Therapists in City Park, Denver, CO

Do you want something different in your marriage, relationship or work life but just can't figure out how to make it happen? Are you tired of being tired and stressed? I am passionate about helping individuals and couples discover when old ways of coping no longer work and replace them with new, more productive alternatives. I coach my clients to recognize problem patterns, effectively communicate their needs, relieve stress, and improve relationships with the important people in their lives.

I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples to uncover their limiting beliefs, discover inner strengths and create a vision of how to enhance their relationships. Ideally, clients are eager to learn how to speak their truth and are open to making changes in their lives to improve their situations. Using models of John Gottman, Sue Johnson, NLP, IFS, science-based relationship enhancement techniques, I enjoy helping clients who come to sessions willing to identify the root of their struggles, set goals and create a plan to develop skills to navigate life's ever-changing circumstances.

Clients who benefit most from working with me are interested in gaining self-awareness, improving interpersonal relationships, and enhancing how they experience life. Therapy with me often focuses on understanding emotional patterns and developing new coping strategies. While therapeutic work is often aimed at resolving a current crisis, many clients find that linking current issues to past experiences is helpful in promoting personal growth rather than just fixing a situation.

Life is demanding. Sometimes it helps to have a place where you can slow down and think, feel, and talk at your own pace. If you’re feeling stuck or dealing with stress, therapy can help. We can explore whatever feels meaningful to you.

Hi there, I'm Amanda! I'm happy you're here and am excited to tell you what therapy with me looks like. Some key takeaways of my therapeutic style are that I offer direct feedback, express my empathy, and uncover the root of client’s issues to guide them toward transformative healing. Clients explain my therapeutic style as disarming, trusting that my direct feedback comes from a place of compassion. I’m passionate about uncovering the root of the client’s issues, believing that therapy is most beneficial when I can develop a secure relationship with my clients and empower them to grow.

People grow and flourish in relationship. A good long-term relationship encourages self-respect and gives the added benefit of life long connection to another person who can supports, touch and cares over a life time. I understand that long term intimacy is hard work. I help couples do this necessary work with skill, patience and tenacity. Sexual problems in a relationship cause hurt, anger, shame, and loneliness. I provide a safe informative environment to solve sexual and couple problems.

Watch how a person builds a sandcastle, a philosopher once said. The first person will proceed hesitantly, fretting about the inevitable return of the waves. The second person won't even start: why bother, the tide will only destroy it. The third person embraces the unavoidable and throws themself into the work regardless, joyful but not oblivious. We often feel like all three people at once, leaving us confused and stuck. The aim of my work is emotional intelligence, which is the capacity to reconcile the contradictions inside ourselves in order to become more vital, creative, flexible, and accepting of our self.

Have you experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or negative self-worth? Have you become stuck in negative patterns of poor self-care, disordered eating, or interpersonal relationships that are draining or even abusive? I have dedicated my practice to helping others heal and break free from negative cycles of abuse - both within and outside oneself.

Availability update: Sun-Wed AM + early afternoon in-person and/or telehealth. Finding a therapist is so much fun! Said no one, ever...We're likely a fit if you feel like others' don't get you/your lifestyle, consider yourself an outlier, or identify with a marginalized community, and/or is a high-risk/risk-taker. Also, if you use substances recreationally, medicinally, spiritually, and/or problematically I'd love to hear more and support your relationship with those substances. Contact me to schedule a free consultation and we can discuss more in detail than what 640 characters allow. Stay rad & be kind.

Therapy can offer hope during times of depression or anxiety, when dealing with past or current trauma, or when making major life changes. It can also help you to respond thoughtfully and creatively rather than anxiously or destructively. I am a firm believer in learning to be open and curious about yourself, instead of using judgement or harsh self criticism. We'll work together to identify strengths you can use when making important life changes and, to build coping skills to navigate difficult emotions, trust and relationship issues, and old beliefs you might have about yourself.

Relationships are a skill that require practice. Most of us have been exposed to, or surrounded by, poor models of relating. Whether you've observed or been involved in relationships characterized by avoidance, passive-aggression, people-pleasing, dishonesty, or abuse...there is hope. Can you be present with an open mind, spirit of curiosity, and a willingness to try new things? New patterns can be learned, and these patterns can replace the ones that cause disconnection and misunderstanding. Healing isn't always comfortable, but that's why they call it "growing pains" :)

Do you find yourself caught in a loop of always trying hard but never feeling like enough? Do you hear your inner voice overthinking and being critical far too often? Maybe you can recall anxiousness or concern from a young age and struggle to feel truly connected to others. Changing these ways may feel impossible and stepping out of these patterns can seem daunting but you may feel that little revolt within to break away from these cycles. That part boldly dreams of a new era filled with confidence, genuine connections, and healing.

Together, we'll transform pain and isolation into meaningful insight, self-love, connection and powerful, emotional strength. I’m a couples’ therapy expert and adult wellness specialist.

My desire to care for people and improve their quality of life, combined with my own healing journey, are what made me fall in love with counseling. I really believe that we are not meant to face life's challenges alone. Life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling weary, uncertain, and stuck. But I believe that within every person is a wellspring of strength and resilience waiting to be discovered. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, untangle the knots of trauma, anxiety, confusion, and hurt, and forge new paths toward freedom and wholeness.
