Are you repeating patterns in your relationships? Do you feel like you have tried everything, but no matter what you do, it always ends up the same? Everything starts excellent initially, but things deteriorate over time. It may seem like a constant cycle of stability and fighting. Nothing gets resolved, making conflict the only form of communication. Let me help you find the tools and awareness you need to create space for healthy relationships.

There is this feeling that something is wrong with you, but you can’t put a finger on it. Life feels overwhelming. Maintaining relationships at any cost is emotionally tiring. Burned out is an excellent description of how you feel. You might even frequently daydream about dropping everything and disappearing. We can only truly love others to the extent we love and care for ourselves. I want to help you restore balance to your life and relationships.

You may find yourself constantly thinking about the past while at the same time trying to avoid things that remind you of that traumatic event. The same patterns keep repeating, and you can’t seem to stop destructive behaviors. In our sessions, we will work to build a trusting relationship. I want to learn about you, your life, and your relationships. Your pain does not define you! Clients are amazed at the transformation that occurs inside themselves.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a dynamic approach to psychological health, teaching you to embrace your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT integrates mindfulness strategies, helping you live fully in the present, understand what you truly value, and commit to actions that enrich your life. It's about accepting life's challenges while committing to making changes that lead to a more fulfilling life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a revolutionary path to healing, recognizing the multiplicity of the mind. By identifying and understanding your internal "parts," IFS facilitates profound self-awareness and harmony within. It empowers individuals to embrace their inner family with compassion, leading to transformative self-healing. IFS is not just therapy; it's a journey towards unburdening your parts and restoring your Self to its rightful leadership role.

Cognitive Processing Therapy is a transformative approach designed to help individuals overcome the symptoms of PTSD and related conditions. This therapy delves into the way traumatic events are cognitively processed, aiming to reframe and challenge unhelpful beliefs about the trauma and its aftermath. Through a structured program, CPT empowers individuals to rebuild their narratives, reclaim control over their lives.

My career in healing those suffering from trauma began with working with combat veterans. Some of those veterans held on to emotional pain for over 50 years. Now, I am a leading trauma expert in Colorado. Our work will take time, but healing from trauma is possible. In our sessions, we will work to build a trusting relationship. Your pain does not define you!

Problems happen in relationships when we over-promise and underdeliver. The answer to healthier relationships is surprisingly simple. Learning new skills can help, but the heart of the issue is authenticity and a connection with yourself. When we stop expecting others to change for us and fully accept all the parts of ourselves, we allow for deeper intimacy and connection with others.

There are no shortcuts to healing from trauma. I know this because I have been there and tried almost every approach to overcoming trauma. From personal experience, I know what works and where the dead ends are. Protecting ourselves from the pain of the past only leads to more damage and dysfunction. I have helped hundreds of people let go, and I want to be the person to help you as well.
