Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Peyton, CO

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step in caring for YOU! I am here to support you while also challenging you to learn and grow. Are you trying to figure out who you are or where you’re headed? Or maybe figuring out what your strengths or values are, or who you are supposed to be? I am passionate about helping my clients learn the things we are never truly taught in order to become a better you and work through your life experiences. My goal is to help you learn to communicate your needs, identify your boundaries, learn positive coping skills and help you understand why (or what) you are feeling.

Warm greetings! I am a LCSW and earned my Masters degree at Augsburg College of MN. I have been providing individual and group therapy for over 5 years in a variety of settings which includes; psych-hospitals, Medical hospitals, crisis residential, and currently a private prison. I offer a free 20 minutes phone consultation through my private practice at My Recovery LLC.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* When things get rough with your child it doesn't just impact the child it can have an impact on the entire family system. I can help you, your child and family cope with behavioral or emotional difficulties and build skills that translate in many different areas of life. School and work can put a lot of stress on us and I work to help the client regulate their emotions and use appropriate coping skills. Family dynamics are a huge area of our life and can cause strife. Utilizing Systems theory I work to address the areas affecting the client negatively and help them learn ways to deal with these stressors.

The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.

Life can be very painful, and there are times in life when we need a safe place where we can just "be" and sort things out in a warm, accepting, and safe environment. To have someone to walk beside us and help us sort through life, learn new coping skills, and better handle the multitude of stresses and challenges that life presents. Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. I am here for that purpose, to help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you, and how to do it successfully.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling from anxiety, depression, and/or the effects of past trauma. I work best with clients who are open to accepting their own responsibility to change, and are ready to recover control of their own life from the things which have held them back from how they want to live. I have a special passion and training to work with those who have undergone spiritual abuse/trauma, which is any harmful use of power and control experienced within a faith tradition. If you're recovering from this, or just want to sort out what you believe and why without judgment, I would love to help!

We seek to help individuals, couples and families grow stronger and closer, resolve conflict, improve communication, enhance their mood, overcome abuse, and heal from trauma or loss. We work from a dynamic, holistic, experiential, and cognitive perspective to serve the whole person, as well as their relationships. We unconditionally love and accept every person and help them grow in mutual love and respect of both themselves and their loves ones.

Are you feeling anxious, disconnected, or triggered by life experiences? Anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma can leave you feeling alone when you are trying to weather the storm. Despite this, you know you’re ready to improve your well-being, engage in therapy, and start finding the connection you seek. Connect with me to feel more confident in navigating life’s stressors, anxieties, and your relationships. I offer in-person session in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Virtual sessions area available throughout Colorado and Washington State!

Life can get so hard and messy sometimes! You do not have to walk through it alone. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, lack of focus, addictive behaviors, and anything in between, there is hope and a path forward.

However, my practice is open to anyone seeking support, and my commitment to their well-being remains unwavering.
