Couples Counseling Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I prefer clients who are motivated and open-minded above all other qualities. I have experience working with people who have a number of varying challenges, such as trauma (all kinds), anxiety, depression, grief, family discord, communication challenges, transitions, and adjustments to significant changes. Most people have goals to feel better, to experience more joy and peace in their lives. Some have specific goals like completing a project, or test, remaining on task without anxiety, for example. Overall, anyone who seeks therapy desires help with some sort of change in their current moods, habits, or state of mind.

I feel that it's important for clients to feel warmth, sincerity and comfort when in therapy. It's my goal that my clients feel heard, respected and validated while processing disheartening experiences.

Let's face it, raising teenagers is hard. No one prepares you for the day to day emotional challenges that come with caring for your teen. I will also tell you a little secret, it's also hard being a teen. Adolescence is a time where teens are figuring out who they are, where they fit in, all while trying to balance raging hormones and the never ending pressure to be someone else. Whether you are the parent struggling to communicate better with your teen, or the teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, my hope is to provide a warm space where healing and restoration can begin.

HelloI'm a therapist with specialized training in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Adult ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorder, Trauma, and PTSD. I value a creative approach to wellness that honors safety, authenticity, and honesty. I think of starting therapy like you're cleaning out a closet that you've been storing things in for years. You've been putting things in there for so long that perhaps you've forgotten what was even in there. Together we'll sort through clutter, deciding what you need, getting rid of what you don't, and building structures to organize the parts of life that need organizing.

I believe that everyone should be empowered and confident in living the life they want to live. I treat teens and adults with histories of trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and depression. I believe in working with individuals to increase feelings of regulation and stability in day to day life while addressing historical events that contribute to stressors and day to day challenges. I believe that therapy starts with a strong foundational relationship and providing individuals from all walks of life with a safe and dignified space that is free from judgement.

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.

The cheating is no longer a secret - you both know, and it feels like nothing will ever be the same. It’s either therapy or a divorce. You feel like you’re drowning, but everybody else in your life is biased, so it’s hard to turn to them for advice. You each are feeling a roller coaster of emotions: you hate them, you love them, you’re ready to walk out the door this second, you’d do anything to save this relationship…all within five minutes. You don’t know how to make sense of all these feelings, but you need to make sure you make the right decision. You're not quite ready to give up on this relationship yet, but you need help.
