Therapists in Englewood, CO

I consider it a privilege to come alongside you in your journey toward healing and wholeness. Emotional, physical, and spiritual pain are unavoidable parts of that journey, and I believe it is possible to live a full life amidst these challenges. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and others, wake up most days in a fog of fear or sadness, are constantly hit with unwelcome memories, or in a season of feeling “stuck.” Please know you are not alone. My greatest hope is for you to bravely explore these feelings (and many more) in order to live more fully into who you were designed to be.

Your life has become a redundant pattern. In many ways, you feel numb. Your daily routine has become structured around meeting the needs for others and you have become disconnected from your own. You have experienced trauma and feel misunderstood by others. The patterns of these traumatic events appear to be reoccurring in the present day and you wonder how much longer you can carry the weight of this pain. Maybe you started to feel like this recently or maybe this has been ongoing for years, either way, you’re ready for a change. You aspire to feel empowered, to love yourself, and to regain control.

Many things can impact our lives and relationships from stress, anxiety, and depression, to trauma, substance use, sexual difficulties, life transitions, and unresolved childhood attachment injuries. My hope is that together we will cultivate new corrective experiences that bring you closer to your true needs and desires. Together, we will identify your goals and set you up to achieve them. Through therapy we will develop better communication and connection skills that will foster deeper connections with the people in your life. I will strive to help you regain confidence in your innate strengths and abilities, hopes, and dreams.

I work primarily within my LGBTQIA+ community, and I always desire to support people across many identities and life stages. I am passionate about your relational well-being, and I specialize in working with all types of relationship structures and issues. I see the therapeutic process as dynamic and collaborative. I value that the therapeutic process is as unique as each relationship or person I see; and my hope is to expand the connection to yourself and to others through the combination of inner healing and functional skill building. My ultimate desire is to empower you as a whole person, and magnify your impact on the world.

You are deserving of love, peace and validation. In our work together, we will spend time building a safe space to explore your identity, anxiety, depression, and trauma. You will become an expert in your emotions. You will learn to cope with intrusive thoughts. You will build resilience to face whatever this world throws at you. Our goal together is to increase confidence in your decision making, build and maintain new relationships, and develop and grow your sense of self.

If you're looking to find answers to what is keeping you stuck in your patterns, I can help find that by exploring what the barriers are and by focusing on what's pulling you in a new direction. I don't practice faith/religion in my work and don't reject any faith/religion. I'm committed to providing affirmative therapy with all clients, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. I'm casual, friendly, biracial, like to give feedback in a clear manner, and I tend to laugh often. When it's appropriate, I share information based on research, history, or theory to challenge and clarify what's keeping you stuck.

I CURRENTLY HAVE IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY FOR NEW CLIENTS!! I am passionate about supporting my client's journeys through mental health services. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and counselor is imperative and that developing a specialized treatment approach for each of my clients allows for collaboration, trust, and autonomy.

Relationships can be hard work, but so worth the effort. I'm here to help you reconnect and repair with the love of your life. As a couples therapy specialist, I see couples go from discouraged to hopeful all the time. Does this sound like you? "I feel so disconnected, when the goal was to be close. We end up arguing when we meant to have fun and feel loved. We aren't having sex much anymore, when that used to be one of the favorite parts of our relationship. I try to make them happy, only to feel like I'm failing." Even though it might feel scary or daunting, don’t wait to get help while the hurts pile up and the distance grows.

Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming, and each person is unique in how these challenges will impact their well-being. I work with individual adults and adolescents, including young adults navigating college and careers, new parents finding purpose and meaning, and older adults who may be struggling with retirement, health issues, or isolation. Whether you are transitioning into a new phase of life, processing trauma or grief, seeking coping skills for anxiety or depression, or simply trying to make it through the day, this is the place for you.

Everyone deserves to thrive, and I am here to support you in taking charge of your life. I primarily work with children, teens, young adults, and families experiencing challenges with behavioral concerns, anxiety, disordered eating, body image issues, trauma, life changes, conflict resolution, and depression. My passion lies within supporting you, so you can support yourself.

If you are struggling to recover from traumatic events, PTSD, depression, anxiety, body image issues, and/or significant behavioral changes, or are a parent to a child/teen who is struggling with these issues, then I am here to help! These challenges often end up impacting not just you or your child, but the entire family and can leave everyone feeling hurt and out of control. With support, I would like to help you and/or your family move through the difficulty and discomfort into a new and healthier space. As a therapist, who loves working with children, teens, and young adults this is my passion.

In my counseling practice, I support folks coping with illness, from the moment of diagnosis, through end of life and beyond. I provide support around chronic and/or terminal illness, cancer survivorship, pain management, caregiver stress, dementia care, advance care planning, palliative and hospice care, legacy work, and grief/loss. Whether you've just received a new diagnosis or you've been struggling with a chronic condition for years, coping with an illness can be overwhelming. You might find yourself having to constantly readjust to changes in your body and what it can do, or feel like you're wrestling with endless "what ifs".

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or ADHD, and are feeling like you just can’t catch a break. You’re overwhelmed, constantly on edge, and making it through each day is like running a marathon that you were unable to train for. Dealing with all of this inside of you makes you feel so alone, believing that no one understands how you’re feeling. I work best with those of you who are experiencing work-related stress and relationship issues, as a result of feeling down, swamped, stressed out, or too scattered. What you want to get from therapy is understanding and solid solutions for getting back to your "normal" self.

Are you feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, or stressed? Are you having trouble in the workplace or in your relationships? Do you find yourself wondering who you are and what defines you? Have you recently gone through a major life transition? If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or having issues in your close relationships, I can help. We all have blind spots and obstacles in our lives, and a warm, understanding, and non-biased perspective can be immensely helpful. Therapy can be a powerful tool in relieving distress, learning about oneself, and living a more fulfilled life.

Are you someone who finds him/herself experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction and restlessness? You know something is wrong but you can’t put your finger on it. Maybe you’re children are grown and you realize you’ve lost yourself in the process of raising them and you’re wondering what’s next for you. Are you feeling reckless, lonely, misunderstood, exhausted and easily irritated? You feel like an imposter at times. You feel apathetic toward things that once brought you pleasure and joy. You might even be suffering from symptoms of panic, anxiety, or depression as a result of this uncertain time in your life.

It's hard to keep up hope when you've tried to fix your relationship challenges & nothing seems to work. Worse, it's awful when you try to fix your relationship & your efforts blow things up even more. You've probably expended a lot of energy trying every which way, & worry or feel depressed about it all the time. Your relationship probably wasn't always this hard, in fact, you can likely remember how it used to feel in the beginning. I help couples just like you begin to get your relationship back on track using evidence-based couple therapy tools & supportive practice to start changing your relationship for good today.

If you are struggling to recover from anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem, or a parent to a child/teen with these issues, then I am here to help! These challenges can be exhausting and difficult to navigate on your own, and they can impact not only yourself but your relationships as well. Our thoughts and emotions can impact many aspects of our lives, and at times we cannot even recognize or understand where they are coming from.
