Relationship Issues Therapists in Manitou Springs, CO

The relationship between client and therapist is essential to successful therapy. I seek to establish an empathetic, trusting relationship with clients, which provides the context for a deeper understanding of oneself and the difficulties bringing them to therapy. From this relational foundation, I work collaboratively with clients to find solutions to their problems.

My primary interest is to be a catalyst for positive change in your life and to help you work through the individual challenges that keep you from experiencing the kind of life you desire & deserve. Empowering you to work toward the dreams and goals that are important to you is my intention. I have experience and training in working with addictions, depression, anxiety, men's issues, trauma, and helping individuals build relationship skills and enhancing their self-esteem. Whenever possible, I like to help you early-on to assist you in establishing your vision for the future, then we will work together in making that a reality.

A recent client told me “It's so validating and refreshing to be able to do therapy in a way that actually works for me after spending so many years in cognitive behavioral modalities that did very little for my trauma.” So many clients share the feeling of “undoing aloneness” in our sessions. This undoing of aloneness has helped clients reconcile and unburden themselves of trauma as well as feel thankful for being able to learn how to listen to their heart and their heart’s certainty of their worthiness. Our relationship has helped them to create a healing and grounding relationship with themselves...listening to their hearts.

Hi, if you are someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or controlled by your own emotions or behavioral reactions, or perhaps trapped within the confines of meaning you've internalized about yourself, others and this world, I want to help you. I am a clinical psychologist who loves working with people from all walks of life. I embrace diversity and welcome anyone, regardless of race, spirituality or sexual/gender identity. I hope to create a genuine therapeutic relationship within which we can begin the process of deep healing where all parts of you (no matter how hidden) feel welcome and free to have a voice, exist & be witnessed.

My passion is to come along side individuals, couples and families to walk the journey of healing, change, recovery, and be present with and actively listen to them in the moment. I truly believe that each one of us has everything we need within us to make desired change. I do realize from my own journey that life can have many twists and turns, obstacles, hurtles and unexpected difficulties. My goal is to make an environment for you to feel comfortable and safe; enabling you to be willing to try to seek support.

Life’s emotional journey does not always offer us a clear path to follow. As we search for improved well-being, sometimes it helps to recognize that we can enact change in our lives. And as we begin to choose our own way, we learn that we can manage stressors and reduce suffering. With gentleness and compassion, we will co-construct an affirming, inclusive, and accepting therapeutic relationship. I strive to find shared lived experience to promote and sustain meaningful advances in your life.

Waitlist until September- My goal as a therapist is to create a unique approach for you by addressing your specific needs. I mainly work from a person-centered, somatic, and attachment-focused orientation. I believe our essence is deeply rooted in meaningful connections – both with others and, just as importantly, with ourselves. Drawing on this belief,

I am a licensed professional counselor with a masters in counseling psychology. I have been working with individuals of all ages for over 25 years.

My work is grounded in the belief that the human spirit has the innate ability to heal if offered compassion, empathy, and support. Creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable is of utmost importance to me. Building trust and establishing rapport will be done over time, through intentional question-asking and validation. I use a multi-modal approach and pull from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques in my work with clients. Utilizing EMDR to reprocess negative thoughts about self into positive thoughts is a powerful intervention I love using with clients.

I love helping clients reach their goals and overcome traumas that have kept them from reaching their dreams and potential. In private practice since 1991, I specialize in working with young children, adolescents and adults using a strengths-based approach to resolve issues such as trauma, anxiety, attachment, grief, depression, ADHD, life transitions, challenging childhood behaviors, school and learning issues, and family discord, including individuals exposed to past or current addictive family members and/or domestic violence. The foundation of my work with each client is building a safe, trusting and respectful relationship.

Welcome! The human experience is complex and ever-changing. Sometimes we feel confident and connected, and other times we are overwhelmed, stuck, and unable to show up as our embodied and authentic selves. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to confront the things that are holding you back. If you are reading this, you’ve already taken the first step. Your emotions might overwhelm you or you feel like you're on autopilot, just going through the motions. You want to increase your confidence and ability to express yourself authentically. You crave connection but might not know how to create the relationships you want.

Everyone seeks out counseling for different reasons. Perhaps they have anxiety, an addiction, or problems in an intimate relationship. Some folks are looking for assistance as they learn what effective communication and healthy boundaries look like. Others have a desire to heal deep emotional wounds from the past and learn how to let go. Everyone has a different story; whether we're processing or problem-solving, I'm in your corner.

My role is to create a safe enough environment for you to be your authentic self, first in therapy and then showing up authentically with those around you. Because no person is an island and most interact with others everyday, therapy can help you transition out of social awkwardness and isolation into enriched and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I have been promoting mental health professionally since 1998. I value ethical conduct, accessible pricing, effective interventions, and practical methods in psychotherapy practice. Please only email or call me but do not go to my website and book an appointment!

By providing a caring, compassionate, and free space to express past traumas, disruptive thought patterns, and confusing life circumstances, I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client. Through counseling, clients can begin to experience the power behind their own convictions and step into a position of power over their own internal landscape. I believe in dismantling oppressive systems and harmful patterns within individual's lives through meaningful and powerful therapeutic intervention.

In this age of narcissism and self-discovery, many are feeling isolated and alienated from others, causing us to reassess our relationships and personal choices. Many are disillusioned, anxious and depressed due to unwanted life experiences that threaten our sense of security and block our path to happiness. Understandably, many seek a trusted space to identify their concerns, explore circumstances in the context of personal feeling and values, and create an authentic pathway forward that's aligned with one's aspirations. If this description of distress and desire for change resonates with you, please consider my helping hand.

Do you have stress and anxiety related to a pending divorce, infidelity, pornography addiction, drugs/alcohol, or violence? Often these "adult" issues become problematic in households where children are involved. Are your children caught in the middle? Poor grades and oppositional/defiant behaviors can result from differing parenting styles or other conflicts between adults in the home. I understand the difficulty of seeking help in situations where feelings of embarrassment, guilt, anger, fear, or shame are involved, and assist my clients in resolving them.
