Therapists in Denver, CO

Do you feel lost on your journey? I guide Individuals and professionals struggling with perfectionism and anxiety and people experiencing stress or relationship struggles. I guide people on epic life changing voyages through anxiety, depression, grief, terminal illness, trauma and violence. Expeditions through identity exploration, alternative relationships, major life changes, immigration and addiction. I share navigation skills in helping prevent some of the above. In over twelve years, I have guided hundreds of people along their journey in Spanish or English.

As life progresses, we each encounter difficulties that create ripples in our lives. I aim to create a collaborative space in which to discuss the ways in which clients can experience change and feel empowered. Creating a non-judgemental space is crucial to me within the therapeutic environment, so that exploration of self can occur. I have had extensive clinical experience in identity formation, depression, coping, grief, comorbid mental health diagnoses, and anxiety. I enjoy developing a strong alliance with clients in order to facilitate a sense of growth.

Many of us experience intense emotions without a rule book on how to let it move through us. At a young age, we subconsciously take on stories that stick with us and they can often manifest the way we relate to others, our internal world, and the world around us. Whether it is a story that we internalize of being too much or not enough, I want therapy to be a safe container to explore the stories that may be creating shame or holding us back from our highest potential in life. I believe that therapy can be a space to build the internal tools to be able to better communicate and express emotions.

I have a unique approach for achieving self-acceptance and confidence by getting in touch and learning to trust your inner wisdom. I also have two golden retrievers who are great therapy dogs.

If you're living with 'stuck-ness,' depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, struggling with relationship challenges or experiencing a life transition, I'm eager to meet with you to examine these issues in depth and assist you in feeling more resourced. My hope for our therapeutic relationship is that we're able to create a safe container for you to slow down, let go of what no longer serves you and increase awareness of the interrelationships of the mind, body and spirit. I’m interested in helping you step fully into the uniqueness of who you already are and assisting you in building self love and acceptance.

Living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain can be an invisible, isolating and scary experience. On top of that, the way that our society is structured has all but left these areas out of the realm of psychotherapy and leaves these experiences to the field of medicine alone. If you live with chronic illness or chronic pain, you know firsthand how lacking this model is. In my therapy practice I strive to create space for all aspects of your human experience, while working with you towards the ability to feel safe in your body, access hope and a healthy sense of self, and to transform your suffering into meaning.

The decision to begin therapy requires courage and hope. I know that beginning this journey can feel very vulnerable and overwhelming, that is why I prioritize creating a relationship with each of my clients through authenticity and connection. I strive to create a safe and caring environment where you are able to explore all parts of yourself. Because everyone has their own unique story and background I offer a collaborative approach. I believe that you are the expert of your life and that your own insight and knowledge is so important to the therapeutic process.

Do you want to live life with more openness, lightheartedness and less struggle? Has traditional talk therapy just not worked for you? Do you feel stuck and don’t know what else to do? Are you seeking change to help reclaim your joy, health, and wellbeing? I am here to offer a new way to live your life and guide you on your journey inward through accessing mind, body and spirt for long lasting change. My presence is warm, attentive, and authentic. I will help you to genuinely access what exists inside you to help you become clear and confident in yourself and therefore make effective choices aligned with your true self.

I am an AEDP and Emotionally-Focused therapist working with individual adults on transforming challenges with mood, relationships and trauma into flourishing. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, authentic, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of yourself? Are you trying to gain your footing after a recent life transition? Are you curious about how your past is influencing your present? Is your inner critic in overdrive during this season of life, telling you to "stop being so sensitive!" This is where I come in! You don't have to do this alone.

Change can be scary and challenging for children and adults. We develop many different ways of coping with change, some that are healthy and others that are not. While you are the expert in your own life, I am here to help you (regardless of age) process through change and make life choices that are healthy for you in a safe, non-judgmental space. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, and cultures, as well as different presenting concerns. Working with me, we will explore your life at your pace.

I am a staff therapist at Peregrine Counseling, a non-profit group practice based in Aurora with a mission to make high-end therapy accessible. My training allows me to go beyond talk therapy and work with a wide range of contexts: complex medical conditions; complex or single trauma histories; sex, gender & relationship issues; a desire for enhanced creative, professional or sports performance; grief; practical support with changing habits or careers or negotiating life changes etc. I have training in addictions; I am certified in and now offer ketamine assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration.

Everyone wants to feel better, but I want to know: how does that look for you? My style is compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered, integrating concepts of somatic work, DBT, existential psychotherapy, parts work, EMDR, Neurostimulation and Neurofeedback. I specialize in working with adult survivors of childhood sexual assault, domestic violence, emotional abuse and neglect, grief and loss, and other traumas. My clients are living with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and existential questions.

Throughout my time as a professional, I have grown to understand the significance surrounding connecting childhood learnings and patterns to problems currently arising within my client’s world. I believe we can't change our current situations if we don't know what is driving the behavior or thought process. Starting at the source and establishing patterns and connections is vital in healing, growing, and creating new behaviors and ways of thinking. I often utilize DBT, CBT, attachment theory, and family systems models within the therapy space.

Hello! Thank you for taking time for you! We seek out support in our lives for various reasons. We may be unhappy with patterns in our relationships or we may feel discontent with our life circumstances such as home or work life. Perhaps you are reaching out because life feels like a constant struggle. As a therapist I enjoy creating space for each unique individual. Together we explore what your needs are, as you discover your source(s) of feeling fulfilled, and having an easeful life. I am offering only virtual therapy at this time.

I offer a range of specialty services that generally fall outside the typical categories and tend to use a “whole person” approach to treatment and stabilization, though over the last 10+ years of intensive couple’s and individual work I’ve treated almost everything and welcome all issues large or small, no matter the complexity. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as well as Spiritual Emergence Coaching and meditation training for issues where mental health and spirituality meet. Lastly, I offer specialty testing to precisely identify problems and diagnoses, then use these to best determine what treatment will be most helpful.

You may have something small that you want to explore, or you may have lost a sense of your identity or purpose. Our basic core needs are safety and connection, but these needs are so hard to develop when we don't have a sense of self. If you are struggling in addiction and then also grapple with depression, anxiety, spiritual exploration, sexuality, gender, or sexual orientation, these are directly informed by how you hold space for yourself as a person.

"Play" has always been a place where I feel most alive, whether through physical activity, creativity, or connecting with others. Like so many people, the adventurous culture of Denver stole my heart. My favorite thing to do is play outdoors, preferably with my giant dog and the people I love. I believe that as humans we all crave that sense of playfulness and freedom. I am passionate about supporting others to find their own sense of play to create the life they want. In my practice, I primarily use a modality called Brainspotting. It is the most incredible thing I have ever had the privilege of sharing with my clients.

Are anxiety, depression, and trauma creating roadblocks in your life? Does it feel like there is a disconnect between you and the world around you? It is normal for the trauma stored in your body to create barriers to connection. Unfortunately, these barriers can be incredibly painful and difficult to cope with. You may be experiencing cycles of painful thoughts, days of numbness, or outbursts of anger.
