Therapists in Lakewood, CO

At 7 years old, I already had an idea of what would become my passion. I found myself choosing to put sleep aside when called on for immediate support. I became a shoulder for everyone to lean on. I have been a catalyst of change for many people. I inspire clients to change their perspective on life and encourage them to explore their feelings. I view everyone as an onion, depending on the different life experiences and trauma they have been through. I believe they dictate the external stimuli of multiple layers. I aspire to support clients through many avenues, including group facilitation, couple & family, and individual sessions.
