Somatic Therapists in Northeast Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO

I'm passionate about empowering individuals who have felt unseen, misunderstood, marginalized, and voiceless, and I love working with and empowering women in all stages of life. As a woman who has felt disempowered from past trauma and shame, I'm passionate about working with women to achieve greater self-worth and confidence and embrace their authentic self. I find joy in helping people heal from past trauma, transform limiting beliefs of shame into the truth of who they are, find meaning and purpose, and courageously tell their story.

I specialize in adults and teens with trauma with a specific focus on Complex PTSD. I also work with couples suffering from intimacy issues. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression as well. My approach to therapy is to be honest and forward while promoting this in my clients. I believe a non-judgmental environment is very important. My clients like that I am blunt and confrontational in therapy, avoiding trite therapy terms and tailoring sessions to clients' specific needs. I use many different techniques and theories in my practice, though I tend to stay myself in session to remain real and honest.

In my 10 years in the field, I have been fortunate enough to work with a variety of ages, populations and in many different settings (inpatient, in-home, in-school, outpatient, crisis response). Using both evidenced and experiential-based treatment, I utilize a person-centered approach in our work together. This basically means we’ll always work together to utilize what techniques benefit you the most in your healing.

Do you feel like life is unfulfilling? Do you feel self-doubt and inner criticism are always keeping you down? Do you have a hard time feeling confident? Do you feel like something is getting in the way of fulfilling your dreams? Do you experience conflict in your relationships? Does anxiety keep you from living the life you want? Are emotions confusing? I understand. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, our sessions are designed to foster self-awareness and encourage the growth of a healthier, more adaptive self.

How satisfied are you with your quality of life? Do you have higher aspirations for yourself? Maybe it’s been difficult for you to get traction in a particular area. Or you’ve tried to put your past behind you, but it keeps popping up and interfering in the present. Perhaps you’re tired of processing the same old stories, and learning coping skills to just get by. You may even have a mind that just won’t quit spinning negative tales, no matter how hard you’ve tried to silence it.

Don't go without support during these stressful times. It is easy to get stuck in the mundane and feel like life is stagnant, or on hold. This road can be met with many obstacles. Some we must learn to accept and some we must conquer. I help facilitate change and move you forward from past and current challenges. I assist you in gaining more self awareness, and teach you the tools needed to embrace difficult situations. The goal is to be free from worrying about the future, and replaying the past. Life transitions can cause a disruption in homeostasis. I am here to help you find balance and confidence in your decisions.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, individuals and families in creating a safe and comfortable place to work through their emotional stress while developing the skills to identify their role in the systems around them. I use a holistic, evidence based, and natural conversational approach when working with my clients to help provided them with realistic outcomes. This includes normalizing situations and providing a non-judgmental atmosphere. I work with my clients in creative ways to setup sessions to ensure their experience is individualized to fit their needs.

At some point in life, perhaps now, a personal, relational, or professional crisis can pressure you toward a crossroad where you'll find yourself in unknown and often unwelcomed territory. Such transitional times may feel unsettling and uncertain, even overwhelming; however, they can also become a turning point that leads you into a new direction. Such a turning point can present a critical opportunity to make a real change in your life, and a time when you can finally address what you've struggled to resolve on your own, and discover you no longer need to face it alone.

You will feel supported as I walk with you on your journey. I use an integrative approach to therapy to encompass all areas of mental health, including mind, body, spirit, thoughts, and environment. I understand the courage it takes to seek help, and I would appreciate the privilege to work with you!

Are you feeling generally dissatisfied in life right now? You've navigated your way through some anxiety and depression over the years but now you feel stuck...maybe a bit burnt-out. You want life to FEEL good again and you're ready for some real lasting change. You have some awareness of why you're feeling the way you are, but something doesn't quite add up. Some familiar struggles might include perfectionism, being/feeling present, anxiety, confidence, people pleasing, relationships/relationship satisfaction, comparison to others, work-life balance/dissatisfaction with work/lack of clarity about work, fatigue and motivation.

Schedule online instantly through my website link in my bio! I specialize in supporting women to find clarity, courage, and abundance through major relationship transitions. Sometimes you just need to be deeply seen and heard with compassion, acceptance, and empathy. Compassion might not feel like enough, though. Sometimes you’ll want more active help sorting through some of the burdens you’re carrying. I’ll ask questions, offer alternative ways of looking at things, point out and question some of your assumptions, and sometimes suggest resources or strategies.

Four hours of sleep, 20 minutes late to work, and five espresso shots later…you’re day has started. And it’s come with a ton of anxiety and negative thoughts. The “fun” part? It doesn’t stop there - it bleeds into your day and evening - more tense moments with the kids, drinks to cope, and struggling to just BE. And sure, if this kind of day only happened here and there, that would be doable. But when it feels like this has been your usual for way too long…it sucks. And all you want…is some goddamn relief. Just to rest, to feel settled and at ease in your own body…your own life. And you can absolutely have this.

My clients tend to be holistic in orientation. They are motivated, and seek to get unstuck then to grow personally and spiritually.

HelloI'm a therapist with specialized training in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Adult ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorder, Trauma, and PTSD. I value a creative approach to wellness that honors safety, authenticity, and honesty. I think of starting therapy like you're cleaning out a closet that you've been storing things in for years. You've been putting things in there for so long that perhaps you've forgotten what was even in there. Together we'll sort through clutter, deciding what you need, getting rid of what you don't, and building structures to organize the parts of life that need organizing.

I have a heart for people who've suffered trauma, struggled in life, and who may feel like they're broken or damaged, thinking no one understands, or worse, that nobody cares. If that’s you, I’d like to help you on a path to healing.

Are you looking for warm and accepting help to address difficult issues like chronic anxiety, depression, trauma, major health issues or adjusting to significant life changes? I practice holistic, trauma-informed care to help people feel understood and validated while providing tools to talk about and cope with areas of distress in their lives. Many of my clients have a history of trauma that has led to the development of addictions, eating disorders, distrust of others, poor self-esteem and relationship issues. I also work with people to adapt to chronic or acute health issues, terminal illness or other grief and loss issues.

I know that your pain and trauma make you feel lost and small. That the conflict relationally is exhausting. You want the hurt replaced by healing, and the feeling of being lost by knowing you have a place and are grounded. Let’s go there!
