LGBTQ+ Therapists in Littleton, CO

If you struggle and remain unhappy I'm glad you'd consider letting someone help. Suffering is a serious matter. People suffer from many different and individual reasons such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions, or histories of abuse, neglect or trauma. Many people suffer with issues related to sexuality (being gay , lesbian , sexually-addicted, HIV+, etc.) Shame is a damaging experience for anyone ( gay or straight) and needs to be addressed head on for change. There is hope. Together, we can figure out the best road ahead. Happiness matters. That is true for everyone, including you.

Hi there! Congratulations on taking the first step in finding a therapist. Therapy can be difficult, but finding someone you trust and connect with can make all the difference. I strive to create a warm, inviting environment in which all of my clients feel welcome and safe to express their true selves. I believe that lasting change occurs when we are empowered to live authentically, set boundaries, and advocate for ourselves. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/work stressors, etc., we will work collaboratively to establish treatment goals and process past experiences and current stressors.

I have worked for over 20 years specifically with Adolescents, Pre-Teens and Young Adults. I have extensive experience with working with students experiencing academic issues, the LGBTQ community, anxiety, depression, grief, defiant youth, self-harming and cutting and suicidal ideation, as well as divorced and blended families. Your child already has so much strength inside of them, together we can increase your child’s path to resiliency so they can be strong today and into the future. My goal with every patient is to instill self-understanding and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards all of life's situations.

I use a holistic approach to help you better understand yourself, the world around you, and find balance. I work with individuals and couples, ages 18 and older. I have experience working with an array of racial/ethnic backgrounds, as well as the LGBTQIA + community. I specialize in issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, relationships, ADHD, and autism in adults. I strive to make my sessions supportive, non-judgemental, and authentic for every person that walks in my door.

Our lives seemingly never go as planned, and even if it does- it is not without hardship. Clients I work with are seeking help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transition/adjustment, relationship issues, career stagnation/transition, among other challenges. Together we work towards personal, career, and mental health goals by providing the skills to better understand the inner workings of our mind and psyche. I aim to be the bridge between the individual and a self-sufficient and fully integrated life. I am a LGBTQ + friendly, sex positive, and open-minded clinician providing a variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities.

I am a licensed psychologist who earned my Ph.D. from the University of Akron in Counseling Psychology and I specialize in trauma, adjustment-related stress, life transitions, couples work, and working with members of the LGBTQIA + community.
