Therapists in Denver, CO

Congratulations on taking the first steps in bettering your mental health! As a veteran, I bring a diverse perspective to my work. I understand the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and resilience—qualities that inform my approach to counseling. I'm committed to helping you achieve your mental health and well-being goals. I bring a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy as each client's journey is unique. I am honored to accompany individuals as they navigate their path toward positive change and greater well-being. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds including families and couples.

Who are you meant to become in this world? Where do you fit in? Does all of you, including your racial or cultural identity, belong? There isn’t a linear answer, but how exciting that you get to discover all the twists and turns of your path that will lead you to where you are meant to be; where you belong. As you embark on this journey of self-discovery, self-healing, and self-growth, you may stumble upon challenges. Reaching out for help is a profound act of courage. You deserve a safe space where you can express all that you feel and all that you are.

Everyone’s on a different journey and life is full of challenges that can take you off course. Whatever your journey, I'm here with a commitment to help make sense of life’s dynamics and work with you to bring about peace, healing, a strategy to approach your goals, and breakthroughs. In addition to mental health counseling, I offer Enneagram and Naturopathic health coaching to add a customized therapeutic experience focused on the growth of the whole person.

Have you had a recent transition or life events lately that feels like it has thrown you or your relationship off? In my work I strive to think about the best ways to support big transitions (whether that is a break up, divorce, trauma or having a baby) that can make you feel a loss of control. I can help you ground back into yourself, find your most authentic self and support you in building a skill set for future life challenges. Also, if you have just had a baby and are experiencing the transition to motherhood as different than what was expected or then is portrayed as on social media, I can help support you.

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.

Create your own life worth living! Whether you’re an adult seeking to better understand how to get “unstuck” and find fulfillment, a teen struggling with your mood and the stress of school, or a parent looking for help with your child’s emotions and behavior, I am here for you. I find meaning in providing a warm, validating, and gently challenging space to foster your inner growth. I value the importance of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship that feels safe and non-judgmental.

We’ve all been there, struggling with a problem, not sure where to turn. This past year has been specifically challenging for so many and has increased the feelings of fear and isolation in our society more than ever! Perhaps for you, this means you now find yourself struggling to find joy and peace in your life. Maybe you are feeling disconnected from a partner or are concerned for the well-being of a child/adolescent. If any or all of these scenarios sound like what you’re going through, we at Firefly Therapy Group (FTG) are here for you. It is brave to reach out, and we would be honored to join you on your path towards healing!

I believe that we all have important stories to tell. Sharing those impactful stories while working through the emotions and self beliefs tied to them can bring clarity, ease, and a sense of understanding. In my practice, I vow to hold a space of warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance for my clients to allow their stories and vulnerabilities to be heard and nurtured. I enjoy working with individuals who want to build awareness of patterns that they feel stuck in; and together, we will explore avenues of change.

Accepting new clients! You want to feel better right now but you don’t know where to start. You experience overwhelm and the voice inside your head is harder on you than anyone else- especially when you are feeling anxious, “not good enough,” or other emotions. Managing these symptoms with your friends, family, and other relationships is challenging. You are finally ready to discuss what’s been bothering you, whether that be trauma or other events that may have contributed to your personal feelings and experiences. I am here to support you through this journey.

I believe that curiosity heals, that healing comes from approaching our lives with greater openness & non-judgement. I work with individuals and couples/intimate relationships impacted by trauma, relationship issues, chronic illness, grief, & identity exploration. Using a caring and direct approach, I support clients to gain deeper understanding, increase emotional regulation, & use more effective conflict management strategies. I believe that our world often makes it seem like we need to be fixed when really we need trust, connection, and tools to cultivate desired change within ourselves and our relationships.

I believe that creating a safe space where clients are accepted for being their authentic selves creates healing and self-understanding leading clients to living their most fulfilling lives possible. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most healing and helpful aspect of therapy. I strive to help individuals navigate challenges while allowing for self-compassion, exploration, and self-love. I encourage clients to see their strengths in order to achieve their goals. I aim for empathy, respect, play, humor, and learning to be a part of therapy for all ages.

I know finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. I hope to make that easier. I pride myself on my ability to work with persons in a supportive and encouraging setting.
