Optum Therapists in Lakewood, CO
Life presents a journey for us all to take. Whether it allows for hills or valleys, we have to decide how each defines our life. Therapy becomes our first step in taking back control and leaning into the joy that comes with healing. Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you and conquer what’s to come. You’ve made the difficult decision to no longer allow shame to prevent you from embracing vulnerability. Healing can be difficult, but if given the opportunity, I will hold space for who you are. Not who you have become due to the challenges you’ve faced but who you are at your core.

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.

Sometimes our minds get the best of us, creating unhelpful stories that leave us feeling overwhelmed and seemingly without hope. Reaching out for help in these times can be a difficult but strong first step because problems gain power in isolation and can keep us from thriving. I believe that our lives are made up of stories known through our relationships and community. Some of these narratives have provided us with connection, health, and meaning, while others have disempowered us and left us feeling stuck. Exploring how you feel about these experiences and relationships can provide us roadmaps to your unique healing journey.

I would love to have the opportunity to partner with you on your search for a deeper understanding of yourself and your story.

As a mom of two littles, I recognize the struggle of modern parenthood, and the solitude in which many parents find themselves. It is difficult to be the whole village raising children. There is also a sense of putting the needs of children and family before yourself, losing your identity in the process. I aim to help parents balance their identity and needs with the needs of their families.

I have a particular affinity for working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families discover healthier and more constructive ways of communicating and interacting with one another. Some of my most rewarding work has been with clients who had been in therapy for years and considered themselves hopeless.

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Find yourself avoiding things rather than dealing with them? Find yourself beating yourself up on a regular basis? We can work on that. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults with depression and anxiety (mood disorders - major depression & bipolar and anxiety disorders - panic disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD, phobias, etc. ). I tend to take a Here & Now approach, focusing on not just talking, but taking action to make changes.

Change is powerful. We all have the capacity to change, however many times people are overwhelmed by the unknown. I believe that you have the resources and problem-solving skills to affect change. Through the use of collaborative questioning I can aid in discovering solutions to your concerns. I believe change is always occurring and relatively small changes can lead to large changes. My systems base approach encourages positive thinking, for example what is working in your life, to establish therapeutic goals based on issues that are important.
