Lesbian Therapists in Jefferson Park, Denver, CO

Weary from hard experiences and tense relationships? Feeling like you are stuck and have no direction? Therapy can be a courageous space to loosen the grip of life's sufferings and hang-ups. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that invites you to share your untold stories of hardship. By sitting and processing together, we can collaborate on ways for you to reach your goals and bring life to the heavy areas of your heart. I seek to honor your courage, process, and trust by integrating therapeutic approaches that meet your specific needs.

Are you struggling with the effects of trauma, grief, loss, or stigma or are your relationships struggling? What would your life be like a year from now if you were still struggling without improvement or attempting to heal? Wouldn’t it be better to start the healing process now? How might your life be better?

As a therapist, my focus is on empowering children and adults, and helping them achieve long-lasting change. I have worked with people from various communities and populations, and I understand that each individual has their own unique set of challenges and goals. I believe that everyone has the ability to thrive, and I am committed to helping my clients tap into their strengths. A strength-based approach can allow for the opportunity to identify successes, reestablish healthy patterns and learn new ways to deal with everyday life. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for clients to share.

I am passionate about helping support my clients in their process of self-discovery and healing. I have a holistic approach and deeply value intersectionality. I believe that through the support of counseling we can experience liberation, self-acceptance and belonging that will lead to meaningful and healthy relationships. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and inclusive space for clients to address challenges they are facing and to inspire the process of self-exploration and growth.

I often hear my clients say, “I wish I had started therapy sooner!” That doesn’t have to be you. Is therapy hard at times? Absolutely! It’s also an extremely rewarding personal growth opportunity that many define as “Life-Changing.” For over a decade, I’ve helped clients thrive personally & professionally as they learn to heal/manage: 1) Mental Health 2) Self-Confidence 3) Imposter Syndrome and 4) Relationships. Through experience gained in the US & abroad, I’ve developed a therapeutic style described as empowering, collaborative & interactive. I truly believe each client is HUMAN, & not their symptoms, life stressors, or illness.

Finding the right words at the right time in relationships is tricky. Sometimes in the middle of an argument, when it matters most, words just aren’t there or they come out all wrong. You may find yourself freezing in panic or fleeing to the other room to prevent saying something you don’t mean. Sometimes, the fear of repeating past experiences paralyzes and it’s really hard to imagine ever getting past those memories. Whether you’re looking for couples therapy or individual therapy, you’re in the right place!

You may be struggling with anxiety and/ or a traumatic experience; it can be debilitating. You may feel alone and worried about whether or not you will ever have relief. Oftentimes, you might feel isolated from those you care for; feel lost and uncertain; unsure if you can have a quality life. You can navigate this with a therapist who is able to build a strong therapeutic relationship anchored in trust and safety. I have been able to help many as they embark upon a journey of health addressing some of their greatest fears in order to improve their standard of life and grapple with the anxiety and trauma holding them back.

The anxieties and worries that constantly invade our mind can be incredibly difficult to live with. We often respond to this by either trying to be superficially positive and “pushing through” or we become regularly overwhelmed by waves of anxiety, panic and chronic stress. If you’ve gotten to a point where the frustration and anguish of anxiety, disruption of sleep and ineffective ways of dealing with those things have reached a crisis point, let’s work together on coming up with new, more effective responses that can tangibly change and improve your life in an ongoing and ultimately fulfilling way.

Through support and encouragement, everyone can have the ability to create positive change and find a balance in their lives. A strength-based approach can allow for the opportunity to identify successes, reestablish healthy patterns and learn new ways to deal with everyday life. Together, we can create goals that you or your child hope to achieve.

Whatever brought you to this page, chances are you're feeling stuck, confused, misunderstood, or at odds with someone you love. There is hope. By seeking help, you're already making things better. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Hypnotherapist. I work with individuals, couples and families using a combination of approaches to help heal your relationship with yourself and with the people you're close to. Let's collaborate to create realistic and achievable goals, measuring our progress along the way. Let's talk specifically about what you want so we can get you there.

I take a somewhat novel approach to therapy, and I work best with individuals experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety due to anxiety disorders, life transitions, trauma and relationship issues. I work to help people in high stress careers overcome anxiety, lead a more productive life, and make room for the important relationships that provide a sense of meaning. I enjoy working with people who are motivated to change, but feel stuck and do not know exactly where to start.

Therapy is a space for you, the entire you. It is a space for finding joy among the chaos, and for speaking your truth, perhaps for the first time. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or life transitions such as gender exploration, work-life balance, or achievement pressure, I am here to help. As part of therapy, we will creatively explore how to step out of your comfort zone, while also taking good care of yourself. Choosing to change is scary, and worth it. You’re not in this alone.

Sexual intimacy is an important component of human connection, and feeling stuck in recurring patterns of conflict, shame, or feeling misunderstood can have a significant impact on relationships, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. As a sex therapist with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I understand how difficult it can be to navigate these sensitive topics with yourself and with partners. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you are able to disrupt cycles of conflict, strengthen intimacy and communication skills, and deepen understanding of wants, needs, and desires.

Do you feel like it's impossible to have healthy loving relationships? When this happens, we can feel unlovable, broken, alone, and unable to heal and move forward. We want to provide a space to heal, to understand what led to your relationship issues, and how to prevent them in the future. Whether relationships have always felt difficult or you are experiencing a difficult relationship for the first time, we will work together to understand your past, current relationship patterns, and how to make changes towards healthy relationships.

I believe that while we cannot always control the challenges life deals us, we can control how we react to them. Oftentimes we find ourselves stuck as we are confronted with unique challenges or our ways of dealing with lifelong challenges are no longer effective. My goal is to collaborate with and empower you to meet these challenges productively, become unstuck, and create lasting changes. I am passionate about working with adults experiencing a variety of concerns including ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, issues of self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and stress.

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable. My clients often laugh as much as they cry or express anger, and I think that's important in the business of healing. What do you want to heal? Is there something about your relationship with a loved one that feels uncomfortable or unsafe? Do you need a non-judgmental space to help you figure out what you want or who you are?

My practice and process are centered around the idea that everyone has struggles, and no one's struggles are greater than anyone else's. I often work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, family dynamics, and PTSD. Thank you for considering me as a therapist with whom you may want to work. Starting therapy can be scary, but I have seen the benefits of it for countless people. Be proud of yourself for seeking guidance in a difficult time.
