Therapists in Denver, CO

With life and circumstances moving so fast these days, sitting and talking with an elder can slow it down, creating a space and making the time to really think about and explore options, choices, and to deepen understanding of oneself. Change begins on the inside before it is seen outwardly. I work with individuals and couples. In our work together we might learn to see patterns of behavior, connect with deep beliefs and wishes, find out what brings meaning to our lives, and begin to live in a way that feels authentic and joyful. I do therapy in a very interactive way: listening, teaching, reflecting and offering insights.

Are you ready to pull yourself out of the hole you've been living in? Are you struggling to heal from on or multiple experiences, that has diluted your ability to remain strong? I am confident that together we can work to equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome these challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, addiction, or PTSD, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey.

I believe you already have the answer to your problem. If you’re unaware of that answer, my job is to help you uncover it. If you’re conscious of it, my job is to help you accept it. In both cases, we work together as you decide what you’re going to do next. Either way, you are the expert on your own life. I ask the questions and help you sift through your options.

Are you grappling with depression, anxiety or the aftermath of a traumatic experience? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, alone, and uncertain about finding relief. But you don’t have to face this journey alone.

Are you seeking support with changes in your life? Perhaps you have been held back by unprocessed experiences in your past. Wish to fine-tune an important relationship? Let's be brave together! My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to tackle challenging emotional work. I strive to help my clients on their journey toward a life built on fulfilling, empathetic, and compassionate relationships. My life's work is to create an accepting and supportive environment for all, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, place of origin, age, or ability.

Do you want to change your situation, improve your decision making process, and maintain a healthy happy life and you believe you do not have the strengths, supports, or tools to bring changes into your life?

I know all too well what it's like to be living half a life, with substance use, various co-occurring mental health disorders, and life circumstances getting in the way of having healthy relationships, a stable career, and developing a sense of fulfillment and confidence in yourself. My goal is to help you achieve your life goals by identifying, understanding, and accepting your major obstacles in new ways, and using your unique strengths to work with them instead of against them to make them less daunting.
