Sexual Addiction Therapists in Denver, CO

`Do you feel like no one understands you or that you struggle to understand yourself? Does anxiety overwhelm you? Is it getting in the way of sleep, relationships and decisions making? I believe it’s time to stand up to yourself and for yourself. Together, we can determine a new course for you. You don’t have to spend your life escaping a difficult reality anymore. You can learn skills to help you face reality, and enjoy the life you have.

Have you noticed you have been struggling to wake and feel confident about what’s ahead? Perhaps you feel no one else really understands? I want to help you on your path to discovering your values and how to achieve them. Life is not meant to be lived on the sidelines, you have everything inside of you to be the author of your life, and I can help you write the story the way YOU want it to be. I don’t think therapy must be a painful experience, or a last resort. Therapy can be something that can offer solutions for what you thought you, maybe, were the only one dealing with.

Do you wish you felt more confident and had better relationships? Does fear or anxiety hold you back? Most of us feel lonely, isolated, insecure, ashamed and misunderstood at times, which keeps us from enjoying peace of mind and accomplishing our goals. If you are tired of living this way, therapy can help you tackle the things that are keeping you from a satisfying life. I believe in empowering, validating, and offering therapeutic support to my clients so that they can move forward and see change.

As a mental health provider adept in Somatic (body-oriented) Psychotherapy with a doctorate in East-West Psychology, I offer integrative and holistic behavioral health services. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families seeking more fulfilling and satisfying lives.

Ever find your need to be logical getting in the way of being emotionally present? Ever find yourself stuck on the outside, seeing your experience from afar? Ever find yourself lost in the forest, knowing the right path for you is just the other side of the darkness? You do not have to go through any of this alone. Using a person-centered, non-judgmental and humanistic approach, my job is to assist you in ascertaining your priorities, goals, and the best way to help you make those dreams into reality.

When depression, anxiety, and stress begin to feel too heavy to handle alone, I offer a safe place to explore and feel. My aim is to help you uncover and overcome the obstacles that are blocking you from living the life that you want. In our sessions, I will bring a warm, vibrant, grounded energy that is equal parts gentle and challenging. I believe that you possess an inner wisdom that truly knows what is true and right for you.

Whatever brought you to this page, chances are you're feeling stuck, confused, misunderstood, or at odds with someone you love. There is hope. By seeking help, you're already making things better. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Hypnotherapist. I work with individuals, couples and families using a combination of approaches to help heal your relationship with yourself and with the people you're close to.

Hello and welcome! I believe it is my role as a therapist is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. I meet clients where they are and am here to help you meet your goals. My philosophy is that healing lies within our connection to others. Together, we can explore what may be holding you back from being your authentic self and can identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity.

At iAmClinic, our primary goal is to help the LGBTQ+ community and beyond establish internal solidarity, rooted identities, and long-term relational health. Each member of the iAmClinic team has experienced their own growth and healing, which fosters the excitement to offer the same life-changing process to those in our community. We created a safe place where people can share their stories, their pain, and their confusion, and what we’ve discovered most is that we created a place where people watch their lives change – a place where celebration happens and joy blossoms.

My training for my doctorate was in child and family clinical practice and I obtained post-doctoral training in forensic psychology. I also received over 300 hour of training at the Neurosculpting Institute. In addition to my clinical and forensic practice, I have provided consultation services in such settings as Head Start, Federal Corrections, and Child Protection Services and for agencies serving the developmentally disabled. A large part of my practice has always included providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have been married for over 30 years and have seven children.

If you're dealing with a significant change in life, whether having a loved one pass, starting a new job, or just adjusting to a new city, dealing with change is my specialty. Having completed coursework for a PhD in Depth Psychology and currently completing a Doctor of Education, I am skilled at working with various issues that I am happy to discuss with you. What sets me apart from others isn't so much the types of issues I work with, but how we work with one another.

I take a holistic and contextual approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My areas of focus include sexuality, sex, identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life-transitions.

Are you tired of being held back by stubborn habits and difficult emotions? I believe therapy is a laboratory of sorts, where you can begin to try out new ways of being. My hope is that you come away from our work together with an expanded sense of confidence, authenticity, and courage. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, shame, addiction, a major life transition, grief, or a loss of purpose, I believe that the voyage is easier with a trusted companion! I bring humor, trust, and a genuine relationship to the table so that you can cultivate the skills to improve the quality of your life.

How many times have you said, "After the next two weeks, life will calm down"? Did you sacrifice and hustle to build the career, the family, the relationships that you always wanted, to only create a new hurdle to jump over? "I will be happy once, I can..." Listen friend, let's be really honest about what your over achievement/ perfectionism is doing to your life. What if you could actually ENJOY the process instead of withholding your happiness? (Yes, you get to have both happiness and hustle.) Let's create more of those magic moments where time slows down and you finally feel at peace.

Life is a journey and no one escapes the trials and tribulations that come with living a full life. I believe in hope and I believe in everyone's ability to grow and change to become the best versions of themselves. In a collaborative effort, I can assist in your journey to ensure you have the opportunity to experience your own greatest happiness. I specialize in addictions, trauma, couple counseling, & sex therapy. I live in Colorado and am also fully licensed in the state of Washington and can provide teletherapy ONLY to Washington residents.

Struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety? These are treatable conditions! With effective EMDR treatment, we can relieve your pain and foster integrative experiences. As your therapist, I'll challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and focus on healing (EMDR therapists call it "adaptive resolution") beyond intellectual understanding. Together, we'll create a treatment plan with a beginning, middle, and end, ensuring long-lasting transformative changes. My specialty in EMDR has been helpful to many of my clients, including those who believed that they were untreatable.

My approach to therapy is to accompany my clients in reconnecting with their authentic, self-compassionate, wise selves. I work with clients grappling with life transitions, grief, anxiety, isolation, depression, recovery from narcissistic abuse, spiritual crisis, and religious trauma. I specialize in guiding clients exploring spiritual integration (e.g. near death experiences, values alignment, embodiment, transcendent experiences), personal and spiritual inquiry, post-traumatic growth, and sexual and gender identity.

Nurturing relationships are essential to our survival. And, they require work. That's where I come in! Whether you’re in a relationship or single, deep connection is at the foundation of a meaningful life. Let's collaborate to design a life you can truly feel proud of. Whatever your individual or relational issue is (sexual functioning, better communication, sexual compulsivity/sex addiction, discrepancies in desire, etc), they're all related at the end of the day. I specialize in working with men and intimacy-related issues, and I'm excited to work with you to create a stronger, happier, and more vibrant relationship.

Are you struggling in your relationship right now? Have you tried different ways to fix the issues but nothing works? I know exactly what that feels like and how hard it is to go through that alone. I have extensive experience and have helped hundreds of couples get to a better place. You could be struggling with communication issues, lack of intimacy, infidelity, difficulties with life transitions and sexual problems. Most couples struggle with at least one of these issues in their relationship, and through therapy it is possible to change the patterns that keeps you stuck and unsatisfied with your relationship.
