In Person Therapists in Southeastern Denver, Denver, CO

I commonly help people with depression, anxiety, grief/loss and health related concerns (chronic illness, cancer, adjustment to diagnosis). High functioning clients focus on stress management, work/life balance, life transitions (adjustment to college, graduation, career changes or retirement) and relationship concerns. I help women to thrive through pregnancy and adjustment to new baby. Women seek my support when planning for pregnancy, facing fertility issues, or making decisions regarding genetic anomalies. I also specialize in miscarriage, infant loss & grief, perinatal mood disorders, and adjustment to new baby.

My practice draws upon the concept of the lotus flower, which blooms out of muddy water. Although life brings unexpected difficulties and challenging experiences, I believe any individual can grow and develop practical skills to manage their mental health. Everyone is capable of change and growth, no matter their past or current circumstances. My desire is to help each client heal, grow, and learn skills to manage their wellbeing.

I am an apprentice therapist utilizing various methods to lead clients to healing. I specialize in working with children in search of their center. I adore supporting highly sensitive and gifted children (as well as their parents) in individual, emotional and behavioral growth. I especially love working with teenagers and women discovering their most authentic self and dealing with issues such as anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, stress management, and transitions. I hope our paths cross to help further you in your journey to healing. You are seen. You are heard. You have value.

Life is so full of challenges, the world can feel isolating or scary, and relationships can be as complicated as they are comforting. Because these things are true, many people can feel overwhelmed leading them to wait to find help as long as they can; I get that and honestly, inviting someone into your process can feel just plain hard. The fact that you are seeking support means you have bravery and you are one step closer to feeling the change you're looking for. I am here to meet my clients where they are and together we identify those next steps and engage in some challenging and vital conversations.

I am a licensed, board certified occupational therapist. I specialize in the treatment of mental health conditions impairing function/daily routines (and ability to perform at work and/or school). Conditions treated include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, tic disorders/Tourette/OCD/Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling), executive functioning, obesity, lifestyle/wellness habits to reverse heart disease/diabetes, joint and physical challenges among children, teens, and adults. I am certified in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (and Tourette Syndrome).

Seeking therapy can be a vulnerable experience, from listening to your instincts in finding the right match for you, to trusting in your own innate capacity for growth, healing, and change. My approach to therapy stems from a humanistic and systemic lens in which I believe the uniqueness of each individual informs their approach to and capacity for growth, choice, and overall well-being. Operating within a systemic lens allows me to not only look wholly at an individual but experience alongside that individual the world around them.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 28 years of experience. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, eating disorders, self-injury, relationship issues and identity development. I primarily work with adolescents and adults providing individual, family and couples psychotherapy. All of my training and clinical work is grounded in evidenced-based research. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR Level-II, Exposure Therapy, and the Safe Alternatives approach.

I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their vulnerability in expressing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work towards healing and personal growth. I provide individual therapy primarily for adults. I specialize in minority issues (being treated like others), intergenerational trauma, cross-cultural and inter-racial relationships. I incorporate humor to uplift your spirit and create a positive atmosphere.

Brené Brown says, "Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it's also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love." As someone who has personally experienced how scary vulnerability can be, I strive to foster an environment in which you feel safe to explore your sense of self, enhance your ability to find deeper connection with others, create room to heal from past hurts, and process those hard-to-ask questions. I will support you with warmth and unconditional empathy as you reach for the positive outcomes that vulnerability can offer.

Hi there! You are strong and courageous for reaching out for help! As you embark on your healing journey, my wish is for you to feel embraced by a sense of belonging and hope for the future. I hope to provide a safe and welcoming environment that empowers you to share your story, heal your trauma, and reignite your vigor for life. I use an integrative approach that considers the unique needs and qualities of each client. I love working with clients across the lifespan.

Areas of expertise include: Anxiety, Attachment Issues, Depression, EMDR, Grief and Loss, Marriage/Couples Counseling, Relationship Issues, Family of Origin Issues and Self Esteem. I am looking forward to utilizing my skills and experience to partner with you to provide meaningful, lasting change.

My counseling approach utilizes systems theory to identify problems within the context of the system where they began.. Instead of seeing problems residing within the individual, I look at how the entire system contributes to the problem formation. The system generates the problem and the two are maintained by each other, and behavior is understood in the context of its' environment. Together in a caring and respectful environment, we will discover together your goal for the best version of your future going forward. Life coaching is an integral aspect of my treatment protocol.

Taking the step towards change is a courageous endeavor. After 25 years working as a psychologist, I know people can make positive changes. Finding a therapist that feels supportive, non-judgmental and engaging is one of the first steps. I create a supportive and comfortable space to process the challenges you are facing. I will provide different ways to create change using evidence-based strategies such as EMDR and modifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs. Working with a trained therapy dog, called animal assisted therapy, is an option for any client who is interested.

“I am stuck in negative thoughts.” “I have difficulty making sense of or finding my purpose in life.” “My thoughts and emotions control my life.” “I do not feel good enough.” I am happy to support you through struggles with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, work/life balance, and other important areas. I believe that everyone has the potential to live as their authentic selves.

I work with individuals, families, and intimate partner relationships. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My approach centers around helping clients retell their stories. I find value in understanding how people became who they are today while also creating space for the changes they aspire to make. In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook the mind-body connection. That’s why I incorporate meditative and body-based practices during sessions. Slowing down and exploring emotions and behaviors in this way allows for deeper self-awareness and healing.

My therapeutic style is welcoming, grounding, and curious. I aim for therapy to be a collaborative space for authentic exploration, which I approach from a open and curious stance. I believe my clients are the experts of their own experiences, and it is my honor and duty to use my knowledge to assist my clients in unfolding, understanding, integrating, and blossoming into their authentic, functional self. To assist my clients in this process, I often utilize personalized metaphor, analogy, reflection, and humor to both support and challenge each client. Often, my therapy style is described as relieving, exciting, and insightful.

Living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain can be an invisible, isolating, and scary experience. On top of that, the way that our society is structured has all but left these areas out of the realm of psychotherapy and leaves these experiences to the field of medicine alone. If you live with chronic illness or chronic pain, you know firsthand how lacking this model is. In my therapy practice I strive to create space for all aspects of your human experience, while working with you towards the ability to feel safe in your body, access hope and a healthy sense of self, and to transform your suffering into meaning.
