Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in 80516

I work well with people who are motivated to reconnect with themselves in a deeper way, as I encourage movement towards self-acceptance, forgiveness, and inspiration. I am a person-centered therapist who offers unconditional positive regard to my clients, regardless of their depth of pain and loss in life. I believe in the inner healing capacity of every human to find their way through times of confusion, emotional pain, loss of self, disconnection from others, and grief and to reconnect with a more optimized way of showing up for themselves and others.

Healthy relationships begin with you. When you have a full plate you may feel irritable and exhausted and that you and your relationships need some TLC. You may feel resentful and/or angry and you may not know why or you may be unclear about what to do about it. You may be listening and living your life according to your inner critic, which can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and never feeling good enough instead of loving yourself and having the freedom to be who you are truly meant to be. Your ways of coping may be keeping you hanging on by a thread, but they also may be causing you pain and not addressing underlying forces.

Savor the summer moments as we embark on a journey to let your authentic self shine through. Therapy isn't about smoothing out every rough edge; it's about tapping into the innate resilience already within you. Whether it's overcoming temporary setbacks or unraveling persistent challenges, we'll navigate life's complexities together. Imagine therapy as a guided exploration towards self-discovery, where we strengthen the areas that need it most—whether it's kicking self-doubt to the curb or mastering the art of navigating tricky relationships.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Lacking hope or joy? You have a unique story that needs to be shared in a safe and accepting environment. I’d love to assist you in finding your way back to fullness of life even in the darkest of places.  My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate.  Through the application of a variety of validated, client-focused methods you can reclaim self-confidence, self-awareness and personal effectiveness. You can expect to rediscover your individual strengths, examine limiting thoughts and beliefs, investigate restricting relationship patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self.

These are difficult times. It's hard to find a place where you are seen and important! You matter. Your thoughts and perspectives are valuable. In thinking about your needs and your way of viewing the world, we will work together to define and clarify a path for your future. This new path will be a constant part of how we approach therapy together. By focusing on your needs and values we can find ways to heal your heart and mind with a sense of hope and health. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your concerns as well as assisting you to make life fulfilling and meaningful.

I help clients to overcome life struggles, inter- or intra-personal issues, pre-marital issues, process trauma/attachment history, increase coping skills, self-esteem, parenting issues, career/academic dissatisfaction, communication and conflict resolution skills. Are you feeling stressed, down, overwhelmed, or unheard? Have you sought a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns? Are there changes or challenges in life that are difficult to manage or overcome? Are you looking for a therapist that is direct and open with observations? I want clients to feel empowered, capable and supported in a judgement free space.

Many people seek therapy because something in their life is not working. It may be something at work, relationship with spouse, family members or friends. They feel frustrated and depressed because they are unable to be effective in managing problems. Over time these problems can lead to sadness, stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and changes in mood. Therapy can help you identify the things that are not working and assist you in developing strategies for solving your problems. Being able to solve problems and improve the quality of your life will lead to happiness and a feeling of empowerment.

Therapy is a validating & affirming space. Please know that I have a profound passion for helping clients and I meet all inquiry with compassion.

My goal is to empower you to embrace your narrative, rewrite the chapters that no longer serve you, and cultivate a life of authenticity and resilience.
