Bisexual Therapists in Broomfield County, CO

You expect a lot of yourself, and when you struggle to keep up, you feel guilty and your inner critic pulls out the megaphone. Even when you have some time to relax, you find yourself focusing on all the other shit you "should" be doing. Maybe you want more from life and you're not sure what that looks like or how to make it happen, and you want your inner critic to quiet down and take a day off (or two!) I offer traditional "talk therapy" as well as Brainspotting, which is a bottom-up approach to treating trauma, performance anxiety, and other concerns.

I primarily work with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folx, women, as well as people from other marginalized communities, with a focus on healing from complex PTSD from chronic childhood/developmental trauma. People who experience societal oppression and/or complex PTSD are at high risk for many mental health struggles, including a persistent sense of not belonging in the world, anxiety, depression, and self-medicating with substances. I support individuals in finding personal freedom through the cultivation of compassion, awareness, and understanding.

Do you find the state of the world overwhelming, or question your purpose in life? Are you exhausted from fighting with your partner, but don't want to give up on the love you share? Or maybe, your family is having a hard time coping with a member coming out LGBT+? Whatever unique challenges you're facing, it's important to me to contribute to creating an atmosphere where you feel welcomed and comfortable to share what's going on. My goal is to collaborate with you to make the changes you desire more manageable.

Life is complex. It can be difficult to gain clarity as to what we want... what we need... where we want to go. The human experience is unique, which is why I approach counseling with openness, authenticity, acceptance, and radical presence to join those seeking to expand awareness and make meaningful change in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

My work with clients supports their emotional and relational well-being by exploring what gets in their way from living the way they desire. I weave extensive experience in working with complex trauma with systems work - exploring the ways in which the context we are surrounded by, deeply impacts our ability to live an embodied life. My clients often come to me because they have been to therapy before and are looking for a direct approach that supports them in moving out of pure awareness, and into embodied living. Embracing the present moment while moving towards change.

Experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma take a massive toll on our lives and relationships, often leaving us feeling out of control, disconnected, and dissatisfied. However, I believe that healing is not only possible, but is something that we are naturally moving toward, even when it doesn't feel that way. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can reconnect to that natural impulse toward healing.

Are you ready to break down that wall and finally connect to the world around you? To live without painful memories and emotional flashbacks? Trauma - especially complex trauma - affects everything: your humanity, your identity, your ability to thrive. My clients often experience a negative self-image, depression, severe emotional ups and downs, and a near-constant sense of dread. Worst of all, they feel like they don’t know themselves and can’t relate to other people. This is not surprising considering my clients usually have a history of childhood abuse and/or neglect exacerbated by boundary violations in adulthood.

The work I do with clients is rooted in the belief that connecting with all of the parts that make us who we are and forming meaningful relationships with our surrounding community (both human and non-human) can help us find solid ground in times of stress, trauma, and challenging life transitions. I specialize in helping children, teens and young adults develop the skills to find nervous system regulation, form healthy attachments, and build skills to manage anxiety and depression. I predominantly (and not exclusively) work with folks in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, believing that every body deserves a caring space to heal and restore

Your thoughts are racing-examining what you did, or could have done, wondering if you are over-thinking the situation. You try to pretend everything is okay but deep down there is a nagging feeling that something is off. So you work on doing all of the right things, trying to fix yourself, trying to improve, but the feeling inside doesn't change. You may even over-perform in attempt to prove to yourself and the world that you are worthy. But the feeling lingers. Many of my clients have had similar struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, trauma histories, or difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships.

If you have come to this site. . . remember to breathe. . . in a way that you know you are breathing. . . I remind myself of this on a regular basis. . . There is more to you than you might think. . . Therapy is an invitation to re-discover a compassionate, curious, and wise energy that was always within you, but blocked by well-intentioned and sometimes extreme parts of you. I believe you deserve some sense of how I work. I also believe a good therapist continues to do their own work. . . which is why I meditate and meet regularly with trusted colleagues and we literally take turns being therapist and client with each other.

Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with. Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Do any of the following resonate with you? You fight all the time with your partner. Your energy levels are at an all time low. You feel dread, fear, strange thoughts, and a pounding heart. You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed. It is possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...Control how you respond to anxious thoughts. Get to the root of problems and solve them instead of using band-aids. Have the loving relationships you've always wanted.

Are you ready to heal from past painful experiences or traumas, or struggling with a present situation that you want to change? Are you suffering from depression? I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental presence and skillful support to help you work through these challenges and reclaim a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. As a committed and experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s Degree in Mindfulness Based Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our work together.

If you are facing challenges of living outside of the cultural norm, I can help! Navigating identity and relational challenges can be extra complex when you are non-monogamous, kinky, trans, or queer. Together, we will identify what is important to you, and explore ways of being that support healing and living authentically. As a nonbinary, queer, polyamory-positive, kink-aware, trauma-informed professional, I can offer a unique perspective for those of us who exist outside of traditional roles.

You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship. You've been trying on your own, but the problems in your relationship feel stuck, like they're just not going anywhere. You find yourself and your partner getting upset and reacting in the same old unhelpful ways over and over, but just don't know how to find your way back to authentic, loving intimacy. You're scared there might not be a way back. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can reclaim the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing, and find a way out of the same old fights and back into being in love.

Pregnancy and postpartum life can feel daunting, lonely, and overwhelming. The expectations put onto mothers to feel "overjoyed" and have it all together often leaves new or expectant moms feeling shamed into silence that "something must be wrong with me" for feeling afraid, lost, depressed, or missing their old self/life/relationship with their partner. This is the most vulnerable time in a person's life. You are not crazy. It is hard. You get to make your well being a priority. The core of my work lies in supporting women in all stages of life.

It is your right as a human being to have fruitful, loving, and supportive relationships with others and yourself. Often, we are brought out of alignment with this truth. We come to believe that we are not deserving of love and kindness or that others are incapable of giving us these things. Therapy provides a connected space for us to explore our needs & desires, our fears & hopes. I work mostly with: LGBTQ+, non-monogamy and polyamory, relationship work, conflict resolution, gender identity and transition, queer clients, infidelity & affairs, sex and intimacy, gender-affirming care referral letters.

I believe that we are all born on this planet as whole, worthy human beings. I also believe that our various lived experiences — including trauma in all its forms — can have a big impact on our beliefs about ourselves and the ways we show up in the world. As a therapist, my goal is to help you get back in touch with your most authentic Self and uncover whatever it is that's preventing you from living your most joyful life. I work from a person-centered, collaborative, and integrative perspective, offering a non-judgmental space for clients to explore all parts of themselves.

Care and support are essential for living a full life, but support can present itself in many ways. Maybe you are seeking better coping skills, the resources to develop better boundaries or deal with conflict in a healthier way, or maybe you are simply seeking someone to listen and allow you the space to grow into the person that you want to be. I work with each client with the understanding that they have their own struggles and own way of needing support so that they can begin their journey to health and happiness. My approach is strengths-based, integrative, and inclusive.

Do you feel empty, disconnected, ashamed, or like no one truly understands you? Difficult, traumatic, and challenging experiences are a normal part of being human and can cause us to end up feeling alone and isolated. I believe in the healing power of connection, where being truly seen, heard, and accepted by another empowers you to find a sense of wholeness and true acceptance of self. Through creating a collaborative, safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space, my goal is to walk with you into true connection with yourself and others, and to find a sense of deep resonance and healing within your heart and soul.
