Anxiety Therapists in 80302

Deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating! Maybe you've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time, or maybe something happened to you that you need space to process, with some guidance. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Regardless, our job together once you walk into the room is to figure out how I can best help. It's okay if you don't know what that looks like, yet. That's part of my job!

I help people feel less anxious, less stressed, less overwhelmed and less depressed by providing life-changing psychological services for long-lasting emotional wellness. I am committed to using the best cognitive behavioral therapies that have been extensively researched and proven to work. Using my expertise in these gold standard treatments, I collaborate with my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs and provide these therapy services in a private, tranquil, peaceful environment. I am here to help you, and your loved ones, feel better through therapy that is grounded in compassion, understanding and empathy.

Are you ready to become the happiest, healthiest, most self-aware and authentic version of yourself? If so, reach out and join me as we embark on a powerful healing journey together. Healing can be isolating and fear provoking, but know that you are not alone. I am here to help guide you and let your soul shine. My purpose in life is to guide others in therapy so that they can feel full of light and joy, despite the heartaches of this human condition. My mission is to help you heal yourself. Everything is already within you. Sometimes we just need an external spark to light our flame.

I work with adult and teen individuals from a humanistic, somatic, mindfulness based perspective. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a guiding force in the healing process and an essential component for clients to more deeply access themselves. In our time together, we will increase awareness around your relationship to self, relationship patterns with others, how you work to notice and process feelings, how you relate to past wounds and trauma and how you regulate through stressful times. Together we will increase your capacity to compassionately trust and come back to yourself over and over again.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, improve your relationship, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

Brene Brown says "Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when in fact it's the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight " I know and have lived with that pressure to look a certain way, constantly perform at the most optimum level and hold myself to an impossible standard. It is awful, it tears you apart on the daily and can make you anxious, depressed and cause a lot of disappointment and shame. As a recovering "perfectionist" myself I get it and I'm here to tell you there is a way out!

The emotional challenges you are facing in your relationships or your work signal the opportunity for your greatest growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional reactivity, loneliness, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions or low self-worth, I can assist you to make lasting change. Within our collaboration together, you can learn skills for self-soothing, find relief from emotional reactivity, and shift self-limiting thoughts to thoughts that help you thrive.

You've experienced infidelity by someone you trust and now you're confused and left to deal with overwhelming decisions. The person you once knew is a stranger who is mistreating you now. You feel sick to your stomach most of the time, can't sleep, hell- you can barely function. And yet you know you have to keep it together. You need support but no one seems to really get it and you're so embarrassed to be in this place in your life. Every memory you have is tainted and you're left questioning the entire history of your relationship. You wonder if this nightmare will ever end. You just want to wake up to a different life.

Welcome! I specialize in Eastern psychology, mindfulness, and psychedelic therapy using ketamine. I create a safe space for self-discovery and inner harmony. Through mindfulness, we cultivate awareness and self-compassion. I offer transformative ketamine-assisted therapy, adhering to ethical standards. Ideal for those seeking breakthroughs, relief from emotional distress, and profound personal growth. If you find yourself feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, resistance to change and/or relationship patterns that do not serve you, this is the work for you.

You really want to enjoy life but everything seems daunting. You feel stuck, overwhelmed and confused. Life can be challenging but you don't have to go through this alone. My first aim in therapy is to create a space where you feel safe and heard. Together we embark on a journey of greater insight to understand what is holding you back and to create possibilities for change. I see therapy as a collaborative process: I bring my skills and experience, and you bring your whole self, your strengths and vulnerabilities, your fears and desires. My goal is to help you live a full and meaningful life in a way that feels true to YOU.

Accepting new clients! Stop putting yourself last, break free of self-sabotaging habits, and start uncovering your authentic self to move toward the future you're dreaming of. Many of the patterns we experience in our lives are the result of things we have learned in our past environments. This can show up in our lives as anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of disconnection, sadness, and more. Maybe you find yourself agreeing with those around you just to keep the peace, unsure of your own needs, acting like a chameleon to fit in with those around you, or anxious just trying to handle the stressors of your daily life.

“ I am committed to supporting and treating women and their families who are struggling with anxiety and depression during pregnancy and postpartum. I have a strength based, solution focused approach and I will work with you to navigate the challenges of parenthood. “

I strive to empower and enable my clients to successfully navigate life's many challenges. My approach is active, experiential and educational in nature. Rather than trying to control, eliminate or avoid painful thoughts and emotions, I work with my clients in learning new ways to relate to life's difficult and often painful experiences. Whether you are a parent, a spouse, a young adult, a business professional or senior, my goal is to help you live a rewarding and meaningful life, living authentically, and becoming the person you aspire to be.

I believe that there is great power in developing a deeper understanding of who you are, your strengths and weakness, and how your brain functions and adapts-and applying this information to develop ways to manage and communicate your emotions and needs to the important people in your life. I have been working with kids, teens, adults and families for the last 15 years, and find it very meaningful and rewarding. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and neurodevelopmental disorders, using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-oriented and family systems based approaches.

I help people move through the stuckness that is blocking their full potential. Together, we will navigate pain and trauma from your past, unearth the parts of yourself that are no longer serving you, and create positive change and movement in your life from this point forward. I work to highlight the strength and wisdom you already possess that have helped carry you to this present moment. We will practice patience with the parts of you that are still growing while infusing new habits and self-care routines into your life to create forward momentum and help you rise into the highest version of yourself.

There will always be pain in life but you needn't suffer. You can live a life worth living even as you experience depression, anxiety, negative self evaluation and other psychological symptoms. And you can recover joy and laughter despite mental health issues. Learn practical skills for self regulation and develop mindfulness practices to sustain your ability to be present and effective in your daily life. I can help you with parenting, marital problems, family conflict, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Together we will create a relationship in which you experience acceptance, compassion, empathy--and sometimes humor.
