“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

These are the areas in which I can offer support, help and guidance:

LIFE DIRECTION & LIFE TRANSITIONS COUNSELING

You can’t go back to what was, and you don’t know what’s coming next. This period has been described as a liminal time. This in-between time is when transformation can take place. It offers you a chance to re-evaluate and reflect on your priorities.

Your priorities may include your…

  • Family, Friend, and Work Relationships
  • Health
  • Spirituality
  • Career
  • Happiness and Peace

This re-evaluation of your priorities can lead to some of our important work in therapy.

Re-evaluating your priorities helps you:

  • Find More Meaning In Your Life
  • Look At Your Identity and Relationships
  • Create Enhanced Self-Care

Therapy offers you a place and time to slow down so that you can figure out…

  • What is needed
  • What really matters
  • What is next for you in your life

Some examples of life transitions include:

  • Empty Nest
  • Retirement
  • Age Milestones
  • Divorce
  • Job Changes
  • Dealing with an Illness
  • Graduating College
  • Moving
  • Marriage or New Relationship
  • Birth of a Child
  • Aging Parents

GRIEF COUNSELING

Have the ways people responded to your grief caused you to shut down and not share your feelings? You may not have received the support you need and deserve from others. Many people are uncomfortable around grief even when they care about you.

Grief is meant to be witnessed by another! We are not meant to grieve alone.

Therapy offers you a safe and validating space where you can share what this loss means to you or discover what it means to you.

Your grief and loss may include:

  • The Death of Someone in Your Life
  • A Long-Ago Loss
  • Your Illness or The Illness of a Loved One
  • Pandemic Related Grief
  • Loss of a Soul Pet

For more information, please check out the Grief Counseling and Therapy page.


WOMEN’S COUNSELING FOR EMPOWERMENT

Have you lost sight of who you are, what you want, and what’s important to you? Society and upbringing reward women for the caretaking of others.

Do you feel like…

  • You’ve lost your voice?
  • You’ve lost sight of who you are?
  • You’ve lost sight of what’s important to you?
  • You’ve lost sight of what you want?

Counseling can help you get clarity, feel empowered, and find your voice!

Some examples of finding your voice can include:

  • Creating More Self-Acceptance and Self-Compassion
  • Setting Healthy Boundaries
  • Paying Attention to Your Thoughts and Feelings
  • Befriending Your Inner Critic
  • Increasing Self-Care
  • Reducing Stress
  • Connecting Back to Your Wants and Needs (Your Authentic Self)

For more information, please check out the Women’s Counseling for Empowerment page.


Reach out for a free 20-30-minute video or phone initial consultation! During the consult, you can share a little bit about what’s bringing you to counseling. I’ll answer any questions you may have about therapy.

This consult is an opportunity to decide if I’m the right therapist for you. If not, I can refer you to another clinician in my network. If we are a good fit, then we’ll go ahead and get started. I want to make sure that you get the best care possible!

Hi, I’m Hope.

I believe that you deserve a therapist with whom you connect! It’s also important that your therapist has experience supporting clients with your challenges and experiences.

There is hope, and I am here to help you find it during this time of change and growth.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist and Certified Grief Informed Professional with over two decades of experience providing counseling support to clients.

My therapy practice is based in Longmont, Colorado. However, I work with residents of Colorado and Florida through my online counseling services.

Together, let’s create your authentic, empowered, and meaningful life!

Quote about therapy

I really like this quote about being a therapist. We do not live perfect lives. We are not all-knowing. We are not better than our clients.

Our experiences as therapists have given us the privilege of accompanying many people on their life journeys. This has created a different perspective on life and the possibilities of healing, survival and personal growth.
