Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Wheat Ridge, CO

Life can be challenging and inevitably ends up throwing us curve balls we don't expect or see coming. Because of life's intricacies, sometimes we need a space to come and sort them all out. It is my goal to provide that warm and open space for you. The space to come talk about and process the difficulties you are experiencing and feel heard in doing so. I would love to work alongside of you and collaborate in finding your strengths, learning new coping skills, and moving towards healing and a more fulfilled life.

For as long as I can remember, human connection has been a passion and priority in my life. I have been working in the mental health field since 2017 and have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations including: young children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, premarital and marital couples, and families. I have experience working at different levels of care including outpatient, partial hospitalization, and inpatient facilities. I work from a collaborative and systemic perspective considering all of the inter-moving parts that may be impacting what is going on and together, we decide on the best course of action.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to take action to make changes in their thoughts and behavior. They are open to learning different perspectives and techniques to address symptoms directly. They would be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ocd, ptsd, and/or personality disorders. My ideal client could be anyone 18 to 90. I have worked as a psychologist for 15 years and have extensive experience working with a population diverse in cultural and ethnic identity, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, and socioeconomic status. I value each person has a unique experience and perspective.

Life is stressful. and stress can hurt us, limit us, and prevent us from living our best life. You deserve to thrive and have peace of mind & heart. . Today, because of the pandemic we are all faced with great uncertainty and stress. Life's stressors can take a toll on us mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Life's stressors don't have to control our lives. There is hope and I can help.

I believe that therapeutic listening can support us as humans to clarify our own intentions and hear our truth. Modern external life challenges like relationships, balancing career and family, and unforeseen hurdles can leave us unbalanced and disconnected. My ideal client is looking for a beacon within themselves that I hope to shine a light to bring back to center. As a mother, entrepreneur and self-starter of many fulfilling endeavors, realizing that the grounded connection to our own inner voice is fundamental in generating a meaningful life also plays a role in what I bring to the table as a mentor, champion and resource.

My goal as your therapist is to support you in navigating hardships and unexpected changes, discover your inner resilience, and recognize ways to evolve and enhance your life. As you navigate the path to healing and growth, I hope to help you light the way.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate effectively when there is an issue, and you end up lashing out or withdrawing? Often time, when a partner has an unexpected reaction to a request or a comment, this will trigger feelings of being a burden, unloved, not good enough, or that you’re too much. I imagine when you feel this as a result of your partner's response, you respond by either pursuing your partner for answers to why they behaved that way or you withdraw from them. This is a typical cycle in relationships and can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and distrust and can lead to unwanted behaviors.

It is an honor and privilege to help people and to co-create a space for people's pain to heal. I believe that mental health is part of our whole health, and building a trustworthy collaborative relationship in which the client feels empowered to lead a healthy life is valuable. Today, we are all faced with great uncertainty and stress. Life's stressors can take a toll on us mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Life's stressors don't have to control our lives. I love inspiring people to move beyond life's stressors and thrive in life having peace of mind and heart.

Life has gotten more complicated. Too many problems to try to manage at once. Sometimes it gets hard to breathe, and no time to stop and take care of yourself. Everyone else seems happier.

Life is overwhelming, and doesn't seem to be getting any better. How long have you been thinking "I really need to talk to someone"? No need to keep struggling, a professional counselor can help.

I work with adults, teens, transition age youth, and their families. I help them manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral concerns. This includes high achievers struggling with perfectionism/anxiety, depressed clients where brushing their teeth in the morning was a success, those going through or post a divorce, families who are struggling to get along or function, and anyone experiencing a change in life that causes stress. It is my aim to help clients understand both themselves and their relationships more fully.

We help families, couples, and individuals who are struggling. We offer them help when they are working through personal struggles, family concerns, the difficult teen years, emotional/behavioral issues, or other difficult life circumstances. This includes circumstances including depression, anxiety, self harming behavior, suicidal ideation, family communication issues, trauma, etc. We know this process can be scary and I commend you for starting it!

Are you new to your therapy journey or nervous to try this new step? That’s understandable, because change can be scary. I believe the only way to conquer that fear is to embrace the process. Change is the only constant in life, and we should all be growing and developing throughout our journey. Therapy is a space where you can take the time to reflect on where you are and where you want to be, practice consistency in showing up for yourself and learn that we are often not going to be the exact same person we were years ago.

Who do you turn to when your partner has stopped acknowledging, considering, or appreciating you? When you’re afraid that you won’t get the kind of love you need? Or the kind of respect you crave from your family or partner? Do you notice that the more you try to achieve these things, you feel more distant? Maybe there’s a recent change in your family that you didn’t see coming. You want to stay emotionally connected with them but you notice yourself drifting away. You desperately want a deep connection, to know you’re doing the right thing.
