There is a first step in any kind of change and I honor this step you are making! Counseling is about exploring the unknown or the hidden within ourselves. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and calm approach when helping you explore your internal world. I help my clients (or explorers as I like to call them) cultivate a sense of curiosity and find courage when allowing challenging emotions or events to surface. This offers the opportunity to explore the different ways we have been avoiding, denying, and/or not seeing our true nature with clarity.

Many of my clients have been in psychotherapy/counseling before and start working with me to go deeper to transform from the repetitive relational patterns that hold them back. Most of my clients value psychotherapy and see the benefit from telling the emotionally significant story of their lives in a confidential safe setting. Trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety are issues that I have the most experience relating with. Some of life's dilemmas require a conversation to resolve. A conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life.

I support individuals who are trying to find purpose, meaning and hope in a world filled with hurt and pain. Together, we'll explore the old messages and patterns that may be weighing you down, helping you find a deeper understanding of yourself and the people around you. Processing pain can be incredibly difficult. Showing the messy parts of yourself requires remarkable vulnerability. More than anything I hope to create a space where you feel valued, safe and understood.

Play, existential, interpersonal therapy - all grounded in a trauma-informed approach - can help to address painful interpersonal cycles and the impacts of traumatic experiences at their root.
Whether you find yourself in life transition, impacted by personal or communal violence or other traumatic events, or otherwise feel frozen or stuck, therapy may support you in building awareness and skills to move through what you're facing. You may experience doubt in aspects of yourself you're unfamiliar with, fear of known or unknown stress-inducing circumstances, or the physical and emotional impacts of violence or pain you've seen or experienced. In each case, finding space where you can name what is painful to name is often the first step in that movement through it.

Littleton, CO 80123
I provide a collaborative approach that utilizes CBT to address behavior concerns, existential techniques to help (re)discover one's identity and Motivational Interviewing to address any type of addiction.
Do you have a teen with whom you are constantly at odds? Do you feel like every conversation ends up in a fight? Perhaps you see troubling behaviors and patterns emerging (e.g. substance use, pornography, concerning friend choices etc.) and you have no idea how to help. These types of problems demonstrate that nothing can shake a parent's confidence quite like the teenage years. Conversations that once came with ease are now laden with problems and may make you feel you failed as a parent. If you are wondering if there is any hope at all, I'm here to tell you that there is.

I incorporate the existential view that I am journeying alongside my clients in a path to wholeness.
I believe that we all have the power to move from a place of struggle to strength. Life presents us all with challenges and struggles. Yet, in the face of turmoil we tend to withdraw or give in. Strength lies in our ability to look inward, especially in the worst phases of our lives. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, first responders, and victims of trauma. I will support any client in navigating the struggles of the mind; and using my own resiliency beliefs and empathic understanding, we will navigate your strengths together to find your internal ability to overcome.

Drawing from existential, transpersonal, and Gestalt theory, we will use somatic (body-based), mindfulness, and contemplative tools to regulate your nervous system to align with your unique life's purpose.
It’s no mistake that you’ve landed here. You deserve to live a life with more ease, flow, and presence. You may find yourself stuck, yearning for a connection to purpose and meaning. Maybe you’re going through major life transitions, experiencing grief, loss, and despair. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Growth and transformation are not an intellectual-only experience. The way we hold tension, maintain posture, and move are intimately connected to our thoughts and emotional well-being. The key to wholeness lives within your inner landscape.

How does existential therapy work?
Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.
Is existential therapy evidence-based?
Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.
How long does existential therapy last?
The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is existential therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
