Therapists in Highland, Denver, CO

We all want to feel seen and heard in our closest relationships but sometimes struggle to know how to foster that feeling. It can be difficult to express how we are feeling to another person, especially if we fear their reaction. I help clients build the tools for effective interpersonal communication while maintaining their own values and sense of self. In my approach, I guide clients to use their emotions as a tool for understanding their needs and boundaries. I support individuals, couples, and families who are wanting to improve their relationships, whether that be with themselves, their partners, or family members.

I exclusively offer weekend appointments in order to make therapy more accessible to busy professionals and families. You might find you are reliving the same patterns and cycles over and over again in your family, your relationships, your career, or your behaviors. Likely this has caused worry, hurt, anger, or feelings of sadness. Through exploring these patterns or themes, we will work together to gain insight and understand their cause. New skills and strategies will be gained as well, so that you, or your family, can move forward towards happiness.

SERVICIOS EN ESPAÑOL- You are free to be YOU. We will find comfort in the shared human experience and create space for the possibilities of growth far beyond the walls you previously built to protect yourself but which are no longer serving you. I strive to create a space of non-judgement, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to meet you wherever you are at and facilitate your personal journey. Together, we can rewrite the stories you may have been living in pre-defined by shame, trauma, culture, stigma, and external expectations.

I am a playful and warm-hearted therapist. Authenticity is my love language! As your therapist, I will provide honest & direct feedback, always coupled with kindness and support. I value humor & deep connections. I prefer to be active & dynamic during our sessions, rather than just a passive listener. I have tattoos. Colorful language is welcome in my room. And I love a good meme. I am a mixed-race, queer, neurodivergent woman. I am particularly dedicated to supporting neurodivergent, queer and trans individuals / couples on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I truly love and honor being a safe space for others.

Accepting new clients! I am passionate about helping my clients to become the very best versions of themselves but understand that even the small steps are a huge leap in achieving this. Some of my specialties include life changes, anxiety, depression, fostering relationships, and all that comes with being a young adult.

Life can indeed feel like a relentless roller coaster with its ups and downs, stressors, and uncertainties. Whether it's the challenges of balancing work or school, making life-altering decisions, or navigating relationships, you might find yourself facing patterns or habits that no longer align with your growth.

Accepting new clients! Suffering is part of being human. Sometimes we can take actions that remove our suffering, but sometimes we have to come to a level of acceptance that suffering is always present. Often, this mindset alone relieves some of our pain because we are no longer being bombarded by the thought of controlling our emotions. I strive to help you get there, releasing yourself from the trap of overwhelming thoughts so you can be more present, make room for your emotions, and take actions that represent who you want to be. My goal is to provide an environment that caters to your needs of safety and expression.

Hello and welcome! As an LCSW therapist, I am committed to helping you find your path while ensuring you feel safe and supported in the process.

Whether you are working through trauma, struggling with addiction, in the grieving process or simply needing support, I am here to work with you to achieve your therapy goals.

As queer women, we often have more challenges to navigate than others and sometimes we need extra support. I can provide you with that support. I work with queer women who are struggling with feelings of stress, relationships concerns, dating, anxiety, parenting, marriage, depression, & frustration. I also help people struggling with ADHD and with grief/loss. I am a doctoral level psychologist & have graduated & trained in programs accredited by the American Psychological Association.

As a young woman who felt very intimidated (actually, terrified) to make that first call to find a therapist in her early twenties - I get where your headspace may be right now. I understand how complex female mental health is (hello, hormones!) and how scary it is to come face to face with the parts of yourself that have been ignored or feel too stuck to change. I am here to tell you what nobody told me as a young woman, though...that on the other side of this fear is the lighter, more joyful and fulfilled version of yourself that was hidden out of sight. And I am confident that our work together will help you reconnect to her.

I believe that every person has the ability to be their true self while living their most authentic life. During life, there are times when we may need to connect with others who will help guide us in the unpredictable moments that may cause struggle. I’m here to help you learn tools, find your inner strength, and regain hope when life is challenging by providing creativity, compassion, and empathy. My goal is to collaborate with you while we navigate your mental health journey together and provide you with a nonjudgmental, caring, and safe space.

Hi! I'm glad you've landed on my page. I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right therapist, so let me tell you a little bit more about myself to see if we might be a good fit. My style as a therapist is laid back, collaborative, and conversational. My approach is to meet you wherever you are at in life, talk through where you want to be, and work together to get there. I hope to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can dive deep, be challenged, heal and grow.

Do you have everyday, ordinary life struggles that you think aren’t ‘big enough’ for therapy? Or maybe you find yourself dealing with more severe issues of anxiety, depression, postpartum, or substance use? Regardless of your starting point it’s okay to admit you can’t do it alone; we were made to be social creatures. As a licensed professional counselor, my goal is to empower you to be the expert of your own life while simultaneously journeying alongside you as we navigate finding solutions together.

One of the bravest things you can do is invest in yourself and begin therapy. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, dealing with grief/loss, struggling in relationships or have found therapy unsuccessful in the past, contact me. I've seen my clients transform, even when things seem hopeless to them. We will work together to understand your obstacles and to help you acquire the skills needed to overcome them. My approach is interactive and includes feedback, reflection, challenge, and humor. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other evidenced based treatments. I also offer coaching.

Are you having a past trauma flare-up? Finding yourself using your superpowers to be awesome at work but then annoyed and snapping at your partner? Are you cool, calm, collected for everyone else when they have a problem but not able to ask for what you need? Feeling on edge, body numb, but when you check out the real details of the situation you know you are reacting to old events? Maybe you have even talked about some of this in therapy before and understand what’s happening but you are still flying into over protection mode before you even know it’s happening. I’m here for you.

Are you someone who wants to explore your own depths, to better understand why you act the way you do, to break old patterns & work towards being your best self? Do you have concerns about managing anxiety, your career, your relationships, or life transitions that can feel overwhelming? If you are someone who would like to learn tools you can use to promote your overall wellness, build your sense of self-esteem, and grow, therapy is a great way to accomplish all this and more. By reading this & looking for someone to talk to, you have taken the first step in your own self-growth and that is something you should be proud of yourself.

I believe everyone deserves a warm, safe space to process life's experiences, so that is what I strive to provide! I specialize in supporting young adults, adults, and college students to compassionately navigate their inner world- working through things like anxiety, depression, trauma, life stressors/transitions, self worth, identity, and relationships. I work collaboratively to support my clients in connecting to their emotions, understanding how experiences have shaped patterns of thinking and behaving, healing wounds of the past, finding effective coping strategies, and promoting self-acceptance to create meaningful change.

I strongly believe in the protective and positive intention of all challenging emotions and patterns of thought. My goal is to help my clients explore the sources of these patterns, listen to their unmet needs, and then work with these feelings in order to get the need met in a healthy way. I also encourage clients to increase their tolerance of these uncomfortable emotions, which then allows for growth. I validate, support, and accept clients right where they are, while also challenging them to take the lead in their progress and personal growth.
