Art Therapy in Westminster, CO
You woke up again only to realize your person is gone. Just like that. They are no longer here. Is it even possible to go on without them? The ache in your chest is too much to bear. The tears either won’t stop flowing or they don’t even come. It feels like you’re stuck in a rip current. You see the shore, find some relief, and then the wave slaps you in the face and again you are being dragged under. It’s unfair. It’s gut-wrenching. It just SUCKS! Life doesn’t have the same excitement it once did, and you wonder if it ever will again.

New beginnings come with more emotions than we know. Some come with worry, some with excitement, but more often than not, new beginnings come with fear. Fear of the unknown. I understand that fear and it is why I prioritize understanding my clients' emotions when they take the leap to begin therapy. Whether it is with a new therapist in a new city or for the first time ever, emotions are exposed and support is needed. I believe that healing is a risky journey, but a journey where support is waiting. I strive to provide each client with the individualized support they need in order to heal and discover their next new beginning.

If you’re here, something has likely been weighing you down. Depression that lingers. Anxiety that won’t quiet. Stress that never ends. Patterns of unhelpful coping that feel like an endless cycle. Or perhaps a more subtle exhaustion, creating a fear that you’re only dealing with life, & not feeling or living it. I've had the privilege of sitting with individuals navigating these exact experiences. What has remained consistent is this: We are far more resilient, brave, & capable of change than we initially believe. My role is to help you identify & understand what's happening beneath the surface & create environments that feel safe!
