Therapists in Denver, CO

I work collaboratively with clients who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, life transitions, genuine connections, relationship issues, attachment, bonding and adoption-related issues. I believe in the strength of families and individuals and I will collaborate with you by building on those strengths during the therapeutic process. I believe we all have strengths we can draw from which make us a stronger healthier human being. I believe in looking at therapy as a part of a holistic maintenance we as humans should all participate in. We are exercising our brains and emotions to strengthen who we are and who we strive to be.

My approach is to help people recover from anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, adoption issues, perfectionism, difficult family relationship dynamics and feeling "not enough" no matter how hard you try. I know that taking the first step is big, and you've probably already been working really hard to manage things yourself. Let's work together in a productive way and get your life going in the direction that you want. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what you need.

Hello! Every one of my clients is unique. What I specialize in is trauma, learned/experienced relationship patterns, adoption, family challenges, neuro-diversity and am LGBTQ+ friendly. . My focus is on using the (sometimes unrecognized) strengths of clients to overcome even severe obstacles to success.

New client spots available! Licensed in WI,IL,CO & FL(by endorsement). I identify as a Bi/queer cis woman (she/her) who was late diagnosed as ADHD. I provide LGBTQI+ and Neurodivergent affirming and informed therapy. I also provide therapy to those involved in Adoption & Foster through the TAC (Training in Adoption Competency) approach. We go against the grain of “typical” & how “things should be” & focus instead on what works for you. Are you ready to dig into root issues, explore your identity, set boundaries, communicate your needs and build healthy coping skills?

You may be struggling with anxiety and/ or a traumatic experience; it can be debilitating. You may feel alone and worried about whether or not you will ever have relief. Oftentimes, you might feel isolated from those you care for; feel lost and uncertain; unsure if you can have a quality life. You can navigate this with a therapist who is able to build a strong therapeutic relationship anchored in trust and safety. I have been able to help many as they embark upon a journey of health addressing some of their greatest fears in order to improve their standard of life and grapple with the anxiety and trauma holding them back.

Are you under stress? Overwhelmed? Do you feel unable to move ahead in your life? Would you like to feel more effective with your children or in your marriage? Is your child struggling at home or at school? I have 25 years experience in individual , child and family counseling, as well as couples counseling. I work with issues, from life transitions ( divorce, loss ) to chronic mental illness, and trauma. Although I work from a cognitive behavioral base, I draw from many theoretical techniques, including psychodynamic,developmental, trauma recovery, EMDR, art therapy and others (we find what works best for you).

My ideal clients include caring individuals in search of a desire to be known, seen, and supported. I aim to work alongside deeply loving and caring clients, focused on healthy growth and connection for them and their families. If you or your child are feeling unseen, missed, alone, or stuck in the midst of difficult life circumstances, I would love to be a source of connection and support for you. Seeing you or your child experience the deep aliveness of being seen and valued brings me joy and a deep sense of purpose.

Speaking one's story and processing one's experience is often best done with another. I will provide a safe and compassionate space for you to grow and heal.

Our typical clients are children and adolescents who are struggling with a specific change, transition, trauma incident, loss, or other stressor that is causing behavioral and emotional concerns, like defiance, anxiety, depression, self-harm, which interferes with school, home-life, and other relationships. Clients have goals to decrease behavioral concerns at home and school, improve emotions, coping skills, communication skills, and school performance. A lot of parents want their children to listen, respect, and connect and communicate with them. We also work with individual adults, families and couples.

Are you living the life you want? Recovery is a choice and I am here to help. Getting help is not a sign of weakness; it is the empowerment of one's internal strength. I have a passion for creating a therapeutic alliance with clients to help them achieve their goals and to become their best self. Utilizing evidence based therapies, I am able to peel back the layers and get to the heart of one's core issues, resulting in healing. Choosing to seek professional help is a big decision and choosing the right counselor is essential to achieving success."
