Therapists in Denver County, CO

I offer a unique and dynamic approach to psychotherapy. I work with healing and alchemizing trauma, anxiety, depression, loss and life transitions. I specialize in working with people ready to take the deep dive to create healing and changes that lead to feelings and experiences of vitality, enjoyment, self love and clarity.

Couples: Are you feeling stuck in cycles of arguing or mistrust, longing for understanding and connection? You want to transform conflict into collaboration with mutual respect and deep emotional intimacy. Anxiety: Your life is a daily challenge overshadowed by fear. You desire to understand its roots and interrupt the pattern to experience lasting calm. In both cases, you seek more than temporary fixes; you’re looking for transformative changes that create ownership and empowerment. I can guide you in harmonizing these aspects of your life, offering solutions that cater to both profound relationship growth and personal peace.

My clients deal with too much speed and stress. They are navigating a life that feels increasingly unfulfilled, or feel stuck. They often seek solace in external solutions like too much work, toxic relationships, or substances, and find all these lacking. They face the challenge of pausing to understand and meet their internal needs, which feels paradoxical. How to slow down when there's all this to do? This leads to more stress, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction with life. There is a way through all this.

Why psychoanalysis? In a world demanding of standards, success, happiness, etc. -or else you're dysfunctional-, psychoanalysis offers a space where adaptation is not the goal, it does not aim at 'making you normal', the main focus is desire. Causing the ability to respond to desire in a singular manner, yours, constitutes the core of the discipline, the cure happens in addition. A life where desire is present is worth living, analysis is a unique approach to get and stay there. I am an Argentinian psychoanalyst trained in Freudian and Lacanian analysis, an ABD PhD Candidate and doctoral researcher for the University of Buenos Aires.

As a long time therapist, I know that it usually takes a lot of courage to reach out for help & it can feel so vulnerable to take this first step. I honor this stepping out of your comfort zone into the unfamiliar, so I create felt safety & a close therapeutic connection from the get go. I bring compassion into all my sessions, valuing the client's pace and sense of security as highly as I value my knowledge and experience. It is my belief that it is only in this balance that therapeutic healing can occur.

Comedy Therapy small groups! Are you struggling with feelings of disconnection and isolation? Are you self-critical or perfectionistic and want to work on your self-esteem and sense of self?

Throughout an 8-week experience, group members will develop communication skills, learn to feel more comfortable with taking risks, and practice self-acceptance in a supportive group environment.

Parenting is hard, not because you’re doing it wrong… but because it is! Because Manatee’s focus is strengthening the entire family, we also have a team of parent coaches, to help you become the parent you’re destined to be. During your free consultation, we’ll help you figure out whether coaching, therapy, or both, is the right fit for your family.

You know how it goes. Life gets hard, things happen, and we develop creative strategies to protect ourselves from real, perceived, and/or anticipated threats of suffering. These strategies, accumulated overtime, suddenly seem to shape much of how we interact with the world. Some are useful and their cost outweighs the pain they help avoid. Others seem so random you can’t even tell how they started; although, you suspect they no longer serve you. A third kind are the strategies you don’t know you’re using, their cause, cost or benefits. After a while, you may feel less connected, less whole, and may not feel and experience as deeply.

I provide a safe environment for my clients to find and be the most authentic version of themselves throughout sessions. I view therapy as a catalyst in helping my clients move the needle towards finding their inner acceptance. I show up as both a human and therapist, and strive to have my clients feel seen, heard, and connected. I believe therapy is a space where you feel understood and have your reality/experiences validated in a safe, nonjudgmental and accepting way.

Have you ever felt alone, tokenized, or shamed for being "different"? After so many of these experiences, you start shaming yourself and doubting your worth. Shame is sneaky and it can cause destruction within ourselves. You may not fully believe that you’re lovable, but you want to get there one day. There are many societal forces that keep us from connecting with our inner selves and the world around us. I’m passionate about equipping folks with the tools to navigate racial trauma and the effects of colonialism. I can support you to embrace self-love & confidence by encouraging connection with your authentic self.
