Teen Therapists in Aurora, CO

Hello and welcome. My passion is working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who support them. My connection with adolescents is built on trust, safety, comfort, respect, and understanding, which allows me to create relationships with teens that can be hard fought with other adults. Speaking what can seem to be a foreign language and creating a bridge to families through the translation of that language brings purpose to my work. I have over twelve years of experience working with adolescents and families in different capacities and have dedicated my career to working exclusively with this population.

When viewing therapy as a journey, clients are the one who take the steps and therapists are there to walk alongside them. While on their own journeys, children, adolescents and young adults are striving to develop their distinct sense of self and establish meaningful relationships with those around them. Supporting your child/ teen comes with its own set of stressors that can lead you to feel unsure of what to do next. I believe that our childhood experiences impact how we connect and relate with others as adults. Trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and other life stressors can deeply impact how we make meaning.

With 25 years in clinical practice, I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of psychotherapy to improve self confidence and self esteem, to develop more fulfilling relationships and to set one's life course in a positive direction for the future. I try to not only help my clients find relief from bothersome symptoms but also to help get to the root of the problem that has brought them into therapy. In this way the therapy has a deeper and longer-lasting effect as clients learn how to free themselves from problematic patterns from the past and live more fully in the present.

Are you a parent who has found that managing your teen 's emotions, behaviors and school performance a bigger challenge than you thought? Are you seeking support on how to set appropriate healthy boundaries while still maintaining a loving relationship with others? Are you wondering how to improve your situation? I can help you by exploring the challenges you are facing and empower you, to reconnect with yourself and others. We will explore the past but focus on the present to plan for a better future. If you are desiring change and are willing to make change, together we can figure out how.

Do you need more of a sense of connection with others in your life? Are you looking for more balance and more skill in asserting your needs? Are you struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, or insecurity? Therapy can help! I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them strengthen bonds with those most important to them. At the start of therapy, I believe it is critical to experience a good fit with your therapist in an environment that is safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative. This important connection starts the process of building deeper bonds with others.

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME* Many kids and adults struggle in the traditional model of talk therapy. Trauma, anxiety and depression can sometimes make connecting with a therapist intimidating and exhausting. I offer animal-assisted therapy, mindfulness practices, and expressive arts to individuals who have tried it all and have been frustrated with their results or maybe just desire the comfort of an animal during sessions. My warm, compassionate, collaborative, and easy-going approach allows you to relax, trust, and feel safe enough to explore the difficult aspects of your life so healing can begin.

Throughout my time as a therapist, what I have admired most about working with clients has been their resilience and tenacity.
