Teletherapy for Aurora, CO

If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, feeding and eating disorders, relationship concerns, or postpartum struggles I want to help you. I like to collaborate with my clients to aid them in identifying areas of struggle, creating workable goals and plans to help move forward in the change process and re-write unhelpful internal dialogue while creating fresh perspective. I am glad to integrate personal stories, faith, values, DBT and CBT concepts, narrative techniques, and behavioral strategies in tailored ways for each individual.

Many people experience mental health concerns that feel isolating, like anxiety, grief, depression, loneliness, and more. Some have a traumatic or difficult past that can surge to the surface unexpectedly, making your day difficult. Nobody is too far gone, crazy, or unreasonable for experiencing these things. I like to jump in with you and figure it out together! I fit my services to you, rather than expecting you to fit to me. I like to learn what makes you grow, change, and be motivated, and then go from there.

My approach to therapy focuses heavily on building a genuine therapeutic relationship. Sometimes, the things that have helped us survive are not the things that will help us thrive. I work with people to lean more heavily on the behaviors that will help them thrive. I am aware of the impact that racism, homophobia, transphobia, monosexism, ablelism, fatphobia, classism, xenophobia and the intersections between, can have on individuals and groups. My overall goal is for you to feel safe being yourself!

Over years of experience, I have discovered that people develop a way of thinking about themselves, others, the world. How we think determines how we experience life. This way of thinking includes negative beliefs that we develop about ourselves. There's really only a handful and they sound something like "I don't matter" or "I'm worthless," "It's never good enough" or maybe "something is wrong with me." These beliefs keep us stuck because they are not just in our heads. They are connected with emotional experiences, often very painful. So even though we know we're worthy, we don't feel worthy.

As a Depth Psychological oriented therapist with over 20 years of experience, I help people through life's difficulties. I see clients who are: feeling drained, depressed or anxious; struggling with feeling that something is “wrong” with them because of their current challenges; having difficulty navigating a relationship that they aren’t sure is good for them; struggling to “get over” something emotional they’ve gone through; having difficulty finding meaning or purpose in their life or wondering about the greater story they are living out and how the psyche is pushing them towards this.

I understand and I have experienced depression and anxiety and what it's like to be addicted to alcohol and drugs. I have 26 years of recovery and I couldn't have done this without the help of those who would listen. I see individual adults for therapy. I also see adults with life transitions, ptsd, stress, anti-social disorders, family/social relationships, grief, medical/physical focus, multicultural/diversity issues, suicidal ideation and/or self-harming, bipolar, relationship therapy, spirituality, and trauma.

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, impacts from past traumas or generally feeling down about yourself, I am here to walk alongside you. I believe that everyone is capable of deep healing and personal growth. I will work to create a nurturing and grounded space where you can feel supported to uncover the root causes of what might be creating current challenges in your life and support you to find healing. I will help you understand the science behind the impact of stress and trauma on your brain and body, while helping you build ways to self-regulate and process past wounds.

There is no such thing as normal life- there is just life. It is up to us to define what life is like for us now and how we want life to be.

How you feel matters and will always resonate with you. Creating different techniques to help you externalize issues, understand your core self, and disrupt unhealthy patterns will help to transform you, your family, and your outlook on life as you see it. Let's work together to create the best impeccable version of yourself.

Change is hard. Growing into the best version of yourself is worth it. I've been practicing for over 20 years and have grown to believe kindness and authenticity are the key to helping people get unstuck. I've worked with clients all over the world as a trauma and relationship specialist. I think it's an honor to help people when they need it most. I love the mentality of Kintsugi, the idea that our vulnerabilities (and sometimes scars) are what make us the most beautiful and unique. Everyone deserves love, however that looks.

Are you stressed? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Sad? Maybe you're trying to navigate some difficult relationship or family issues. Maybe you're trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be in life. Maybe you're just not exactly sure what's going on. Let's try to figure it out together. I work with MEN and LGBTQ+ clients ages 18+ and I would love to support you on your journey. Please note: My practice is exclusively telehealth based.

While everyone develops strategies to withstand adverse experiences, over time, these once essential ways of being, coping, & relating to others & yourself can cause distress & overall dissatisfaction with life. My goal as your therapist is to collaboratively develop a relationship built on compassion, authenticity, and a dash of humor so that together we can understand your unique needs, values, and motivations.

Openings available! Hello there! Many times the chaos life throws at us leaves us processing difficult things on our own, without a community to walk alongside, which leaves us unsure how to proceed. Before long, the anxieties, depressions, and traumas of the human experience will haunt us in one way or another. Individuals who have recently embarked upon the decision to change some part of their story inspire me with their desire to discover life anew. If you are hungry to grow into the awareness of how we end up belonging with ourselves, our pasts, and with those alongside us, I might be the resource you have been looking for.

Visit our website for direct, immediate, online scheduling. A lucky few “get it right” the first time. For most of us, life is a process of learning as we evolve, as we edge closer to becoming the person we want to be. I am here to support you in this evolution.

Are you highly sensitive? Emotionally repressed? Strong stoic one? It is OKAY to FEEL! Life is hard, perfection is a mirage, and overthinking can trap us. Growing up, maybe you were told being vulnerable was weak. That you had to be "perfect." Let's change that! It's time to rediscover the beauty of imperfection. It's in practicing vulnerability that our true power emerges. Let's excavate your mind, dismantle barriers brick by brick, so that you can discover the strength in "flaws." You are enough. Embrace your emotions, deepen your connections, and discover your true voice. Let's the journey toward self-acceptance and joy begin!

The most important part of building a therapeutic relationship is to know that I am not the expert of your life. I use empathy and create a non-judgmental environment, allowing humor and the collaborative effort to work towards realistic goals.
