Therapists in City Park, Denver, CO

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.

Is pornography, cybersex, or sexual addiction impacting your life? Are you feeling alone, sexually rejected, or struggling with low desire in your relationship? Do you want more sexual and emotion intimacy? Are you concerned about your sexual identity or sexual functioning? It is common for people to encounter sexual problems, at any age. What is uncommon is for people to do something about those problems before they irreparably damage their self-esteem and relationships. Left unmanaged, anger, shame, and fear increase. The sooner you come in for help the better chance you have of growing a happy, healthy sexual life.

Are you tired of the constant chatter in your mind, the relentless cycle of overthinking, and the overwhelming anxiety that holds you back from fully enjoying life? Do you do well at work, but find it challenging to form meaningful relationships, navigate intimacy, and fully express your emotions? The weight of anxiety may be holding you back from experiencing the depth of fulfillment and joy you desire. Through the transformative power of somatic psychotherapy, you can experience relief, authentic relationships and a renewed zest for life.

My goal in therapy is to help you know your value, and feel empowered to make the life you want. We can all feel tied down by old stories that no longer serve us. My role is to come along side you and help use the natural ways our body regulates, and mind communicates to help you find the truth in your story. Whether you are suffering the loss of someone you love, going through a major change in your life, desiring to be heard in your relationship or any of the other struggles that make us human, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Are anxiety, depression, and trauma creating roadblocks in your life? Does it feel like there is a disconnect between you and the world around you? It is normal for the trauma stored in your body to create barriers to connection. Unfortunately, these barriers can be incredibly painful and difficult to cope with. You may be experiencing cycles of painful thoughts, days of numbness, or outbursts of anger.

I use a mindfulness based approach in my work with couples and individuals from all walks of life. The majority of my clientele are working on learning how to be more present in the here and now, seeking to improve their relationships, and find life satisfaction. I've help clients make career changes, work through high conflict, rebuilding trust, emotional connection, and intimacy. Clients who work best with me are open to change, willing to let go, and reconnect with their own internal relationships. I also work with ENM and LGBTQIA individuals and couples.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals facing relationship transitions (divorce, coparenting, platonic partnership consideration, etc.), sexual or relational desire and orientation differences (including kink, non-monogamy, and sexual orientation, gender transitions, and more), sexual and religious trauma (for ex., "exvangelicals" and queer folks with oppression trauma), intimate partner violence trauma, healing from a breach of trust, coming out and gender exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. I frequently work with LGBTQIA/queer couples and the parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. I do work with youth 14+.

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.

All of life is layered with loss, pain, hardship, and suffering. In the midst of these layers is the possibility for insight, change, courage, growth, and wholeness. Whatever you bring into the therapeutic space, you are making a courageous decision to pursue healing and tap into your resiliency. Through our work together, you will learn to embrace your unique journey, finding clarity, purpose, and empowerment along the way. My ultimate goal is to help you cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and others, creating a life filled with meaning, fulfillment, and resilience.

Every individual is on a unique path filled with twists, turns, and challenges that shape their life. Sometimes, it can be helpful to walk alongside a companion who is dedicated to working with you to achieve your goals, bring you insight, and empower you to move towards genuine fulfillment. I am passionate about honoring your story and how it shapes your thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs. Because no two individuals are the same, your therapeutic work should reflect your individual needs and objectives. I blend narrative therapy, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and parts work to help you meet your therapy goals.

Do you and your partner(s) constantly fight or avoid each other? Interested in Open Relationship or Non Monogamy? Are you reeling from infidelity? Has conflict in your polycule caused negative impacts in your daily lives? Need support navigating a big life change? Is there disconnect between your current beliefs, how you were brought up, and how you want to live NOW? I can help you embrace these differences and move beyond the beliefs that no longer serve you. Together we can bring your way of life and relationships in line with your beliefs. I accept these aspects of who you are and you to love these parts of you too.
