Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Castle Rock, CO

My mission is to guide children, parents and families towards an increase in strength and resiliency. Teaghlach (pronounced /chye-lukh/) means family in Irish Gaelic. Family is a subjective term, meaning there is no “normal” when it comes to identifying what a family means to you. Strength and resiliency comes from families of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are looking for support for your child dealing with anxiety, behavior or self-esteem, or for yourself, individually or along with your partner, to grow in your relationships and skills, I hope that you find Teaghlach Counseling to be the support your family is looking for.

I am an experienced therapist specializing in TRAUMA, PTSD, DOMESTIC ABUSE, DEPRESSION, SEXUAL ABUSE, SUICIDAL IDEATION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. Many people have insight into their problems, but are unable to fix them on their own. We will work together to understand your current feelings and behaviors, why they are disrupting your life, and help build new skills and strategies with the goal of achieving a life worth living.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I’ve worked with adolescents (11+) and adults in various settings, including inpatient facilities and crisis centers. Using CBT and DBT, I support clients facing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, relational conflicts, and personality disorders.

I am current accepting new clients and am telehealth only at this time. I offer a relaxed and pressure free environment so you can work at your pace. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment so you can feel comfortable eventually talking about anything with me. Therapy should be tailored to what YOU need and want. I specialize in helping individuals learn to manage and control anxiety, panic, depression, and mood. I can help you learn to set and hold boundaries, have healthier relationships, and improve your self confidence. With 13 years of experience, I can offer a wide variety of treatments and tools.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed with difficult emotions, rumination or impulsive behaviors? Finding yourself engaging in the same ineffective patterns? Having difficulty healing from the past or managing a current traumatic event, loss or life adjustment? I am a strengths-based, certified EMDR therapist with over 20 years counseling experience with adults, intensive training in DBT, and influenced by IFS therapy. My style is warm, engaging, non-judgmental and down to earth. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and starting where you are, we will work together to help facilitate acceptance, healing and growth.

I create safe spaces for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, empowering them to grow on their journey to well-being. Are you feeling like you're juggling and struggling to get by, stuck in a loop without progress? You need solid support when things get tough, a place to let it all out without judgment. Whether you're feeling the pinch of not having enough money, time, or energy, you're looking for someone who gets it and can cheer you on. That's where I come in. I'm here to listen, help you figure things out, and make a plan to move forward together.

Life can be really tough sometimes, right? It could be dealing with a big argument with your spouse, losing someone you love, having a setback in school or work plans, or feeling unsafe in a relationship. When things get rough, we often tell ourselves things like, “I should be stronger,” "My voice doesn't matter," or “I can’t trust anyone.” Despite trying really hard to feel better—like reading self-help books, changing our diet, or keeping a strict exercise routine—we might still feel stuck. We might even turn to things like alcohol or other ways to escape the sadness, even though deep down we know it’s not helping.

My goal as a clinician is to help guide my clients on their own healing journeys toward self-exploration and acceptance. My practice is open to adults, adolescents, and couples. I have experience working with victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, self-esteem, addiction, personality disorders, trauma disorders, depression, and anxiety.

Moving through life is like writing a book. We are all composing our own stories. Sometimes we get stuck, due to choices, events or behaviors. It’s like a bookmark getting put in the pages of our story and when we try to move forward, the pages fall open to that bookmarked, painful memory. With the help of therapy, we can heal from that pain and take the bookmark out of the book of our life. The pages remain, but they serve to make us stronger & wiser as we fill in the empty page before us today. By learning new skills and gaining the ability to adapt, we can move forward with a sense of purpose and peace.

I am passionate about working with motivated adult clients to help achieve goals to facilitate healing and support. I want to get to know you and understand what brings you to seek therapy. Knowing your goals helps me collaborate with you on creating an effective treatment plan.

Life can be incredibly difficult sometimes. Let's work together to find practical solutions for you and relief from symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD & C-PTSD, dissociative disorders, attachment or childhood trauma, overcoming narcissistic or emotional abuse, religious trauma, non-epileptic seizures (NES), or difficulties coping with complicated grief or major life changes.

Do you struggle to understand why you sometimes respond to situations and events in ways that seem counterproductive? As human beings, for better or worse, we all experience people, environments, and events that shape our sense of self and how we interact with those around us. These experiences can lead to extreme sadness, anxiety, loss of hope, and serious struggles in relationships that interfere with feeling satisfied and living a fulfilled life. I love what I do as a therapist and feel privileged to work with people as they learn and grow toward who they hope to be.

Feeling alone, confused, scared? Sometimes life's struggles can get us down, but there is hope and freedom from past and present stresses. I want to help support you in making positive change to heal past and present challenges. I specialize in working with people of all ages, diversities, and circumstances. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, marital issues, sexuality, transgender, trauma (PTSD), divorce, behavioral issues, loss (grief), cultural identity, postpartum, or parenting, I can help you find peace. I use an eceltic approach to meet each client's needs. I look forward to helping you find peace.

Hello old friend, we may have never met, but I've seen your pain. The journey from suffering to satisfaction can be a long, uncertain, and winding road. It’s never set. But it's almost always worth it. If you’re ready, I’d like to share that journey with you. I may be able to help you find the peace and freedom that seem so tough to find. If you’re ready to explore your story with me. It’s probably much easier than you think. I can handle the neurobiology and therapeutic interventions, you bring a story and an open mind/heart.
