Bisexual Therapists in Broomfield, CO

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.

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

My practice centers around the belief that every individual has the power to make dynamic change in their life... and the work we do together is just the catalyst to finding your most authentic, resilient self. I show up as both a human and therapist, and do not empathize a power hierarchy with my clients. My dedication is to move you towards your goals through compassion and mutuality, while celebrating the progress you've made along the way. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore your core values and consider ways to integrate them into daily life.

Are you living the life you want to live? Are current or past life stressors impacting your emotional well being? My intention as a helping professional is to get to know you and what you desire in life. Then we can work together to co-create a path towards healing and growth that honors who you are within your intersectional identities. Movement and change is possible in your emotional life with the skills to help you integrate your present moment experience.

Do you ever feel like whatever normal is, it just isn’t you? Do you feel like you need to diminish yourself in order to “get along”? Or maybe like you are always getting in your own way? I believe that people are on an ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth. My passion is to help you tune in to the “you” that feels most true, and practice living with intention. I work with teens and young adults around issues of ADHD and anxiety, gender and sexual identity, open relationships and healthy boundaries, and navigating a changing world.

Each of us deserves to know what it feels like to be supported, especially during life's challenges, as we each have our own unique journey with the capacity for growth and healing. I will work with you to create a space that allows you to feel empowered, supported, and validated on your journey towards healing and self-actualization, with a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. I am fully invested in my client’s well-being and process and create a team dynamic to help you reach your goals.

You want to be loved and experience pleasure, but getting there can be difficult. Many of my clients find that a lot of areas in their relationships and life are going well, and that can make the stuck areas all the more frustrating. You might have found googling (as I like to call "WebMDing) or searching for solutions yourself only make things worse, feel more awkward or get you even more into your head. While you may feel like a failure, or broken, or like it's all your fault, you have only done your best with what you know, which is all we can do. And, that's where working with me comes in!

It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

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.

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.

*IN-STATE TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE* You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship. 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.

Are you wanting to heal from past painful experiences or traumas, or struggling with a present situation that you want to change? Are you suffering from depression or anxiety? 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.

Whether you are working through anxiety, trauma, or need specialized support as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I would like to support you on your journey.

Often I'm drawn to working with folks who have an old storyline running through their head that says things like, "I'm too much" or "I'm not enough", and "If I could just be [fill in the blank] then I could be [fill in the blank]". Sound familiar? My role is supporting you on getting clear on what old storylines are holding you back, where your 'stuckness' lives in your body, and bringing you home to yourself. In short, I am not here to fix you, but to support you in resolving past traumas, recognizing your patterns, and creating space for your unique empowerment to take shape.

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.

It is your right as a human being to have fruitful, loving, and supportive relationships—with other people, as well as with 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 not capable of giving these things to us. Therapy provides a connected space for us to explore our needs, desires, and ambitions. When we are given this opportunity to express ourselves and our preferences without judgment, great healing, excitement, and truth can become possible.
