell. Sharing those impactful stories while working through the emotions and self beliefs tied to them can bring clarity, ease, and a sense of understanding. In my practice, I vow to hold a space of warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance for my clients to allow their stories and vulnerabilities to be heard and nurtured. I enjoy working with individuals who want to build awareness of patterns that they feel stuck in; and together, we will explore avenues of change.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Do you ever think to yourself, "What's wrong with me?" or "How come I cannot snap out of it?" Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with you and you simply cannot snap out of it. There are a lot of social stigmas when we have emotional struggles; we internalize these beliefs. Sometimes, we resist seeking treatment because it can be seen as a weakness because of underlying trauma or experience. This worsens over time whether you are depressed, anxious, fearful, frustrated, resentful, or angry. I believe many of us want to have understanding, support, empathy, and new coping methods.
