Relational Therapists in 80220
I practice with an integrated approach grounded in psychodynamic, relational, ACT, and cognitive-behavioral principles to meet your goals and needs.
I view therapy as a collaborative, interactive process that can create change and promote repair. I enjoy helping individuals understand patterns, broaden their sense of self, build emotional flexibility, and develop meaningful relationships. I also strive to playfully challenge unproductive beliefs and explore the function of behaviors. I work to foster curiosity and empower individuals to develop authenticity, autonomy, and self-compassion. I received my master's degree in 2009 and PsyD in 2012 from the University of Denver.

I have had the pleasure of working with adults, young-adults, adolescents, first responders, active military duty, veterans, individuals who have experienced sexual assault, anxiety, depression, relational conflicts, and substance use struggles.
I believe the therapeutic process can be enlightening, challenging, at times uncomfortable, but ultimately transformative and healing. My hope for the relationship we co-create in this process as therapist and client is that you feel affirmed, cared for, safe, and valued. Through a holistic perspective that integrates the mind and body, I aim to empower my clients to identify with and realign with their values in order to achieve their goals and express their most authentic selves. I am passionate about helping individuals move past trauma so it no longer defines their present day experiences.

I use a relational approach; meaning our relationship is of upmost importance.
Whether you are feeling unworthy, experiencing debilitating thoughts, struggling to set boundaries, or stuck in patterns that do not serve you anymore, let's navigate these experiences together. I support individuals in increasing self-awareness and compassion, enhancing the mind-body connection, and harnessing their voice. While individuals' wholeness journeys differ, I believe in the unique healing powers of storytelling, creativity, and play, especially for adults.

I apply emerging trauma science and ancestral healing roots via neurogenesis-inspired relational care: acudetox, embodied anatomy, ritual practice, sound healing, sensory integration, deep relaxation, etc.
I’m an integrative somatic liberation therapist dedicated to healing in historic, inflammatory times. As a neuroqueer brain injury survivor born of Vietnamese refugees, diaspora experiences forged my global contexts with nuanced capacities to engage with collective intergenerational and complex trauma. When persistent harmful elements continue to seep into our person, it can feel like death by a thousand cuts. Oppressive and toxic conditions can induce palpable anxiety, fear, confusion, pain, depression, terror and devastating crises. We need therapy to expand beyond mere coping with violation, abuse and moral/spiritual injury.

We will work side-by-side to understand your relational patterns and develop healthy ways of coping and communicating.
Human beings are wired for connection. That means that we spend the entirety of our lives seeking and maintaining relationships — both with ourselves and with others. When these relationships go awry, we can often find ourselves feeling alone and helpless. The pains from the past and the uncertainties of life can leave us feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Sound familiar?

You are looking to know yourself and be known on a very deep level. You identify patterns of feelings and behaviors that seem to be rooted in a space deep within yourself but quite out of reach: your unconscious. You surround yourself with people who somehow remind you of the past, and though you are hoping for a different outcome, you are hurt in the same way. You think that if you’d just meet the right person, all that’s buried deep within you would at last find its final resting place. You’d finally be invited to blossom into the person you were always meant to be. Does this sound like you?

Everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and the chance to lead a full, healthy, fulfilling life. No one is meant to do this work alone. I believe everyone is worthy of support to work through, heal, grow, and accept challenges life has given us. We all have power and wisdom inside us. Together we will look at what has hindered you, patterns, barriers and work to untangle what we discover. To me, this looks a little different for everyone.

My love of therapy is rooted in the opportunity to witness and facilitate change. Perhaps you already know what in your life you'd like to change. Perhaps you are simply aware that you're not where you would like to be. Or perhaps you've had an experience you'd like to understand and get some clarity around. Therapy is a powerful and important pathway to achieving change, improving insight, and living a happier, more fulfilling, meaningful life.

Relational Therapists
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
