Christian Therapists in Centennial, CO

When working with clients, it is important for me to center the wisdom each individual, couple, and/or family bring to therapy. Starting from this place allows me to center and validate the experiences of my clients from an inclusive perspective. My goal is to balance trusting the client to make the best decisions for themselves and creating space for collaboration throughout the therapeutic process. My training as a social worker, marriage and family therapist, and educator provide me with the tools needed to guide clients through the therapy process. In my work, It is important to meet you where you are and let the tools follow!

I specialize in working with couples, adults, and college students. I also specialize in psychoeducational testing, including ADHD and Learning Disability evaluations. Getting an accurate diagnosis is often a very important step in treating or improving functioning for individuals who experience these difficulties.

Is life currently a struggle? Do you feel anxious, sad or lonely? Do things that use to bring you joy no longer provide you happiness? Is your mental health negatively affecting your relationships, job or family life? Today we face more stressors in our lives than we ever have before. COVID 19, changes in the economy, daily uncertainty has made our lives more challenging than ever. If you feel like old coping skills are no longer working and that support from friends and family isn't enough then it's time to get outside support. Finding someone who will support you during hard times in a non-judgmental, safe space can be helpful.

I understand that life brings unexpected transitions. During these transitions people sometimes need someone to help facilitate change, someone to listen without judgment, or voice their thoughts in order to gain a fresh perspective. My experience working in several inpatient hospitals has provided experience that helped me develop and hone effective counseling techniques and become familiar with counseling people of all walks of life. Experience includes: working with active military personnel, couples, struggles with chronic addiction, suicidal thoughts, and psychosis. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults.

I offer Couples Counseling and Individual Counseling. Sometimes you can get stuck in unproductive patterns due to unresolved trauma, or learned behavior from the past. This can be harmful to your relationships, family, and ultimately yourself. You can move out of this space by taking back control of your thoughts and behaviors. Individual therapy allows for a consistent place to work through trauma, anxiety, depression and other issues that impact your fulfillment. Talk therapy is effective but not for everyone. We can also look into EMDR therapy if you need to try something new.

Hearing and holding your pain is a sacred privilege that I do not take lightly. My aim is to create a safe place of compassion where you feel free to explore any issues you might be facing. There will always be storms in life. Therapy won’t change that. But therapy can help you successfully navigate life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relational struggles or life transitions, I’d love to help you navigate the twists and turns. I'm a board certified LPC counselor (NCC), trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, and certified in Level 2 Gottman Therapy.

Do you ever feel anxious, down, unmotivated or question what your purpose is? Come work with me to help you find growth, healing and hope in any area of your life that you desire to change.

Trauma can impact us in many different ways. It can affect our ability to trust others or ourselves, can make us feel "broken" or defective. Have you experienced the loss of a loved one, the ending of a friendship or relationship, rejection, abandonment, or something that feels like it left a mark? You are not alone, and an empathetic ear can help heal the wounds of trauma and invalidation.

I have a passion for helping people embody and cherish their truest selves and develop long-lasting, healthy relationships. In therapy, my goal is to partner with clients to help them achieve their personal goals and move towards their most fulfilling life. The most important thing to me as a therapist is that my clients feel safe to be fully themselves. I strive to provide an empowering, non-judgmental setting for children, teens, and adults alike. I hope to help my clients identify ways in which their beliefs, thoughts, or behaviors have been keeping them stuck from the life they want to be living.
