WellCare Therapists in Denver, CO
Many of my clients may look successful on the outside but feel stuck in the same painful patterns underneath. They find themselves overthinking relationships, questioning their worth, people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and disconnection. They know something needs to change, but they're not sure how to get there. For over 18 years, I've helped individuals understand the deeper roots of these struggles and create lasting change. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep showing up in your life—not with judgment or shame, but with curiosity and compassion.

Some relationship patterns repeat so predictably it starts to feel like you’re stuck in something you cant name but cant escape. You might be in confusing relational cycles, feeling stuck, or you just cant seem to find a healthy partner and lose yourself. Or you're ready to take a break from relationships and focus on empowering yourself again and break free from codependency and insecurity.
I work with individuals and couples who want to understand these patterns more deeply and shift them at the level where they actually live: emotional responses, nervous system activation, and relational dynamics.

I believe that people inherently want to move towards healing, but life is complex and things get mixed up along the way. I work to help clients move towards their most authentic & genuine selves. Within the counseling relationship, I strive to help clients feel supported & empowered so they can explore themselves, their current circumstances, past experiences, & future aspirations. I believe that people are the experts of their own lives but sometimes need a roadmap to help get back to where they want to be. One of the most powerful gifts that you can offer the world is to heal yourself & I would love to be a part of your journey.
