Therapists in Lakewood, CO
Trusting a therapist with thoughts and emotions we aren't comfortable facing ourselves can seem embarrassing and perhaps even terrifying. Therapy is a difficult process and I work to face those challenges with my clients head on. My mission is to help empower my clients to create positive life changes. I have been called blunt and no nonsense by my clients. Clients also say I have a calm demeanor that provides a balance to this approach. One client described my therapy style as putting puzzle pieces together to gain a clear picture of their thoughts and emotions.

The quality I most desire in clients is authenticity. I view the therapeutic relationship as being based upon mutual trust, and it is difficult to enact meaningful change if we fail to present our genuine selves. However, I also acknowledge that we all have different experiences, and there is no need to be concerned if it takes varying amounts of time to build trust in the therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with the following: nearly all mood disorders and personality disorders, substance dependency, dual diagnosis, trauma, adolescent crime, couples counseling, family counseling.

You deserve connection, joy, and self-worth. But trauma, loss, a major life transition, has got you feeling… off. Maybe your thoughts are harsh and just won’t stop racing, or you feel depressed and the best part of your day lately is those several seconds before you fully wake and remember just how stuck you feel. How you show up for yourself and in your relationships is suffering and it hurts. You have been coping with this pain in ways that you don’t love and you are ready to take a new step towards healing. Let’s talk.

I now offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Check out my website for more information. Talking about painful childhood memories doesn't nearly resolve those long lasting wounds. I use non traditional and holistic methods. It is not talk therapy! It is a multimodal approach to help people resolve strong emotional reactions such as Anxiety and Depression. The processing of memories is best done in connection with others. You are not alone. I have been there! This is my number one credential.

You’re someone who holds a lot—responsibilities, emotions, and maybe even the weight of others’ expectations. On the outside, it might look like you have it together, but inside, you may feel anxious, disconnected, or worn down by self-criticism. You might be navigating relationship struggles, old wounds that still show up, or stuck patterns that don’t always make sense. You’ve worked hard to keep it all in, but lately, it feels heavier—like you can’t keep carrying it alone. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, but it didn’t quite fit. You’re looking for something real—lasting change, not just surface-level fixes.

I believe that therapy can make a big difference in people's lives, and I feel privileged that I have the chance to be a part of others’ journeys. I have a passion for supporting people in helping themselves, believing that everyone is deserving of compassion and respect. A few of the populations that I have experience working with are the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people who come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. I recognize the importance of factors outside of the therapy room that make us special and unique.
