Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Superior, CO

Hello! I'm a compassionate counselor with a heart for helping individuals navigate the complexities of life. My practice is built on the foundation of creating a safe, non-judgmental space where teens and adults can openly explore their thoughts and feelings. With a rich background in various therapeutic modalities, I bring a versatile skill set to my sessions.

Does your pain feel like it is continually affecting your present? Does your past impede your joy in your relationships, career, hobbies, and goals? Do you feel ready to find freedom from the things that are weighing you down? If you feel like any of the questions above resonate for you, it is time to find healing. Experiencing pain in life is inevitable – being stuck in pain is not. Working through the root causes of your current struggles will allow you to experience joy and peace to a greater capacity. I am committed to partnering with clients to help them do just that.

There should always be hope, and you shouldn’t have to suffer alone! No matter what you are facing, I believe that together we can find solutions and hope again! We all face difficulty, but it is important to remember that the way you feel is only temporary! It is only a matter of time before the sun eventually comes out after a storm. While life can be challenging at times, having a skilled professional can help you to manage whatever difficulties you are going through. It’s my job to “walk along-side you” in a non-judgmental manner and offer you the support, encouragement, and the concrete solutions you are seeking.

It's time to make a lasting change, to get real and heal. Your life is too important. I help individuals unravel the complex stories of their lives. Life is full of twists and turns that pull us from our center, creating overwhelm and distress. Limiting beliefs picked up from childhood color our responses to loved ones and ourselves. We engage in behaviors that are disconnected from the person we really want to be. This feels awful.

Are you ready to transform whatever is coming between you and your ability to embody your truth? Maybe your life looks good from the outside; however, on the inside you might be feeling: disconnected, anxious, depressed, numb or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have been on a healing journey for some time and now realize that you need some support from an expert. I will help you identify and maximize your inner strengths and this will be the foundation for your healing. Let's work together to identify and move beyond whatever limits are holding you back!

Licensed in OR, CO, WA. Are your symptoms preventing you from engaging in or enjoying activities you once used to? I work with people who battle anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex childhood trauma, addiction, suicidal thoughts and more. Counseling with me will be a warm, authentic and safe experience where together, we can gently process the thoughts, fears and doubts that keep you feeling stuck and perhaps miserable. Therapy may involve helping you develop increased awareness, exploring thought processes, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as learning new skills to manage your symptoms and relationships.

Being a teen can be difficult and confusing and it is important to have a place that is their own as they navigate their individuation process and separate from their caregivers. Providing a space for preteen/teens to explore and feel supported and heard is a passion of mine. While my focus is with adolescents ages 13+, I also work with adults struggling with relationship issues, trauma, addiction, and emotional overwhelm such as depression and anxiety.

Who are you, actually? Our sense of self is shaped by surviving our parents, social groups, and the cultures we grow up in. Is that really you? Old, unconscious reactive patterns can stop you from living the life you would like, and so can relationship injuries and stress. You CAN change and rebuild yourself in new ways, with focused time and effort! I use multiple approaches in my work. We'll focus on what you're doing right, as well as barriers or problems. I encourage awareness, mindfulness and somatic/ body based approaches along with changing unhelpful thought patterns, and clarifying your values to help direct your goals.

I am a straightforward, no-nonsense therapist who focuses on YOUR issues and gets you results! Are you exhausted from not being heard in your relationship? Do you and your partner fight instead of communicating? Perhaps you are wondering if you have a problem with alcohol or drugs. Or maybe you’re feeling depressed, anxious, or just wanting to make a change in your life. I help clients find their way through such problems and guide them with individualized solutions; every client is different. I try to make counseling a fun and engaging process so that you’ll WANT to come to therapy, not dread it!

Welcome, are you seeking solace from the shadows of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or relationship strife. My clients have a desire for a sanctuary—a place where their vulnerabilities find solace and their stories can be heard. With a background as a social worker, I employ a client-centered approach, recognizing the inherent strengths and wisdom within each individual. I work collaboratively to help you tap into these resources to find healing. With a genuine belief in the capacity for change, I work to empower my clients to engage with their inner strengths, fostering a sense of agency and confidence in their journey.

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.

As an expert in personal growth and healing, I am passionate about helping people uncover their hidden inner genius. I believe our psyche leaves clues about our purpose and path, as well as the markers of our trauma and healing needs, throughout the "treasure map" of our bodies. Following these clues, we can remember, deepen, and live our unique life journeys. Therapy is a collaborative process that combines self-knowledge, expanding awareness, and increased self-understanding with my training and abilities as an external guide. This partnership empowers you to achieve your goals, experience personal growth, and facilitate healing.
