Therapists Beginning With S in Colorado

The most important goal I have as a therapist is to offer a space for you to be listened to and feel safe and supported. From this place of comfort, we can begin therapy and move through therapeutic processes, and create goals to work on in our time together. Whether you would like to just talk and share your thoughts, or create specific goals such as anxiety reduction, increasing positive thought patterns and behaviors, improving overall wellness, or identifying specific wellness areas you would like to improve on, this time together is for you.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) trained in IFS, I am absolutely passionate about helping those impacted by sexual integrity issues. I work with "addicted parts" using individual, couple, and group therapy modalities. I am quite aware of relational trauma that partners of sex, porn, and relationship addicts experience, and I compassionately work to guide addicted parts through isolating and shame-filled experiences. My role is to help reduce this shame and systematically get to the root of the addictive and compulsive behaviors that have led to intimacy disorder issues.

I offer an integrative approach that honors the mind and the body, while providing you with tools to navigate your unique path in life.

Brene Brown says "Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when in fact it's the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight " I know and have lived with that pressure to look a certain way, constantly perform at the most optimum level and hold myself to an impossible standard. It is awful, it tears you apart on the daily and can make you anxious, depressed and cause a lot of disappointment and shame. As a recovering "perfectionist" myself I get it and I'm here to tell you there is a way out!

Maybe you just need a nudge to be precisely who you are at your highest level. Maybe you're looking for someone to see your magic and remind you of it because you have forgotten. Whether life is going well or you are struggling to be well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Everybody hurts and faces challenges; fear is loud, but it's not the boss of us. With guidance you may be surprised to learn that you have considerably more power than you realize, and that the source of that power is already carried within you.

It’s Wednesday night, and you’re up late again binging Netflix. You have to get up early, but you’re terrified of going to sleep where the nightmares lurk. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before your alarm starts to blare. Waking you to face another day, more stressed and exhausted. At the office, an innocent interaction with a coworker triggers memories of your trauma. You become caught in that moment again. Your heart races, palms sweat, and every nerve is on edge, ready to leap into action. You just want to run away. Get in your car, start driving, and never look back. But there’s no way to outrun yourself.

Adults I work with often find they are an expert in taking care of everyone around them but feel uncertain how to take care of themselves. They may be "people pleasers" and know in great detail what others may need and how to fix things, but struggle to know what they need, how they feel or how to address their own problems. This often leads to feelings of anger, resentment, exhaustion, self-harming thoughts and neglect of their own needs, with an increase in anxiety, depression, or grief. They may also have experienced trauma and are struggling with triggers impacting their functioning.

I believe no one is exempt from healing or wholeness. My philosophy is that we can learn the skills needed to engage our courage, cultivate trust, embrace truth, and realize the wholeness inherent within. We do not exist in isolation, and that is a clue to healing. As a therapist I companion your journey, guiding with perceptivity and clinical expertise but ultimately cultivating client self-determination, nurturing the innate guidance within, and honoring the client as the authority over their own personhood. Investing in ourselves and our healing benefits everyone, and that investment comes back to us in unforeseen beautiful ways.

I believe we are all born with everything we need to thrive, then life slaps us in the face in an abundance of ways from a variety of directions and we adjust our beliefs and behaviors in order to simply survive. If you are here looking for a therapist, it is likely you are not satisfied with how you have adjusted to life’s various assaults. My approach to therapy is more direct, utilizes humor, and is founded in cognitive behavioral theory with a strengths based perspective. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for something different and willing to do the hard work to get it.
