Therapists in Lakewood, CO

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.

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life throws challenges our way that seem like they're more than we can handle. A broken relationship, a past life decision, mistakes we make, or hurt at the hands of others can leave us wondering how to respond. We all have experiences in our past or present where we need help. The gift of counseling can allow you to process through your thoughts, feelings, and reactions in a safe and healthy way.

I offer therapeutic intervention to those needing guidance towards reimagining life. In our work together you will find insights, rediscover hope, & find tangible ways to actualize change. My focus is on empowering you to take the next steps forward. In my process with you we will explore all that it means for you: mind, body, heart, and soul, to rediscover yourself find genuine healing.

I treat a broad range of issues among children through adults. I believe it is important to match a treatment approach with each individual's goals, personality, learning style, available supports, and core values. I also have a broad-based understanding of spirituality and contemplative approaches and am comfortable with integrating this into treatment when clients would like and as appropriate.

I have worked in mental health since 2011 with a wide range of people. I mostly help people who are experiencing the effects of stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma, among other things. My main goals when working with people are to really understand what they are going through from their perspective, and to create a collaborate atmosphere of exploration and growth. Simultaneously, we will find tools that work in the short term while working to understand underlying causes, and work towards long term change and benefit.

Life is difficult and, yes there is hope. Perhaps you have tried different approaches to find what you're looking for and yet nothing seems to have helped fill in that "gap" or that something that missing in your heart. I invite you to follow that thread; what in your heart that feels stuck? Consider even what comes up for you as I ask you that question? That internal struggle is good, it shows you're asking good questions and that you deep down know there's something more to be found.

Are you feeling defeated by self-doubt? Anxious and over-burdened by the worries of tomorrow? Depressed because you just can't seem to make any long-lasting changes in your life? These symptoms may just be the "tip of the iceberg" and may be indicative of long-held belief systems that are manifesting after years of cultivation. Don't be discouraged. You're not alone. The human experience is riddled with challenges that can leave us feeling hopeless. We are not meant to do life alone and chances are you already know that because that's why you're here. Let's get started!

New Paradigm takes a holistic approach to DUI Services with our clients. We start with knowing a few fundamental qualities about every person that walks through our doors. Foremost, we respect you because we know everybody makes mistakes. You make the best choice at any given moment based on your knowledge and experiences. You have created your life through the daily choices you make so you have everything you need to create your life in any way you would like. Our job is to provide you with new information and experiences. Now you can make the choices that lead to the life you want. We strive to do this with the highest integrity in the business. The answer to the second most asked question at New Paradigm is, What is a paradigm? Paradigm is another word for model, pattern, standard, archetype, etc. We chose paradigm to convey, “we do it differently.” As a bonus, successful clients come out with new methods/paradigms, for handling their old habits that led to their DUI/DWAI.

I have learned the importance of blending evidence-based care with a unique individualized approach tailored to the needs and desires of the individual; therefore, I practice a multi-modal approach that mixes neuroscience and psychology. I have served underprivileged communities, worked with survivors and perpetrators of sexual and gender violence and have specialized training working with addictions, and promoting mind-body wellness.

Changes are, these experiences in your life are not entirely due to chance or circumstance... but rather, due to your mindset, your habits, and your relationships.
