Stress Therapists in Colorado

When you are in the depths of pain or struggle, taking action seems impossible or pointless. In an uncertain world, how do you even begin to find a path forward? You are not alone or broken. I am here to encourage and empower you…to help you find hope and strength. You have the ability to create your future. One where you have the clarity and confidence needed to succeed on your terms. The power to engage in life and relationships in healthy ways. Together, we will work toward a life that you want to live! I offer a non-judgmental space where you can dream again. In our sessions, we will collaborate to create safety and find solutions based on your actual needs rather than assumptions. It is your time to be able to explore your life and get the support and resources you need to accomplish your goals. When you are ready, I look forward to learning how I can serve you. I have a wide range of appointment times open and you can get started with counseling in as little as one week. Visit my website to learn more and to schedule a free initial consultation.

Welcome! I help individuals and couples make sense of their overwhelm by defining the problem and giving them tools to practice in session. You will also be assigned homework and I will provide you with the resources you need (quizzes, pdf’s, book recommendations, etc) to achieve your goals outside of your session. I am a licensed social worker and I am trained in marriage and family therapy. What that means is that in therapy we will look at the patterns in your life, your connections with others and the impact of your environment when working toward your goals. I love realness in therapy. I value being honest and direct with you and welcome your honesty and directness as well.

Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.

Hello! I am client-centered in my approach, and I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual client's needs, strengths, and goals.

I believe that although seeking therapeutic help can be intimidating, when we work together to create meaningful change, we can achieve increased life satisfaction and happiness. My specialties include complex trauma, depression, personality disorders, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, addictions, and women’s issues. Clients describe me as easy to talk to, gently confrontational, and friendly. I strive to follow my clients' needs while pointing out patterns and themes that I see from a "bird's eye view".
