Are you a woman in midlife who feels lonely or unseen?
Maybe your most intimate relationship has lost its spark, and you’re uncertain how to find your way back to connection or discern next steps.
Maybe the faith you’ve always known no longer fits, and you’re feeling alone as you wander without a community.
Or maybe pouring out for others all these years has left you wondering about your identity outside of caretaking or work.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand the patterns, and begin creating something different. My work is grounded in attachment-focused, individual story, and mind-body based therapy, helping you understand the deeper patterns shaping your relationships, this season of life, and how to change them to feel more like health.
When patterns keep repeating …
You may notice yourself:
Feeling emotionally disconnected or deeply lonely 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 strained relationships with your kids or uneasy with the transition to empty nesting
Questioning whether things can really change
These experiences can be painful and confusing and you may feel like you don’t want to process with friends and family. Cycles of conflict, withdrawl, and emotional disconnection from yourself and others can be changed.
Therapy can help you understand these dynamics and begin responding from a place of greater clarity and emotional steadiness.
Healing in Midlife
My practice focuses on helping adults (men and women) understand the deeper emotional patterns that shape their relationships and the story they’re living.
Many of the challenges that arise over time are not just about communication. They are connected to attachment wounds, nervous system responses, and long-standing relational patterns that can be hard to see when you live in them.
Together we work to:
understand recurring relational dynamics
find clarity around your emotional needs, especially when they feel conflicting
explore the patterns beneath conflict or withdrawal
create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others
explore a deeper understanding of the stories that influence your conflict cycles
allow space for the underlying grief to surface in a safe contained space so that you can heal
As these patterns shift, many clients begin to feel more grounded, more empowered, and more emotionally connected with themselves and others.
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
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 to help minimize anxiety and/or depression symptoms.
Intensives
Intensives are extended (half-day or full-day) sessions that enable deeper exploration and momentum, helping individuals or couples access insights and shifts that can sometimes take longer in traditional weekly or biweekly 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.
Who I Work With

emotional disconnection in long-term relationships
recurring conflict or communication difficulties
feelings of loneliness
perfectionism and high-achieving tendencies
resentment from overfunctioning or overgiving
difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries
confusing patterns and big emotions
a desire to restore lost identity
