Teletherapy for Colorado

Opening up to a therapist may not always be easy or comfortable for a new or existing client. I try to put my clients at ease and meet them with supportive, nonjudgmental, positive regard. I am an active listener that captures the nuances behind the words and holds great regard for each person’s story. I enjoy assisting clients in finding new ways to live happier, more fulfilling lives.

When working with clients, it is important for me to center the wisdom each individual, couple, and/or family bring to therapy. Starting from this place allows me to center and validate the experiences of my clients from an inclusive perspective. My goal is to balance trusting the client to make the best decisions for themselves and creating space for collaboration throughout the therapeutic process. My training as a social worker, marriage and family therapist, and educator provide me with the tools needed to guide clients through the therapy process. In my work, It is important to meet you where you are and let the tools follow!

Our typical clients are children and adolescents who are struggling with a specific change, transition, trauma incident, loss, or other stressor that is causing behavioral and emotional concerns, like defiance, anxiety, depression, self-harm, which interferes with school, home-life, and other relationships. Clients have goals to decrease behavioral concerns at home and school, improve emotions, coping skills, communication skills, and school performance. A lot of parents want their children to listen, respect, and connect and communicate with them. We also work with individual adults, families and couples.

Nothing changes if nothing changes! Focus on what you want for yourself and how you want your life and relationships to be better vs. spending a lot of time rehashing the past. Looking to the past can have its benefits and we can certainly explore. We can address being stuck and unhealthy patterns. We will spend more time moving forward, next steps and the difference the changes will make. I utilize a Solution Oriented approach, which clients appreciate and find helpful. I see adolescent and adult individuals, couples and families. Clients have told me they appreciate my direct feedback and interactive approach with them.

Do you and your partner(s) constantly fight or avoid each other? Interested in an Open Relationship or Consensual nonmonogamy? Are you reeling from infidelity or betrayal? Has conflict in your polycule caused negative impacts in your daily lives? Need support navigating a big life change? Is there disconnect between your current beliefs, how you were brought up, and how you want to live NOW? I can help you embrace these differences and move beyond the beliefs that no longer serve you. Together we can bring your way of life and relationships in line with your beliefs.

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Are you ready for a change for the better? Then let me help you. I work with people who feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied; people who feel frustrated in their ability to connect with others or themselves; people who feel ashamed, inauthentic, blocked, or unable to live to their fullest potential. I believe in your ability to make a difference in your life and with your life; I have devoted my career to helping people like you.

No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to live happy and fulfilling lives. Life is hard and can present us with emotional challenges we’re not sure how to process. The first step is asking for help. If you're going through the adoption process, are an adoptee (youth or adult), experiencing relationship issues (monogamous and non-monogamous), are of a marginalized community, or have a special needs child in the family, I'd love to help you process through the complex feelings that accompany your unique intersection of identities.

As a play therapist and family therapist, I believe that healing is a family affair, and, I include parents as an integral part of their child's therapy. I specialize in trauma, attachment, adoption, blended families, difficult and severe behaviors, as well as parenting, and issues stemming from any and all of the above. I love working with children and their parents and families. Children seem to have an innate sense of what is going on and what needs to happen in order for healing to occur, and, when they are able to express that and be heard, the whole family can shift and change.

Does your life seem overwhelming? Do you feel worthless, alone or depressed? Do you try to improve your relationships, but nothing seems to help? Possibly you ruminate on circumstances from your past which robs you of a peaceful present. This may cause depression and/or anxiety, which makes your life difficult. You may feel completely alone in this. I have also struggled with these issues, and found a lot of healing through therapy. I am confident that you can too. Are you ready to make changes in your life so you can have a joy-filled future? I believe this is possible for you!

If you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, I have over 15 years of experience and want to work with you. My goal is to help you feel better and be able to live your best life. My approach to decreasing your anxiety, relational conflict or depression includes using nutrition and other lifestyle factors to help you see the whole picture. Your mental and physical health are closely intertwined and I want to help you make changes in both areas to improve your overall wellness. Life is short, let me help you take a step towards a brighter future.

Are you seeking to improve your relationship with yourself and others? Want to make positive shifts in your life and need further support? Struggle with feeling fulfilled and connected in our fast-paced world? Seeking a different, more holistic approach to treating mental health concerns, that takes into account your mind, body, and spirit? Looking to explore your sexuality or address sexuality-related concerns? Cope with chronic health issues or support someone who does? Want to cultivate more vulnerability and reduce feelings of shame? Just want a connective, introspective space to explore life's questions?

I believe we are all capable of growth and wellness. My goal is to offer you a safe place to come and work on your most personal and inner self. My theoretical approach is client-centered, focusing on the counseling relationship and self-exploration. The counseling relationship is the most important part of the process to me because it models what unconditional acceptance and authenticity feels like. I offer a holistic perspective to wellness, working with you to consider self-care routines and mindfulness practices.

Many things can impact our lives and relationships from stress, anxiety, and depression, to trauma, substance use, sexual difficulties, life transitions, and unresolved childhood attachment injuries. My hope is that together we will cultivate new corrective experiences that bring you closer to your true needs and desires. Together, we will identify your goals and set you up to achieve them. Through therapy we will develop better communication and connection skills that will foster deeper connections with the people in your life. I will strive to help you regain confidence in your innate strengths and abilities, hopes, and dreams.

You thought your hard work and training would be enough to make you excel but here you are, once again, underwhelmed by your results. You've tried putting in more effort; working harder than before to improve but let's face it - it's not doing the trick. The anxiety and self-doubt creeps in: "Am I actually good enough?", "Should I just quit?", "Will this ever get better?". The uncertainty continues to grow and you feel like you're underwater, choking at the most unideal times.

I'm thrilled to have a full time office to offer clients in person sessions, as well as video or phone for those who prefer. I especially enjoy seeing couples in person as we grapple with issues of communication, fidelity, substance use, intimacy, or even whether or not to continue the relationship. Similarly, I like working with adult individual clients to work on a behavior or relationship that is keeping them stuck, or on ways to understand and manage emotions and needs to get the best out of life.

I take a holistic and contextual approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My areas of focus include sexuality, sex, identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life-transitions.

We are all born with dreams and a purpose to fulfill. Sometimes those dreams are muted or tossed aside in the face of grief, challenges or simply the effort to survive. There are times when each of us will face challenges that seem beyond us. The good news is, you do not have to do it alone. Let me help you remember your true identity and call out the strength within that you may not be able to see. You are unique, resilient and made for the journey in which you find yourself.
