Couples Counseling Therapists in Lakewood, CO

As a multicultural woman, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, but I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault/violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more. With experience serving ages 12-adult, I aim to create a safe space to explore an array of different obstacles within the human experience to leave the client feeling empowered and heard. My clients come to me looking for reprieve from mental aguish, and in true acceptance of the self, we venture there together.

I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults with anxiety, depression, and OCD find ways to manage their symptoms and live the life they wish to pursue. I believe in providing clients with autonomy and being present for their needs. Clients are encouraged to advocate for themselves in and outside of the therapeutic relationship .

Being a child in today's world can be terrifying. Frightened and anxious children exhibit many symptoms that can make life difficult for them and their loved ones. In much the same way, parenting can be terrifying and confusing. With 20 years experience, I come alongside children, parents, and adults and help them to love themselves, and heal the wounds that lead to this paralyzing fear. I will help you to regulate difficult emotions so that you can be present with each other. You will leave our time with tools to help you reconnect when things get tough.

Are you struggling with feeling worthy? Does it feel like if you could just find the right self help book or self care tool, you’d also find a full connected meaningful life? Perhaps it's a traumatic experience, unhelpful patterns in your relationships, or undiagnosed ADHD keeping you stuck. As an experienced clinician I am convinced that we are all worthy, and it is only through developing that loving relationship with ourselves that we can feel worthy. When we learn how to like ourselves, how to LOVE ourselves, our relationships deepen, our sleep improves, and we are more able to take those essential steps to live our best life.

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples struggling with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, loss, and relationship challenges. I am available Monday through Friday daytime hours with some evening sessions. I offer in-person sessions from my Lakewood office, as well as teletherapy sessions. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapies, psychodynamic, and client centered approaches to support clients.

I use a cognitive-behavioral, person-centered approach. I have experience in clinical hypnosis and various types of psychotherapeutic approaches. The type of intervention is dependant upon the client’s willingness to engage in that particular modality and appropriateness of that modality for your needs. I try to be solution-focused and give my clients tools they can use for a lifetime. I am skilled in working with the following conditions: Addictions Adjustment Problems Anger Management Anxiety Bipolar I and Bipolar II Disorders Depression Grief and Loss

I enjoy working with motivated women to increase awareness into the root cause of unhelpful/unhealthy patterns in their lives. I believe that all individuals hold the knowledge of what is best for their own life but sometimes need a gentle guide to help find their path. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where you will feel comfortable expressing difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Let me pour you a cup of tea, and let's talk. I believe that there are not enough places in the world where a person is free to be their truly authentic self without fear of judgement. In practice, I create a safe space for my clients to access and unravel stories ingrained in the psyche. Life is too short to be held back by bad relationships, to let trauma control us or to be anxious/ angry all the time. I'm excited to get to know the real you and to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you're looking for, all while enjoying the process.

Hello, my approach to therapy is creating a therapeutic space that is collaborative, authentic and respectful. I consider you to be the expert on your life and relationships. I am simply following along. Think of me a consultant, supporting you as you explore the possibilities and solutions already within you, your relationships and family.

Feeling stuck? Defeated? Unmotivated? You're not alone, and help is here. In my practice I specialize in working with those struggling with life transitions (school, relationships, breakups, a big move, a career change), addiction, anxiety, and codependency. Not only do I work with individuals with these concerns, but also all who are impacted by the effects of these issues such as partners, parents, siblings, children, and friends. If you or someone you love is struggling with a major life event, mental health and/or substance abuse issues, you may feel that there is no hope. Healing is available to you and I would love to help.
