Family Systems Therapists in Golden, CO
I am an individual, couples and family counselor working in the Golden and Denver area. I love listening to people’s stories. It is through our stories that we learn about ourselves. I help clients find their own ways to make changes by looking at their beliefs that cause suffering. Since I am also trained in family systems, I look at the entire family. No one is born in a vacuum and how each of was raised influences our relationships and our views of the world. Together we will set goals and work toward them in a result-oriented therapy.

My clinical approach utilizes the modalities of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, of which I am Level I certified.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples to explore dating, relationship patterns, attachment, and trauma. I'm especially passionate in supporting the queer community. Together, we work to identify and examine recurring patterns with care and curiosity. In individual work, this can look like exploring your early experiences that informed your attachment style and connecting these patterns to the way you show up or abandon yourself today. In relationship therapy, we bring awareness to the dynamic between partners these individual experiences create to deepen connection, enhance vulnerability, and improve communication.

So many women in nursing and healthcare professions get to a point in their career where they realize how exhausted and unsatisfied they are, and wonder if they're in the right place. Maybe your strategies for managing stress stopped working, you've missed a shift because of feeling overwhelmed, made a mistake because your brain is frazzled. Or you spend so much effort recovering from your last shift and preparing for the next one, that you aren't enjoying life and relationships. It's possible to feel inspired and fulfilled in the work you do, while also having a satisfying life outside of work.

You strive for career success and want to make a big impact, but you feel overwhelmed and anxious about getting everything right. You long for love and connection with your partner but often feel lonely and frustrated even when you're together. What once worked for you no longer does, and despite putting in the same effort, you’re not seeing results. As an eager, high-performing, deeply feeling individual or couple, you seek the skills and resources to get unstuck. You want to find wholeness in yourself, feel like enough, and be seen and heard in your relationship, feeling important and validated by your significant other.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
