You may be a woman in midlife who feels lonely or unseen in your long-term marriage — even if, from the outside, everything looks fine.
The same patterns keep repeating. Conversations turn into conflict, withdrawal, or silence. You may feel stuck between wanting closeness and feeling exhausted by trying so hard.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand these patterns, and begin creating something different.
When relationship patterns keep repeating …
You may notice yourself:
Feeling emotionally disconnected in your marriage
Carrying resentment from years of overgiving
Shutting down during conflict or feeling easily overwhelmed or triggered
Experiencing emotional reactivity that is hard to recover from
Wondering why the same arguments keep happening
Feeling deeply lonely even while in a long-term relationship
Questioning whether things can really change
These experiences are often connected to attachment patterns formed earlier in life. When those patterns are activated in adult relationships, they can create cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or emotional distance.
Therapy can help you understand these dynamics and begin responding from a place of greater clarity and steadiness.
Healing Attachment Wounds in Adult Relationships
My practice focuses on helping adults understand the deeper emotional patterns that shape their relationships.
Many of the challenges that arise in long-term partnerships are not simply about communication. They are connected to attachment wounds, nervous system responses, and long-standing relational patterns that developed earlier in life.
Together we work to:
understand recurring relational dynamics
explore the attachment patterns beneath conflict or withdrawal
reconnect with your own emotional clarity and needs
create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others
explore a deeper understanding of the stories that influence your conflict cycles
As these patterns shift, many clients begin to feel more grounded, more empowered, and more emotionally connected in their relationships.
Therapy Services in Fort Collins
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides space to explore your own emotional patterns, relationship history, and attachment experiences. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck in recurring dynamics in their marriage or unsure how to move forward.

Couples therapy helps partners understand the emotional patterns and internal stories shaping their conflicts and reconnect in a more meaningful way. We explore emotional and relational safety and get curious about unhelpful patterns.
Integrative Mental Health
I am trained to serve clients interested in a non-pharmaceutical approach that integrates gut health + brain health using nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle approaches in support of anxiety and/or depression symptoms.
Intensives
Intensives are extended (half-day or full-day) sessions that allow for deeper exploration and momentum, helping individuals or couples access insights and shifts that can sometimes take longer in traditional weekly or bi-weekly therapy.
My Approach to Therapy
My work integrates several depth-oriented approaches that support meaningful and lasting change:
Attachment-Based Therapy
Understanding how early relational experiences influence current relationships.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Exploring the deeper emotional patterns that shape behavior and relationships.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Helping clients understand the different internal parts that carry pain, protection, and resilience.
Somatic Therapy
Working with how emotional experiences live in the body and nervous system.
Relational Therapy
Regardless of any other approach, the relational work that happens in the therapy room between therapist and client is one of the most impactful for healing. This is why the right fit is most important.
This integrative approach allows therapy to move beyond insight alone and support deeper emotional and nervous system healing.
