Forensic Psychology Therapists in Arvada, CO

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves and to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, intersecting identities, and those within the criminal justice system. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I believe identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems. Please email if interested. I work Tuesdays thru Saturdays.

I have been passionate about psychology and helping others for as long as I can remember. One of my early passions became to destigmatize mental health care. Mental health is just as important as physical health. I work with a variety of individuals working to live happier and healthier lives by overcoming many different issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, and more. Through my own personal experience, I know beginning the therapy journey can feel a bit daunting, however I am here to help create a safe and collaborative space where you are comfortable.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor and I am committed to making a positive impact on each client I work with.

However, I have trained in many areas and work with clients with a variety of concerns and diagnoses. I hope to be able to help guide you through your therapeutic journey and create a collaborative, supportive, therapeutic relationship that meets your needs.

Our life journeys are unique to us all. New experiences are awaiting us in every new direction we take; I believe that there is never a wrong path. I base my therapeutic approach on the belief that we all are good at heart, worthy, and capable of making the right choices for ourselves. Even though we can't always choose what happens to us, we can choose how we respond. I believe the way we handle the tough things life throws at us - loss, hardship, adversity, rejection—is what defines each of us as a human.

“What is wrong with me?” you think to yourself. You feel disconnected from others. You don’t feel as though anyone truly understands you or gets you. You keep talking to your family, friends, or partner about the same issue but there is no resolution. They keep asking, “What do you actually want?” but your mind goes blank. Or you know what you want, but you vocalizing your wants would hurt important people in your life. Or you don’t think what you want is important as you’ve navigated your entire life with putting your wants and needs last.

I enjoy providing a space for individuals from all walks of life to speak, be heard, heal, grow, and explore themselves and the world around them.

Therapy is not only for times of crises and hitting "rock bottom." It is a space for self-exploration, reflection, and intention setting. I recognize that seeking therapy and professional support can be intimidating. I support folks in overcoming stuckness, and ambivalence, disrupting internalized toxic and limiting beliefs, and finding their voice and confidence through spiritual and ancestral healing and practices to encourage optimal changes in the mind, community, body, and spirit.

We provide either in person or telehealth sessions for clients dealing with all kinds of challenges going on in their lives. We have Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Licensed Professional Counselors spread out over metro Denver to Fort Collins Colorado.

Psychotherapy is for everyone. You do not have to wait until your life falls apart to seek help. In fact, many of us will never experience a mental health crisis. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot benefit from therapy. Things are going well but you want to learn how to live your best life? Things aren’t going so great and you want to get back to where you were before Covid? Things went south and you really need some help? No matter where you are on this spectrum, therapy IS for you. Whether you are seeking Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy or traditional talk therapy, I’m here and ready to help. Let’s get started. You deserve this.

At times, life is filled with authenticity, laughter, and fun. Other times it can be demanding, draining, and leave us feeling unsure. The highs and lows of life are normal and we all feel it, but at times we need extra support and space, and that is okay! As your therapist, my main goal is to provide an open, safe and accepting place for all to navigate life. Through deconstructing unhelpful beliefs, utilizing art and play to aid in emotional expression and increasing self-compassion, my hope is to find unique ways to support your or you child's journey to better mental health.

In many ways, our culture has designed an environment where perfectionism, anxiety, and depression are normalized, and a strong sense of self is lost. The individuals I work with are curious about who they really are as a whole human, and are open to exploring the perfectionism that has guided them. Other clients may have narcissistic or antisocial personality traits and a desire to identify and understand behaviors that may be hindering them. My commitment to the individuals I serve is to foster an environment that is free of shame and judgment, where they can finally explore their most authentic self.

I use a cognitive-behavioral, person-centered approach. I have experience in clinical hypnosis and various types of psychotherapeutic approaches.

I try to be solution-focused and give my clients tools they can use for a lifetime. I am skilled in working with the following conditions: Addictions Adjustment Problems Anger Management Anxiety Bipolar I and Bipolar II Disorders Depression Grief and Loss
