Are you finding it challenging to feel grounded, motivated, or connected in your relationships and daily life? Are you and your partner facing the complexities of intimacy, struggling with communication, or longing for a deeper connection?
Many people experience feelings of loneliness or anxiety, depression, overly stressed, and burnout, especially when navigating emotional hurdles that would include challenges with self-esteem, teen-related concerns, related to women’s health, being first responders or veterans and their roles can be particularly intense, making it difficult to find balance amidst the pressures of daily life, or if you’ve endured domestic violence, trauma, or transgenerational emotional wounds, it’s crucial to work towards healing to explore yourself fully and authentically.
As a dedicated specialist, I have devoted countless hours to understanding the intricacies of relational dynamics and emotional healing. My journey, enriched by personal experiences and extensive training, equips me to provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment. My goal is to foster a warm space where couples, teens, individuals, and parents or co-parents can freely explore their feelings and experiences without fear of judgment.
My focus on personal healing empowers you to confront your obstacles with confidence and clarity. I understand firsthand the challenges of many life experiences that felt hopeless or have caused me to seek support and I have seen the transformative power of healing through my own experiences. These experiences include Having served as a first responder, I empathize with the intense pressures and emotional burdens that accompany that role. As a mother of a toddler with Autism and two teenage girls, I am acutely aware of the dynamics and pressures of raising adolescents, as they navigate their own challenges within a complex world. I have a deep understanding of the lasting effects of trauma, not just on individuals but on entire communities, driving my passion to support those who serve.
In today’s fast-paced and often overwhelming environment, many adults and teens struggle with feelings of isolation regarding their emotional and mental health. My aim is to build a genuine therapeutic alliance—a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Together, we can explore effective strategies and skills in a nurturing environment that promotes meaningful growth and healing through experiential learning. You deserve support and understanding, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
My approach: A Safe Place to Explore
I am dedicated to enhancing individuals’ overall well-being through an experiential, collaborative, and personalized therapeutic experience that appreciates each person’s unique life journey. In our work together, we will focus on identifying and addressing specific challenges that you may encounter. I strive to meet my clients where they are and to offer a breadth of knowledge that empowers you to trust the process as we work toward your goals, utilizing insights and skills in real time.
Together, we will establish meaningful and achievable goals that promote personal growth and healing. Our therapy sessions will take place in a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, allowing you to feel safe and open as we delve into your thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic approach is not merely about overcoming obstacles; it’s a transformative journey that emphasizes discovering and harnessing your strengths. For couples, we will explore how to slow down, understand relational cycles, and cultivate intimacy, skills, and tangible results. As you and your partner navigate your inner worlds, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourselves, valuable insights, and the ability to create lasting connections. This process aims to boost self-confidence and deepen insights into personal relationships, equipping you with the necessary tools for sustainable wellness and emotional stability.
With a rich background in mental health therapy, I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I hold certifications as a Trauma Therapist and a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, demonstrating my commitment to specialized training and evidence-based treatment methods. I draw from various approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), known for its effectiveness in addressing trauma and PTSD, as well as Internal Family Systems, which helps individuals understand and integrate different parts of themselves. Additionally, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, focusing on strengthening emotional bonds and improving communication. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive personalized support tailored to your specific needs, fostering lasting personal growth and enhanced well-being. Through our work together, you can expect to embark on a constructive journey toward achieving your therapeutic goals. As well as many other specialties.
My Life Outside Of Work
I love diving into personal growth and lifelong learning—it’s a journey I cherish and one that helps me empower others along the way. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my loved ones, whether we’re trying new foods or exploring exciting new places together. My passion for travel allows me to connect with different cultures, which enriches my perspective as a therapist. I also find joy and tranquility in nature, practicing yoga, running, and meditating to keep my life balanced. Giving back to the community is important to me, too; I advocate for mental health awareness and support for those in need. I’m proud to have received the Value of Life Award in Colorado for my efforts!
