Relational Therapists in 80221

Are you having a difficult time communicating with your loved one? Do you want love, positivity, affection & support out of your relationships? Do you feel like you're banging your head against a wall every time you talk to each other? I am here to help. At Kindred Therapy, PLLC I specialize in working with couples & families who are in distress. We ALL hit road bumps in our relationships & we sometimes need a non biased third party to help everyone get back on track. I am a natural skeptic, so I only used evidence-based, brief psychotherapy modalities that are designed for your relationship to get relief as soon as possible.

Currently I am practicing on telehealth, only. I started my work as a therapist on the East Coast ten years ago and have been practicing in Colorado for five years. My goal in starting this career was to work with people from all walks of life. I have worked with ages 3 to 95 from the East coast to the West. I love working with teens, adults and the elderly. Mental Health is my speciality but I have experience in working with grief, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and family/ relationship dynamics.

Currently accepting new clients. I earned my Clinical Psychology doctorate degree from the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver. Throughout my time in practice, I have worked with a variety of individuals and specialize in working with adults who are struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adjustment and life transitions, family problems, learning problems, and issues related to culture/identity. I use a direct, open, and collaborative approach to foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to engage in creating meaningful change.

Your mind, body, & spirit are important components of a good life. I work with relationships, abuse, bullying, developing a strong and healthy sense of self, sex & gender, & spirituality. Having had a number of experiences with loss and the survival of the soul, I also do lots of grief and hope work over the passing of beloved animals and people. I find that this helps people with anxiety, especially important in our time. I am fully supportive of various orientations and paths to fulfillment, aware of the roles that class, race, and gender play in our lives. Most of all, I want you to find your true self, not a mask imposed on you.

Welcome to my page! What brings you to therapy today? Are you feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or not yourself lately? Do you need some help working through past experiences which are interfering with your life? Are you trying to navigate who you are? Whatever your reason is, I am here for you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and Colorado with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I graduated in 2013 and have been in the counseling field since. My experience involves working with adolescents, families and adults for the past 10 years.

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities & imperfections so we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, & connection that we need to recognize that we are enough - that we are worthy of love, belonging & joy? Life's transitions can be very anxiety provoking & scary -- even those that should be happy transitions, such as starting a family or a new job! My goal is to assist my clients to become skilled at how to navigate these transitions utilizing a blend of techniques and a large dose of humor!

My approach to therapy allows clients the emotional space to examine situations without identifying as the problem themselves. It creates key exploratory distance between self and guilt or shame allowing for curiosity rather than judgment. I strive to elicit an experience that is empowering and illuminating. This is useful if you are seeking resources as a member of a couple or family where fear of blame is a common threat. The parents of my adolescent and young adult clients are relieved to work with someone who sees their unique loved one rather than diagnostics or labels.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Reproductive and Parenting Mental Health Therapist. With a deep understanding of the emotional complexities that accompany the transformative journey of parenthood, I am committed to providing empathetic, evidence-based support to individuals and families during this significant phase of life. I am here to support you through all phases from fertility treatment if need, through pregnancy and through early childhood parenting and attachment/mental health concerns.

Are you experiencing persistent feelings of dissatisfaction? Do you feel stuck? Are you having difficulty communicating with loved ones or others? I have been in private practice for 20 years and have worked in the behavioral health field for over 30 years. I have extensive experience working in hospitals and clinics and have helped individuals, couples and families grow and return to wholeness. I am committed to help you move forward and make positive changes in your life. I am certified in both Imago Relationship Therapy(IRT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a treatment for trauma.

We strongly believe in each persons potential and ability to make changes and create happiness. Our clinicians are highly trained in a wide array of specialties.

You will find me to be an authentic & direct therapist that will focus on your values & strengths to guide the therapy process. My philosophy is that therapy is the space to get into how & why what you’re trying to do differently isn't working, (because you probably already have enough people willing to tell you) what you should be doing with your life. I won’t promise that therapy will make the hard stuff in your life go away, but what I know it can do is help you find a way through the hard stuff with meaning & help build resilience.
