Therapists in Colorado

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change. Unresolved trauma, grief, guilt, abuse, negative memories, abandonment, betrayal by friends or family can create low self-esteem, unregulated emotions, relational issues, self-isolation, fear of trusting others or being hurt, loneliness, self-harm, feeling burdened by self, suicide ideation, addictive behavior to mask pain, depression, anxiety, co-dependency. I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.

Everyone’s journey towards living a healthy, satisfying, and rewarding life looks different, and my approach to therapy is to support you in reaching your goals on your own terms. Because I don’t believe there is a “right” answer for healing from grief and trauma, feeling more positive or hopeful, less anxious, or improving relationships, I offer a variety of treatment approaches and together we adjust our approach to be the best fit for you.

Life can feel difficult at times. Some problems are brief and only need a few sessions to work through, other problems take much longer. If you are feeling overwhelmed and are not coping with life, consider making an appointment. I offer a wholistic systemic approach. I also offer the Gottman Check-up Assessment for couples seeking to find out how to build a stronger marriage. Getting to a healthier life is possible, schedule a session now!

All sorts of challenges can bring people into therapy whether they are new challenges or ones that have been endured over a lifetime. If you are here, that means that you have identified you need some help with overcoming your challenges- that is a great first step! I love partnering with motivated people that want to make changes in their life and work to conquer what is challenging them.

Life can be overwhelming, and Western culture does not readily offer the tools to help us navigate the impact. We end up carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression in our bodies, and if the the cycle continues, we can end up burnt out. In the confusion, we may turn toward substances, behaviors, and other strategies to cope, which ultimately leave us more burdened than before. As hopeless as things can seem, there are always opportunities to change your inner and outer patterns. Over time, these small changes can redirect your life toward alignment, fulfillment, and ease grounded in the present moment.

As a somatic, experiential therapist, sessions with me will be engaging! Couples and individuals find me hoping to dive deeper in their therapeutic work. I specialize in seeing couples and other relational styles who need support in navigating trust ruptures, communication struggles, trauma (complex, acute, and ancestral), parenting issues, neurodivergency, sexuality, and identity. In addition, I love offering individual work focused within the Internal Family Systems and somatic therapy models. I also enjoy supporting therapists who are seeking therapy.

I come from a community mental health background. Therefore I have worked with many situations and people. I have also spent the last couple of years working in helping people who are in crisis resolve their problems and restore their hope. Often helping them to identify their strengths. I have worked with adolescents struggling with life events and self harming behaviors. Couples counseling, geriatric counseling, and a great deal with trauma and past abuse.

I specialize in working with children of all ages and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem/identity, attachment, emotional/mood difficulties, trauma, opposition/defiance, family conflict, anger, school problems, ADHD, and self-harm behaviors. My strengths-based, integrative, and collaborative approach promotes a child's success across all settings. We will work together to develop a plan that includes realistic goals and evidenced-based interventions to meet your family's needs. I am trained in Synergetic Play Therapy and use specific techniques to introduce self-regulation strategies and address your child's symptoms and possible underlying causes.

Clients who benefit most from working with me are interested in gaining self-awareness, improving interpersonal relationships, and enhancing how they experience life. Therapy with me often focuses on understanding emotional patterns and developing new coping strategies. While therapeutic work is often aimed at resolving a current crisis, many clients find that linking current issues to past experiences is helpful in promoting personal growth rather than just fixing a situation.

I love to work with children (12 and under), and teens (13-19), to provide a therapeutic process that draws forth each client's inner-strength and resilience. In a safe play therapy environment I create space for each client to work through any internal distress hindering them from being freely themselves. I am comfortable working with children who struggle with outburst, withdraw, trauma, social and family issues. Believing each client is unique, the treatment process and pace is tailored to their own needs. I also use non-directive techniques that greatly empower young clients.

Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the adolescent and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

Making the decision to see a therapist is a big one, my goal is to make sure that this decision is a worthwhile one. My straightforward and direct approach coupled with over 25 years of social work practice allows me to form positive working relationships with most. This relationship is the building block for work around a multitude of issues impacting or blocking your ability to function successfully within your life.

Hello and welcome. I understand that trying to find a therapist who feels like the right fit for you and your family can sometimes seem overwhelming. If you are here, you have already taken a courageous next step on your journey of growth. Together we will build a strong therapeutic relationship based in trust, openness, and authenticity. My approach is gentle, personable, and direct, often utilizing humor and metaphor. My strengths based, solution-focused lens serves to help orient my clients to a more holistic picture beyond “the presenting problem.”

Congratulations for having the courage to search for help navigating your emotional life. I am a licensed clinical social worker who works with a variety of clients dealing with emotional and relational challenges. Some are dealing with anxiety and depression that they don't completely understand. Others are having relationship problems with a significant other or family members. Many of the clients I work with have addiction issues which serve to temporarily cover up the pain or emptiness they are feeling. Talking to someone can help you get perspective and feel empowered to deal with overwhelming problems and emotions.

I want to meet you in your struggles. Each and every person, couple, and family deserves to live a more fulfilling and healthy life. The clients that have worked with me find I am focused on ensuring you are getting what you want out of the process, I am committed to collaborating with you towards your growth and best interest. My goal is to empower the client to assume responsibility for the things that are in their control. My experience thus far has been highlighted by openness to experience and curiosity to finding the best treatment for my clients. I strive to create an environment like this for each of my clients.

I work with teen and adult individuals/couples from a humanistic, somatic, mindfulness based perspective. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a guiding force in the healing process and an essential component for clients to more deeply access themselves. I will support you in mindfully unpacking and processing your past, your present, and the moments when the past and present feel connected. Together, we will practice tending to your self without judgement and compassionately returning to your self over and over again. My hope is to support you so that you feel more equipped to show up fully in your life.

Do you feel lost and without a sense of purpose? Are you looking for a greater sense of self-worth and esteem? Would you like more meaning and connection in your relationships? I can help! As a strengths based individual, couples, & family therapist, I will work with you to identify your strengths while helping you to better understand yourself. I will help you gain specific tools to achieve your goals. Whether you are goal-oriented or are looking for a more open-ended self-discovery process, we will tailor your therapeutic experience so you have something to take with you to improve your daily life.
