Dance Movement Therapy in Broomfield, CO

When life transitions throw you off track you can always yell "plot twist" and make a change! Welcome to Courage to Create Counseling! I'm so glad you're here. If you're looking for support in navigating challenging life moments, transitions, leaving difficult situations, starting new adventures, setting boundaries, rediscovering who you are, or meeting yourself for the first time, I am here with a compassionate heart, non-judgemental space and creative passion to help you create the life you want.

My work with clients supports their emotional and relational well-being by exploring what gets in their way from living the way they desire. I weave extensive experience in working with complex trauma with systems work - exploring the ways in which the context we are surrounded by, deeply impacts our ability to live an embodied life. My clients often come to me because they have been to therapy before and are looking for a direct approach that supports them in moving out of pure awareness, and into embodied living. Embracing the present moment while moving towards change.

You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship. You've been trying on your own, but the problems in your relationship feel stuck, like they're just not going anywhere. You find yourself and your partner getting upset and reacting in the same old unhelpful ways over and over, but just don't know how to find your way back to authentic, loving intimacy. You're scared there might not be a way back. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can reclaim the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing, and find a way out of the same old fights and back into being in love.

Being a person living in a marginalized body it can be hard to understand the impact of your everyday experiences. You need a space for yourself to be heard, to be seen, and most importantly to feel. Talk therapy is useful, but if it doesn’t incorporate the body, it’s not complete. Our bodies give us cues about what we need, so developing a better relationship with your body gives you more understanding and flexibility in real-time. As a somatic therapist, I will work with you to identify cues and triggers to have more choices when you need to set a boundary or stand up for yourself or a loved one.

True transformational healing happens at the level of the soul. Traditional counseling focuses on fixing faulty thinking. Rather, let's uncover the negative unconscious beliefs about yourself that motivate this thinking. It is the quality of the relationship that you have with yourself that will ultimately determine how quickly you can manifest what you love.

Life can be daunting, overwhelming and sometimes difficult to cope with. Sometimes, it can feel like we're just existing rather than loving the life we live. Maybe you've had past experiences that have led to substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, shame or feelings of loneliness. Maybe you've struggled to see a way out, or feel constantly reminded of a history you'd like to forget. Maybe you've tried to heal but keep finding yourself in the same patterns, same feelings, same thoughts. Or maybe you haven't known where to even start. You're not alone in any of this, and you don't have to begin your journey to healing alone.

The cycles of overwhelm, internalized aggression, and self-abandonment are not solitary experiences - they happen as complex responses to trauma, stress, depression, grief, and disconnect. Whether you are struggling with addiction, life transitions, or any challenging pattern, the impulse to escape the present moment can influence a painful cycle of suffering. In the process of reclaiming the self, we cannot approach healing on a solely cognitive level. Every aspect of the collective self holds the wounds and wisdom that, if honored in mutual regard, can guide an individual towards profound growth.
