Self Esteem Therapists in Lakewood, CO

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or unmotivated? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Does self-doubt creep in and stop you from making that career change, having connected relationships, and living the life you want to live? You're not alone. We all experience pain and hardship in some form, whether it’s a recent break-up, childhood trauma, the loss of a job or loved one, or feeling like we have no control over our thoughts and emotions. Life’s challenges don’t have to stop you from moving forward. We all need support sometimes, and working with a therapist can help!

My ideal clients are individuals striving to live a more authentic life and connect with who they truly are to meet their greatest potential. Some of their concerns may have to do with codependency, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, effective communication and life transitions. My style is compassionate yet challenging to get you where you want to be.

Do you want to make a change but find yourself falling back into the same old patterns? Look no further! As a Licensed Addictions Counselor, I'm fascinated with how people change. Not just the quick fix, crash diet or band aid approach- but making the long term positive sustainable changes you have wanted! Whether it's procrastinating or alcoholism- we all have behaviors we wish to be different- but can find it very challenging to break these patterns that have become ingrained and reinforced over time. This is why so many of us stay in whats comfortable- even if it keeps us feeling stuck and miserable.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I know it isn’t easy to look for a therapist, and it can even feel scary to take that beginning step of seeking therapy. Therapy is helpful for healing emotional and relational wounds, increasing self-awareness, building skills and resources, and increasing clarity when you are feeling stuck and things look hopeless. Therapy is also helpful when you just want to stretch yourself to grow beyond old patterns and what feels familiar but no longer brings you joy, or when the familiar is costing you too much. You are starting something courageous by choosing change, and you don't have to do it alone.

It takes tremendous courage to reach out for help. To honor this courage, I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment that empowers clients to share their stories, heal their trauma, and reignite their vigor for life. I am honored to partner with each client throughout their healing journey. I employ an integrative approach that considers the unique needs and qualities of each client. I work with clients of all ages with an emphasis on kids, teens, and college students.

Being a human is not easy! Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, uncertain, struggling, unfulfilled, lost, or broken, I am here to support you on your unique journey. The therapy relationship is a place where you are accepted exactly as you are, so together we can find ways to nurture your inner sources of healing and growth. My goal is to support your ability to increase self-awareness and compassion in order to shift your habitual ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating, so we can discover the tools and insights to help you live a life that feels meaningful to you. Inner and outer change are possible!

I work with those who are new to therapy or those who have found themselves stuck in previous therapies, or somewhere in between. I work to support those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, stress/burnout, life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem , or a lack of sense of self. Many of my clients have felt a sense of invalidation in their lives and currently struggle with reaching their goals or becoming their true potential selves. My experiences have allowed me to develop a therapeutic approach that is balanced between being validating and nurturing with being direct and challenging.

I have a passion for walking alongside both Women and Men in areas such as self-esteem/self-worth and Identity, communication, boundaries, anxiety or stress management, personal growth, and many more. My main specialties include Women's Issues, Self-Esteem/Self-Worth & Identity, and Faith-Cased Counseling.

We go to therapy because we want to feel better. Dealing with anxiety and low self-esteem can feel like a package deal, and can make it hard to feel mentally healthy day-to-day. For many women, these symptoms may be associated with relationships, previous traumas, or negative body image. No matter what has happened to you, I believe it's possible to find healing, relaxation, and confidence. Finding a therapist you like can be hard, so please take your time to look around, ask plenty of questions, and reach out if you think we may be a good fit!

Is anxiety affecting your daily life? Do you want to make changes in your life, but you don’t know where to start? Did you know that a few changes to your daily routine can greatly reduce your anxiety? Self-awareness is key. I will teach you tools to help you better understand your body so you can control your anxiety quickly and with ease. Together, we identify and reprogram limiting thoughts and beliefs that are contributing to your anxiety and your overall self-esteem. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up every day feeling calm & confident?

Interested in trying something different? Therapy can be much more than sitting in a dim office talking about your problems. Many people benefit from taking an active and nature-based approach to their therapy. I provide experiential counseling services, often incorporating activities like hiking, rock climbing, yoga, Tai Chi, and various mindfulness exercises. This approach is highly effective with individuals with depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, impulse control issues, or other disorders related to inattentiveness, self-regulation, self-esteem, or stress management/response.

Do you feel like no one understands you or that you struggle to understand yourself? Does anxiety overwhelm you? Is it getting in the way of sleep, relationships and decision making? I believe it is time to stand up to yourself and for yourself. Together, we can determine a new course for you. You don’t have to spend your life escaping a difficult reality anymore. You can learn skills to help you face reality and enjoy the life you have.

Life can be full of painful moments. My goal as a therapist is to assist in processing these moments, where the pain you experience does not have to result in further individual suffering and together, we can explore your journey to healing. The therapy process is an environment where one can examine patterns of behavior, communication styles, relationships, emotions and so much more with support of a trained clinician. With a mindful approach and a non-judgmental framework, I provide psychotherapy and art therapy for teens, young adults, adult women and men in the therapeutic setting.

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.
