Therapists in Lakewood, CO

Are you feeling alone in your pain? Do you feel stuck? And does the idea of opening up about your hurt feel overwhelming? I'd love to come alongside you to get unstuck. Whether your pain is rooted in trauma, grief, anxiety, or difficult relationships, we will work together to transform your suffering into meaning, change, and growth. Together, we will shift your old ways of relating to others into new and healthy connections and help you feel more rooted, aligned, and in congruence with yourself.

Do you want more freedom and ease, but when it comes to making lasting change that gets to the root of the issue, you have run out of ideas and patience and want support from someone who understands and can help facilitate growth? My goal is to help support your journey of discovery through inquiry and exploration. Together we will work to create more freedom and choice in thought, action, and feeling- transformation from the inside out. I work with individuals and couples across a wide variety of issues including relational stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, personal growth, and career and life transition.

Every individual is unique and has a distinctive perspective. There are many factors that contribute to the way we operate whether it is significant life events, relationships, or stressors. We are hard-wired to be in relationships with others. Relationships have a big impact on the way we are able to interact with others.

You’ve been trying your hardest in relationships but still feel the pain of aloneness or not finding lasting connection/s. Or, you find yourself stuck, not able to approach life with forward-moving energy or clear direction. I get it. Trauma, a difficult childhood, and/or life's inevitable disappointments, often create barriers to feeling solid within yourself & to attaining what you hope for in life. I use mind-body approaches that go beyond talk therapy to create lasting change. Together, we can identify & mend what is getting in the way of you having safe, authentic relationships or crafting a life that is more of what you want.

We specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, stress, end of life issues, identity issues and adjustments/transitions. The healing process of therapy can result in an increase in self-esteem, an improved outlook, a greater sense of control or calmness, decreased pain and better self understanding.

NOW accepting clients! You just lost one of the most important people in your life and you're struggling to manage a seemingly endless cycle of anger and overwhelming sadness. Will the pain ever end? Depression and anxiety have become your new normal and you feel so alone. You need someone who "gets it" to sit with you in your grief and not try to fix anything. Dealing with anxiety and constantly trying to please people is exhausting and it's taken a toll on your self-esteem. This doesn't have to be your forever story. You CAN feel better and I can help you create the life of purpose and fulfillment you are longing for.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you feel confused about how you got to where you are and need help gathering some clarity. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with all that has happened to you, and you need someone to help you feel seen. Or maybe life is changing rapidly in ways you’re not ready for, and you want support you as you navigate these new realities. Coming to meet a new therapist is a vulnerable experience. I want to honor your bravery in seeking support as I partner with you in creating change, finding healing, and experiencing more freedom, agency, and connection.

When navigating life itself feels daunting, I recognize that embarking on the counseling journey can feel equally so. When you feel lost, stuck, anxious, alone, or exhausted – and you’re just trying to figure out how you can make it through – it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Knowing this, I want to honor your efforts and provide you with a supportive environment to pursue both resolution and healing.

Do you feel like it's just not working any more? You are not alone! We all carry stories: the different relationships, events, and circumstances that have shaped and impacted us. As humans, we all have a deep longing and need for relationships. Early relationships often create the framework for perceiving and interacting with others. Our experiences throughout development lead us to internalize messages and form beliefs about who we are and how to interact with others. Early traumas, losses, and relational dysfunction can lead to present pain and distorted views of how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Healing can be difficult. Navigating the multiple relationships, choices, and tensions in your life may seem overwhelming or tenderly intertwined. Wherever your present needs may find you, I am here to walk alongside you as you take the next step towards wholeness and healing. Through a deeper presence and awareness with and of yourself, I aspire to journey with you as enter those deeper places of ambivalence, hurt, and longing to reengage with those parts of yourself which feel a bit more distant. Through a reintegration of yourself, I hope to support you in discovering freedom, autonomy, and self-compassion to live life fully.

Hello and welcome to The Center for Secure Attachment. Navigating through different seasons can be difficult and present unique challenges that, at times, might require additional guidance and support. We are a counseling practice with compassionate counselors who are skilled at helping you navigate those challenges. Contact us to help you find the right fit for what you are working through.

Sometimes being in the world and in relationships can be so challenging and feel like too much to bear alone. It can also feel overwhelming to reach out for help or to even admit you are struggling. Whatever may bring you to therapy, I recognize the bravery and strength required to start the process. My goal is to provide a space where you will experience peace and a sense of belonging. I would love to have the opportunity to partner with you on your search for a deeper understanding of yourself and your story.

Everyone has their own unique story, and what has happened in our past affects who we are and how we experience the world and relationships today. I believe that as humans, we are fundamentally relational, and relationships can both be the source of healing and the source of pain. Having a space to process the pain without judgment is essential for healing.

Emotional pain can be the most stifling and difficult pain to endure, yet it can also be the catalyst for tremendous growth and insight. I specialize in helping clients of all ages who are struggling with trauma, complex trauma, depression, stress, self-esteem and interpersonal difficulties. My ideal client is one who is ready to be free from the impact of trauma, be it old or recent trauma, and is desiring growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. I also enjoy working with clients who are interested in looking at their issues through the lens of their spirituality.

Start feeling confident, in control and excited about the future. Stop your life from spinning into chaos. I help stressed out, overworked, women entrepreneurs and other busy professionals get past self-destructive habits that get in the way of achieving success. From procrastination, to obsessing about relationship issues, to chronic worrying. Or maybe it's something more serious like constant self-criticism or habitual drinking that keeps you stuck. You can break free from the bad habits that are limiting your life. There are tools for getting past these challenges and thriving. Let me show you how.

Being a woman in this world can feel so overwhelming- we feel like we are too much and also not enough, all at the same time. The endless to-do's, relationship challenges, and a loud and consistent inner critic can leave us feeling exhausted and on edge. Maybe for you the overwhelm looks like anxiety: constant worry and attempts to control your life. Or maybe it looks like depression: isolating, staying in bed, and shutting down to drown out the noise. It can be a struggle to live out of our authentic selves. But here, at Kin Counseling Services, you'll find the support and understanding you've been searching for.
