Aetna Therapists in Broomfield, CO

I work with adults, couples and older adolescents (16+) who are coping with a wide variety of life challenges including depression, anxiety, acute or chronic illness, physical pain, caregiver stress, sleep difficulties, relationship strain, divorce, trauma, role changes, life transitions, grief and loss. I also have extensive experience in medical social work, palliative care, and facilitating difficult end-of-life planning discussions.

Welcome! It can feel daunting to reach out for help, and you have taken the first step towards healing just by being here. Are you struggling with managing stress, anxiety, depression, or low self esteem? Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or utterly exhausted. You want to feel better but don't know where to begin. I offer an open and supportive environment where you can explore your values, desires and strengths. I utilize a client centered and strength based approach to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, increase positive coping skills, and strengthen self-awareness to lead a more purposeful life.

I believe that each of us possesses our own capacity to heal. And when we deepen our connection and understanding of ourselves and the world around us, we are better able to access the parts of us from which we draw strength, peace, and joy. Together we will explore the sources of difficult emotions and long held beliefs that have interfered with your ability to walk your unique life’s path to self-actualization, fulfillment, and purpose.

Our mission is to make getting mental health care the norm. And while we know that going to therapy and being vulnerable with someone you just met can seem scary, we do everything we can to make each session as comfortable and fun as possible. We aim to walk along this journey with you and provide you with a safe place to talk, decompress, and heal.
