Do you feel that you and your partner are out-of-sync? Not on the same page? Disconnected, like they can’t understand you and you can't understand them? Are your fights becoming more frequent and getting worse? Is the shouting louder, the blaming nastier, and the silent treatment shutdowns lasting longer? I understand what you're feeling: the hopelessness, the helplessness, the soul-crushing rejection, the gnawing sense of shame and failure, all of it.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. For some, that looks like anxiety that won’t quiet down, stress that feels constant, or emotions that are hard to manage. For others, it shows up in their child, behavior changes, school struggles, or emotional ups and downs that leave you feeling worried and unsure how to help. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or your child, it often starts with the sense that something isn’t working and it’s time for support.

We all want to be seen, heard, and understood. We want contact, relationships, and intimacy. We want to be fulfilled, belong, and stable in all of the ways.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, past relationship wounds, broken childhoods; These are all parts of ourselves that block us from that real sense of fulfilment, belonging, and safety we all need. Are you tired of lacking confidence and healthy boundaries? Are you afraid of your own anger? Does rage ruin one relationship after another?
The people I work with eventually have one goal.. To land at home, safely within themselves & loved ones in fulfillment and belonging.

I embrace the idea that change is all around us and happening every day. Our job as people is to learn how to manage and adjust to this change as it unfolds in our lives.

You’ve told your story before, maybe even in therapy, either trauma, eating disorder, relational angst. But the memories still grip your body. You might look fine on the outside — dependable at work, holding it together at home — but inside, your nervous system is exhausted from constantly being on high alert. You’re tired of the sudden triggers, the exhaustion, and feeling like the pastis dictating your present. You don’t just want to talk about the trauma anymore; you want to actually process it and move forward. I work with adults across Colorado and Wyoming who are ready to break free from the grip of PTSD and complex trauma.

You’ve probably heard people talk about intuition and wondered, “What the heck is that, and why can’t I tell what’s mine?”.
You notice a lot. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and still feel like it takes over in the moment. You hold it together as best you can, but underneath there’s overthinking, anxiety, or feeling too much or nothing at all.
In relationships, you might take on more than your share or pull back when it gets overwhelming.

When a child, pre-teen, adolescent, or adult walk into my office, they are entering a zone of non-judgment and unconditional acceptance.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
