Reality Therapy in Lakewood, CO

Whether you are new to therapy, have found yourself stuck in previous therapy or are somewhere in between, welcome! I work to support and nurture those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, trauma, substance use, stress/burnout, life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem, or a lack of sense of self. Many of us have felt a sense of invalidation in our lives and currently struggle with reaching our goals or becoming their true potential selves. Through my 18 years working in the field, I've developed a style that is balanced between being validating and nurturing along with being direct and challenging.

As a counselor in practice for nearly two decades, I balance the needs of my clients by utilizing a supportive and empowering therapy style. I believe the act of seeking help, shows an internal strength we don't always recognize in ourselves.

Trusting a therapist with thoughts and emotions we aren't comfortable facing ourselves can seem embarrassing and perhaps even terrifying. Therapy is a difficult process and I work to face those challenges with my clients head on. My mission is to help empower my clients to create positive life changes. I have been called blunt and no nonsense by my clients. Clients also say I have a calm demeanor that provides a balance to this approach. One client described my therapy style as putting puzzle pieces together to gain a clear picture of their thoughts and emotions.

Whether you are trying to find healthier ways to cope with stress, anxiety and/or depression, set boundaries with your loved ones, or quit misusing drug and alcohol, you are already headed in the right direction.

I now offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Check out my website for more information. Talking about painful childhood memories doesn't nearly resolve those long lasting wounds. I use non traditional and holistic methods. It is not talk therapy! It is a multimodal approach to help people resolve strong emotional reactions such as Anxiety and Depression. The processing of  memories is best done in connection with others. You are not alone. I have been there! This is my number one credential.

Whether you are ready to dive headfirst into therapy or are more interested in dipping a toe and feeling the water, I would love to work with you. I am firmly rooted in the belief that talking to people outside of your immediate circle can offer great insight and perspective on matters big and small.

My style is collaborative, empathetic, strength based and education oriented to help you over come life's hard challenges. My goal is to help you through self discovery, to gain a deeper understanding of personal challenges and to develop a set of skills to overcome those challenges in order to live a life full of meaning and satisfaction.
