Therapists Beginning With P in Colorado

If your relationship feels stuck, I will help you identify & change harmful patterns before you feel hopeless. We'll build on your strengths and history. Afraid of replicating your parents' marriage? We'll explore your fears, improve communication, & work toward more effective solutions. Plan to move in together? Get married? Change jobs? Have a baby? I can help you prepare now for the typical (& your unique) stressors that come with those changes instead of feeling blindsided by them & trying to pick up the broken pieces later. Communication, intimacy, & sexual satisfaction can all be strengthened with some intention & time.

Looking for a good psychologist is hard and actually finding one is even harder. This is probably because understanding people, why they are struggling, and how to help takes hard work. Real change requires more than any quick fix or simple solution can offer. If you’re continually struggling in life, it might be time to look beyond the surface and explore the root of things. I will work with you in a depth-oriented manner that aims to deepen your self-understanding and create important and lasting change.

I am honored to be considered to help you with your current life experience. I use mindfulness, body-centered awareness, and intuition to help my clients deepen their own healing process.

Together we uncover your true knowing and create solutions from a place of strength, allowing you to move forward on your life path. It takes courage to heal and step into the fullness of who you are meant to be. The therapeutic relationship can support you in this.

My passion as a therapist is helping my clients heal from trauma, with a focus on childhood/ developmental trauma.

If your therapy goals are to learn to accept yourself with more loving self compassion, schluff off societal expectations, ground into a healthier relationship with yourself and others, I might be able to help guide you on your healing journey. I do have a strong spiritual lens and innovate beyond typical psychotherapy.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains and bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Life can be full of challenges, and having someone really listen can be instrumental in successfully navigating through trying times.

I have spent my career working with adolescents, young children, and their families. I started my career as a high school English teacher, but quickly realized my passion for mental health and helping adolescents manage their mental health in order to learn and engage fully.

I ultimately decided to leave the school system to follow my heart and work full-time for Kairos Wellness Collective.

Families are facing so many challenges, and taking that step to seek outside help is vital and brave. Before looking for a therapist, you've likely striven to help your child or teen in other ways at home and school. My primary role as your child's therapist is to collaborate with you and your child/teen to clearly identify strengths and struggles, and come up with a game plan to build connection, confidence, and stability. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches that are proven to reduce depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal conflicts.

The quality of our relationships, with ourselves and with others, has a profound impact on our quality of life including our mental, emotional, social, environmental, and physical health.
