Family Therapy in Denver, CO

I specialize in guiding clients grappling with depression, anxiety, isolation, sexual identity, gender identity, spiritual crisis and integration, religious trauma, personal and spiritual inquiry, career change and other life transitions. My approach to therapy is to accompany my clients in rediscovering their true self, their source of self-compassion, their innate healing power, their autonomy, and their personal authority.

I work with individual and couples to address issues related to infidelity, low self-esteem, identity, family and relationships, substance abuse, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I welcome individuals and couples of all identities and backgrounds and am particularly passionate about working with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am grounded in the belief that therapy should be available to everyone and am committed to creating a space where your voice can be heard. My approach is curious, warm, and direct as I try to understand how you create meaning in your life.

Sometimes we come to a point where we feel like we’ve hit a wall. Maybe you’ve been doing therapy for years, but you still feel like there’s something that needs to break through. If this feels like where you’re finding yourself, I can help. I work specifically with female-identified clients who relate to the idea of being a highly-sensitive person, or HSP. Being a sensitive woman in our world can be a traumatizing experience in and of itself. Beyond that, HSPs often play the role of the scapegoat in abusive family systems, simply because they’re more aware of what’s going on. But there is nothing wrong with how you were made.

Are you struggling with navigating a complex or “toxic” relationship? Despite advice to leave, you feel unable to make a decision? Through exploring past family patterns and attachment styles we’ll illuminate the barriers blocking your relationship growth. I equip clients with new communication tools, incorporating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and help clients tune into their own inner voice (using Somatic mind/body work). We experientially practice these skills together in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Additionally, I am an experienced career counselor and guide clients through career transitions and finding fulfillment.

If you are searching for a therapist that is holistic in nature and will integrate various aspects of your life into your treatment, look no further. As a licensed clinical social worker, I work to increase my client's overall well being and encourage a healthy life balance.

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.

You are an inherently resilient being who may sometimes need support through life challenges, strategies to move through the past or present, or just simply someone safe to talk to, and that is what I am here to help with. Each person is made up of valuable strengths that can be of great use to them in navigating life’s journey—my job is to help you realize and expand upon those strengths to empower themselves, all while in a safe environment. I have worked in intensive outpatient, inpatient, and outpatient settings and use this experience to help my clients wherever they may be on their journey.

As first generation to Indian parents, I saw my parents struggle with cultural differences. They were raised with similar upbringings; however, their beliefs about relationships were starkly different. I never witnessed them talking about their struggles, but rather, they seemed to view their relationship as what was to be expected. Witnessing this relationship dynamic taught me the importance of bringing differences to the forefront. We get so many messages about who we are supposed to be from family, friends, and society. Relationships bring two people with multi-faceted identities together, therefore, it's only natural for relationship issues to arise.

Have you had some of these experiences? "Growing up, we were taught that our business had to stay in the family home. In African American families, this is not only a matter of decorum, it is a rule about safety- safety that is contingent on you being less yourself, and therefore, it is also about shame" (Burke 44).  Or are you living in denial about what you went through or experienced often times just to survive and get through life, or because you never were taught how to express and process your emotions? Burke, T. (2021) You are your best thing. New York, NY: Random House Publishing Group.

Would you describe yourself as a worrier or an overthinker? Someone who has a “complicated” family or childhood? Would people describe you as an overachiever? Or, maybe you ended up on neurodivergent tick tock and you aren’t sure how? Then we might be a good fit! I have experience working with anxiety/depression, perfectionsim, trauma, and adults with childhood trauma who are looking to sort out complex feelings to most importantly, get some relief! I am also LGBTQIA+ affirming.

I also have extensive experience in working with families whose children are facing end-of-life situations, life-limiting illnesses, and chronic health issues.
