You may be struggling to regulate emotions, communicate effectively, rebuild trust, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect your daily life. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Clients walking through my door are those who are ready for change, but unsure of where to start. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, feeling disconnected from their true selves, and searching for meaning in life. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, perfectionism, and identify questions. They want both practical tools to work through these issues and deeper insight. They don't want to just cope - they want to truly understand themselves. They want to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in their daily life and relationships and find their sense of purpose.

Sometimes a seemingly minor event from childhood, or at other times major traumatic events that happen at any age, can overwhelm and stress us. Either immediately after or years later we start to feel the effects of these events. We may feel depressed or angry, feel anxiety or panic for no apparent reason, have unexplained physical pain, or experience difficulty sleeping or nightmares. These may start to interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. If some or all these are your experience, you are certainly not alone.

I offer in-person sessions at my office in Longmont, Colorado and online sessions for clients in Wisconsin and Colorado.
Many of the people I work with have tried everything: medical treatment, PT, medications, and still deal with chronic pain, fatigue, or other persistent symptoms. If that’s you, you’re not alone, and your symptoms are real. In many cases, ongoing symptoms are driven by patterns in the brain and nervous system rather than ongoing injury or illness. My work focuses on helping your system shift out of those patterns so symptoms can begin to change. This doesn’t mean your symptoms are “in your head,” it means your body has learned something it can also unlearn.

People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, worn down, or unsure how they’re supposed to keep going. Several years ago, my own family faced profound loss and upheaval that required us to rebuild our lives from the ground up. That season reshaped how I practice therapy. I understand, both professionally and personally, what it means to survive something that changes you—and how to slowly find your footing again. This perspective allows me to walk with clients who feel wounded, disoriented, or exhausted by the effort of carrying so much for so long.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
