Child Therapists in Fort Collins, CO
Counseling since 2002, I have experience with adults/couples/families/teens and children dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, adoption, communication, marital issues, PTSD, grief and loss, parenting, blended families, divorce, sexuality, and adjusting to life changes.
Life can be complicated for different reasons. Sometimes more support can help. At any age, life can be overwhelming, negative behaviors can persist, relationships trapped in hurtful patterns, or inner worlds caught in negative thinking which stretch our coping, and cause stress. In all this WE WANT TO FEEL BETTER! Counseling offers a private, confidential space to get help. It is an honor to listen and join in your life story. I work with adults/couples/families/teens and children, listening to your goals to bring balance, health, wellness, peace and more happiness.

I can help your child better understand and manage his/her inner experiences in the stabilization phase, while teaching parents specialized parenting techniques that reduce and build mutual trust throughout all phases of treatment.
Do you feel as though you are parenting several children in one? Do you have an adoptive child that is struggling? Does your child: deny remembering specific events, vary in his/her abilities, rapidly change moods, steal, hoard food, lack social skills, show physical/verbal aggression, react disproportionately to specific situations? Are you confused by your child's behavior and frustrated that your current parenting skills/techniques are not effective? Are your child's teachers reporting inappropriate or disruptive behaviors at school? Would you like to gain hope, learn new skills, and see more of who your child really is?

When working with children and adolescents, I often incorporate arts and play into the session.
I counsel individuals from all age groups. I have a client-centered eclectic counseling style focused on self-empowerment, healing, and growth. I acknowledge each person has individual experiences and needs; therefore, no therapy tool works for all clients. My experience, education, and empathy allow me to accept clients where they are and meet their unique needs. I strive to cultivate connection, non-judgment, and open-mindedness with each client I meet. When appropriate I may share related wisdom and experience; it's important to me that you know you're not alone on your journey.
