Female Therapists in Glenwood Springs, CO

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. There are many reasons why we reach out for help: life transitions, grief & loss, trauma, relationship issues. Sometimes it's a sense that we "just feel stuck." I specialize in using EMDR, IFS, and other mind+body approaches to resolve these stuck feelings and help you find relief and meaningful healing. I take great care in creating a safe, kind, and nurturing therapeutic space to support you on this journey.

Many of us have experienced talk therapy where we discuss our problems and past. Unfortunately, sometimes this therapy hasn't included concrete ways to help us change how we manage these problems and create a life of joy. The good news is that there ARE skills and tools that every one of us can learn and integrate into our lives so that we are able to better navigate what the world throws at us! Anxiety, depression, overwhelm, perfectionism, addiction, relationship difficulties, and more can be addressed by learning how to regulate emotion, better tolerate distress, and live mindfully. Join Dr. Jill in learning these skills.

Everyone has mental health. While we all have unique ways to handle our mental well being, we don't have to face it alone. I believe in holding space for all parts that make you, you. I am committed to meeting you where you are on your journey of mental clarity and life transition(s). I welcome my clients to explore their current challenges, past experiences that might be holding them back, and future hopes. Whether you're struggling with feeling overwhelmed, experiencing overbearing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, perfectionism, and fear, you are not alone. Life improvement and self growth is attainable.

With a compassionate heart and an emotion-focused approach, I am dedicated to guiding clients through their most challenging moments towards healing and transformation. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Colorado and California, I bring over 14 years of clinical experience in outpatient mental health therapy and crisis intervention. My expertise lies in helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life stressors, and relational distress.

Will therapy help? Yes! Therapy can improve your relationships with others as well as your relationship with yourself. Together we can identify where you are stuck and how to move forward to build more meaning in your life. Evidence-based skills and strategies can help you make concrete changes in your everyday life. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief and trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. Treatment is active, practical and skills-based.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there." - Rumi. It's by looking at what is behind our emotions and choices, that leads to freedom. When we understand what drives us in unhelpful ways, we have a choice. By engaging our lives in meaningful ways through self-expression and creativity, we find our voice and authenticity. We'll unpack those unhealed places so they no longer control our actions and beliefs. Together we can help you feel seen, valued, heard, and accepted, which is so often at the heart of inner and outer conflict.

Lets talk. At some point we all have experienced uncertainty, confusion, sadness or feeling lost. A stagnant barrier limiting happiness, the ability to feel comfortable with our choices, trust in relationships, coping or overall self-control. By using a person-centered and humanistic approach with individuals and couples struggling with their emotions and mental health we can explore a journey of self -discovery. Utilizing the skills needed for personal growth, overcoming those barriers you may be facing and recognizing strengths, building upon new ones and embracing self-awareness, you can find the resiliency for a better tomorrow.

Accepting new clients July '24. Are you struggling to transition through difficult life stages that are resulting in emotional or relational challenges? A person who may be seeking a sense of reconnection to your true self or even seeking clarity in a universally complicated phase of life? Maybe you are struggling with substance use, or know someone who is, and are seeking support in making change. With a strength-based lens, I help individuals achieve their desired goals. Utilizing well-researched practices, I'm strategic in that I tailor interventions to each individual to best achieve your defined version of wellness.

I provide individual, couples and group counseling. My practice focus is to encourage personal growth & transformation. By providing non-judgmental atmosphere, clients can feel safe to embrace change and feel empowered as they step forward in their lives.

A bit about me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado with 25yrs practice based experience. My focus is on my client. I pay attention to where in their lives they are when they come to see me. It is my job to help problem solve paths forward, allow them to be heard, and provide empathy and support. I am honest, straight forward and ethical.

There are tools and help for those overcome by grief, struggling with high sensitivity, or who find themselves in a state of depression or anxiety -- empathy, insight and wisdom can provide peace and assurance.

I know that I feel my best when I’m secure in my relationships: with myself, my spouse, my children, and community. This has created a practice for me of paying attention, listening and participating in conversations that both nurture and challenge these relationships. I will create a space, through our relationship, for you to do the same. And if it is your child that is seeking that safe space my playroom invites curiosity and emotions of all sorts. It is a safe space to work through trauma; with play as the language and toys as tools, and a soft spot to land when it gets hard and scary.

I became a Licensed Professional Counselor after over 35 years as a healthcare professional. I wanted to understand the mind-body reciprocal interactions and the power of the unconscious mind. If mental and/or physical suffering has left you feeling isolated, betrayed, and exhausted you may believe there is no way out. If you feel stuck at every turn, you are in paradox. Being in paradox is an indication that you are facing a profound opportunity to become your authentic self. If you are willing to take the deep journey into you, I am not afraid. I have seen the blackest black imaginable. There is a way out.

Hello friend. I am glad you are here. I am not accepting new clients at this time. However I am happy to help refer you to a colleague! By supporting the health of our body and brain we can access the full abilities and power of our mind & being. My background in trauma psychology and biomedical sciences has led me to become a therapist who will support your physical being, sense of self, purpose in life, and your interpretation of the world, because they are all linked. My clients want to live a life that they command, to be kings and queens of their own fate, and to embody joy, ease, and grace.
