Therapists in Colorado

I believe that finding the right therapist to assist you in your journey is often like finding a pair of shoes that has the right fit. This process can be arduous and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community as I identify as an LGBTQIA2S+ individual myself.

In a failing relationship, or failing to succeed in your professional or academic pursuits? Call me today to reclaim that meaningful relationship you desire, or to begin experiencing success in your vocation or studies. I have spent over 30 years helping people develop, maintain, and revive meaningful long-term relationships, and to achieve success in their work and studies. With my training in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling, Psychoanalytic and Depth Psychotherapy, Biofeedback and Neurofeedback training, I can help you.

I work especially with people who struggle with their intimate and social relationships, who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, insomnia, chronic pain, or chronic illness, or with those who need more support, more positivity, help starting a career, or a better process of coping in their life due to a stressful moment or transition. I see clients of all ages, as well as couples and families.

We enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who mindfully explore value-driven goals. We welcome you to share your strengths and primary concerns and we develop a measurable solution-focused plan to effect maximized solid change speedily. We identify what can change and what needs acceptance and how to create both. We compassionately offer skills/techniques to reduce anxiety/stress, improve sleep, mood, communication, and resiliently function. We identify triggers, images, thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences that cause difficulties and process them to create an optimally healthy mind.

I work with creatives, professionals, and men. On New York State of Mind, Nas sings, "I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.” Maybe you too aim for excellence, work hard, and crush goals. But you haven’t found a work-life balance, or your current role is smaller than your aspirations. Or you relate to Propaganda's line “I’m not the artist I’m the canvas” and you create and inspire others through art, music, design, etc. But you are not inspired in daily life. It’s hard to translate that creative process to your personal habits, relationships, coping skills and day to day living.

I am currently taking new clients for telehealth sessions! Please reach out if you are in need of services! I have worked with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, postpartum mood, trauma, and relationship struggles. My background includes working with kiddos, teens, young adults, and adults. It is an honor to listen to your story, and assist you in any way I can!

"Connection - The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship" (Brene Brown).

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

Let’s face it, life is difficult. While many people eventually find ways to manage their problems one way or another, working with an experienced and trained professional will likely get you the best results in a much shorter amount of time. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Denver, CO with over 20 years of experience helping pre-teens, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings, such as private practice, community mental health, and public & private schools. I focus on clients' strengths and past successes to help them build upon and develop new and effective solutions for how they operate in life.

Do you often feel anxious, disconnected, depressed, or burned out? Maybe you're struggling to function in daily life, and responding to triggers with helpful coping skills. I help highly sensitive, creative, and compassionate people like you get “unstuck” by harnessing their inner resources, processing trauma, and reconnecting to the empowerment of personal values, authenticity, and compassion.

Schedule now through my website in my bio! I am a Counselor in Lakewood, Colorado. My goal is to help you not just get through life but live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, including adolescents, adults, and couples. Therapy is not easy, and it can be challenging to explain your feelings and experiences to someone who doesn't know you well. I believe there are many reasons we struggle with mental health issues or addiction. Therefore, my approach is tailored to your needs to work toward the best possible outcome.

I have spent the last 30 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples cultivating a treatment approach that aides in creating quick, long lasting, permanent change. This has led me down a path of studying the neurobiology of the brain and using treatment methods including Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and the Neuro-Psychology of the brain. I teach both nationally and internationally on these treatment interventions. Ask about my intensives.

I love working with clients who are feeling stuck. It's that moment when things start to seem brighter and less burdensome for my clients that makes being a therapist so rewarding. I work with a lot of people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or low motivation that keeps them from doing what they want to do or being the person they want to be.

Welcome! I’m glad you’ve decided to reach out for counseling, as I know it can often be a difficult step to take. I look forward to getting to know you as you explore what brought you here. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field working with individuals of all age ranges. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and utilize a person-centered approach, where I meet each individual where they are at on their journey towards wellness. I believe in the mind-body connection and the importance of using a holistic approach to building resilience and meeting life’s challenges.

I have 40 years in the mental health field and have worked in the Boulder/Longmont area for 32 years. I provide psychotherapy to people of all ages (age 3 and up) and facilitate healing with a variety of approaches. I specialize in healing from trauma and utilize EMDR and Brainspotting, which I've found to be highly effective.

I find therapy most potent, important, and meaningful when there is a mix of: compassion/spaciousness (non-judgment); curiosity/levity (as appropriate); & choicefulness. From my background in Somatic Counseling/Body Psychotherapy, I make use of my own body, and body-based (a.k.a. somatic) tracking, applied moment-to-moment in the room with clients. Sometimes this is as simple as noticing the breath, or bringing attention (and other options) to bear when something shifts. There are also many extensive toolboxes of potential somatic interventions that expand the range, and the richness, of what a session together may include.

We are living in difficult times and your experiences and challenges are uniquely yours. Whether you are facing Chronic Pain, Trauma, Chronic Illness including Cancer, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Social Anxiety, and School/Academic Difficulties.

I view the counseling process as a collaborative journey, where client and counselor work together to explore and navigate the path towards healing and personal growth. Embracing this philosophy, I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective, valuing and respecting the individuality of every client he serves. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and enjoyable environment (yes, therapy can be fun!) that empowers clients to maximize their strengths and achieve their life aspirations. My therapeutic style is characterized by an empathetic and solution-focused approach custom-tailored to meet the needs of my clients.
