Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Asking for support can be difficult and intimidating. It’s important to find the right fit between client and therapist. I create a therapeutic environment that is client directed and immediately focuses on the goals that you want to achieve. My agenda is YOUR agenda, and we will move at the pace you desire! I believe everyone’s life is just that… their life and no one else’s. While we often cannot control the cards we are dealt, we can learn to determine and control how we respond to them and what decisions we make with them.

With a background in working with individuals across various age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults, I bring extensive experience to our therapeutic relationship.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood and are not meant to navigate life's difficult paths alone. I believe we each have the innate capacity to heal, and I value and encourage the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, childhood abuse, trauma, grief, and PTSD. I work best with those who have the courage to want to get to know themselves at a deeper level. I support people in being curious about aspects of themselves that may have split off from the whole through rejection, trauma, overwhelming experiences, or lack of acceptance.

I enjoy helping people get along with each other - with their spouses, parents, children, friends, coworkers.

I like to help heal individuals who have been traumatized recently or in the past. My approach is love based, and focused on reducing stress and healing fears.

I also honor and integrate my patients' spiritual beliefs and values into the therapy.

You're stuck or you feel trapped. You're mind is racing and it's keeping you from getting things done. You can't sleep. You've been having trouble in your relationships, at work, or at school. You're probably thinking you just need to get it together. It's simple, right? - No, it’s not simple; and it's time you gave yourself some credit. Life is hard. You can learn the skills you need to organize your life. You can “catch” your thoughts and emotions when your brain is moving too fast. You can slow down and process things. You can find motivation when you’re overwhelmed.

I work with clients who feel stuck; stuck in the emotion and negative thoughts associated with life's stressors. Clients, who are beginning to realize that there will always be the struggle of relationships or money matters or health concerns or..., yet understand that they can begin to develop a different outlook, belief system.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

I work with clients who live with intense emotions, debilitating depression, immense anxiety, anger, trauma, or the urge to avoid feeling all together. For many this can lead to unrelenting crisis, self invalidation, being hijacked by emotions, impact relationships, and reinforce behaviors that are not in line with the life they want. I create a space to support clients with non-judgmentally looking at their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that prompt suffering and inhibit access to long term goals. I support clients with recognizing the function of these behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that prompt pain and help find resolution.

》》No current openings, please email to be notified when openings become available.《《 Have you ever been to the doctor's office and, after telling them your symptoms, they give you that "Oh, is that all?" face? Then you spend the rest of the appointment trying to convince them that you are actually ill. It's like you're put in a position where you have to justify having made the appointment in the first place. I believe therapy should be the exact opposite of this. Therapy should make people feel validated, feel heard. You deserve a place to feel understood, and I would be honored to provide this to you.

My ideal patient is someone who strives to better and empower themselves. They may struggle with anxiety and depression, or have difficulty with keeping on task and becoming easily distracted. They also may feel that they are significantly impacted by the world in which we all live and want to learn how to manage these stressors to live a more positive, active life. I also have a passion for working with those individuals who may not fit the 'norm' of society - I want to help them find their place in the world and their inner peace.

I want therapy to feel like an outlet for you and a space for you to grow. It is going to be work but should never feel like a burden. If you feel like you have lost yourself, or you have always been lost, we will work together to find the best version of you. This is your time to shine! We will focus on your strengths and look at what is working. The parts of your life that are not serving you we can explore and find solutions. We will take it a step at a time, no rush.
