UMR Therapists in Denver, CO

Our stories do not define us, but they are a part of us. I believe your story, feelings, and experiences are worthy of being seen, heard, and valued. It is when people feel seen and accepted by others that they are able to fully embrace themselves and show up authentically in all aspects of their lives. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in understanding how your intersecting identities impact your way of thinking, and shape how you navigate through life and its challenges.

Are you feeling stressed and anxious, and find that it's hard to get back to a relaxed state? Maybe it feels like your anxiety and stress have become the norm and you're caught in a loop, but know there has to be a better way to live. Let's work together to find new ways to support your nervous system, reduce stressful patterns, and help you experience more moments of calm and ease.

Self-discovery is a process that can be incredibly difficult and immensely satisfying. Sometimes we seek it out and often it finds us through painful and uncomfortable experiences. At the core of my work, I value bringing deep respect for your lived experiences and perspectives, with a curious mind to understand your inner system.

I believe that you have the strength to move beyond your pain, into a space of authentic and lasting life fulfillment. I am here to help you tap into this strength. We often get stuck in our minds and disconnect from our bodies, preventing us from accessing the body’s wisdom, intuition, and resilience. Through uniting the mind and the body, you are able to transcend your struggles and embrace the present moment, cultivating a deep connection to your life. Together, we will work to connect to the body’s consciousness, enabling you to move past negative beliefs and patterns while illuminating the empowered essence of who you are.

Hello! I am currently seeing Colorado clients virtually and accept Colorado insurance only at this time through the Sondermind platform. I am here to help support you or your child confront the overwhelming challenges coming up. I am a trained Synergetic Play Therapist, where regulation is key in addressing a stressed out nervous system. Whether you or your child have experienced a stressful/traumatic event or you are trying to manage some anxiety, depression, behavioral or relationship issues, I am here to help heal the underlying needs and help you connect to yourself.

I strive to serve the community around me and advocate for those who are in need. I focus on psychotherapeutic models to aid individuals in understanding the role their brain plays in treatment. Educating individuals about brain structure, function, development, and explaining how neurobiology can be applied to individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and other disorders. Interpersonal neurobiology of human development aids us to understand that structure & function of the mind & brain are shaped by our experiences especially involving emotional relationships.

Do you ever feel stuck, as if there are barriers in life that you just can't seem to overcome? Sometimes it can feel like there are endless roadblocks, whether that be navigating difficulties in our daily routines, moving through big life transitions, or the same overwhelming thoughts and feelings coming up again and again. These feelings can impact our ability to have meaningful relationships, and it can be difficult to identify the source of the struggle or understand why it feels this way, especially when we are feeling overwhelmed and are trying to work through it alone.

You have a human right to be heard. There is no right way to share, so take a seat and I will join you wherever you are. Is communication complicated? Maybe you are not meeting goals or getting your needs met at home, work, or school. Anxiety, trauma, family conflict and a host of other life challenges make the simplest efforts overwhelming. Whether you are braving depression, anxiety, autism, or some other challenge, we will explore your story together and identify your needs.

The human experience is a complex one. Our lives are inevitably filled with challenges, loss, suffering and at the same time we have the capacity to experience true joy, deep love and awe-inspiring beauty.
