Individual Workshops

If you are hesitant about entering into therapy or feel that you do not have the time to dedicate towards therapy, consider one of my Intensive Individual Workshops. These workshops include Divorce Healing, Parenting Skills, Becoming Unstuck, and Awareness and Communication. Each workshop is 3-4 hours in length. They include a personal assessment followed by personalized skill building.

Divorce Healing Workshop

How do you grieve the loss of your marriage? How do you move forward when you don't know what your future will look like? You may be experiencing mixed emotions, confusion, lack of foresight, overwhelm, and distressed children. In addition, you may be dealing with an uncooperative (ex) spouse.

Nearly fifty percent of my practice is divorce situations. Often times, people find themselves stuck and overwhelmed by divorce. The goal of this workshop is to process and validate what you are experiencing. We will build skills to handle your discomfort. Finally, we will build on your strengths to create the roadmap towards the future you would like to accomplish.

Becoming Unstuck

Do you wonder why you feel stuck in your life? Perhaps you do not know the steps to take to achieve your goals. You wonder where your motivation has gone, or simply have no idea what direction to go although you know you dislike your current life.

This workshop includes a strong assessment of your current life situation, while taking into account any life traumas, negative patterns, or losses that may have contributed to your current situation. The assessment will include investigating any negative cognitions (thoughts) you may be acting out of. Examples of negative cognitions are "I am not good enough", "I am powerless", "I am not loveable", or "I have to be perfect". We delve into the roots of where these thoughts came from.

We work on awareness and building your own personal manual. Your manual will consist of your authentic self, which will help you make future decisions inline with your wants, needs, and personal preferences.

Communication and Awareness

So often we feel like we know what we want to say to others, but you are unable to verbally communicate this to others. Perhaps, you may know something is wrong in your relationship or a situation and you just can't seem to put your finger on what it is. This may leave you feeling powerless and helpless in getting your needs met.

This workshop uses many Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to build skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and communication. We will explore were you feel discomfort in your bodies and use these discomforts to come up with insights as to what could be going wrong. You will learn strategies to slow down in order to listen to yourself. These skills will assist you in getting your needs met. Thus, you will improve on creating interior and exterior tension, and increase life fulfillment.

Parenting Skills

Are you struggling with you child or adolescent and feeling like there is no way out of your situation? You could be feeling as though you are speaking completely different languages when attempting to communicate with your child. You may worry about your child, not even knowing if you should have these concerns.

I have spent several years as a clinician at The Children's Hospital in Denver. At Children's, I learned many highly specialized skills including parenting strategies and assessment skills. I bring these techniques to parents in my private practice in order to build a toolbox of skills and strategies to parent their children. Some therapeutic models that I will bring into the workshop include Parenting the Strong-Willed Child, Love and Logic, Explosive Child, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
