Therapists in Highlands Ranch, CO

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life throws challenges our way that seem like they're more than we can handle. A broken relationship, a past life decision, mistakes we make, or hurt at the hands of others can leave us wondering how to respond. We all have experiences in our past or present where we need help. The gift of counseling can allow you to process through your thoughts, feelings, and reactions in a safe and healthy way.

Apart from SUD issues, I also support parents navigating a variety of life transitions and conflicts with their teen children, individuals with difficulty managing moods (depression, anxiety, anger, etc.), teen and young adult identity development, and families/individuals dealing with grief and loss.

Are you talking about starting a family, your life with a baby, toddler or small children? Whether planned now or later, the reality of becoming and being parents is life changing. Have the two of you shared your expectations and visions of family life? Do you know when you will be ready, who will do what, and how this fits with your personal needs and goals? Parenting is emotionally rewarding and demanding, and requires team work. How are you doing with each other, understanding differences in your experiences and needs? This is an opportunity to strengthen your loving relationship.

In the story books they lived happily ever after; in real life it isn't quite that simple. Intimate relationships are important in our lives, yet as the current rates of infidelity and divorce show, they are far from easy.

I have 25 years of experience counseling individuals and couples in the areas of sexuality and relationships. I listen, mediate, and assist you in finding a solution that is best for you. I am now providing online-therapy. Please contact me with any questions.

Sometimes you feel like no one gets it; no one knows what it feels like to always feel on edge and constantly aware of your surroundings, with your mind always racing. But you know it all too well.

You have such a hard time letting yourself trust other people because you've been hurt so many times, but that's left you feeling alone and scared.
