Feminist Therapists in Denver, CO

Hello! I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, transitional difficulties, identity formation and more. As a multicultural woman, I care deeply about promoting diversity and bringing awareness into how oppressive systems can affect our mental health. I align myself to support communities continuing to fight for equity across systems. I help clients find fulfillment in confidence, decision-making, and relationships. I also hope to help you connect to a broader sense of self-awareness, purpose, meaning, and understanding.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be, I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.

I aim to curate a safe space for my clients to be authentically themselves and fully human. As a therapist, I believe in the power of each individual to find the answers within themselves. In this way, therapy can be a mirror. I am passionate about working with individuals who are navigating disordered eating, body image, embodiment, gender identity, sexuality, shame, self-worth, spirituality and meaning, trauma, and grief. I enjoy using strength-based, somatic, and emotion-focused approaches.

Welcome! Stepping into therapy takes courage, it's a sign you're ready for positive change. All humans have blind spots, having empathetic guidance directs your discovery and healing. I offer an open atmosphere to find clarity, support and growth. I will honor your journey with non-judgment, and extreme respect. Your challenges and strengths can facilitate your new path. The process is collaborative and I will uphold the goal for it to be productive.

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable. My clients often laugh as much as they cry or express anger, and I think that's important in the business of connecting and healing. What do you want to heal? Is there something about a relationship with a loved one that feels frustrating, uncomfortable, or unsafe? Do you need a non-judgmental space to help you figure out what you want or who you are?

I offer individualized therapy and assessment using evidence-based approaches to help you nurture your whole, true self. My professional training includes three advanced degrees in Psychology, including a research-based Ph.D. from an APA accredited program. I have dedicated my life and passions towards helping others. Engage with me and we will work together to find your peace.

Living in a world where we are held to high social standards with little room for mistakes, it can be challenging to seek out therapy and find a therapist that fits you and your needs. I am passionate about creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. After watching loved one after loved one lose their battle to mental health, I found a passion for therapy and the power it can hold in your life. I am here to help you on your journey to find yourself through introspection and discovery.

Weary from hard experiences and tense relationships? Feeling like you are stuck and have no direction? Therapy can be a courageous space to loosen the grip of life's sufferings and hang-ups. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that invites you to share your untold stories of hardship. By sitting and processing together, we can collaborate on ways for you to reach your goals and bring life to the heavy areas of your heart. I seek to honor your courage, process, and trust by integrating therapeutic approaches that meet your specific needs.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands queer identities and experiences of mental health? Are you hoping to heal the different parts of yourself and live a more fulfilling life? I'm here to help LGBTQ+ folks like you find self-acceptance, queer joy, and a fully integrated, connected self.

I am inspired by the healing power of relationships. I specialize in helping women feel more alive and empowered, as well as helping couples reconnect and thrive. Therapy works when you and I build trusting relationship that is a catalyst for change in other relationships. My clients describe me as calm and empathetic, with a sense of humor. When you meet with me, you and I will create a safe environment where you can explore your full self and heal without judgement. With individuals I use EMDR, parts work, and other modalities to help you rebuild. With couples I use EFT, Gottman, and PACT therapies to help you reconnect.

Transitions are hard, whether they are expected or not. From child to adolescent/teen, high school to college, and from college to “adulthood.” Many transitions brings about changes in mood and feelings, as well as changes in the family dynamic. Whether you are a parent struggling to communicate better with your child/teen, an older child/teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, or an emerging adult who is confused and overwhelmed by life, my hope is to provide a space to gain clarity, peace, and a sense of relief.

Feeling unsettled and like you are constantly doubting yourself? Are you going through a big life change like the birth of a child or new partnership and finding yourself feeling off balance? You are not alone! I specialize in helping women, sensitive souls, and "helpers" to heal from self-doubt, get in touch with their bodies, and connect to emotions without feeling out of control. My goal is for you to feel confident in yourself, your relationships, your parenting style, and your ability to find calm within the storm.

Engagement in psychotherapy is a journey in personal growth. It is about deepening the understanding and the relationship with the Self in order to nurture and to live a meaningful and authentic life. My role as a therapist is to support this process by being fully present to you as we work together to explore your strengths and your challenges. Together we build a safe space for you to learn skills and gain insights to best be present to and compassionate with yourself and unlock your own potentials for healing and thriving.

All humans have emotional health needs and we are often not taught the tools to help support ourselves in meeting our needs. These needs, if not supported, end up effecting relationships, health, or employment and end up looking like depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, and more.
