Medicaid Therapists in Denver, CO
Many parents reach out when their child is struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, social challenges, or regulation difficulties. I work with highly sensitive and neurodivergent children ages 3–12 and their families. I create a warm, supportive space where children feel safe to be themselves while helping parents better understand and support their child’s unique needs. Together, we build stronger connection, confidence, and emotional resilience.

I accept Anthem, Cigna, Kaiser, Medicaid, UMR, and United Healthcare (including Medicare Advantage).
I work with young adults navigating anxiety and concerns about their relationship with alcohol. Many appear high functioning on the outside, managing school, work, or social expectations, while internally feeling stretched thin or stuck in overthinking. Drinking may offer short-term relief, yet it feels unsustainable. They are looking for clarity and a healthier, more intentional way to cope.

I truly believe that every individual is capable of change but sometimes needs a different perspective and one that stands side by side to support them through their healing. It can be hard when there are generational aspects passed down that have never been challenged and looked at thoroughly. In our work together we look to challenge different beliefs and behaviors that may be standing in the way of progression toward being the best individual that one can be. I believe that the more we focus inward than outward, that is where we will find everything that we need, and once our internal state changes our external world does too.

That calling led me to art therapy, where self-expression, mindfulness, and compassion intersect. If you live with neurodivergence, anxiety, or the burnout that comes from managing overwhelming demands, you likely feel like the world doesn’t fit the way your brain works. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed.

You may feel stuck — repeating the same struggles without fully understanding why. These patterns might show up in your relationships, your work, or how you see yourself. Beneath the surface, you may feel torn between conflicting parts of yourself, weighed down by anxiety or shame. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found some relief, but not the lasting change you were hoping for. In our work together, I’ll help you understand the deeper patterns and unconscious dynamics that keep you feeling trapped — so you can finally move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self.

Working with me is pretty straightforward: whatever you need to do is what we will do. If you’re not yet sure what that is, that’s ok too. I mainly operate from a solution focused realm where we can collaborate on how to get you functioning in a realistically better place. I don’t believe therapy is a magic wand that one waves over a client where you don’t know what’s going on. You’re the expert on your own life, culture, and existence. I’m here to support that because your lived experience is what matters.

Sometimes, we’re too close to our own struggles to understand how different parts of our lives are connected or how our past experiences are impacting us now. If you're feeling stuck or unsure I can help you identify those hidden patterns and work with you to make the changes you want to see. I work with adults and adolescents aged 13 and older who are dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and gender identity, including those experiencing gender transition.

To be human is not for the faint of heart. My core values—integrity, humor, self-knowledge, growth, and compassion—guide my approach to counseling. Individuals and couples who connect with my style are often those seeking deeper openness and vulnerability with themselves and each other. I am a good fit for those who have difficulty opening up, who might feel constrained by societal expectations, and are seeking a space where they can be seen authentically, reclaim power, learn to connect to others, and explore their emotions without judgment.

You don’t have to hold it all together. I support children, teens, young adults, and families navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, and recovery from self-harm or substance use. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive—rooted in EMDR, DBT, and family systems work. Clients say I bring clarity and compassion to hard conversations. If you're looking for a therapist who “gets it” and creates space for real healing, I’d be honored to walk with you.

My work as a therapist is also dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals, children, teens, adults, educators, and helping professionals experiencing anxiety, trauma, burnout, emotional overwhelm, attention difficulties, grief, life transitions, and nervous system dysregulation. Many clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, stuck, or disconnected. Through compassionate, culturally responsive counseling, EMDR, LENS Neurofeedback, and Bio-Regulation Therapy (BRT), I help clients build resilience, regulate their nervous systems, and move toward greater balance, healing, and wellness.

Many situations in life can be difficult, causing us stress and challenging us emotionally. In my experience, individuals can overcome struggles and decrease stress by recognizing their emotions and increasing their ability to cope in future situations. To encourage positive change and a balanced life, I focus on the individual's strengths. I provide support for individuals as they go through life transitions and stressors, past and present traumas, grief and loss, and recovery from substance use. I work with therapists who provide EMDR therapy, including Spanish-speaking clinicians and others who specialize in working with teens.

That feeling—when your body is tense, your chest carries a weight you can't name, and the world keeps spinning even though you feel stuck. Whether you’re navigating an old trauma, a difficult life transition, or a quiet addiction, you want to heal, but part of you wonders if it’s possible for someone like you.
As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe that to truly heal, we have to honor the whole person—your mind, body, and the world you live in. I create a safe space where you don't have to shrink or translate yourself. Healing happens here, on your terms.

The areas which I tend to focus on in my practice include relationship dynamics, mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma. Regarding relationships, I work with couples dynamics, family of origin issues, and unhealthy patterns of interpersonal functioning. One area I work with a great deal is narcissistic abuse, whether it was a relationship with a parent or partner. I believe it is important to help clients develop coping skills in order to promote mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Additionally, I think it can be important to help clients modify thoughts which may keep them in unhealthy patterns of functioning.
