Relationship Issues Therapists in Lakewood, CO

Envision a life where the obstacles you face, such as depression, anxiety, fear, and loneliness, no longer hinder your progress. The unease and apprehension of feeling worried, guilty, adrift, or uncertain can be overwhelming. When these concerns cloud your mind and hinder your sense of purpose, they profoundly impact your mood, relationships, and overall quality of life. In a life unburdened by these challenges, you can cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships, derive greater satisfaction from your professional and personal endeavors, and better manage worries and fears.

Welcome! Finding a therapist can be a vulnerable and challenging task, I’m glad you're here. I work with folks hoping to create new patterns, behaviors, and grow deeper connections with themselves. Are you someone who overthinks, analyzes, or is constantly stuck in your head? Have you been told in the past that you are “too sensitive” or things are “not that big of a deal”? Perhaps you have felt misunderstood or invalidated by those around you, causing you to isolate or retreat to your thoughts. If you're struggling with a harsh inner critic and seeking to move towards more self compassion, we may be a good fit.

During times of significant transition or stress, such as a big move, divorce, loss of a loved one, a career change, or relational challenges, therapy can be very useful. Sometimes, individuals seek out therapy as a way to develop strategies for personal growth, life skills, and or improved interpersonal communication. Other times, my clients choose to work on a long-standing mental health struggle such as depression, anxiety, addiction, or grief and loss. Therapy is right for anyone who has a desire to learn more about themselves and make positive changes in their wellness, relationships, or daily life.

If you're seeking support during challenging times or are ready to make transformative changes in your life, therapy can be a powerful ally. I am a heart-centered clinician who believes in the profound potential of therapy as a vehicle to freedom and a more fulfilling life. Clients often come to me with concerns related to (C)PTSD, depression, anxiety, shame, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, religious trauma, spirituality, identity development, women’s issues, and LGBTQIA-related concerns.

Connection is one of the most powerful forms of healing. Whether you are feeling isolated, stressed, or overwhelmed in your life, healing often begins with sharing the burden with another person. You’ve taken the first and sometimes the hardest step towards starting therapy. I’m glad you’re here. I am a queer therapist and it is my greatest joy to work with my queer community. I work with people who hold intersecting identities and have experienced a wide range of concerns including trauma, PTSD, gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I offer individual, relationship, and group therapy.

Childhood is one of the most transformative periods in life; each journey is unique and unpredictable. Parenthood mirrors this, full of surprises, challenges, and opportunities. Whether you have a baby or toddler you may be struggling to connect with or an older child in need of support, having a trusted guide during these crucial developmental stages can significantly impact their growth and well-being now and in the future. My goal is to use my training and experience in play therapy, brain science, and attachment to create a supportive environment that fosters stability, understanding, and compassion for your child.

Are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps anxiety, fear, other emotions, or memories are preventing you from being your true self? Asking for help can feel intimidating, and at the same time everyone needs help at some point in their life. I am glad you are starting this process. I am here to work together with you on your concerns, issues, or perhaps the much needed space of a listening ear. I find it can be difficult to vocalize our emotions, share our story, or be our true selves due to many underlying emotions.

Do you ever feel preoccupied by feeling "too much" or "not enough?" Do you feel gnawing uncertainty more often than not? Maybe you have become so focused on the needs of others that you have lost yourself. Life isn’t going the way you thought it would. You might not know where to begin amid mental health trends. You might be sober-curious. You might have dating burnout or fallout with friends and family. I am heart-centered and direct in my approach, because when I feel emotionally supported in a counseling relationship, self-development work just flows.

Whether you need skills to cope better in the present, want support in strengthening your relationship, or need to heal from the past, I want to be a part of your journey. Life, especially right now, can feel unpredictable, and I enjoy helping my clients regain a sense of hope and recognizing where they have power to make long-lasting change. We will use interventions that are going to work best for you based on your individual challenges, beliefs, and values. My sessions are a judgment-free zone and I want to meet you where you're at.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed, or have you experienced something difficult or traumatic? Are you looking for support to heal, or to explore something new? I provide counseling for adults.

The therapeutic experience is as unique as one’s thumb print. I strive to help you achieve your goals in navigating life’s transitions and challenges by creating a safe place for you to process your feelings and concerns.

I am supportive, non-judgmental and warm - with a calm style… and some humor.

We go to therapy because we want to feel better. Dealing with anxiety and low self-esteem can feel like a package deal, and can make it hard to feel mentally healthy day-to-day. For many women, these symptoms may be associated with relationships, previous traumas, or negative body image. No matter what has happened to you, I believe it's possible to find healing, relaxation, and confidence. Finding a therapist you like can be hard, so please take your time to look around, ask plenty of questions, and reach out if you think we may be a good fit!

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor specialized in general mental health care. I have experience working with clients who have substance use disorders, mental health disorders, trauma, and criminogenic needs. I believe that therapy is both an art and a science, and I use a multi-factor approach based on each client’s individual needs. I am passionate about clients feeling they are empowered to make their own choices and validating their experiences. In the therapeutic relationship, I see you as the expert of your life. I am merely a guide and observer to help you reach your goals.

I use a non-judgmental approach that values each person as an individual, considering the many factors that can create personal problems, and guides individuals, couples, and families to reach their goal of physical, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being. As a Colorado native with over 15yrs experience in Clinical/Medical Social Work, I have extensive expierence and a wide network of referrals/colleages when additional support is needed (i.e. elder law attorney, addiction specialist, homemaker services, etc.). I have a strong sense of humor and delight in the little things of life and maintain hope when others cannot.

Those that need help with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationships issues, family problems such as adoption, marriage, blended families, and parenting issues are all welcome.

Welcome! I bring a blend of cognitive and somatic techniques, rooted in a person-centered approach, to help tackle life's challenges from a holistic perspective. Each story is unique, and I approach every client with deep empathy and a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health.
