Therapists in Lakewood, CO
My ideal clients are children and adults who feel overwhelmed by life’s transitions or deep-seated wounds. They may be navigating the weight of anxiety and depression, or the specific pain of trauma. These individuals need a safe harbor where they can explore their identity and emotions without judgment. Whether it’s a child struggling to regulate big feelings or an adult trying to reconcile their past with their future, their goal is to find a sense of safety and "wholeness." They want to understand their own internal world so they can move through the external world with more confidence, peace, and resilience.

I support patients who are seekers—those who know there’s more to life than just coping, who want to heal old wounds, reconnect with their bodies, and grow into greater self-acceptance and confidence. You may be navigating religious trauma, identity exploration, or simply feeling stuck, but above all else, you hold a deep desire for lasting change.
Together, we create space for healing, insight, and practical tools that support both resilience and transformation. I believe in the power of compassion and authenticity, a credence that ensures steady and supportive guidance in your healing journey.

Sometimes it can be too much... the daily stressors, challenging relationships, frustrating patterns that seem stuck on repeat, anxious thoughts, self-doubt, triggers that make you feel out of control. We all have times when we feel off or at a loss, and uncertain about how to find our way out. These are all common parts of the human experience and what we need in those moments is a little grace, a space to feel seen and heard, and a warm soul to hold out a hand of hope.

My therapeutic style offers space to explore therapy through artmaking and creative processes. The imagination fuels our capacity to create, and making art in therapy allows access to experiences beyond logic, words, or conscious thought. With over 15 years in contemporary arts, meditation, and spiritual practices, I bring practical and embodied knowledge to therapy.
I am passionate about supporting people through life as it relates to their personal and inter-generational histories within a broader social context. I welcome individuals and groups who have been impacted by trauma and systemic barriers.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — depression that won’t lift, anxiety that keeps narrowing their world, or a vague but persistent sense that something is “wrong” with them. A line from an Eagles song captures what I’ve witnessed again and again in my work: “So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key.” I became a therapist over a decade ago because I firmly believe that with the right blend of support and challenge, almost anyone can change unworkable patterns in his or her life.
