Sexual Abuse Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

I have worked with youth and families in a variety of settings for most of my life and in a clinical capacity for more than a decade. While I enjoy working with all ages on a variety of issues, I specialize in anxiety, behavior issues, trauma, adoptive and foster families, parenting support, parent-child relationships, identity, and life transitions (especially related to parenting, early school years, and college). I highly value collaborative relationships, as you are the best expert on yourself, and I individualize all services to meet your particular needs and goals. I am honored and humbled to join clients on their journeys.

Accepting new clients, with three decades specializing in serving adult (25+) men, women & couples toward integrative health (relational, personal, emotional & mental well-being). My clients are typically entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners & professionals. They achieve "success", yet privately struggle in other area(s) of life. ​​I assist clients in navigating uncomfortable, complicated & unexpected change, helping them focus on and improve their quality of life, while actively pursuing authenticity & purpose. It is well-known that regularly practicing curiosity, honesty & agency are keys to exploring & living a vibrant life.

My work is dedicated to helping people develop healthy and satisfying lives and relationships. Though it can be difficult to make the decision to begin psychotherapy, I have found that those who have sought my help have achieved valuable results. I offer confidential psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I have an expertise of working with clients dealing with issues of depression, anxiety and trauma, along with learning to cope with relationship issues and managing through difficult life transitions. I am committed to helping you receive the services best suited for you.

Not accepting new clients at this time. I have 20 years' experience in the mental health field providing counseling to treat depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, life transitions, personal growth, and prenatal and postpartum difficulties. We all possess an innate healing wisdom and I approach therapy as a way of empowering each client to remember and uncover who they truly are. When we remember our basic goodness we can heal past wounds and liberate ourselves to live life more fully.

I believe in a holistic approach, meaning my view of the therapeutic process is shaped by a curiosity about the whole person situated within relationships, community, and social context. Through discovering an individuals inner knowledge, their intuition, and that inner spark of existence, I believe there is value in exploring who we are as people. The goal of good psychotherapy quite simply put is to become more of who we authentically are, everyday. It is also my belief that people naturally go through phases in life of seeking and integration, and that in an ideal outcome the therapist becomes obsolete.

I view life as filled with opportunity for growth. Internal Family Systems therapy is a powerful way to grow your capacity to enjoy life and outgrow parts of yourself that protected you once but are no longer helpful. Parts caused by trauma, childhood events, life stressors or relationships. Are you an adult child of emotionally immature parents - with unmet needs you want to learn to meet? I teach skills to help you feel better quickly, and I also help you heal longer term patterns. We can clear painful memories from body, mind & spirit to create a healthy, integrated sense of self.

The journey through life as a human being is a beautiful and deeply complex road to navigate at times.

It's important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, challenge you, and consider the impact of culture and identity
