Therapists in Denver, CO

Do you feel as though you are lacking a sense of direction? Do you feel overwhelmed by changes occurring in your life? Are you lacking fulfillment in your relationships? Distress often arises when we are unable to show up authentically, or when there is difficulty in adjusting to new situations. Therapy can help you show up for yourself so you can show up for the other areas of your life with more ease, and it can help deepen the relationship with yourself.

I have worked in multiple clinical settings with various populations. I appreciate working with clients who are navigating existential crises, those who are looking for a better understanding to the meaning of life. This experience can help clients identify and break negative or unhealthy patterns in their lives. I am a firm believer in the power of perception-shifting, in order to identify a silver lining in even the most difficult situations. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and eclectic. My goal with all of my clients is to walk beside them through their struggles and help them come through their struggles feeling stronger.

Do your emotions feel over-sized and out of control? Do you feel isolated or misunderstood? Does it feel like part of you is holding back? Whether you're struggling with stress, exploring your identity, or navigating a difficult life transition, you deserve a therapy space that feels safe, inclusive and affirming. I utilize a trauma-informed, evidence based, and holistic approach to therapy. I am passionate about supporting clients with the life-long process of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. When working with me you can expect to acquire skills and gain new insight to become the most authentic version of yourself.

Is that painful experience or worry stuck on repeat in your mind? Maybe it was a scary incident, negative comment, embarrassing moment or even a sports injury. Or maybe you're nervous AF about exams, public speaking, or playing in your game. Regardless, you're tired of it bothering you so much. And you're fed up with your fear preventing you from doing what you really want to do. But you're ready to feel calm again. You're ready to perform well and stop questioning your self-worth. And most of all, you want to reclaim joy, move forward with confidence and feel like yourself again. I want to help you get there.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy in addition to supervising other therapists. My passion for helping people in their lives only continues to increase over the years. The feedback I receive is how well understood they feel in the therapy. I have over 18 years of involvement in peer supervision with major emphasis on couples and families. I teach the techniques of mindfulness to assist individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. Pain management,habit control or cessation as well a weight loss responds well to mindful awareness which is part of my practice. With many years of using hypnosis as well as EMDR I have found that these tools offer a full range of possible application to PTSD as well as other forms of anxiety disorders. Beyond problem solving in depth psychotherapy is actualizing personal growth which is at the heart of real change and transformation. I have found when people learn the how to of making these changes they have understandings that can last a lifetime.

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.

Are you feeling over-whelmed, worried, stressed, confused, or conflicted within relationships to the point where it feels tough to manage everything by yourself? Are these feelings impacting your daily life, possibly causing you to struggle with how you see yourself and your choices? Oftentimes life's abundance of challenges and opportunities can interfere with our vision of ourselves and our lives. I'll work with you to develop a therapeutic plan to reach your goals and ultimately feel better and more confident now and in the future no matter what obstacles or distractions may arise.

The clients that I typically work with come from diverse backgrounds and present with struggles across the mental health spectrum. Some of those struggles, but not all, surround anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidality, impulse control, and overall emotion identification and regulation. The clients I work with vary in age, starting in early childhood and continuing on into parenting and adulthood. My ideal client is one that is engaged, open to learning, and motivated for positive change. Therapy can be anxiety-provoking when starting, so having a therapy dog in the room can be extremely helpful when it comes to big emotions.

Finding a therapist is often such a difficult process. It is hard to know what is going to feel helpful when life feels too hard to manage. My hope is that I can help you on the journey and create spaces where it feels safe and accessible to find the help and healing you are seeking. My approach focuses on being curious about how you have learned to relate to others, the ways you feel internally as a result of your experience, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself because of the pain you have endured. The goal is to gain insight into barriers that hinder deep connection with others and hinder your ability to flourish.

Often individuals believe therapy is a monotonous, painful process that requires sitting on the couch for hours over the course of several months or years. As someone who works in the medical and mental health fields, it is an honor to be a part of BLND Health, a company that sees the whole person and brings creativity and fun into counseling. I tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual. It is a great joy to empower people on their journey of growth, healing, and creating a life of fulfillment in unique ways.

You're not sure when it started, or why, but something feels off. You feel the pressure building as you try to balance the things that take your time and energy in life. You want to feel lively, humorous, joyful, motivated, confident, and light, but it doesn't feel available to you. Maybe you've learned to approach life with grit and determination, appearing solid and self-sufficient on the outside, but feeling unfulfilled, unsupported, and disconnected in the inside. Well, all of that sounds hard, and I'm SO proud for you to take time for yourself to see if things can be different and better for you.

`Do you feel like no one understands you or that you struggle to understand yourself? Does anxiety overwhelm you? Is it getting in the way of sleep, relationships and decisions making? I believe it’s time to stand up to yourself and for yourself. Together, we can determine a new course for you. You don’t have to spend your life escaping a difficult reality anymore. You can learn skills to help you face reality, and enjoy the life you have.

With specialities in areas such as trauma, attachment, relationships, anxiety, women's mental health, and adolescents, I hold great value in creating a comforting space for each individual to be heard. If you are looking to create lasting change by learning and unlearning, being vulnerable, facing change, and giving yourself grace and love.. this is it. You're here. When you walk into our therapeutic space, my goal is for it to feel like a big, deep, releasing breath and to empower you to feel that you're already where you want to be. Once again, you're here.

I provide counseling, strategies and tools for overcoming life's obstacles and creating better days for individuals and couples. So many times, dealing with life stressors can become overwhelming. We want to feel better. We know we need something...we just don't know how to get there. My strengths are to help others change negative patterns, communicate more effectively, and make better choices. I will help you become more aware of negative thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of a successful and meaningful life and relationships.

As a passionate and empathetic mental health professional, I seek to provide creative, exploratory therapeutic practices to help children and adolescents flourish. I hold space for children to think, feel, explore, and make sense of their innermost worlds. I seek to enhance their brain/body connections to aid in healthy, autonomous development while healing from past traumatic experiences. My approach is very playful, child-directed, and trauma-informed. I am simply an instrument to help children unlock their unique gifts and potentials. Together, we will work towards integration of mind, body, and spirit.

I work closely with individuals, couples and families whom are struggling with issues such as addiction, substance abuse and other compulsive behaviors, as well as those facing challenges related to their mental health including depression, anxiety and trauma.

Life leads to many instances where we feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a life transition such as starting a new job, parenting, dealing with illness or the loss of a loved one, having an experience that left you scared or, perhaps something else. As people, we have the ability to heal, grow and transform our lives. Many times the path of healing feels stressful and is easier with the support of a counselor. Despite what our society often tells us; we do not have to bear this weight on our own and I am happy to help.

Life is a journey and no one escapes the trials and tribulations that come with living a full life. I believe in hope and I believe in everyone's ability to grow and change to become the best versions of themselves. In a collaborative effort, I can assist in your journey to ensure you have the opportunity to experience your own greatest happiness. I specialize in addictions, trauma, couple counseling, sex therapy, personality disorders, anxiety/depression, bipolar diagnosis, and grief/loss.

Are you tired of feeling stressed, worried, anxious and fearful? Does it often feel like nothing will ever change, and you lose hope and find yourself stuck in the same cycle over and over again? You are not sure what to do but know that something has to change? You don't have to go through this alone, and I get that it can be hard to reach out for support.
