If you've been in therapy before and still struggle with unresolved issues, a more comprehensive approach may help. I am a strong proponent of working with the whole body to address emotional difficulties. Research has shown that present day mental health challenges which originate from early life experiences very often require intervention with the parts of our system which hold pre-verbal memories and conditioning. Using both cognitive (brain-focused) AND somatic (body-focused) interventions ensures that all parts of our body are integrated into the healing process.

I have worked in the substance abuse treatment community, both as a primary therapist and in clinical management.

Have you arrived at a point in your life where carrying so much emotional and mental weight is becoming significant in your life? Perhaps these challenges can present as feeling stuck and/or experiencing depression, anxiety & more.

I am passionate about helping others to achieve their life goals and/or recover from illness, trauma, or grief. If you have experienced a major life event, death/loss of a loved one, traumatic life events, or been diagnosed with a debilitating illness, this can be a very difficult journey to navigate alone. You may be leaning on others for support only to find they don't know how to help. Or perhaps you are too concerned to burden those closest to you with your emotional needs. Seeking professional therapy is an excellent way to get the specialized help you need on your path to recovery.

I remember going through the motions of living life how I thought others wanted me to live. I was always putting others first and myself second, and although I gained joy from some of these experiences, knowing that I was not true to myself and who I wanted to be made me feel lazy and unfulfilled. While I was working on my Masters, the teachings of martial arts and eastern philosophy coincided with my academic lessons in a way that gave me perspective on how I could better myself, my mood, and the lives of others. I have felt a great improvement on my outlook and my ability to assist others in battling their own crossroads.

Work with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) to heal from sex/porn addiction. Sex/porn addiction is a clinical disorder which has ruined countless lives and families but responds to effective treatment. If you are struggling with sex/porn addiction, you know how debilitating it can be--shame, self-loathing, unable to stop your problematic behaviors and facing consequences. If you are the partner of a sex/porn addict, you may be wondering where to turn, bewildered and betrayed by the one you love.

Welcome! Counseling offers a safe, nonjudgmental, space for exploring the psyche, finding meaning in challenging life events, and experiencing a sense of hope. The counseling process can be creative and exciting, and at times, it can be difficult. I seek to be open, supportive, curious, and responsive to my clients as they navigate their journey. I lean toward a psychodynamic psychotherapy model, exploring how our attachment styles, family stories, coping mechanisms, and unconscious layers of thoughts and feelings influence our present day life.

I support individuals in their teens, 20s, and 30s who are navigating anxiety, trauma, and attachment challenges.

I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, disordered eating, mood and dissociative disorders. I provide a compassionate space for you to navigate life transitions, relationships, process experiences, and gain insight in a path towards healing. I am accepting clients for in-person therapy in the Denver area, and telehealth across CO and FL.

As a child (and now), I was gifted with sensitivity, empathy, and the ability to make others feel comfortable and understood. This innate propensity inspired curiosity in humans, suffering, and the mind/heart from a young age. However, it wasn’t until my descent into depression at the age of 20 that I decided being a therapist was my calling. Through my own therapeutic work and journey into darkness, I solidified my desire to become a therapist and bring the same healing I found to others while integrating my continued journey of seeking spiritualty and wisdom.

I believe in a mind/body connection, in which physical ailments can affect the mind and mental concerns or stress can affect someone physically. Therefore, I feel it is necessary to look at a person as a whole when you come to me for help. I will take a comprehensive look at all aspects of your life in order to determine the best course of treatment. In addition, I am passionate about therapy! I have seen psycho-therapy change people’s lives for the better and believe this might be possible for you too. Call and schedule an appointment today.
