Psychoanalytic Therapists in Highlands Ranch, CO

When you're feeling out of control, overwhelmed or unable to cope effectively, your life may feel out of balance. Talking to someone about the events or circumstances that led to these feelings can be helpful. Understanding the connection between our thoughts, feeling and actions can be life changing. Sometimes we need to peel back the onion a bit, in a safe environment, to be able to move forward. My goal is to work in collaboration with you to help you feel more prepared to adapt to the feeling and challenges you are experiencing and to learn some skills to be more in control and content with your life.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor specialized in general mental health care. I have experience working with clients who have substance use disorders, mental health disorders, trauma, and criminogenic needs. I believe that therapy is both an art and a science, and I use a multi-factor approach based on each client’s individual needs. I am passionate about clients feeling they are empowered to make their own choices and validating their experiences. In the therapeutic relationship, I see you as the expert of your life. I am merely a guide and observer to help you reach your goals.

I am a clinician with a wide variety of experiences and skills I've gained through dynamic counseling endeavors dedicated to helping others develop their story and empowering them to safely experience and process their emotions, along with the daily challenges they face, both big and small.

I believe that authenticity in relationships is a key foundation when working with my clients. It is my goal to support and help with relationship issues, depression and anxiety, trauma/abuse, addiction and wellness. I work with individuals, couples and families at all levels by helping them produce the effective and positive changes they desire. I believe that every person has the ability to take control of his or her life by empowering themselves. It has been my experience working with different cultures and ethnicities that my clients achieve their goals and recreate new ways of looking at their life.

Have you been thinking about therapy but are unsure or afraid?Have you been deterred by stories of therapy with no results?Therapy can be intimidating, that is why I focus on a welcoming, goal oriented approach that builds a collaborative relationship.I believe in RESULTS and achieving them through an individualized plan, that uses specific GOALS and OBJECTIVES. To achieve this I use my certifications/education in several approaches, as well as a vast referral network. I am deeply committed to 1 goal:for you to live YOUR BEST life.In my 20+years I've witnessed the power of therapy to achieve the happiness you deserve. Are you ready?

Not feeling as good about yourself as you want to? Struggling in some of your relationships? Feel like you are trudging through rather than thriving? Trying to figure out who you are in the midst of difficult people or situations? Ready to do it differently?

I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life. The cornerstone of my practice is the belief in the importance of each client's perspective, their wishes and needs. I believe every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couples, or family therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with clients of all ages. I believe that doing therapy requires an emphasis on empowerment and responsibility. Many people struggle with balancing their own needs with those of others. Every stage of life provides a new opportunity to grow. I will help you understand the root of your emotional pain and will offer suggestions based on empirical evidence and the solutions that have worked for others in similar situations. We will work together to establish the goals of our work.

As an intuitive trauma and grief counselor, I am deeply committed to helping my clients find true healing from complex PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. I am passionate about providing solution focused and lasting results on your journey to a happy life you truly deserve.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. I continuously seek opportunities for professional development and stay up-to-date with latest research and therapeutic techniques.

Additionally, I utilize TF-CBT and am a trained Phase I Brain Spotting Practitioner. Together, we work to achieve the best version of you. Prior to therapy many of my clients struggle with uncomfortable symptoms which isn't something to fear but rather an invitation for positive change. Recovery and personal empowerment are central to the therapy provided.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to see change in their lives. I strive to be trained in and implement various treatment modalities so as to provide the best path for their healing and growth. I understand each person's lived experience is different and even similarities to other people (i.e. DSM-5 diagnoses) are formed due to unique circumstances and reasons in each person's life. This is why I will always tailor treatment to best meet each person's needs.

Traditional, in-person, face-to-face psychotherapy. I have 20 years experience in offering something substantive in a field that is overrun with quick fixes and surface change. Maybe you have been through counseling before and found that concrete coping strategies and tools didn't make a dent, or you have never engaged in therapy and are looking for an open space to explore and dig in deeply. If you're struggling with long-standing emotional or relational difficulties, it may be time to address the root causes of these things. I would be honored to help you change your life, your relationships, and yourself in deep and lasting ways.

Everyone has problems. Not everyone has someone to talk to who actually gets it. I am passionate about providing a practical, interactive, solution-focused treatment approach to therapy.

Wether your marriage is suffering, you find yourself starting over due to divorce, or your struggling with addiction, look no further. I have been where you are.

I work with families, couples, and individuals to help create change, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop a strong sense of self-worth. I believe everyone is capable of growth and transformation. My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, and encouraging. I use humor to provide new ways of relating, encourage movement away from defensive reactions, and add a light touch to intense moments.

AAI can enhance our work on self-awareness, communication, relationships, coping skills, and teamwork.

Navigating through life's losses – be it from divorce, infidelity, death of a loved one, or trauma – can feel like being lost in a maze of grief.

With my experience, ability, and compassionate approach, I'm here to be your companion in this process, guiding you every step of the way without rushing your journey of healing. We will make known the stories and narratives that you’ve are or have experienced that are limiting you from the living a full meaningful life.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

Taking time for yourself to really be heard and supported isn’t selfish, it’s essential!
