Family Therapy in Denver, CO

Grief and loss can leave you feeling shattered, as though you will never experience joy again. Life losses take many forms: The loss of a loved one, suicide loss, life transitions, loss of a relationship, physical losses, psychological losses, loss from trauma, financial losses, loss of a pet, loss from natural causes, and so on. It's difficult knowing where to turn for help during these times. Finding someone to help you navigate your grief journey is important to your healing and wholeness. I will provide the help you are looking for in a safe and supportive setting, as you walk through life's struggles.

* I am no longer accepting new clients* I believe the most profound change occurs within relationships. Whether that be the therapeutic relationship, a relationship with yourself, a partner, parent, child, or family member, relationships in all their forms have the ability to foster new ways we see and interact with ourselves and others. While relationships impact us, they do not define us. Each individual carries the strength within them to make the change they wish to see.

Have you just been feeling every kind of ‘stuck’ these days — be it in your relationships , and/or, within yourself internally lately? Longing to feel for the first time or, to come back to that fruitful, energizing, and wholesome place we feel when we experience total emotional security? Do you long to reconnect with yourself or a loved one again but feel a guard or emotional block within your dynamic that, try as you might just feels like a continual cycle of the same communication barriers, misinterpretations and inaccurate assumptions from one another each time you attempt to repair or have your side feel seen/heard?

I utilize humor, metaphors, and experiential activities to help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, I identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in treating clients with trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy can help with navigating life transitions, identity, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. I seek to listen, explore where you've been, and identify current sources of distress.

I'm here to offer some suggestions about strategies, treatment modalities, and approaches that may help you meet your goals in a way that fits for you.

Life is constantly changing and evolving. Sometimes we need a little support to take care of ourselves, reach our goals or to make strong, lasting relationships with the people we love. No one is an island. People need people to feel connected and lead fulfilling lives. Let me help you do the same. Here at Serenity Counseling Services, we believe in supporting our clients through fostering authentic connection, establishing direction with values and not merely goals, and restoring meaning and purpose to the lives of clients and their families.

Human beings are wired for connection. That means that we spend the entirety of our lives seeking and maintaining relationships — both with ourselves and with others. When these relationships go awry, we can often find ourselves feeling alone and helpless. The pains from the past and the uncertainties of life can leave us feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Sound familiar?

As a queer counselor, I look to empower clients to love and embrace their authentic selves. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a plan to manage challenges, make changes, and build skills. I am trained in both CBT and EMDR and use these modalities in coordination with mind-body practices with individuals 12 years of age and up to make long-lasting changes. Additionally, I provide one-time evaluations for GAC (gender-affirming care) and ESA (emotional support animal) letters.

Finding the right support shouldn’t be so difficult. It can be really challenging just to identify all of the relevant factors in why we seek treatment. When we are ready to make change because something is not working, there is not always a simple answer or one intervention. Often we need to look from multiple perspectives and approach things in different ways to solve life’s complicated issues.
