Individual Therapy for Personal Growth and Healing
In Person in the Denver Metro Area | Online for all CA residents
Our time together is a place where you can be genuine and honest. I deeply value our relationship, striving to provide safety and trust above all else. The patterns that emerge in therapy are most likely related to the patterns in your life, and together we will be curious and open about them. I will commit to supporting you through this journey in a compassionate way. With all the challenges in life, having someone to talk to can easily help relieve some of the burden.
I am an active listener, but also an interactive one, offering my professional perspective on things as they arise.
What to Expect
Together, we will take a more in-depth look into your family of origin and close relationships to better understand what you are going through and how these things may affect your current state of mind.
I welcome fear, sadness, grief, anger, and many other forms of emotion with open arms, so that these feelings can be expressed and received instead of repressed and swept under the rug to be forgotten.
I have an acute eye for creating awareness around body language and bodily reactions to sensitivities. Our body holds memories, reactions, feelings, and trauma. Listening to the body is looking at the "whole" person. Our non-verbal communication offers insight into the psyche.
Explore, sit with, identify, and learn where your beliefs come from. I changed the "I should" to "I want to or I don't want to" in hopes that it gives you choice and agency.

FAQ for Individual Therapy
Is individual therapy helpful if I am having relationship issues?
Yes, individual therapy allows you to process, examine and understand your feelings in the relationship. It can help you make decisions for yourself, gain perspective and see your role or part in the relationship. Whether it's marital, parter, work colleagues, friends or even your kids.
I don't always know what to talk about, how do you handle that?
You don't need a plan or topic to come into therapy. In fact I welcome you to come as you are. It's a great opportunity to start learning about how to check in with yourself, including your feelings, your body, your thoughts and see what is below the surface. We usually have so much going on at any given time that it's not hard to start recognizing your internal state and reflecting on it.
What if I am feeling good, then what?
We talk about that! It's so valuable to highlight, share, reflect on and appreciate the goodness in life. It's an opportunity to see how you got there and where do you want to go when you are feeling this way. Therapy isn't just about hard things, it's also about joy, laughter, growth, success and milestones.
How often do we meet?
I start by seeing clients weekly, at least for six months. I am coming into your life and there usually is a lot to learn. It gives us time to build a strong and trusting relationship, as well as process things without rushing. After that we can discuss changing the cadence as needed. I know there is a natural progression to reducing therapy sessions which is a signal that you are getting something out of it.
