Therapists in Broomfield, CO

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

Are you struggling with your relationships, depression, anxiety, and past trauma? Perhaps you have experienced sexual abuse in your past and you are having trouble with current relationships. Are you a juvenile who has committed a sexual offense? Counseling can help. I use EMDR, it is a type of therapy that can be done to address those memories and clear a path to a happier, healthier you. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a therapy that can help people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Here is a link to a video to introduce you to EMDR: https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

Hello! Thank you for taking a few moments to read about me. I genuinely hope you find the help you are seeking. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have many years of experience working with adults with varying backgrounds. The majority of my experience involves working with PTSD, Trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship patterns and depression.

Pregnancy and postpartum life can feel daunting, lonely, and overwhelming. The expectations put onto mothers to feel "overjoyed" and have it all together often leaves new or expectant moms feeling shamed into silence that "something must be wrong with me" for feeling afraid, lost, depressed, or missing their old self/life/relationship with their partner. This is the most vulnerable time in a person's life. You are not crazy. It is hard. You get to make your well being a priority. The core of my work lies in supporting women in all stages of life.

I work with adults, couples and older adolescents (16+) who are coping with a wide variety of life challenges including depression, anxiety, acute or chronic illness, physical pain, caregiver stress, sleep difficulties, relationship strain, divorce, trauma, role changes, life transitions, grief and loss. I also have extensive experience in medical social work, palliative care, and facilitating difficult end-of-life planning discussions.

The path through life can be difficult and leave you feeling overwhelming and stuck. In turn, it becomes challenging to feel like yourself and enjoy everyday activities. I believe that getting in touch with your authentic self will help you face those blocks that hold you back.

“I constantly have racing thoughts.” “I feel like I’m constantly on alert and on edge.” “I’m irritable and lose it with my partner or my kids and then feel guilty.” “I feel like I don’t belong.” These are just a few of the things I hear from clients who come to me to work on depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship issues.

My practice is focused on understanding the individual needs of each of my clients and learning about the experiences, values, identities, and cultures that shape them. My priority is to provide you with the rapport, space, and resources needed to grow, learn, and improve your life in a safe, affirming environment. Whether you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, life transitions, or the general stress of everyday life, I would love to explore how I can be of assistance to you.

As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe, accepting environment where clients of all ages are free to discover, explore and live out of their most authentic selves. It is my desire to support both adolescents and adults in their journey toward growth and healing so that they may find balance and joy in their lives.

I work with you to move past and transform traumatic events that have blocked you from living life to the fullest. I individualize treatment using modalities like EMDR and Brainspotting therapy to enable you to live fully in your present, plan effectively for the future, and not be hindered by your past. I work to align with you and with your goals, holistically. If you're ready to get started on your healing, and committed to see yourself grow and change, contact me via phone, email, or my website today!

Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing therapeutic services to individuals fifteen years and older who are experiencing various issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood instability, substance abuse issues, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. I also see people who choose to attend therapy during times of change in their lives and individuals who feel they just need a place to talk. Additionally, I complete diagnostic assessment and psychological testing, as well as evaluations for individuals involved in Social Security applications and legal proceedings.

You expect a lot of yourself, and when you struggle to keep up, you feel guilty and your inner critic pulls out the megaphone. Even when you have some time to relax, you find yourself focusing on all the other shit you "should" be doing. Maybe you want more from life and you're not sure what that looks like or how to make it happen, and you want your inner critic to quiet down and take a day off (or two!) I offer traditional talk therapy as well as Brainspotting, which is a bottom-up approach to treating trauma, performance anxiety, and other concerns.
