Couples Counseling Therapists in Greenwood Village, CO

Working with individuals, children and families is my true passion. I have over 20 years of experience. I understand the complexities and insecurities that occur during childhood and adolescence. Coping with emotional issues, stress, peers, school and family dynamics are among the issues I treat. I address issues with understanding and compassion. I believe the key for therapy to be successful is the client/ therapist relationship. That is why I stress the importance of developing a trusting relationship with those I work with. Therapy is a collaborative effort, whether you are 5 or 65 you know your self best.

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.

Is remarriage and stepfamily life more difficult than you anticipated? Are your children struggling to adapt to a new family situation? Or, are you divorced and struggling with the aftershock of single parenthood and trying to co-parent with your ex? Are you emotionally you depleted, caught in the same conflict again and again with your spouse, stepchild or ex? Being remarried with a stepfamily of my own, I care deeply about helping remarried couples navigate the unique challenges of blending a family.

Navigating this thing called life...Learn new ways to better manage and cope with life's ups and downs, family dynamics, intrusive/ irrational and negative thoughts. Identify and sort through complicated and mixed emotions such as anger, sadness and worry. You will have support through this process and all that comes with being human and in relationships. I teach clients to communicate better and manage tension and conflict more effectively. Clients will gain insight and skills on how to better acknowledge, manage and articulate their thoughts and feelings.

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.

If you are miserable in your relationship(s), whether with loved ones or yourself, I can help. Folks who benefit most from my help are at a life transition point or at the brink of a new growth stage: in themselves, in their primary relationship, in their family, or in their career – sometimes all at once. Often times these folks feel held back by one key factor, and that key factor is either a challenge in self-knowledge and self-acceptance or an area of past trauma that is unresolved and is therefore blocked from normal growth.

When you are alone you understand why you feel lonely. When you are in a relationship and you feel you are alone, that is different. Our need for relationships is hardwired into our biology. It goes against the grain for us to remain alone during our lifespan. However, relationships are tough. They require humbleness, honesty, and sacrifice. As a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I am trained on the work of Drs. John & Julie Gottman and their over 5 decades of research on relationships.
