Transgender Therapists in Denver, CO

In today’s world, we are digesting almost 7 times more information a day than we were in the 80’s. Our fast paced world leaves us little choice, and our nervous systems are limited in their capacity to adapt. Newer research suggests symptoms of mental illness are the body’s way of forcing us to slow down — whether it’s through paralyzing intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, procrastination, or depressive isolation. Together, we can identify, address, and build a life in support of the needs underlying your symptoms. The goal is not eliminating negative emotions, but improving our ability to feel them so they can pass in due time.

I’ve always been moved by humans’ ability to heal and grow through challenging times. I’m excited to engage with clients that are ready to be vulnerable, and dive into therapy to learn, grow, heal, and change. I look forward to helping clients that have felt paralyzed by fear and anxiety to feel free and more fully experience life. Clients that apply what we talked about between sessions and put in effort to practice recommended exercises/interventions often see significant change quickly.

Do things feel "off" in your life or relationship? Past trauma can rear its head in the present moment and prevent you from experiencing the deep connection that you crave with others. You may feel "stuck" in patterns that are out of alignment with your goals and values. You wish to feel emotionally lighter and calmer, to relate to your partner more peacefully and lovingly, and, overall, to be the best version of yourself. In relational work, I focus on helping partners develop the communication and emotional regulation skills needed for authentic dialogue, so they can achieve compromise and harmony.

I received my Master of Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work. I completed a two year post-graduate training program in psychodynamic psychotherapy and in the treatment of eating disorders and substance abuse at Wardenbrug Health Center at CU-Boulder. I have additional specialized training in the treatment of chronic neurological illnesses-MS in particular-through my work with the Rocky Mountain MS Center. I coordinated the eating disorder program at CU-Boulder and I have undergone additional trainings in DBT, ACT, CBT and psychodynamic therapy.

I am so happy you are here! I am thankful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and guide you in the ways necessary to help you (and your family) become your most successful & authentic self. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love supporting couples and families through life phase challenges such as moving in/out, premarital changes, gaining new family, separation, co-parenting, grief and loss, and trauma. I also have experience and enjoy supporting adults and teens through challenges such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self esteem building, sexual abuse trauma, and anger management.

I have enjoyed a long career working with children, adolescents & adults in a variety of settings (schools, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics). As a therapist at Jewish Family Service, I see a variety of clients who are addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, family/relationship/parenting problems, adolescence, past trauma, etc. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral and supportive therapy, with an emphasis on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, to help my clients discover new & effective ways to manage their emotions, cope with life's stresses, and take committed actions to attain their goals.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where feeling heard and seen is paramount. I specialize in working with college students, the LGBTQ community, those struggling with issues related to gender, identity, relationships, and adjustment. I am completing a certificate in Maternal Mental Health and am passionate about supporting clients who are dealing with infertility, difficulty with pregnancy, loss, and postpartum mood disorders and adjustment.

I understand that achieving emotional stability is a priority for you. Life can throw many challenges your way, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Breaking out of the depression and anxiety cycle is even more frustrating when it feels like the obstacles just keep stacking up. Yet everyone deserves to live their best life and so do you. You want so badly to get your life back and to do things differently so that the next time these old familiar feelings creep up, you have what it takes to ride with wave with clarity and confidence.

Are you neurodivergent? Are you tired of therapists who give you useless advice like "have you tried writing it down in a planner?" Me too! My goal is to give folks with ADHD and autism skills and methods that work for your unique brain, not the same tired advice you've heard before. I combine evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with problem solving skills tailored to your specific needs, so we can identify and deal with the things that are getting in the way of living your best life. Please visit my website for more information about my approach!

When was the last time you felt safe? When you could really relax, and not worry about anything? Sometimes, the impacts of trauma are clear. The constant tension, panic, nightmares... Other signs of trauma can be trickier to recognize. Maybe you feel like you always have to be perfect. Maybe you don't know how to let yourself be vulnerable around others. Trauma can make it hard to speak up for yourself, can convince you that you are unlovable, or drive you to serve others while ultimately neglecting yourself. It can even make you sick or feel pain. Healing from trauma IS possible. It would be my privilege to help you learn how.

No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to live happy and fulfilling lives. Life is hard and can present us with emotional challenges we’re not sure how to process. The first step is asking for help. If you're going through the adoption process, are an adoptee (youth or adult), experiencing relationship issues (monogamous and non-monogamous), are of a marginalized community, or have a special needs child in the family, I'd love to help you process through the complex feelings that accompany your unique intersection of identities.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Denver and Boulder. Additionally, I received Marriage and Family Therapy training at Denver Family Institute where I worked extensively with couples, individuals, and families on damaging relationship patterns, strengthening emotional connections, and communication skills. I have extensive work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, polyamory, consensual non monogamy, out of control sexual behavior, kink, and many other sex related issues. I also love to use spirituality & mindfulness such as meditative & grounding techniques.

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.

Welcome! My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I work to support clients in developing an increasingly complex and embodied understanding of themselves in the context of the relationships and systems that they interact with. Through our work together, clients can expect to uncover habitual patterns of behavior that interfere with living the life they want, and over time to experience an increased sense of choice and flexibility in their actions. I aim to support individuals in developing a greater sense of comfort with themselves, and an increased ability to cope with the inevitable challenges that life offers.
