Alcohol Use Therapists in Greenwood Village, CO

As of April 2024, my practice is open to accepting new clients. Life is sometimes stressful, confusing, and painful, presenting us with unique challenges to overcome. I help clients with clinical and practical interventions to work on goals such as regaining confidence, getting unstuck, improving daily functioning, stopping drinking, and improving relationships. According to Jon Kabat -Zinn, a mindfulness-based stress expert, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." I believe in embracing and practicing acceptance of pain, which can lead to a decrease in human suffering.

Hi and welcome. I would like to offer you improved insight, awareness, support, and coping strategies to suit your needs. I provide a strengths-based client-focused approach for a variety of mental health and addiction issues. I have worked in the mental health and addiction field for 9 years. I believe each person has unique strengths, and I've seen firsthand how people can make positive change utilizing them. My approach is supportive and direct, and I like to challenge you to be your best self.

Maybe you’re saying, “I can’t do this anymore!” And you mean it. Can’t pretend life is okay. Can’t sleep at night. Can’t fight that awful feeling. Whatever you’re facing, I want you to have a plan for how you will get through this season and move forward. I provide a safe place for your story to be heard and understood, so you can gain perspective and learn from it. As with woodworking or planting a garden, the choice to engage in counseling stirs up dust and dirt. But it’s for the sake of creating a life that is meaningful and fruitful. Often, it’s not easy, but it is rewarding. And you don’t have to struggle alone.

I see therapy as a partnership; you are the expert on your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences, and I am the guide who helps reframe and challenge certain lenses you might be using to view a situation or part of yourself. One of my primary specialties is working with those who are struggling with their use of substances. Another area of passion for me is assisting those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or who are having difficulty moving on from a past event. A third focus in my practice is working with the experiences of those in the LGBTQ+ community.

My ideal client is someone who wants to find higher ground in their life, regardless of the darkness or peril that might include. I am 'gangster of the light' and unafraid to walk with persons who can't find anyone else with the courage and experience I bring to the table. Persons without extreme darkness or peril are also welcome in my practice.

Counseling is all about learning new skills for relationship and managing emotions at work, home and in the community while allowing me to coach in the process! Individuals open to working within a family setting to change behaviors, long-standing relationship patterns or addictive behaviors are favorites with me.

We all have a story to tell. In my 20+ years of counseling individuals and couples, I’ve had the honor of hearing many stories that exhibit the strength of individuals healing from grief, injustice, trauma and chronic illness. I’ve been inspired by the resiliency of the human spirit and the hopefulness that inevitably develops as the narrative of one’s life unfolds. It can be a painful process but one that yields great rewards as we gain understanding of what our story has to tell us about our past and helps us to plan for our future.

Are you feeling frustrated because you are stuck in the same patterns? Have you spent years trying to figure out why you do what you do but still struggle trying to make changes? There are ways to break away from these patterns and gain new understanding. Or are you feeling trapped in an addictive lifestyle with unhealthy patterns that you continue to repeat over and over again. This often leads to ‘beating yourself up’ every time the substance wins over your desire to say no.

One of the most universal human experiences is the desire to feel understood and valued. When we don’t feel understood, we become disconnected from our friends, family, and even ourselves. While suffering is part of the human condition, suffering in silence often leads to difficulties with our loved ones, and personal growth, complicated relationships with food, alcohol/drugs, and our own bodies. My hope in our work together is that your healing empowers you to create a life that is authentically aligned with your values.

The human experience can be a complicated journey of great joys and challenges. It is not uncommon for us to feel lost or unsettled during highs and lows. My great passion is to bring a healing perspective to your unique experience. For more than a decade, I have worked with an array of psychological issues. Some of my experience surrounds issues with relationships, work-life balance, anxiety, depression and alcohol/drugs. My clients are from all walks of life, seeking healthy perceptions of themselves or support to work through tough situations.

True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I work from a strength-based, solution-focused, and systemic or relational orientation, all are evidence-based approaches. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties. I also practice child-centered play therapy and provide personality, relationship (couple) and career assessments. I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest. I look forward to consulting with you!

I am advanced trained in: PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Counseling) EMDR, ACT, DBT, The Gottman Method and Attachment Theory.

People often seek therapy to find guidance in obtaining relief from a variety of life's challenges. As your therapist, I can help guide you in finding the clarity that you desire from difficult life events and empower you in being successful with your goals. I tailor my therapeutic approach to use your strengths and work collaboratively to reach your goals, as well as challenge you to explore alternative ways of doing and thinking.

Do you feel helpless, overwhelmed and has little hope for the future? Do you have more than one clinical issue, e.g. depression, anxiety, substance and/or drug abuse, relationship issues and hearing voices? Have you experienced physical, emotional and sexual trauma and is struggling with relationships? If your answer is YES, you fit the profile of my ideal client. I will endeavor to empower you and instill hope for the future and if you have not benefited from prior therapy, I would appreciate getting a chance to try and change your mind.

I'm thrilled to have a full time office to offer clients in person sessions, as well as video or phone for those who prefer. I especially enjoy seeing couples in person as we grapple with issues of communication, fidelity, substance use, intimacy, or even whether or not to continue the relationship. Similarly, I like working with adult individual clients to work on a behavior or relationship that is keeping them stuck, or on ways to understand and manage emotions and needs to get the best out of life.

Her passion is working with adolescents and adults who struggle with substance use, trauma, grief and loss, and transitions.

Most of us at one time or another need help, but feel overwhelmed asking for it. Are you having a hard time making sense of what is going on in your life? If you find yourself having a difficult time moving on from past life events which leave you feeling stuck, paralyzed, irritable, anxious, sad, depressed, or overwhelmed, then I would like to help you. Therapy cannot change what happened to you in the past, but it can provide insight, understanding, and resolution. Allow me to help you make sense of the things that no longer make sense.

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy provides a space that allows one to talk freely without judgment. Therapy can be hard work and with that, it should be a stress-free environment and made enjoyable to attend. I also advocate for physical exercise to help alleviate symptoms of mental health. In my experience, I have seen how talking alone can help. As therapists, we are trained to listen and not just hear what you are saying. Sometimes it takes being heard for the first time for a client to have a breakthrough.
