AEDP Therapists in Lakewood, CO

Do you want more freedom and ease, but when it comes to making lasting change that gets to the root of the issue, you have run out of ideas and patience and want support from someone who understands and can help facilitate growth? My goal is to help support your journey of discovery through inquiry and exploration. Together we will work to create more freedom and choice in thought, action, and feeling- transformation from the inside out. I work with individuals and couples across a wide variety of issues including relational stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, personal growth, and career and life transition.

When navigating life itself feels daunting, I recognize that embarking on the counseling journey can feel equally so. When you feel lost, stuck, anxious, alone, or exhausted – and you’re just trying to figure out how you can make it through – it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Knowing this, I want to honor your efforts and provide you with a supportive environment to pursue both resolution and healing.

Every individual is unique and has a distinctive perspective. There are many factors that contribute to the way we operate whether it is significant life events, relationships, or stressors. We are hard-wired to be in relationships with others. Relationships have a big impact on the way we are able to interact with others.

Healing can be difficult. Navigating the multiple relationships, choices, and tensions in your life may seem overwhelming or tenderly intertwined. Wherever your present needs may find you, I am here to walk alongside you as you take the next step towards wholeness and healing. Through a deeper presence and awareness with and of yourself, I aspire to journey with you as enter those deeper places of ambivalence, hurt, and longing to reengage with those parts of yourself which feel a bit more distant. Through a reintegration of yourself, I hope to support you in discovering freedom, autonomy, and self-compassion to live life fully.

Do you feel like it's just not working any more? You are not alone! We all carry stories: the different relationships, events, and circumstances that have shaped and impacted us. As humans, we all have a deep longing and need for relationships. Early relationships often create the framework for perceiving and interacting with others. Our experiences throughout development lead us to internalize messages and form beliefs about who we are and how to interact with others. Early traumas, losses, and relational dysfunction can lead to present pain and distorted views of how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

We specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, stress, end of life issues, identity issues and adjustments/transitions. The healing process of therapy can result in an increase in self-esteem, an improved outlook, a greater sense of control or calmness, decreased pain and better self understanding.

Hello and welcome to The Center for Secure Attachment. Navigating through different seasons can be difficult and present unique challenges that, at times, might require additional guidance and support. We are a counseling practice with compassionate counselors who are skilled at helping you navigate those challenges. Contact us to help you find the right fit for what you are working through.

You’ve been trying your hardest in relationships but still feel the pain of aloneness or not finding lasting connection/s. Or, you find yourself stuck, not able to approach life with forward-moving energy or clear direction. I get it. Trauma, a difficult childhood, and/or life's inevitable disappointments, often create barriers to feeling solid within yourself & to attaining what you hope for in life. I use mind-body approaches that go beyond talk therapy to create lasting change. Together, we can identify & mend what is getting in the way of you having safe, authentic relationships or crafting a life that is more of what you want.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you feel confused about how you got to where you are and need help gathering some clarity. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with all that has happened to you, and you need someone to help you feel seen. Or maybe life is changing rapidly in ways you’re not ready for, and you want support you as you navigate these new realities. Coming to meet a new therapist is a vulnerable experience. I want to honor your bravery in seeking support as I partner with you in creating change, finding healing, and experiencing more freedom, agency, and connection.

Discovering the right therapist, someone who truly resonates with you, can often feel like a time-consuming task. Yet, I firmly believe in the profound impact of therapeutic relationships founded on trust and authenticity. Have you ever found yourself grappling with profound loss or overwhelming anxiety? Do feelings of inadequacy persist, no matter how hard you strive, or do you struggle with maintaining boundaries to please others? If so, I'm here to extend a compassionate hand, providing the support you need to navigate through these challenging experiences and cultivate a safe, nurturing space where genuine healing can occur.

Everyone has their own unique story, and what has happened in our past affects who we are and how we experience the world and relationships today. I believe that as humans, we are fundamentally relational, and relationships can both be the source of healing and the source of pain. Having a space to process the pain without judgment is essential for healing.

You know who you were, but can't seem to access that person? Perhaps your relationships are in trouble, but you're not sure how to fix it? Gone through a transition and trying to find your footing? If you find yourself spiraling into thoughts contributing to anxiety, depression, reliving the past, or behaving in ways that don't represent the authentic you, we have specialized therapists to help. We offer effective treatment options for anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, depression, stress, trauma, dissociation, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes. Let us guide you on your path to wellness.

Emotional pain can be the most stifling and difficult pain to endure, yet it can also be the catalyst for tremendous growth and insight. I specialize in helping clients of all ages who are struggling with trauma, complex trauma, depression, stress, self-esteem and interpersonal difficulties. My ideal client is one who is ready to be free from the impact of trauma, be it old or recent trauma, and is desiring growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. I also enjoy working with clients who are interested in looking at their issues through the lens of their spirituality.

Are you or have you ever been in a season of life where you feel isolated, stuck, overwhelmed, or just not feeling your best? You are not alone! Everyone has struggles, whether that be in relationships, friendships, marriage, or family dynamics. Facing hardships in life is not uncommon and is something you should never face alone or be ashamed of. Thus, seeking help is not a sign of weakness but instead one of the bravest actions you can take as a human being!

Start feeling confident, in control and excited about the future. Stop your life from spinning into chaos. I help stressed out, overworked, women entrepreneurs and other busy professionals get past self-destructive habits that get in the way of achieving success. From procrastination, to obsessing about relationship issues, to chronic worrying. Or maybe it's something more serious like constant self-criticism or habitual drinking that keeps you stuck. You can break free from the bad habits that are limiting your life. There are tools for getting past these challenges and thriving. Let me show you how.

Being a woman in this world can feel so overwhelming- we feel like we are too much and also not enough, all at the same time. The endless to-do's, relationship challenges, and a loud and consistent inner critic can leave us feeling exhausted and on edge. Maybe for you the overwhelm looks like anxiety: constant worry and attempts to control your life. Or maybe it looks like depression: isolating, staying in bed, and shutting down to drown out the noise. It can be a struggle to live out of our authentic selves. But here, at Kin Counseling Services, you'll find the support and understanding you've been searching for.
