Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Clear Creek County, CO

You are unlike any other being that exists. You are a creative force. You go against the grain and it might feel like you don't fit in. Society has tried to box you in for so long that you've pushed away and hidden little parts of your soul. You may have numbed your feelings and ignored your heart's desires as a trade for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy, but this is what I know for sure: we all have an innate healing capacity within us waiting to be unearthed, seen, and nurtured. Deep healing comes from exploring and strengthening the connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Life is a journey, often filled with moments of feeling stuck and uncertain about ourselves and our path. Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, reflect inwardly, and connect in order to gain clarity and work towards meaningful change. As your therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, respect, and humor to our work together. My aim is to create a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we will personalize an approach that encompasses all aspects of human experience: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.

Are you going through a change in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed with life, navigating relationships with others, and/or managing emotions? Is stress, depression, or anxiety getting the best of you? You want someone to listen but you feel invalidated by others. You want to build tools to support yourself but don't know where to start.

Embarking on the path of healing and self-exploration is an act of daring. Perhaps the search comes from a place of despair or struggle, yet it is through this gateway of pain that we may find greater meaning and self-compassion. In the process, we may make a friend we have always longed for, ourselves. I would be honored to support your journey of self-discovery and change.

Struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or however your distress manifests makes us feel trapped, in cycles of outbursts or avoidance, and coping in ways that are not sustainable. We blame ourselves bringing us further from feeling connected and closer to feeling ashamed. Typically what we see on the surface is mistaken for ourself and is our way to cope with the issues that lie underneath. Therapy is creating a compassionate and purposeful environment to dive into deeper issues, seeing how these issues present in daily life, and developing relevant skills to free ourselves from these issues.

Courage is the foundation to every client's work. Whether you are making a life decision, addressing your or helping your family member/ love ones' with their psychological struggles, or striving to become who you are and do what truly matters to you... Often times, courage may be disguised as anxiety, fear or painful indecisiveness. Reach a better understanding, through testing or mapping out where you are, and really listen to your symptoms/ guides. Then I encourage you to plant courage through forgiveness and compassion so that you can practice, acceptance, confrontation, working through, and letting go.

Exhausted with your life and wondering how you got here? Confused about your career direction, relationships or making sense of your experiences? Have anxiety, drugs and alcohol or shadows of past trauma become too familiar? Having someone to help you sort through the pieces and re-orient to your own life and values is crucial. Getting to a place of clarity, aliveness and self-awareness is possible and so worth it.

I'm currently accepting new clients and have a few evening openings available! My passion in counseling is working with people who identify within the LGBTQ+ community or within the BIPOC community.
