Psychosis Therapists in Centennial, CO

I specialize in treating children ages 2 years and up with PTSD/complex trauma, behavioral concerns and developmental disabilities. I also specialize in working with first respond and combat veterans. When working with children, I use client-centered play therapy as this allows the child to communicate through play. For my adult clients who want to heal from trauma, I provide a space to unload the trauma because trauma is a heavy burden. Together we unravel the trauma and work through it to come out the other side to achieve a healthy present and future.

Are you exhausted from trying everything you know to do to help your teen and it just isn’t working? You’ve likely heard your son ask, “What’s the point?” more times than you can count and he has increasingly struggled to complete his day to day tasks. You’ve seen all the potential he has if only he would apply himself, but recently his grades have been slipping, his behavior has become more reckless or apathetic, and he has lost the interest he once had in life. Are you ready for him to grow up and do his chores without being nagged repeatedly?

Feeling/thinking that your coping skills no longer serve you, alone, out of control, helpless, hopeless, having trouble in your relationship, etc? I’d love to provide support to you, your family, you & your partner, or your child along the way while you work in concert to find the root of the “problem” that is manifesting itself in the symptoms that you're experiencing. I'm, to the utmost, passionate about helping people. I foster a safe environment that's entirely non-judgmental where you can feel free to express yourself. I truly believe that a healthy counseling relationship is instrumental in promoting growth and happiness.

I have extensive experience in conducting autism spectrum disorder, psychological, neurodevelopmental, neuropsychological, and learning disorder evaluations for children as young as 1 year old to older adults. Many people are struggling with one of the above, but I have devoted my time to ensure that you are not alone in this process. These evaluations and treatments help guide our clients on the path of success.

In treating children, adolescents, families and adults for thirty years, my approach has evolved to become increasingly more relaxed, humorous, active, and-at its core-respectful. It is not based on giving advice or otherwise suggesting that I know what is best for you. On the contrary, my therapy (and personal) “voice” has grown to become increasingly grounded in humility and profound empathy, sitting comfortably not being certain, keeping my mind open, listening intensely, putting aside my personal opinions and reference points-all in order for me to genuinely see you and support growth and even transformation.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, feeling connected with yourself and others, and more? Does it affect your day-to-day life, your relationships, your work, and how you feel overall? Or you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, and disconnected by the day to day life and demands. You may be asking yourself, "Is life supposed to feel this way?" The answer is no. Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues.

Are you experiencing relationship/family problems? Are you tired of experiencing the same pain over and over? Using an integrated solution focused approach, individuals and families will gain resources for healing and growth. Working together we can uncover your true purpose while addressing current stressors, past trauma, and future goals. While we can't change difficult past situations, we can better understand and resolve challenges negatively affecting our current situation.

I believe that the most important factor of success in therapy is the authentic relationship. I have a passion for learning about each client's talents and strengths and using those to increase their life satisfaction. I believe that all people have a desire to live the best lives they can live, and at times need support in identifying and eliminating the barriers that prevent them from doing so. I believe that trauma, whether from watching the daily news or experiencing combat in war, is at the root of many of these barriers.

I have over 20 years of experience working with kids from ages 2.5 years old to 19 years old as well as their parents. I take a relaxed fun and direct approach utilizing games and therapy homework to help clients break out of their counter-productive habits. I focus on empowering the client to identify the changes they would like to make and using tools that work for their personality. Tools include, but are not limited to non-violent communication, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-reflection, and play therapy techniques.

I have great passion for what I do and truly love my job. Most clients tell me that they find me compassionate, open, and accepting. I am directive in my approach and try to let my clients know what I'm thinking. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to discover what it is that you want to change in your life and figure out what approach will work best for you.

I feel called to strengthen families and help others find freedom, healing, and wholeness while promoting resilience. Walking with people and witnessing their growth is a true honor. Understanding the complexities of human nature begins with the assumption that people are multifaceted, which is why I strive to understand individuals through a biological-psychological-social-spiritual lens. My deep interest in people, problems, and processes has allowed me to develop the ability to see the complex patterns and interrelatedness of understanding individuals within their respective contexts.

I have over 40 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, a wide range of issues and ages ranging from adolescence to the elderly.

In particular, I work with aduts, couples, families, and adolescents experiencing problems including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, job/work/career concerns, and school performance issues. I also utilize many strategies /tools from the John Gottman method.

It is my belief that In order to feel happy and fulfilled, every person should excel in the following areas: be in good health, feel loved/accepted in personal relationships (partners, children, family), be successful in what he/she does (education, job, hobbies), and feel needed socially (belong to a group, be part of the community).
