Couples Counseling Therapists in Jefferson Park, Denver, CO

We all long for happiness, purpose, meaning, and community, but few of us believe we deserve it. We hide parts of ourselves out of fear of rejection and go through the world not feeling seen. In our work together, we will discover the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that prevent you from creating the future and relationships you want. I work with adolescents (10 years old to 12 years old), teens, adults, and couples.

Do you feel like you keep attracting unhealthy romantic partners? In relationships do you find yourself often people pleasing and putting your needs second? Sometimes even when we think we are breaking this pattern we end up in the same type of relationship. Often this is due to how we have learned to cope with past traumatic or unhealthy relationships. Together we will help you understand your past and heal from hurtful experiences, so you no longer feel stuck in this cycle. You will learn to better understand your relationship triggers and seek relationships where you feel loved, seen, and cared for.

Welcome! I am a passionate mental health professional ready to assist children, teens, and adults in overcoming the issues that are holding them back from reaching their highest potential. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, behavioral issues, substance use and abuse, challenging life transitions, attachment and family issues. Let's work together to identify a path through the challenges life is throwing at you.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships? Do you feel like your suffering has become too heavy to carry alone? When this happens, we can feel unloveable, broken, alone, and unable to heal and move forward. My goal is to create a therapy space where you feel supported and guided, and that I'm not just another person to talk to. Together we will work on breaking the cycle you are stuck in and empower you to create a future unburdened by your past.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or overall a lack of life satisfaction? You are not alone. As a therapist, I encourage my clients to discover their own wholeness. I guide adolescents, young adults, adults, parents, and couples in achieving their fullest potential that already exists within. One of the main results of experiential and Gestalt is going from talking about what you are struggling with to actually feeling and moving through what you are seeking counseling for in your life. We will get to the deeper layers that aren't accessible through mainstream therapy. You have the power to get to a better way of living and being.

It’s nice to find someone you feel like you can be yourself around. I bring with me a sense of humor, warmth and authenticity that fosters connection and trust, especially important for those who are skeptical, or unsure about seeking help. Through this trusting relationship, my clients are better able to access self-compassion and more awareness of patterns that have kept them from achieving contentment, freedom and joy. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, shame, anger, low self-esteem, difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, lack of emotional expression or difficulty managing big emotions.

Are you trying to get pregnant, suffering from a loss, or a new parent that is struggling? Are you feeling the toll that parenthood has taken on your relationship? Are you having a difficult time taking care of your health or navigating a new diagnosis? Being pregnant, postpartum, or having a chronic health condition can leave you feeling alone, overwhelmed, and helpless. My previous career as a birth doula has given me a unique and powerful perspective to support my clients navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. You deserve to feel deeply understood, protected, and cared for during these difficult, and blissful, journeys.

Are you feeling a sense of shame about who you are? Are you wanting to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current struggles? Are you having curiosities about your identity or patterns in life? People often experience suffering due to the pressures and stigma placed on them from relationships and society. These experiences can often make us feel a sense of shame that keeps us stuck and disconnected in our lives. I help my clients to heal from past hurts, honor their authentic self, and live wholehearted lives that are in alignment with their values. You deserve to reclaim your voice, power, and worth.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I work with individuals and couples to create an individualized plan leading to self-discovery, fulfillment and greater authenticity. I work to create a safe relationship for clients to explore difficult aspects of their lives and to gain insight into recurring, self-defeating patterns. My practice focuses on helping each client to discover and build upon their innate strengths and ability to make positive changes.

I have 15 years of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships. I believe everyone already has the wisdom inside to heal but sometimes layers of trauma or pain can make it difficult to do so and often causing symptoms such as anxiety and depression. I work with you to process traumas that can block the feeling of safety, content and happiness inside. I am trained in EMDR (an evidence based trauma therapy tool) that is used to process and heal traumas so that the system can rest and no longer has to fight to protect against the pain, fear, and emotions.

Do you feel like it's impossible to have healthy loving relationships? When this happens, we can feel unlovable, broken, alone, and unable to heal and move forward. We want to provide a space to heal, to understand what led to your relationship issues, and how to prevent them in the future. Whether relationships have always felt difficult or you are experiencing a difficult relationship for the first time, we will work together to understand your past, current relationship patterns, and how to make changes towards healthy relationships.

I find meaning in providing non-judgmental support to individuals while they move through difficult life experiences and ultimately find fulfillment in their lives. I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches with a focus on building a trusting and safe environment from which to engage in powerful, transformative work.

Differing communication styles are often the source of confusion, frustration, and overwhelm in relationships. They can create the same conflicts over and over again, whether with a partner, family member, or friend. I work with couples and individuals who are highly motivated to improve their relationships, and still really struggle to understand the other’s needs, boundaries, and desires. Together, we will identify and slow down the spots where communication breaks down, and make space for you to reconnect in new ways.

I am a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker based in Denver, Colorado. I work with individuals, couples and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, substance abuse, OCD, relationship issues, perinatal concerns, parenting, and identity work. I am specifically trained in issues related to sexual and gender identity as well as culture and race. Through our work together, we can help you learn about the ways you relate to yourself and others, and identify and break out of patterns that are not serving you anymore while ensuring you feel seen, heard, and understood.

We all deserve a time and a place to honor mental and emotional needs, heal from painful experiences, and move toward improving our lives and relationships. I look forward to working with you, as you navigate the ever-winding and changing road of life, to find routes that feel meaningful to you. We all have different wants, needs, abilities and desires when it comes to choosing these routes. My job as your therapist is to provide an evidence-based and individually tailored approach to assist you on this journey.

I believe that your story, your pain, your difficulties and your joys all contribute to your unique self. We live in a world that would otherwise wish us to be more or less the same in order for the world to remain comfortable. What I believe my mission is, is to help you be more comfortable with YOU, your feelings, and with your story so that you may feel ALIVE. And that when you come alive, the world benefits from that gift. My work primarily focuses on the needs specific to women (though not limited), transitional phases of life, relationship issues, young adults and teenagers. We will laugh as much as we may cry. That is living.

Now accepting new clients - evening slots available! Being a human can be an intense experience and you are not alone! I usually see clients who are looking to process stress, overwhelming emotions, identities, relationships, past experiences, and the ways societal expectations have influenced their lives. I also see couples and people in relationships who are navigating the challenges of partnership and who hold intersecting identities. I am poly/queer informed. I also offer superbills to submit to your insurance to get reimbursement for our sessions.

I am a board-certified bariatric counselor candidate and have advanced perinatal mental health training through Postpartum Support International. I have experience in and enjoy working with concerns related to life-limiting illnesses, grief and loss, chronic diseases, eating disorders, body image, sports performance, substance use, perinatal mental health, infant loss, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
