You are really good at what you do.

And this is hard.

THERAPY FOR YOUTH, INDIVIDUALS, & PARENTS

Trying to understand their particular child, themselves and their home.

You have so many tools.

You did what they said: followed the experts, adjusted expectations, tried routines, rewards, connection, boundaries.

And still, mornings unravel. Your child melts down over something small. You react in ways you don’t feel good about. Maybe you and your partner disagree about what to do, or the grief of parenting feels heavier than you expected.

And you wonder: what do we do now?

You are thoughtful, loving, curious, and incredibly invested in your kids.

You’ve tried so hard—and learned so much—while holding a lot to make things happen.

There’s tension, frustration, and disconnection from the people you love most—and you don’t always feel like the parent, partner, or you that you want to be.

We Tend Your Spark

You and me, together, will look at what is actually happening in your family—not what should be happening—and figure out what makes sense for this child, these parents, and this season of life to thrive.

Location

Hello!

In-Person Sessions

917 Main St. Grand Junction, CO 81501

My office is in a yellow house on the south side of the street. Once inside the building, you will go to the end of the waiting room, turn left, and head up the stairs. My office is one of two upstairs, and there is a waiting room and bathroom you can use while you wait for your appointment. Then, I will be out to get you at the time of your session.

*Due to the nature of a shared workspace with other professionals and clients, we ask that families wait in another location for their young person’s session.

Telehealth

Any appointment need can be accommodated with Telehealth (a child home sick, etc).

My office is located upstairs on the second floor. Please note that the building does not have an elevator, and access to the office requires using stairs. If this creates a challenge, I offer secure telehealth appointments throughout Colorado and would be happy to make this available

Ready to Chat?

When you’re ready, schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll chat, see if we are a good fit, and go from there!
