Therapists in Northwest, Denver, CO

If you have the desire or goal of wanting to feel more in control, secure, and at ease in your life, I have a passion for helping you get there. I know it is not simple, nor should it ever have to be done alone. It can be difficult, and sometimes disheartening, to even start the process to find a therapist, so when we meet, it is really important to me that we ensure you have just as much of a role and input in our work together as I do so that we can collaborate and make our time together feel productive and the right fit for you. I do specialize in working with medical professionals, specifically physicians and medical trainees.

Clients come to me feeling stuck, alone, scared, insecure and overwhelmed, not good enough. My clients walk away from me with more confidence, more clarity of who they are and what they need, more deeply attached in healthy relationships, with more ease and balance in life, more able to face life’s challenges with a sense of possibility and hope. Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

Counseling can be the first step for many to start making a positive change for the rest of their lives. I currently perform individual and family counseling to children, adolescents and young adults. I specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults struggling with racial identity and experiencing systemic discrimination. My treatment addresses challenges with depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, multicultural issues, family concerns, anger and behavioral management, and trauma for individuals 10 years and older.

Just a few years ago I was caught up in a cycle of self-doubt, shame, and failure. I was early on in adulthood and already I felt completely worn out; convinced my life would end in ruins. Eventually I was able to seek counseling, and this became a major factor in helping me find a new sense of hope and freedom. I became a counselor out of a desire to share this gift with others. I seek to create a safe space where my clients can find new hope in their journey. When you walk into my office, I want you to know that you are welcome here; you belong, and you matter.

Too many of us live each day with a lack of contentment, a nagging sense of stress and disconnection, but this does not have to become the norm for you. If you are ready to take the leap and desire a holistic approach to change, I can help you to cultivate the satisfying life you desire. While I enjoy working with a variety of individuals, I specialize in helping adults suffering from anxiety and relational dissatisfaction to find peace. Above all I provide an environment where you will feel safe and seen, so you can process your own unique pain and ultimately find healing.

You may have learned that sweeping challenges under the rug was a reasonable way of dealing with uncomfortable feelings, like sadness, loneliness, and shame. And yet, while you may feel better at first, you couldn’t help but notice that the same feelings emerge again and again. If you are in a committed relationship, you may feel exhausted noticing that the same conflicts recur with your partner(s), leading to frustration or apathy. These issues can cause you to have a difficult time trusting yourself and your intuition, leave you feeling disconnected, and make you question how to move forward to create a life with more purpose.

My therapy style is warm, dynamic and open. I believe in holding space for your growth and potential to unfold, and in treating every human I work with with the utmost respect. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered modalities, psychodynamic and systems theories. Every person is unique, and I tailor my practice to best suit your needs. You've taken the first step by looking into your options for therapy. It takes courage and commitment to get to this point. When you are ready to take the next step, I am here to support and empower you. Your journey is in the process of unfolding and I hope to be able to support.

I am working towards my clinical licensure in Colorado as a resident clinician with Centus Counseling. I am passionate about serving traditionally underserved individuals and communities of all ages, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. I work with a trauma-informed lens that is person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I offer a nonjudgmental, safe space for collaboration together to help individuals find their authentic self. I recognize that the process towards self-empowerment is not easy, and that small steps can lead to large changes that help one move from survival mode to thriving.

I am inspired by the resilience of the human condition- the ability to overcome, grow, flourish and build a rich, full and meaningful life. And, wow- is it hard work! Resilience is my favorite word, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone because it is earned in the deepest, darkest challenges of our lives. It is my goal to partner with individuals on their ever-evolving journey of self-actualization.

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities & imperfections so we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, & connection that we need to recognize that we are enough - that we are worthy of love, belonging & joy? Life's transitions can be very anxiety provoking & scary -- even those that should be happy transitions, such as starting a family or a new job! My goal is to assist my clients to become skilled at how to navigate these transitions utilizing a blend of techniques and a large dose of humor!

I believe that therapy should be collaborative and will use a person centered and strengths based approach to helping you establish your goals and work toward healing. I combine my experience of working with individuals and families with my knowledge and passion for different evidence-based practices to help my clients achieve their goals. I find that therapy can best serve us when we are open to being challenged to meet our goals and held accountable in working to break patterns that no longer serve us.

Do you feel alone in intimate relationships, repeating destructive patterns you would like to change? Are you feeling cut off from your creativity or struggling to find meaningful direction in life? Are you successful in the world but sense something deeper is missing? My focus is helping you improve your quality of life through connecting with inner strengths, reclaiming parts of yourself that have been left behind. I work with couples and professionals - often in life and career transitions, frequently in tech, law, medicine, and mental heath.

Hello! As a licensed professional counselor candidate, we’ll work together to find an inner sense of balance in your life. Sometimes, that looks like practicing mindfulness or utilizing somatic tools to manage challenging internal states–anxiety, depression, grief or sadness. Other times, that may look like exploring the intricacies of a difficult situation or relationship. Ultimately, the goal is to come back to a sense of joy.
