EMDR Therapists in Arvada, CO

It takes courage to ask for help and seek out a therapist. Thank you for stopping by my profile. I believe that it is in relationship with others that we find healing from past and present hurts and that therapy is a wonderful way to make space for this healing. My counseling background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as families. My clients' goals often include wanting to understand why they "do what they do" in their lives and relationships, as well as how they can improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Emotions impact and affect the body causing us to hold them on a physical level. I work with the mind-body connection, utilizing mindfulness techniques, Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback, EMDR , breath work, and meditation, viewing the body as a whole to address trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. As a somatic therapist, I combine these techniques to help clients become aware of trauma stored in the body, and work to resolve the trauma and empower the client. I engage the wisdom of the body to heal trauma, depression and anxiety, and move through life transitions by unifying the mind-body connection.

Are you confused about why you are feeling the way you are feeling? Do you wish things were different? Are you feeling disconnected from others or yourself? Current neuroscience and research tells us that about 90 to 95 percent of the way we think, feel, and act is unconscious and automatic. In my practice, I help people understand why they are acting, feeling, and thinking they are so they can begin change their internal reality. I partner with my client’s to educate and empower them to understand themselves better so they can begin to live more intentionally and pursue their passions in meaningful ways.

The life you dream of dreams of you too. Do experiences of depression and anxiety hold you to a narrative that no longer suits you? Do you feel lost and overwhelmed by the ever-changing external pressures of work, school, and other events that life loves to throw at us? Is your life understimulating, and you find yourself just going through the motions without ever genuinely enjoying the present? Do you want to live a life that feels fulfilling? Do you want to cultivate deeper relationships with others and yourself? Do you want to feel like you have the power to make your wildest dreams come true? You deserve it all

Serving Individuals, Families, Couples, Adolescents > 15 years, and older Adults. Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Basic trained in EMDR and certified in Mind/Body Medicine.

I respectfully focus on the uniqueness of each individual and how they are experiencing themselves in the present moment, rather than what they have been told in the past. I am a trauma informed therapist, specializing in working with grief, loss, trauma and life transitions. My professional experience includes working in an inpatient psychiatric setting with adults with trauma, substance abuse and chronic mental health issues, working with adult survivors of childhood trauma and working as a bereavement counselor in hospice.

I am currently taking insurance and private pay. I have my therapy dog during my sessions. I have worked with clients though a variety of issues including emotional regulation, depression, divorce, anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD/trauma, grief, coping skills, peer relationships, and school-related issues.

As humans, we innately desire to be connected to and understood by others. For many, connection feels terrifying, confusing, and unsafe. I can help you create and foster a life with fulfilling relationships, with others & with yourself. I specialize in helping folks, who are struggling within relationships, reclaim their spark and inner wisdom, and thrive now. My goal is to help you find bravery & empowerment so that your authentic self drives your actions rather than fear. Stop pushing people away. Heal the root of feeling alone, misunderstood, unloveable, and out of place. Create powerful community and deep meaning in your life.

There comes a time in life when you need additional support...specifically, professional support from someone who not only has therapeutic experience but also has significant life experience. Over the years, I have helped many people discover real relief, peace, resilience, strength and healing that comes from facing and processing unimaginable pain due to the loss of a loved one, a relationship, trauma or episodes of anxiety. I help people address the "yuk" in their lives and transform their pain as they develop a new life narrative that is full of meaning, perspective and hope. Let me help you discover your better tomorrow!

Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

Our badass team helps clients reclaim the joy in their relationships, schooling and careers and go from struggling to thriving. Our clients go from faking their way and just getting through the day to becoming the shining authentic beings they are meant to be. Perhaps you have survived, now it is time to shine. We have an amazing team of folks ranging from clinical interns to senior therapists, but we all specialize in helping clients dive deep and share tools that allow clients to sustain measurable and meaningful change. We accept CCHA Medicaid which is often the state Medicaid assigned to Jeffco and Boulder Counties.

We all have times when it might help to have someone to talk with. Having those deep therapeutic conversations can help us make sense of life, break patterns, and to generally improve ourselves and our quality of life. If you've been feeling stressed, down, or overwhelmed, I can help you find your center. I tend to focus on our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves. This creates a foundation for our wellbeing. I create a healing, accepting environment with the ultimate goal of helping you become the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself possible.
