In Person Therapists in Las Animas County, CO

I believe that everyone can rise above their struggles and find healing and meaning in their life. No one should live with mental health, or relational issues alone. I believe that counseling is a partnership in which we are fellow travelers for a short time while we journey to discover how to use the resources you have, to accomplish your mental health or relational goals. My main scope of practice is in both couples and trauma therapies.

You've been through so much. Far more stress, anxiety, hurt, and betrayal than anyone should ever have to go through. Fear now lives where peace and joy should be. Yet you still have so much left to give. So much love and caring. I'm guessing you have probably heard this before: that you take care of everyone else, possibly at your own expense. Even though you have so much to give to others, it can be very difficult to feel connected to the people you love and to yourself when so much anxiety and fear is present.

We all know the signs – a heavy heart and a restless mind. Sleepless nights, joyless days, grumpiness, stress. constant crisis, overwhelming emotions. It's not working. But there's a way that works. Therapy works. You can calm those big feelings and make good choices. My clients and I work together like a basketball team moving the ball down the court. We pass the ball back and forth, sharing ideas, noticing themes, clarifying values, shaping your vision until you’re ready to take the shot. My approach is deeply collaborative and research-based. I’m strongly informed by CBT, DBT, Hypnosis, EMDR, Polyvagal and Neurodivergent Theory.

Look at birds: they make great sky circles of their freedom. How do they learn to do that? They fall, and in falling, they are given wings. -Rumi ...In the course of being human, we all face losses and traumas of different degrees and in the process, find ourselves abandoning parts of ourselves in order to survive emotionally and interpersonally. Therapy is about reclaiming those parts and finding our way home to who we truly are.

Do you ever wonder if there is more to life, are you in a life transition, maybe not quite feeling like yourself? You are not alone. It’s called being human, we all at times in our life need extra support. I believe that healing is possible for individuals who have the desire, the support, and the willingness to participate in their journey towards wellness. Life gives us all opportunities to know ourselves and grow from our experiences.
