Substance Use Therapists in Denver, CO

It can be scary when you first realize that your alcohol or drug use has gotten out of control, or when a loved one's use is starting to affect you in negative ways. You see how drug and alcohol use can impact different areas of your life, including things like your job and your relationships with your friends and family. Reaching out for help for the first time can be difficult, fearing that once you share the truth with someone you will be given nothing but judgment in return.

Whether it be substance use , relationship orientation and desires, grief, issues of depression and anxiety, or something else that is bothering you, I hope to co-create a journey in which you can allow yourself to let down, reflect, and gain skills to change the aspects of your life that you want to see improve or shift. *I believe access to mental health care should be a basic human right and provide reduced fee services, please inquire.*

No matter if you are struggling with problems related to substance use , stress management, relationships, grief and loss, mental health or trauma; I am willing to walk beside you each step of the way. My approach includes integration of mindfulness practice with interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to best address your specific needs. I have worked with a wide variety of individuals and believe strongly in the healing power of meditation and movement in conjunction with talk-therapy.

I offer individual therapy for women and parents who are looking to dive deeper into why their lives aren’t currently working for them. I enjoy working with people recovering from traumatic events, unhealthy or abusive relationships, or substance use disorders/addictions. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment therapy and EMDR frameworks and techniques to help you create a life more aligned with your values in a non-judgmental, warm and welcoming environment.

Over the last 13 plus years I have specialized in treating clients struggling with substance use and trauma. I have spent the majority of my career working in treatment facilities that address substance use whether they were residential, extended care or outpatient and I enjoy working with those who report concerns related to their use of a substance(s) and report other "underlying concerns" such as a history of trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, etc. I've been trained in EMDR and spent several years working with young adults, women, and even professionals. Codependency and family work is also an area of expertise of mine.

My passion is working with couples to positively impact their relationship and find new ways of communicating with each other, and I have found that using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is an exceptional tool to address attachment in family systems. I have also been fortunate enough to expand my experience into addressing substance use and the impact that it can have on not only the individual, but the entire family. Regardless of who is part of the family system, my goal is to help you reach your goals.

I believe you are a capable and whole person who may be stuck or struggling against the unrealistic expectations of our daily lives. I understand the importance of having someone who cares about you and can guide you through processing life’s greatest challenges. I offer a caring and affirming place for you to build on your unique strengths and honor your values to create greater wellbeing and healing. I enjoy collaborating with individuals ages teens through older adults to improve overall wellness for themselves and in their relationships.

You’ve taken the first step. You’ve started the intimidating, and sometimes frustrating, process of reaching out for help. Maybe you are walking around with a weight on your shoulders, not feeling like yourself, or exploring wondering who you are and who you want to be. You don’t have to struggle to get by day-to-day hoping it will one day be better. Better can start sooner than you think. My four years of experience working with mental health and substance use concerns has taught me to be an authentic, non-judgmental counselor who offers a compassionate, thought-provoking environment.

I help men and women dealing with trauma and substance use disorders/addiction to heal, recover, and create fulfilling lives. I have clinical background and experience empowering clients to overcome a wide variety of challenging issues including anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/addiction, depression, grief, and involvement with the criminal justice system. Although I don't believe it's a necessary for effective psychotherapy, I enjoy incorporating a client's sense of spirituality into treatment if that is of interest to them.
