Find a Therapist in Applewood, Colorado.

Individual psychotherapy is a human encounter between two real people. In this encounter I need to be an accessible and honest participant. I see my clients as fellow travelors on the road to mental health and fullfilling relationships. Since I began my journey 50 years ago I may be farther along and I may have accumulated certain wisdom on the way. I take it as my job to tell you about any self-defeating behaviors I see you using and to give you ideas about what healthy alternative behaviors might be. Therapy is a joint endeavor designed to support youo in ejecting behaviors that keep you stuck and mastering new behaviors that increase your chances of deepening intimacy.

Collaboration is key with my clients. My style could be described as relaxed, directive, with a side of humor. My top priority is that you feel heard, seen, and supported in your healing process. My therapeutic modalities include: ACT-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Mindfulness Practices

I don’t do “sit-and-nod” therapy. My style is active, relational, and grounded in neuroscience and somatic awareness. I uncover how your mind and body learned to adapt to pain and help those patterns release their grip. Therapy with me is an exploration of your story; not just what happened, but how your mind and body learned to carry it. Using mindfulness, somatic awareness, and relational depth, I trace patterns that once protected you but now limit you. This is an active, collaborative process where insight meets embodiment, and where real change feels lived rather than intellectualized.

As a psychotherapist, you listen and notice body movements and the feelings your client is focusing on. You explore what would happen if you let go of the old ways and created new ways, that helped your client find strength, self esteem and a sense of taking control over how he/she wants his/her life to be. You go for a walk and talk, exploring options. You build trust, being present , validating their feelings. Letting them know you are there for them. Positive change is possible....

Therapy can be a vulnerable, hard, scary, challenging, yet also empowering, healing, enriching, and fulfilling through the transformation process. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for each of my client's, no matter what we may face in our therapeutic journey together. It is also very important to provide an individualized process that meets the needs of each specific client and what you are hoping to achieve in therapy.

My therapeutic approaches are individualized and depend upon your personal needs or wishes. We create your treatment process together and adapt it to changing circumstances or developments. My background is in mindfulness techniques and other modalities. The definition of health and well being is something that you determine and your goals will be our primary focus.

In psychotherapy, I take a narrative approach that invites you to re-author the stories shaping your life. Together, we’ll explore the dominant narratives that may be limiting your sense of possibility and well-being. Rather than viewing challenges as fixed, we consider them in context, recognizing how your unique values, skills, and relationships can reshape your experiences. This process empowers you to identify and cultivate alternative narratives aligned with who you prefer to be, fostering a sense of agency, meaning, and renewed direction in your life.

I work from an attachment based perspective and hold the beliefs that we are products of our upbringing and relationships. I believe we are shaped through our experiences and this plays a vital role in how we operate in relationships in the present as well as the vision we hold for our future. Each person is unique in their story and their personality and experience combine provides a unique formation of their present. I work within the context of animal-assisted psychotherapy to work with attachment, bonding, and acceptance and love.

The foundation of my approach is systemic, which means I emphasize assessment of how you are impacted by the world as well as how you impact the world. Often clients underestimate the gravity of one or both of these areas despite their importances. In understanding how we are impacted by the world around us, we come to understand that we are not quite as unique or "crazy" as we imagined, and we begin to realize that the vast majority of our responses are quite normal, even if no longer effective. In addition, by understanding our impact on the world around us, we begin to realize that we might have more influence over situations than we think, if we open ourselves to different ways of being

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

My psychotherapy methodology is cognitive-behavioral. This means that as your therapist, if needed, I will help you to see any negative thinking patterns that may have developed in your life. Then together we will work on changing any behavioral or thinking patterns so that you can deal with life issues more effectively. This can be especially helpful if you are struggling with anxiety or depression. I provide convenient office hours Monday through Thursday and Saturdays; located near Hampden and Wadsworth.
