Family Systems Therapists in Edgewater, CO

I identify as a Togolese immigrant, daughter, sister, fur-mom, and wife in an interracial marriage. These identities influence how I show up as a therapist and constantly evolve each day. The challenges I have faced have given me both the insight and desire to work with individuals, couples, and families through their hurdles and to help them find what is and isn’t their story. I believe in the idea of assisting individuals, couples & families of different backgrounds to find their path instead of feeling stuck and tied down to societal expectations or their past maladaptive patterns.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health therapy they can afford. Our team of therapists offer a variety of expertise, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction and substance use, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, faith, sexuality, boundary setting, identity exploration, and more. We offer individual, couples, and family sessions. Our goal is to match you with the therapist who is the best therapeutic, cultural and relational fit to meet your needs. We return all outreaches within one business day and match you with a therapist within one week so you don't have to wait for care. We're here for you.

As a therapist, I enjoy working with clients who are seeking out more meaning, purpose, and connection in their lives. My clients are often working on learning to regulate their emotions and connect to their bodies, understand their families and cultures, and trying to increase their self-compassion and their compassion for the world. I support people in coming back to their more authentic self, and I know the importance of taking it slow and starting where we are.

Has your child has started behaving out of character leading you to wonder what they are going through? Perhaps they are struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger. Play therapy offers an avenue to gain insight into what your child is struggling with and can help them gain confidence and explore their emotions in a safe environment where they can freely express themselves. I strive to build a therapeutic egalitarian relationship where we work together in order to help resolve the issues you and your family could be struggling with.

The start of something new is filled with excitement, fear, hesitation, and a variety of other emotions that can influence whether we try again the next day. Therapy is no different. Whether it's beginning again, beginning anew, or simply beginning somewhere, the idea of therapy may stir up unfamiliar feelings. But when our emotions and relationships are a source of pain rather than support, we are left wondering if and how things can change. Seeing a therapist takes courage and you have taken the first step towards this change. My specialties include relationship counseling, boundaries, self esteem, grief, anxiety, & depression.

Did your family trigger the hell out of you over the holidays? Maybe you noticed things about your family dynamics you never noticed before. Perhaps they even brought out some of the traits you don't like so much about yourself. Maybe some of the trauma you've been through feels super edgy and close to the surface right now. We can help you. Trauma resolution is about moving the stuck gunk of trauma out of your body, mind, and heart. Getting relief from the constant state of anxiety... or a state of being totally checked out. We can help you face the hard stuff to bring peace and safety back to your nervous system.

Our stories and life experiences play a large role in shaping who we are and why we do what we do. I count it as a privilege to journey with people into the most sacred parts of their stories. I believe that when done in a safe context with a trusted therapist beside you, psychotherapy is a practice that can lead to great transformation. With a compassionate posture, I create a safe and non judgemental space for clients to process the parts of themselves that have been impacted by trauma and harmful experiences. Our brave work is built in these safe spaces where understanding self and one’s experiences can lead to healing.

If a major loss has left you overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure of the best path forward, I know how hard it can be to cope and get through day-to-day life. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore and feel through these life challenges, a place to reflect, and a place to slow down. I work with high-achieving and highly sensitive adults and couples who are struggling with the pain of grief, challenging life transitions, relationships, burnout, self-esteem, or confusion about what comes next in life. You’re not alone in feeling challenged by these very human experiences, and you deserve to navigate them with support all along the way.

More than likely you learned along the way that staying guarded or numb or that distracting yourself with substances or an overbooked schedule was easier than actually feeling difficult emotions. But now you’re coming to terms with the reality that avoidance is only making everything feel worse. It’s affecting your relationships, your health, your work, even your sense of self. It’s getting harder to manage every day.

We are all becoming. Becoming more confident, more weighed down by the stressors of life and our relationships, more independent, and more unsure of our identity or place in the world. And the most confusing part: all of those ‘becomings’ are happening at the same time. How are we able to celebrate the joys in our worlds while feeling tied to pressures that are both external to us and internal, hitting close to vulnerable wounds? Welcome to Becoming Therapy Services. By engaging in open and collaborative dialogue, we will use tools to help discover the stories that deserve a voice and parts of you that exist beyond the surface.
