Therapists in Southeastern Denver, Denver, CO

I know sometimes it feels like no one can help you. That you are too much, too dark, and too broken to be helped. Sometimes trauma can manifest by cutting, eating disorders, depression, chaos, and a real struggle to maintain friendships. It can be hard to even picture what a stable and consistent life would look like, but it's still something you want. Chaotic feelings feel like they take over you and you struggle to make it through each day. You want to live but still feel suicidal. This is all normal for someone with trauma, someone who has been through abuse, someone who has experienced broken relationships and even toxic ones.

I have worked in mental health for 13 years and have found my passion counseling adolescents and young adults. For the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of working at Children's Hospital where I specialized in crisis work, as well as outpatient and inpatient behavioral services. My experience includes a wide range of mood and personality disorders, suicidal tendencies, self-harming behaviors, anxiety, depression, psychosis, aggression, emotional distress, trauma and abuse. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, emotional support and the LGBTQ+ community.

Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the adolescent and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

There will be a time in everyone’s life when additional assistance is needed to navigate life stressors/transitions. In therapy, I strive to help people regain the best version of themselves via increasing attunement with themselves and providing a space to process experiences. I primarily work with preteens(11-13), adolescents/teens(14-19), young adults(18-25) and adults who are seeking therapy in hopes of improving and better understanding their life.

Life can be hard, and no one knows this better than adolescents, young adults, and the families who love and support them. Intense emotions; urges to engage in impulsive behaviors; navigating social situations and the stress of school; difficulty getting along with parents; the politics of Snapchat, etc! The instability of this time of life offers both challenge and opportunity. Therapy can support young people to harness the chaotic yet formative nature of this time as a catalyst for lasting wellness and growth: Explore one's identity; develop effective coping strategies, practice interpersonal relationship, heal trauma, and more.

There's a difference between wandering around in the past and purposefully connecting what we've been through to our current situations.

Whether we are discussing relationship patterns, past trauma, mood disturbances or otherwise, we can work together to identify what you expect from yourself and others, and how you respond to those expectations. We will figure out how and where new expectations and ways of meeting the world will reshape your life.

Hello, I have been a Licensed Psychologist for over 10 years. I specialize in assessments to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Learning Disorder, Cognitive and/or Adaptive Testing, and Personality and Mood evaluations. I use an integrative and strengths based approach to therapy and assessment, where personal values, beliefs, and strengths are utilized in our work together in therapy. Email or call me today with questions or to schedule an appointment. Please note I currently do not have availability for new therapy clients. I only have availability for assessments.

I love working with people who are struggling with worry and sadness and are looking for a safe space to reconnect with themselves. Clients I work well with often identify as an empath or peacekeeper. They have an honorable capacity for deep thinking and generosity towards others. On the flip side, these strengths can leave people feeling different and drained. We would work well together if you are interested in learning how to turn that empathy inward to ground, feel your feelings, and use the mind to reassure yourself as you make brave, new choices.
