Do you want to feel more confident and assertive? Do you struggle with self esteem or feeling good enough?

"I have not met a more wholehearted counselor than Dr. Horowitz in 40 years of working with so many," wrote author Stephen Levine. Your courageous reach for help is the first, hardest step.

Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, anger, grief, or pain, you can be helped via research-based tools. We'll first revisit your positive attributes: your accomplishments, talents, & passions are fuel for growth & change. We humans can re-learn, thankfully.

According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

Let’s talk about what matters to you. Change happens and we ask ourselves “ Who am I Now?” “What is Meaningful to Me?” “What causes me pain and sadness?” “What makes me Laugh?” “Is loneliness a recurring theme?” “Why am I so angry?” Difficulties connecting with people and lack of assertiveness can cause resentment, anger, loneliness, and loss of meaning. We grow in our relationships with ourselves and each other. Healthy relationships make us feel alive. The ability to positively assert ourselves creates increased self esteem and authentic relationships.

Please note: I am currently not taking on new clients. Hello! I am a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years experience. As a skilled and compassionate therapist, I have worked with many people struggling with posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, anger and interpersonal relationship concerns. I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapy practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT) and Time Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP).

You want to not just feel better, but to GET better...and in a way that makes sense, addresses what is important to you, and is effective and empowering. Good therapy is not a temporary Band-Aid, but will help you develop knowledge and skills that last a lifetime. Real change involves a better sense of self-worth, understanding yourself and others, more tools in managing and expressing emotions, and more effective communication skills in relationships. We will clarify your main concerns and goals, identify the barriers to change, and then use your strengths and new tools to find solutions that fit your personality and lifestyle.

I provide trauma-informed care for parents with a history of trauma or difficult upbringings of their own. I teach self-regulation for anger and anxiety, treat underlying trauma, and support healthy parenting. I also help clients process their spirituality or religious background, work through the impacts of religion on mental health, and identify a personally meaningful spirituality. I offer affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients, particularly those from a religious background. Many of my clients are young adults (18-26) navigating major life transitions in their relationships, careers, mental health, values, and identity.

My therapeutic approach is centered around meeting you where you are and empowering you to take the next steps through effective goal setting and skill-building. I aim to support you in overcoming fears and developing healthy coping strategies for life's challenges. Consistently confiding in someone can provide a sense of security and peace of mind, and I am here to offer that support.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions. My therapeutic approach is drawn from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and a humanistic approach. I also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Ritual/Response Prevention (EXRP) as well as EMDR and Prolong Exposure (PE) sessions for trauma treatment. I am a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

I take a holistic and contextual approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My areas of focus include sexuality, sex, identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life-transitions.

Whether trauma and co-occuring concerns has affected you or someone you love, the process of healing can feel overwhelming and even frightening. Regardless of what happened and where you find yourself now, I believe everyone is capable of growth. A safe, supportive, and authentic space is essential for clients to move past those negative thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, destructive behaviors, shame, and sadness. I've found that warm support, while also challenging people to look within, leads to healing and connection with the best version of themselves.

Struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety? These are treatable conditions! With effective EMDR treatment, we can relieve your pain and foster integrative experiences. As your therapist, I'll challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and focus on healing (EMDR therapists call it "adaptive resolution") beyond intellectual understanding. Together, we'll create a treatment plan with a beginning, middle, and end, ensuring long-lasting transformative changes. My specialty in EMDR has been helpful to many of my clients, including those who believed that they were untreatable.

I approach each client with a genuine investment in uncovering his or her unique qualities, strengths, and passions in order to strengthen their sense of autonomy and feelings of positive self-worth. I believe strongly in the tenets of equality, non-judgment, flexibility, and safety within the therapeutic relationship, and my primary aim is to provide an environment in which self-acceptance can be cultivated and personal growth can be nurtured. Treatment will always be a collaborative effort to discover the essential insights necessary for lasting change while simultaneously learning how to treat yourself with more leniency and personal grace.

As a marriage and family therapist, I see relationships and the structures in which we exist as a source of healing and potential for growth – regardless if you are an individual, couple, or family system. I firmly believe in a solution-focused approach, in that everyone has the strength and resilience to find the answers to their concerns. I will be your guide in exploring and building on what is working and providing tools and strategies to improve what is not.

I feel that family connection and communication is the foundation for healthy futures for both adults and adolescents. As a seasoned LCSW in the Denver metro area I have extensive experience in working with youth and families in getting through these challenging experiences and moving towards healthier communication, relationships and futures. I offer in-home family and individual work that addresses issues related to juvenile justice involvement, patterns of oppositional behaviors, school issues, unhealthy relationships and other presenting mental health issues. Family therapy addresses family relationships, parenting skills, communication challenges, and understanding healthy rules, roles and responsibilities.
