Individual Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Emotional Overwhelm in Colorado

180 | session

Start reclaiming your calm, clarity, and confidence.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out? I provide individual therapy in Colorado for adults and professionals navigating anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, addictions or emotional disconnection. Whether you’re dealing with chronic stress, relationship patterns, or struggling to feel like yourself again, therapy can help you move from just surviving to feeling calm, clear, and grounded. This space is designed for people who want real change — not just coping strategies — and who are ready to feel more present in their bodies, relationships, and lives.

You Might Be Here Because:

You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or on edge most days

You’re emotionally exhausted but can’t seem to slow down

You struggle with people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries

You feel “too much” or “not enough” in your relationships

You find yourself overthinking everything or feeling stuck in your head

You shut down, lash out, or freeze in conflict or vulnerability

You’ve tried self-help tools or past therapy, but deeper change still feels out of reach

You carry shame, guilt, or fear that feels hard to name

You’re tired of just surviving and want to feel more grounded, present, and connected

What to expect in Individual Therapy

To reprioritize yourself and set healthy boundaries?

To feel calmer in your body and mind?

To be better understood in your relationships?

To let go of survival-mode coping and finally feel at peace?

My Approach

You’re not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. Therapy with me is relational, emotion-focused, and insight-driven. While CBT provides the foundation for identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, our work will go deeper—into the emotional and relational systems that shaped how you show up in the world. I utilized tenets of Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

You’ll find that I’m engaged, empathic, and transparent. I’ll gently challenge you when needed and provide structure when things feel chaotic. Together, we’ll build a therapeutic space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered.

What Makes This Work Different

Many clients come to me frustrated after trying therapy that focused heavily on coping skills or surface-level symptom reduction. While those have their place, my approach centers on what happens beneath the symptom—what fuels your anxiety, disconnection, or emotional reactivity in the first place.

Together We Will

– Explore your emotional patterns and nervous system responses

– Process old emotional wounds and beliefs that still shape your present

– Strengthen your ability to stay present and regulated in emotionally charged moments

– Learn how to track, understand, and care for your internal parts (IFS)

– Rebuild emotional safety and connection in your relationship with self and others

When Skills Haven’t Worked

Have you tried box breathing, grounding, or cognitive reframing—and felt like nothing changed? That’s not a failure on your part. Often, those tools are offered without first creating emotional safety or addressing what’s driving the distress.

In our work, we’ll focus on learning how to use skills while emotionally activated, not just when things are calm. That includes helping your brain shift from fight-or-flight mode (amygdala activation) back into connection, reason, and regulation (prefrontal cortex functioning).

Emotional Regulation and Attachment Wounds

You may have internalized messages that strong emotions are unsafe, weak, or even dangerous. Over time, these messages create emotional habits—like shutting down, over-functioning, or pushing people away.

Our work will gently interrupt these patterns. We’ll create a space where emotions become information, not threats. You’ll learn how to move through fear, shame, and anger with more self-compassion and agency.

We’ll also explore how your early relationships may still influence how you feel in conflict, intimacy, or vulnerability today. Using elements of IFS, EFT, and psychoanalytic insight, we can begin to map out how these past experiences show up in present struggles—and how to shift them.

Maladaptive Coping Patterns

Have you ever thought, “I was just trying to help… why did that go so badly?”

Often, our efforts to feel safe—emotionally or relationally—have unintended consequences. You may withdraw, overanalyze, pursue connection intensely, or suppress emotion altogether.

These strategies made sense once. But they may now create pain, misunderstanding, or disconnection. Therapy helps untangle these reactions so you can move from automatic survival into intentional living.

So, where do we begin?

We’ll start by exploring what matters most to you—what’s bringing you to therapy now and what you hope to change. From there, we’ll move at your pace, building the kind of therapeutic relationship that helps you feel safe enough to grow.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.
