You might find that you struggle with challenges externally - things outside of your control. Or maybe your challenges are deeper and you need the support to process your present. I'd like to be your guide in navigating these challenges so that we can minimize the impact they have on you living your day to day life.

I have a passion for working with adults in big or small life transitions and emerging adults staring their adult lives! I have a trauma focused practice. I work with those who seek treatment for life experiences such as: anxiety, depression, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, social isolation, teen friendships/bullying/dating, teen parenting, teen pregnancy counseling and support, low energy, stress, panic attacks, a traumatic event or other stressors, self sufficiency development, divorce, low self esteem, ADD/ADHD, mood dysregulation, oppositional or angry behaviors, and relational and attachment issues. EMDR Certified and CIT

My approach is rooted in the belief that no matter what a person has going on, there is always an internal compass guiding them towards integration. In our sessions, we will incorporate Jungian/depth psychology, IFS/parts work, relational psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, & mindfulness (MBCT). We can also incorporate creativity therapy, dreamwork, and body-focused techniques.

Taking the first step into therapy can seem like a herculean effort. We all have the capacity for change, but life can distract us from knowing our true selves. I will create a space where you can feel seen and heard, where there are no wrong questions. Together, we will navigate the obstacles through a foundation of trust, transparency and maybe even some humor. I am comfortable with the uncomfortable and am deeply committed to creating a space where clients can show up as their most authentic selves. I believe that therapy is a collaboration between two humans, and that goodness-of-fit is crucial to a healthy relationship.

I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about supporting clients as they uncover and connect with their most authentic, grounded selves. I specialize in working with queer, trans, and non-binary folks, with a focus on sexuality/asexuality, gender, neurodivergence, consensual non-monogamy, and trauma. My clients are often exploring emergent identities, unpacking relational patterns, learning to unmask, and seeking a greater sense of belonging. Our work together will likely be less focused on coping skills or quick solutions, but instead involve deep reflection, processing, and relationship building.

I work with adult clients who are looking for a relational, insight-oriented, and collaborative environment to find resolution to areas of "stuck"ness, trauma, loss, & other wounds that come with being human in this world. I work together with my clients to create a deeper understanding of how our life experiences interact with our nervous system's capacity to help us survive. I utilize relational, neurobiological, & attachment-based approaches to help you move towards resolution, healing, & compassion for yourself. As a clinician, professor, supervisor, author, and presenter, I bring a depth of experience to our work together.

I take a non-judgmental, empathic, compassionate, and insight-oriented approach to therapy. Current research, as well as my experience and training help me to determine the treatment strategies from psychodynamic, relational, humanistic, existential, cognitive and behavioral approaches that will be most effective in addressing your concerns. I work to create a supportive environment that facilitates reflectiveness, creativity and that helps you increase insight into your present struggles. I believe that your view of yourself and the issues that have lead to their seeking therapy are influenced by your unique life experiences.

My process is attuned, artistic, playful, philosophical, and kind while being intentional, strategic, and insightful. We will strengthen your ability to stay conscious and deliberate while we observe your fears and habits, develop your relational skills, build on your emotional intelligence and resilience, increase your ability to feel regulated and present, and identify your core self so that you can feel congruent with a sense of purpose and a set of values. One of my niche specialties is working with high-functioning motivated clients who benefit from a more intellectual/philosophical intervention style.

Nurturing relationships are essential to our survival. And, they require work. That's where I come in! Whether you’re in a relationship or single, deep connection is at the foundation of a meaningful life. Let's collaborate to design a life you can truly feel proud of. Whatever your individual or relational issue is (sexual functioning, better communication, sexual compulsivity/sex addiction, discrepancies in desire, etc), they're all related at the end of the day. I specialize in working with men and intimacy-related issues, and I'm excited to work with you to create a stronger, happier, and more vibrant relationship.

I enjoy helping clients explore and better understand how experiences growing up have affected them throughout their lives, including right now! I also enjoy working with clients who are seeking support navigating current relationships. Many of my clients have experienced past trauma, including complex, chronic and relational trauma. No matter your past, we’ll work to identify your goals and exactly what kind of life you’re hoping to have. We'll also process and challenge beliefs or experiences that may be holding you back.

I am a sex, trauma, and relationship therapist with a deep passion for my work and desire to help you achieve your goals. I work with teens, adults, and couples. I am especially passionate about working with clients to explore emerging identities (LGBTQ+ identities, non-monogamy, coming out), unpack negative body image and societal messaging about bodies (body liberation), improve communication and relational skills, and recover from sexual, relationship, religious, and medical trauma.

All of us have acquired habits of mind, body, and thought as a means of seeking safety and connection throughout times of stress, chaos, or trauma in our lives. My intention is to help you shift any unwanted habits or patterns as we mutually explore alternative ways for you to manage your mind, regulate your nervous system, and attend to your body with self-love and acceptance. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ oneself; rather, it is a journey from insight to integration, a reclamation of everything you have lost along the way, a practice of gentleness, and a return to wholeness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Let me support you on the journey to finding relief. As a seasoned therapist, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Together, we'll uncover the root causes of your struggles and develop personalized strategies to help you overcome them. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking space to start, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with past trauma, relational issues, identity, substance use and process addictions. It takes a lot of courage to face some undesirable truths about oneself and inviting a therapist on this journey can be overwhelming. I hold a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients and practice from a place of compassion and acceptance. My hope is for you to gain insight and thrive throughout your life rather than just survive.

I am a relationship therapist. Whether you are working on your relationship with yourself, your romantic partner or your friends and family, we will work to identify and gain insight into your patterns and work for you to connect authentically and deeply with those you love. My specialties include: new relationships and preventative couples therapy, secular pre-marital counseling, relationship decision-making, relational perfectionism and undoing longterm patterns.

Connect with yourself + Connect with others! In my practice, Connect Counseling, I’m here to work together with you and for you. I’m here to help you connect with your best self, get your life back on the course you want it to be headed, and help you rediscover what brings you the most joy and happiness in your life. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed, it’s important for you to know that there is hope. Together, we will work to evaluate what is no longer serving you and come up with a plan to connect you with your goals and path to your best self and relationships.

*CapHill/Cherry Creek* I view trust and authenticity as essential conditions for positive, lasting change to occur through the therapeutic process. My down to earth, relational, and evidence-based approach to treatment enables me to create a nonjudgmental, productive space for clients of all ages to explore their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences. Every therapeutic relationship is different. Therefore, I utilize a strengths-based, collaborative approach to provide clients with an individualized therapeutic experience that effectively captures their experiences and their goals.

Many of my clients come to me having worked on thier “same old patterns” in the past & while they've found some measure of relief, they still find themselves caught in cycles they can’t break & are experiencing distressing symptoms they can't seem to shake. Those patterns often involve include unresolved issues with food & the body, up's & down's with mood &, challenges in relationships. Because difficulty w/ food, body & mood look different for each client, depending on the day or season of life they are in, I provide individualized, tailored expertise in a space that’s affirming, genuine, & wholly focused on my clients' healing.

Welcome :) If you have made it here, you are already in the right place. Whether you are in therapy for the first time or looking for a "deeper" experience, this is the space for you. Much of our pain comes through aloneness, misunderstanding, or the neglect of our needs. Our therapeutic relationship will be a safe, empathic place for togetherness and attunement to your values. I am passionate about working with adults, adolescents, and couples to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, grief, life adjustments, body image, and other concerns. I affirm all gender, sexual, and cultural identities.
