Medicaid Therapists in Denver, CO

I am a postdoctoral resident and Director of Testing Services offering therapy for adults and psychological assessment for people of all ages. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns and specialize in the treatment of (c)ptsd, phobias, panic, OCD, and anxiety disorders. I am passionate about working with people of diverse genders and sexualities, including those in polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships. I strive to create a space that is body, kink, and sex positive. I am able to provide assessments to receive gender affirming care, and offer testing for ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities, and complex personality/mood concerns.

As individuals traveling through this world, we find that our experiences can be as ugly as they can be beautiful and as challenging as they can be blissful. Navigating our lives can be confusing, scary, and painful. But I believe in an individual's ability to find their own answers, create their own meaning, heal, and even thrive. I view my role as a facilitator of that process. As important as it is to me to incorporate my knowledge of psychology into the therapeutic process, it is equally important to me to simply be a human being in a therapeutic space with another human being.

I am a firm believer that YOU truly are the expert on YOU. My approach to therapy is simple; provide an environment that is safe for YOU to begin exploring problems in your life that you feel influence your ability to find genuine happiness on a day-to-day basis. Our journey focuses on not assuming that the answers are going to be readily available, but appreciating the questions that surface during every session so that in time you can live your way into finding your genuine self. It is through this process that I believe authentic happiness is found!

Every phase of life offers new challenges, uncertainty, and opportunities for growth. I believe in empowering people, treating everyone equally with respect, and know from personal experience how taking a holistic approach with a person is the most effective way of healing. I understand how vital it is to meet each person where they are at and build resilience from within through a person-centered methodology. I know that one instance of feeling value can be life changing and know our true selves need affirmation, encouragement, and validation to be heard and understood.

Ardent Grove is rooted in providing low-cost, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, care. We believe that the work of therapy is done best in a therapeutic relationship where there is warmth, collaboration, and space to be genuinely heard, seen, and honored. Our therapists are selected based not only on their areas of expertise, but on what they have to offer as partners in the therapy process – accessibility, professionalism, non-judgement, creativity, insightfulness, and compassion. We deeply value the courage and effort it takes to come to therapy, and we consider it a privilege to be on this journey with those we serve.

Our need to be understood, for someone else to see the world the way that we are seeing it is one of the most significant need within us. Allow me access to the window from where you are looking at the world, show me your view - let's discuss.

I feel that family connection and communication is the foundation for healthy futures for both adults and adolescents. As a seasoned LCSW in the Denver metro area I have extensive experience in working with youth and families in getting through these challenging experiences and moving towards healthier communication, relationships and futures. I offer in-home family and individual work that addresses issues related to juvenile justice involvement, patterns of oppositional behaviors, school issues, unhealthy relationships and other presenting mental health issues. Family therapy addresses family relationships, parenting skills, communication challenges, and understanding healthy rules, roles and responsibilities.

If you've ever felt like the systems we live in have sapped you of your joy and vitality, you're in good company. Many of us suffer, undeservedly, because our economic, political, and social conditions are out of alignment with basic human wellbeing. In my counseling practice, I seek to help clients reconnect with their intrinsic sense of wellbeing that has been obscured or stolen by these conditions.

Socrates wrote, “A life unexamined is not worth living.” So many of us are faced with challenges that are overwhelming and exhausting. And yet, when we offer ourselves the gift of introspection and support, beautiful things can emerge from our struggle.
