Marriage & Family Therapist in Fort Collins, CO

About My Clients

I provide both couples and individual therapy. I help couples struggling with communication, boundaries, and emotional intimacy. Together, we will uncover vulnerable feelings and break free from unhealthy cycles. In addition, I help individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-criticism, self-esteem, and find themselves caught in cycles of guilt and shame. Together in therapy, we will focus on uncovering the unique parts of you and helping you find compassion to heal your inner self.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach to couples therapy combines Gottman Method training and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), while incorporating Solution-Focused methods. During our work, we will identify both the strengths and areas for growth within your relationship to discover the unique qualities that brought you and your partner together. Through developing foundational communication skills, couples will feel empowered to establish healthy boundaries and express their needs, which helps prevent resentment from taking root. When working with individuals, my approach consists of Attachment-Based Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Therapy, with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to enhance our work together. This process can transform how you confront difficulties in life and improve your communication with others and, most importantly, yourself. Together, we will work to establish an ever-evolving belief and value system that connects to your true self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe connection is fundamental to human nature, and sometimes, we face challenges that can complicate this innate desire. I am dedicated to creating a space where you can gradually express your vulnerabilities so that you can reach a deeper level of understanding and closeness with others. I believe that each individual is the true expert of their own life. I strive to empower clients to recognize their strengths and abilities, guiding them as they work toward their personal goals and celebrating their growth along the way. I aim to support individuals in achieving genuine self-acceptance and cultivating self-compassion, helping create a more fulfilling and authentic life.
