My work is especially effective for queer (LGBTQ+) and neurodivergent people, including ADHD and autism. My ideal client may have tried talk therapy before but found it not to be helpful and is ready to try something new. My approach to counseling combines the individual's needs with awareness of larger systems that we exist in. I use a matter-of-fact, down-to-earth and sometimes humorous approach to talking about difficult things.

My approach is informed by the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, TCI, art therapy, mindfulness, somatics, attachment theory, IFS, and a humanistic lens.
You’re raising (or maybe are) someone who feels deeply—quick to laugh, quick to cry, quick to get overwhelmed. Big emotions and sensitive nervous systems can bring incredible gifts...and real challenges. Maybe you're seeing outbursts, shutdowns, identity confusion, or family disconnection. You want to feel more grounded, more connected, and to parent or live in a way that honors your true self—or your child’s.

You deserve connection, joy, and self-worth. But trauma, loss, a major life transition, has got you feeling… off.

Journey to Joy Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LAC, EMDR

Lakewood, CO 80235
I take a mindfulness approach to therapy to help adults learn new skills to live in the moment, so they can have more control over their thoughts and emotions and have healthier interactions with others.
Has it become harder to get out of bed and find joy, peace, and happiness throughout your daily routine and relationships? Have you noticed that the past negative experiences or trauma you have endured is controlling your present life? In times of trouble, how do you cope? Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationships can cause us to experience many different emotions on a daily basis. Each day those emotions can leave us feeling very empty and alone which can then lead us to coping in ways that prevent us from being the best versions of ourselves.

I’d love to explore about what honoring your authentic self looks like for you. Maybe you feel stuck second-guessing yourself—you want more confidence, more connection, but it feels out of reach.

Working together we’ll discuss embodiment practices, tools for awareness, unpack mind-body patterns to create the foundations for meaningful change, joy and authenticity. I'm first gen Romanian-American and I deeply value culturally sensitive therapy that will respect all parts of you.

I utilize mindfulness-based modalities including ACT, MBCT, and coaching.
Whether you are ready to dive headfirst into therapy or are more interested in dipping a toe and feeling the water, I would love to work with you. I am firmly rooted in the belief that talking to people outside of your immediate circle can offer great insight and perspective on matters big and small.

In our initial sessions, we’ll explore the reasons you are seeking support, discuss your goals, and collaborate on a plan to help you achieve them.

My approach is integrative and relational, grounded in somatic practices, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
Many of the people I work with are reflective, self-aware, and called to something deeper within themselves, yet still feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They may be navigating trauma, disconnection, burnout, or life transitions that feel overwhelming or disorienting. Often, they want to feel more authentic and whole, to make sense of what they’ve been carrying, and to integrate the experiences that have shaped them. They come to therapy not just for symptom relief, but for connection, clarity, and a more grounded sense of self.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
