Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Denver, CO

I am passionate about fostering a safe, healing, and empowering environment for those who are experiencing difficult repercussions from trauma, exploitation, and abuse. Your experience may include depression, anxiety, dissociation, substance abuse, relational conflict, grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, low self esteem and more. Every story is unique and the difficulties that stem from trauma can feel overwhelming. This is why I will work compassionately and collaboratively with you to identify your specific needs and goals for therapy.

Negative experiences shape how we think about ourselves, but they don't have to define us forever. We can learn new ways of relating to ourselves and the people around us via a variety of therapeutic modalities. With a therapist who can hold space for you with compassion and wisdom, you can overcome obstacles and cultivate resilient wellbeing. ​ I might be helpful to you if: You know what it is like to feel held back from life, but don’t know how to engage; You crave connection and community, but feel uncomfortable reaching out to others; You feel disconnected from your body – you may not recognize there is a disconnect.

I strongly believe in the human capacity for resilience, healing, and transformation and I am passionate about tailoring therapy to fit the individual and their strengths. Most of all though I genuinely care and invest myself in the people I serve, I have worked with clients experiencing a variety of conditions such as panic disorder, sexual/physical abuse, anxiety/depression, disturbing memories, trauma, stress reduction, and addiction. I am however particularly passionate in providing therapy to the LGBTQ+ community, a population in which individuals are statistically more likely to experience a mental health condition.

Accepting new clients in Colorado and Florida! Do you have things you've been afraid to tell anyone, including a therapist? Do you have "dark thoughts," and maybe you just want it all to stop? You've endured trauma, pain, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe you made some bad choices. You're afraid of being judged, rejected, or your therapist not being able to handle your "stuff". Therapy should be a safe place where you can be your genuine self, and talk about whatever is weighing you down. You deserve a therapist who can listen to and support you with empathy, compassion, and no judgment.

Have you considered a wellness-oriented approach to mental health? You are not your problems. But you might be dealing with a life situation that involves things like stress, trauma, depression, isolation, disconnectedness, confusion, anger, anxiety...loss of meaning. I believe you can benefit from exploring your strengths. This begins with a plan. Do you have a plan for your own wellness? You are the world's expert on this! My goal is to help you understand and act effectively and immediately to achieve centeredness and fulfillment. I am here for you.

Do you struggle to recall happy moments from your childhood? Do you struggle to trust people and simultaneously long for connection? Do you suspect that the abuse you endured in early childhood has triggered an onslaught of personal issues today? Have you been treated for depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, sleep difficulties and relationship conflict only to find yourself stuck with the same issues despite that treatment? Are you spacey, forgetful or easily triggered? You are not alone. When you are ready to process your trauma and reclaim your life, I’m here. You do not need to carry those burdens alone.

Life can be incredibly difficult sometimes. Let's work together to find practical solutions for you and relief from symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, dissociation, childhood trauma, overcoming narcissistic or emotional abuse, non-epileptic seizures (NES), religious trauma, or difficulties coping with complicated grief or major life changes.

Over years of experience, I have discovered that people develop a way of thinking about themselves, others, the world. How we think determines how we experience life. This way of thinking includes negative beliefs that we develop about ourselves. There's really only a handful and they sound something like "I don't matter" or "I'm worthless," "It's never good enough" or maybe "something is wrong with me." These beliefs keep us stuck because they are not just in our heads. They are connected with emotional experiences, often very painful. So even though we know we're worthy, we don't feel worthy.

Do you ever feel like you’re knee deep in…stuff? Now you’re here, shopping for a therapist, which is probably not how you’d like to be spending your time (that Netflix won’t watch itself). Let's be honest, seeing all those letters after someone's name looks impressive but what good is alphabet soup if that person doesn’t “get” you. You need someone who you can be real with, who'll be there with you through "the suck." I'm an AF veteran who's been through “the suck” many times before and am now here to help guide you through this journey.

Life is difficult. No one is exempt from suffering. Together we can assess your current challenges and make a plan to increase your well-being. We will also identify and build on your strengths while offering you new skills. You don't have to do this alone.
