Family Therapy in Greenwood Village, CO

I am a Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing psychological evaluation and psychotherapy to adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I am a partner at The Arete Center and I founded and run the center's ADHD Clinic for Adults & Emerging Adults. We provide comprehensive assessment and diagnosis and a full array of clinical services to address Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Executive Dysfunction for high schoolers, college students, young adults, and adults.

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, alone and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, only to still struggle? Emotions, trauma and relationship stress can leave us feeling defeated and hopeless. My clients include children and adults overwhelmed by emotions, trauma responses, and/or dealing with relationship wounds (e.g., parenting stressors, infidelity, communication breakdown). We work together so you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. Your goals matter and we take intentional actions so therapy feels productive and meaningful.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and/or feelings of overwhelm? Are you looking for increased happiness and hope in your life? Are you new to therapy or tired of traditional therapy that is problem focused and looking for something new? I utilize a unique combination of solution focused therapy, biofeedback and integrative medicine practices to effectively address the mind, emotion and body to create a whole person approach to mental health and well-being. I also offer rabbit assisted therapy upon request to enhance the therapeutic process.

Is your mind filled with self-judgment and criticism about what you see in the mirror? Do you avoid social gatherings and events because of the way you look? Are you postponing goals and passions because you want to "first" get your weight or appearance under control?  I am confident there is another way to embrace life without the constant battle, energy, and emotions wasted on what you "should" be in comparison to others. I hope to work with you to move towards a more compassionate, and self-trusting version of yourself. 

Nothing seems to be working, as the day’s pass you noticed a disconnect. The relationship is becoming unfamiliar. Your partner no longer feels like your partner. Arguments are more common than compliments and toxic exchanges seem like the norm these days. The stress is starting to affect other aspects of your life. The relationship with yourself seems more like a distant memory. You could use a vent session with someone who gets it. whether you're arguing more with your partner or constantly yelling at the kids. Do you find yourself wondering what happened to the laughter and love? Where did the relationships take a detour?

Welcome! I am excited to journey with you into the amazing person you are! I love supporting my clients to become more self-aware and self-empowered. I believe that we all have the ability to thrive and resonate at a high frequency and my goal is always to facilitate the shift from surviving to thriving. I support clients to move build a strong connection to self, and towards inner calm, peace and relational interdependence that allows a sense of lightness and joy into their lives. I am also very passionate about wellness and emphasize holistic and nutritional elements of wellness into my therapy.

Are you, your child or teen, overwhelmed with the stresses of your world? Experiencing emotional and behavioral outbursts in response to this stress? Feeling drained and defeated? Together we can explore and process big emotions by focusing first on regulating our nervous systems and developing healthy relational experiences. With your openness and curiosity, we will embark on a journey of discovery, reflection and empowerment. You will dive into past experiences that live within the body as well as explore the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a safe and secure environment.

Brightside Counseling Services has licensed and certified mental health providers that are able to treat individuals, couples, families, and groups. We are best able to support individuals who are ready to work through their emotions, create goals for themselves, and address their needs. While there are a lot of unknows in the world, we are able to help you make sense of your circumstances, and create ways for you to thrive that are beneficial for your overall wellbeing.

My ideal client would be someone who wants to take control of their life. A person who hasn't been living for themselves and feels likes they have been trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. They struggle to identify who they really are. Their well being is contingent on the happiness of others but they yearn to break that cycle.

South Psychology's mission is to provide evidence based mental health therapy and assessment services that functionally improve the lives of the individuals and families we serve.

I work with families, couples, and individuals to help create change, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop a strong sense of self-worth. I believe everyone is capable of growth and transformation. My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, and encouraging. I use humor to provide new ways of relating, encourage movement away from defensive reactions, and add a light touch to intense moments. I utilize a blend of Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) and experiential techniques when working with clients. AAI can enhance our work on self-awareness, communication, relationships, coping skills, and teamwork.

There will be a time in everyone’s life when additional assistance is needed to navigate life stressors/transitions. In therapy, I strive to help people regain the best version of themselves via increasing attunement with themselves and providing a space to process experiences. I primarily work with preteens(11-13), adolescents/teens(14-19), young adults(18-25) and adults who are seeking therapy in hopes of improving and better understanding their life.

My therapeutic style is welcoming, grounding, and curious. I aim for therapy to be a collaborative space for authentic exploration, which I approach from a open and curious stance. I believe my clients are the experts of their own experiences, and it is my honor and duty to use my knowledge to assist my clients in unfolding, understanding, integrating, and blossoming into their authentic, functional self. To assist my clients in this process, I often utilize personalized metaphor, analogy, reflection, and humor to both support and challenge each client. Often, my therapy style is described as relieving, exciting, and insightful.

I am a generalist behavioral health therapist with 23 years of experience in the mental health field, treating individual adults of all ages. I work to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental environment in which they are able to learn, grow, and heal. I take a strength-based perspective and believe in partnering with you to build on your existing strengths and improving your resilience. Whether you're looking for diagnostic answers, you're needing help moving through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or a broken relationship, or you want to address and change negative patterns, I would be honored to partner with you.

I help individuals explore, understand, and overcome personal, social, and/or behavioral issues in the recovery process. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where the needs and challenges of my clients can be understood and addressed. With my multi cultural life experience and background, I incorporate cultural competency and cultural sensitivity to accommodate and respect differences in opinions, values, and attitudes of the minoritized population. I encourage my clients to talk about their experiences in order to gain insights into patterns of negative thinking, identify harmful and behavior patterns.

Life's messy and complicated, and you weren't as prepared as you would have liked for the curveballs. Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time. How your problems express themselves in your life may look different than it might for someone else, and those distinctions are really important.

My approach to the therapy process is eclectic in style. I listen and learn from you, then take concepts from multiple types of therapy practices that will benefit each client I work with. I take an individual and personalized approach with every client. My intention is to come alongside you and help guide you to your goals to achieve what you want out of the therapy process.

You might be overwhelmed by the challenges associated with ADHD and Executive Functioning. Perhaps you're trying to overcome career or academic hurdles, better manage your time, or find a sense of order in your day-to-day life. You have goals and aspirations but struggle to follow through. You want to build consistent routines and achieve more. What might seem like challenges now are in fact, opportunities to grow. I understand that you're seeking a more satisfying life where you can fully harness and celebrate your unique way of learning and thinking. I'm here to help guide and support you in that journey.
