Black and African American Therapists in Denver, CO
You may love each other but feel stuck in the same arguments, miscommunication, or emotional distance. Conversations escalate, issues go unresolved, and over time the relationship can feel exhausting or disconnected. I work with couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface so they can communicate more effectively, rebuild connection, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.

My ideal clients are children, teens, and young adults who feel stuck or silenced by life’s hurdles.

They need a safe, compassionate space where they aren't just a "case," but a person with unique strengths.

If given the choice, most people would naturally strive toward becoming the best version of themselves. Depression, Anxiety, and Chronic stress are common roadblocks that can slow our progress or bring it to a halt altogether. While there are many one-size-fits-all approaches to improving mental health, we know that the most effective therapy requires customizing holistic treatment and lifestyle interventions. I am looking to work with folks who don't just want to cope with symptoms but are ready to overcome them for good.

The adults I support feel torn between cultural or family expectations and their own desires. You’ve followed your family’s or culture’s rules, done everything “right,” and still feel anxious, stuck, and unseen. You second-guess every choice, feel pressure to meet others’ expectations, and wonder if you’re betraying yourself by wanting something different. I work at the nervous system level using Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (aka parts work) to build lasting calm and clarity so you can make decisions that feel right for you. I also offer accessible virtual sessions in both Colorado and Oregon.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their mind, body and environment. If you've dealt with trauma, tumultuous relationships, or adverse childhood experiences, this sense of safety may be unfamiliar. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma associated with childhood abuse/neglect, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. I also have a deep understanding of intersectionality and approach therapy through a culturally responsive lens; taking into consideration the impact of systems of oppression, marginalization and historical/racial trauma. I am dedicated to serving BIPOC and LGBTQ communities!

You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps functioning even under enormous pressure. But internally, you may feel emotionally exhausted, chronically overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Many of the women I work with are navigating complicated family dynamics, emotionally immature relationships, burnout, motherhood transitions, workplace stress, or years of over-functioning in order to keep everything afloat. Together, we identify the patterns, pressures, and relational dynamics impacting your wellbeing so you can build a more aligned and sustainable life.

Breathe....There is an ancient Sanskrit symbol that symbolizes this beautiful reminder to do what comes naturally, breathe. It is the first thing we do when we come into this world, and the last thing we do when we leave it. However, life has a way of showing up and making this simple task harder than it seems. The result is we suffer in silence. Seeking therapy is a difficult decision to make but know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Allow me to walk with you through this journey of discovery and together we will work to build a healthy foundation that will empower you to make positive changes.

If you have been holding everything together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside, you are not alone.
Many of the people I work with are used to being the strong one. The one others rely on. But underneath that strength can be stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and a quiet sense of loneliness that is hard to explain.
Therapy with me is a space where you do not have to perform, fix everything, or have it all figured out. You can show up exactly as you are, messy, uncertain, or overwhelmed, and we will work through it together.

I offer a relational, mind-body approach to healing that recognizes how lived experiences are shaped by systemic oppression, internalized narratives, and survival adaptations. My work is rooted in liberatory, decolonizing, and anti-carceral frameworks, and centers client autonomy, consent, and the wisdom of the body in the healing process. I support neurodivergent clients as well as those navigating complex trauma, dissociation, chronic shame, perfectionism, disorders of overcontrol, and the impact of internalized abuse and neglect.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
