Therapists in Mesa, CO

I treat adults who are experiencing the impacts of trauma in their lives. Psychological trauma can come in many forms and can cause a wide range of symptoms. Trauma therapy uses a combination of techniques including the therapeutic relationship to help clients reduce the symptoms they are experiencing and learn to manage triggers and trauma responses in a more effective way.

Your life just isn’t what you expected or going how you want right now—it seems out of your control. You’re doing so much and it’s still not enough—putting on that brave face every day to show up to the grind. You should be more accomplished and feel more fulfilled, but instead, you’re struggling to find your place in the world. It seems like other people don’t get it, and you find yourself in repeated conflict with the ones you care about most. You can imagine how it could be different sometimes, but your self-critic is working on overdrive to stir up doubt and worries about the future. And you’re tired of it... probably exhausted.

I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

Life inevitably involves struggle, pain, and loss. The question is how do we respond to these things so that pain doesn't morph into long-term suffering, and so that meaning, joy, and connection can still be found, even amidst our struggles. That's where I can help. The foundation of my work is building a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you feel understood. From there we can begin to craft effective responses to whatever is troubling you: depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, loss, chronic pain, or more existential concerns about life direction and meaning.

I primarily serve as a Clinical Social Work Supervisor for PACE.

My view of human nature is one full of strength and resiliency. We all have the desire to live healthy and productive lives, but at times we face the challenges of unexpected life events, loss, and stressors. This is where a positive, validating and accepting relationship with your counselor becomes invaluable. Counseling provides a client dedicated time focused on present day issues as well as past experiences still impacting overall wellbeing. Empowerment, believing in yourself and learning how to like, love and accept your whole person is my goal as your therapist.

Are you tense, jumpy or tearful, but not sure why? Do you have irritability, anxiety, depression, poor concentration, troubled sleep or flashbacks? Trauma—past or present—can affect many aspects of your life. I have specialized in treatment of survivors of childhood abuse or adult trauma for 20 years. I have found talk therapy is a start but if you have intrusive thoughts or images, intense emotional reactions, or loss of time, please consider Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy or Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS) therapy for additional relief.
