Relationship Issues Therapists in Denver, CO

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy - from seeking support for a life transition; to exploring and healing trauma; to identifying and optimizing your patterns for greater satisfaction in your day to day life and relationships. We all thrive when we are seen and heard for who we truly are, in a non-judgmental and caring setting. I became a therapist because I am genuinely curious and interested in people, getting to know each person's unique experiences, and supporting them to heal and thrive. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable to be yourself; allowing you to explore, grow and heal.

—I am taking new clients— I love working with clients who are ready to address coping patterns in their life and how this prevents them from living courageously. As a holistic therapist, I will journey alongside you as we uncover the negative patterns and interaction cycles that have been holding you back from living as the most authentic version of yourself or that have been impacting your relationship. We will address how past wounds/trauma have created protective patterns that impact your wellbeing. By taking this first step of seeking change, you are on your journey of creating more lightness and fulfillment in your life.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to have more authentic relationships or strengthen your current relationship? Desiring a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself? Needing to process past trauma or difficult experiences? Struggling with anxiety and depression? I can help. Life is hard and we can often find ourselves just going through the motions and maintaining the status quo. I invite you to reimagine something different.

SERVICIOS EN ESPAÑOL- You are free to be YOU. We will find comfort in the shared human experience and create space for the possibilities of growth far beyond the walls you previously built to protect yourself but which are no longer serving you. I strive to create a space of non-judgement, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to meet you wherever you are at and facilitate your personal journey. Together, we can rewrite the stories you may have been living in pre-defined by shame, trauma, culture, stigma, and external expectations.

I work with clients who want to improve their relationships, whether they are just hitting some bumps in the road or are on the brink of splitting up. I also use my expertise with couples to help individuals struggling to find and maintain healthy relationships, and those who want to work on their relationship but whose partner isn't yet ready. I don't just work with couples occasionally - relationships are my specialty. This includes working with relationships impacted by substance abuse or addiction. For couples considering divorce, I offer Discernment Counseling to help you gain clarity about next steps in your marriage.

Are you feeling a sense of shame about who you are? Are you wanting to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current struggles? Are you having curiosities about your identity or patterns in life? People often experience suffering due to the pressures and stigma placed on them from relationships and society. These experiences can often make us feel a sense of shame that keeps us stuck and disconnected in our lives. I help my clients to heal from past hurts, honor their authentic self, and live wholehearted lives that are in alignment with their values. You deserve to reclaim your voice, power, and worth.
