Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Louisville, CO

I welcome you to a safe and nurturing space to embark on your therapeutic journey at your own pace. With a profound passion for facilitating transformative healing and mental health, I collaborate with clients to identify and move through the unique challenges that prohibit them from living their fullest, most authentic lives. I firmly believe healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. With a diverse skill set, and wide array of therapeutic modalities, sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client who walks through my door.

I specialize in working with individuals who have suffered traumatic childhoods (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, neglect, domestic violence) or traumatic experiences in adulthood and are in need of trauma-informed therapy. Symptoms include difficulty trusting others, feeling terminally alone, experiencing overwhelming emotions, a fear of abandonment or engulfment, experiencing flashbacks, feeling worried and anxious about bad things happening, struggling with body dysmorphia or disordered eating, engaging in self-harm, substance abuse issues, feelings of persistent hopelessness, suicidality, or feelings of unworthiness.

I will be out of office between 9/4-9/10. Accepting new clients upon my return! Ready to move from surviving to thriving? Want to feel more empowered in your relationships? Need support with a transition or coping with stress and anxiety? Let's co-create a space to do exactly that. A space where you can be seen, heard and compassionately challenged. Where all parts of your identity, experiences and background can be acknowledged. And where you can cultivate the tools to better handle life's challenges with an ally for the journey. If you're ready to begin this path, don't do it alone.

Life is difficult and, yes there is hope. Perhaps you have tried different approaches to find what you're looking for and yet nothing seems to have helped fill in that "gap" or that something that missing in your heart. I invite you to follow that thread; what in your heart that feels stuck? Consider even what comes up for you as I ask you that question? That internal struggle is good, it shows you're asking good questions and that you deep down know there's something more to be found.

I love working with people of all ages, particularly those in their earlier and later years. I have experience in supporting parents and children in connection and communication, and working with individuals who have gone through traumas such as abuse, incarceration, homelessness, estrangement, illness, and death. I'm especially interested in working with Medicaid clients.

Do you find yourself struggling despite working hard to build the life you want? Excel in some areas of your life while you feel lost in others?

I believe therapy can be a productive, yet healing process.

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! I am currently accepting tele-health clients 21+. I've been licensed as a marriage and family therapist since 2002 and in Colorado with 5 years of professional work. I have a master's degree in counseling. Everyone, at some point needs a helping hand, and I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you! Like many of us I have had to create new meaning out of the relationships and challenges of my childhood.

I work with teens 11 and older, as well as individuals, couples, and families, including co-parenting counseling. If your issues are relationship oriented (parent/child, between partners, co-parents, or family related issues), related to phase of life transitions or changes, such as marital crisis, separation, divorce, marriage, remarriage, blending a family, empty nest, co parenting challenges, retirement, and you're looking for a goal-oriented approach to figuring out a pathway through, I can help. We will pinpoint the issues, set goals, get a plan in place, and work together toward positive change.

Are you stressed or unsatisfied and ready to make a change in your life? Are you struggling in your relationships? Perhaps feeling lost and overwhelmed after having a baby? If so, I can help!

This is YOUR therapy- I hope that you feel empowered to look around and find a therapist who feels like the right fit. Please don't hesitate to reach out- we all need support during this difficult time.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to heal and reconnect. Therapy can be an intimidating journey and as a therapist I strive to create an environment for my clients that feels caring and supportive, welcoming all emotions and experiences into the space. I work with my clients to better themselves at the pace they feel ready to work at while establishing trust and compassion. In my counseling work I offer client centered approaches, tailoring to each clients individual needs while building a therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about holding space for trauma and specialize in working with teens and young adults.

Life transitions and challenges offer us an opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, and increased confidence and personal gratification. Therapy is a transformative process to create positive momentum during shifts in our lives. For 20 years, I have helped individuals and couples face life challenges and successfully navigate life transitions. Though each person's path is unique, our shared goal is consistent: to move you closer to the life you want to lead. Working together we will: alleviate the immediate emotional distress, cultivate a greater sense of meaning, and increase your well-being, health, and prosperity.

When is enough enough? Life is a constant process of managing work, family, friendships, partnerships, parenting, a household; the list never ends. Every year you might think it's going to be better, less stress, more fun; and then it's back to the same draining routines. If you feel tired of wishing things in your life were different and finding yourself stuck in patterns and relationships that don't feel good, something has to change. Starting now might feel like too much, but, we know that perfect time isn't coming any time soon. All or something is always better than all or nothing.

Have you ever desired change but felt stuck in a personal situation, experienced difficulty in a relationship, or struggled with maintaining the motivation to change behaviors over time? Almost all of us have experienced these feelings at one time or another and it is my belief that therapy can be a positive resource to generate change, growth, and forward movement in your life. We are all greatly impacted by the various relationships we have with those in our lives, and with our own experiences thus far. Therapy can offer the insight and tools to navigate the complexities of those relationships and improve your overall wellbeing.

Do you struggle with motivation, decision-making, shame/guilt or direction? Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Do you struggle with substance abuse? Are you going through transition and struggling to find your own genuine direction? Are you nervous to ask for help? Are you concerned therapy won't be effective? Beginning treatment is a big decision and finding an effective and compassionate therapist that can ease your transition into therapy is very important. I have a warm, genuine and direct approach and believe you will find our work together will be deeply effective and the results positive and lasting.

Ever woken up and wondered "How did I get here?" Or, maybe something more along the lines of "Here I am, AGAIN-when will I learn?" Maybe you feel stuck and confused-you've done all the right things, accomplished what you've set your mind to, and still find yourself wondering if this is really 'it'-and why that job, relationship, money, or any other 'thing' hasn't been able to fill the ever-growing hole you find yourself tip-toeing around deep down inside yourself. If you are feeling disconnected from your life, your relationships, and your self, it can feel outright impossible to truly heal and grow.
