Therapists in Aurora, CO

Supervision available. I offer an Afrocentric view of psychotherapy coupled with honesty, humor, and compassion. I believe in the potential to coexist with the events of the past while fueling the future. Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born from the lack of Afrocentric-based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their life journey through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health, and the denial of the everyday experience of being a person of color continue to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to discuss these experiences.

I am a seasoned master's level psychotherapist with 20 years of experience. I work with an interactive and direct style to help you move to a higher level of health both personally and relationally. Family Systems Theory helps me identify the connection of past hurt and pain to the your present concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Theory gives us tools for changing automatic responses to more desirable ones. I work with couples to enhance their communication styles and to resolve conflicts. I also like to work with premarital couples exploring strengths as well as potential growing edges.

Collaboratively, we focus on healing, resilience, and reconnection. Feeling ashamed is scary and overwhelming. These feelings are more common than we admit and stem from a variety of factors. It makes sense to respond to unpleasant emotions by burying, avoiding, or resisting. If unprocessed, these beliefs impact our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and lives--leaving us repeating painful patterns and shaping our perceptions and relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, adolescents , families and couples . Through these years I have learned that therapy is a journey that we will take. I can guide you but you will choose what path you will ultimately take. I have worked with a variety of people from different backgrounds, ages and cultures. I will meet you where you are in your life now and we will work to move forward in your life. I am a very genuine and down to earth person.

Have you been feeling stuck and are ready to feel empowered again? My first step as a psychotherapist is to meet the client where they are at in any given phase in treatment. I build rapport through my sense of warmth and empathy. The next step is to provide reflections so that the client can gain self-awareness and clarity, identifying patterns and understanding how systems and cultural factors have influenced the messages we have received throughout our lives. With this gained knowledge, the goal is to identify what has no longer been serving us so that we can reach empowerment and self-efficacy.

If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, feeding and eating disorders, relationship concerns, or postpartum struggles I want to help you. I like to collaborate with my clients to aid them in identifying areas of struggle, creating workable goals and plans to help move forward in the change process and re-write unhelpful internal dialogue while creating fresh perspective. I am glad to integrate personal stories, faith, values, DBT and CBT concepts, narrative techniques, and behavioral strategies in tailored ways for each individual.

My style of therapy is one of collaboration. I will start with you where you are. With my education and experience, in combination with your life experiences, we will make a great team. I recognize that therapy is hard work and I will be there to provide support, encouragement, insight, guidance, information and interventions along the way.

“What is wrong with me?” you think to yourself. You feel disconnected from others. You don’t feel as though anyone truly understands you or gets you. You keep talking to your family, friends, or partner about the same issue but there is no resolution. They keep asking, “What do you actually want?” but your mind goes blank. Or you know what you want, but you vocalizing your wants would hurt important people in your life. Or you don’t think what you want is important as you’ve navigated your entire life with putting your wants and needs last.
