Therapists in Wheat Ridge, CO

I am a licensed professional counselor and have been in private practice since 1989. I work with adolescents and adults in a nurturing therapeutic relationship to reinforce the strengths my clients already have. We then work together to bolster more effective coping skills and develop authentic fulfillment using a mind, body and spirit-centered approach to self-discovery. My strengths in treating clients include depression, anxiety, post-partum depression, thorough knowledge of psychiatric medications and eating disorders.

This is curious and brave therapy: the desire to learn and know, coupled with a willingness to embrace change. Whether you've been stumbling over narratives in the present rooted in the past, treading water in a sea of stagnation, or hearing the call to return to your true self - I would love to come alongside you on this journey. My goal in the therapy room is simple: to create space for you as you navigate life's obstacles and celebrations, and illuminate the shadows residing in your mind and body that are the key to empowerment and growth. A true psychonaut is "an explorer of one's own mind" - let's begin.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and still need something more? I work with people who want a different approach. I utilize nature, play, energy, and animal-assisted therapy to help support the healing journey. Clients come seeking support for various reasons but I specialize in trauma and attachment, parenting for children who are struggling, empowerment and self-esteem. Using methods like expressive arts, yoga, partnering with nature and animals, healing happens emotionally, spiritually, cognitively and physically. I have a laid back style and you will often find me dressed in sweats or yoga pants.

Welcome to The Counseling Place at Lone Tree! We have been helping people of all ages live their best life since 2007. Are you feeling stuck in your life?

This may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but with a skilled therapist it is actually achievable. We help you identify contributors to the struggle, grow self-awareness, heal old wounds, and move forward into a more positive you.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment for my clients. Overall, I use an very authentic, egalitarian, honest, direct, dialogic and relational approach. I focus on the ability of clients to make changes and find freedom in their lives by utilizing their unique potential, accepting personal responsibility, and exploring the meaning in life that they desire. My style stems from my belief that the client's own internal knowledge, strength, and commitment to change is what ultimately holds the power. Relational Gestalt therapy highly informs my clinical work and therapeutic style.
