Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping adult and adolescent patients dismantle shame and live a joyful life as their fullest, most authentic selves. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Health At Every Size (HAES) and social justice-aligned principles, with a focus on those struggling with eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, and anxiety, as well as specialty work with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Jewish-identifying clients. No matter the struggle, I view each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms and diagnoses, taking a trauma-informed approach to help you develop greater self-esteem and self-efficacy. If you are interested in working together, please reach out and schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you! Working together, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment that supports you in your journey toward greater mental health. I utilize a mixed-therapy approach to help you gain greater self-awareness and act in a way that’s best aligned with your goals and values. These therapies include DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as well as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been committed to helping adolescents and adults break free of patterns that have been keeping them from achieving their goals. I view each client as the expert on their own lives, and enjoy providing them with tools that lead them toward building the lives they want and deserve. I can often be found hiking, skiing, or relaxing outside in my free time. When I’m indoors, I enjoy reading, cooking, weightlifting, and rooting for the Colorado Avalanche.

Working together, you can expect a warm and nurturing environment that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you manage current mental health symptoms and work to strengthen your relationship with "self" and others. My style is holistic, and I tailor my approach to each person's unique situation. My time as a caseworker led me to becoming a therapist. As a caseworker, I supported young parents in obtaining their high school and college degrees, an experience that strengthened my commitment to providing empathetic care and highlighted the power of the therapist-client relationship in connecting and supporting a diverse range of individuals.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by life’s demands? Do you find it difficult to be fully present in the moment? Do you worry about the uncertainties of the future? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I may be able to help you. You deserve to be able to enjoy your life- not feel trapped by it. Finding the tools to navigate anxiety, depression, or trauma may not be easy, but it is a rewarding process that you do not have to go through alone. Whether you are struggling with self-esteem, emotional regulation, or stress, you can find the support you need to overcome these challenges. I can help you break free from the endless cycles of stress and take back control of your life. My ideal client is someone who is curious and reflective, as well as willing to take the necessary steps to improve their quality of life when the time is right for them. If this sounds like you, send me a message so we discuss how I can best help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

From a young age, I always had a passion for helping and supporting others. No matter your struggle, I see the human being in front of me, not a label or diagnosis. My vision for our work together is tailored to you and concentrates on your unique, individual needs. My office is a judgment-free zone, so let’s roll up our sleeves and finally talk about the things you've been carrying in silence. I not only accept all, I embrace all. I can’t wait to get started with you! My clinical background centers around the most common mental health concerns you might be facing, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems with effective communication, life transitions, anger management, parenting support, body image, gender identity, and support around coping skills. My therapeutic approach values solution-focused care, challenging your beliefs and way of thinking while building a warm and safe space through humor, collaboration, empowerment, and rapport. I also specialize in sex and relationship therapy for individuals. Having seen the impact of stress on sexual minorities, I know firsthand the importance of finding a therapist who embraces the complexities of sexuality and diverse relationship styles. The most common sex therapy concerns I treat that folx bring in are gaps in desire, sexual functioning issues, sexual behavior that feels out of control (commonly referred to as “sex addiction” or “porn addiction”), and many more. No power dynamic, fetish, kink, fantasy, behavior, or desire is too much for us to discuss together. I am also proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the sex worker community. You are safe here. Outside the office, you’ll often find me photographing the Colorado sights or reading in the mile-high sunshine. And, of course, daydreaming about future travel plans abroad!

As a clinical therapist with a focus on holistic mental health care, I work with individuals who want to feel more balanced, grounded, and confident in their lives. Whether you’re navigating stress, life transitions, emotional challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I offer a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore what’s holding you back and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more self‑aware, empowered, and connected to what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose—at a pace that feels right for you. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s built on trust, understanding, and genuine human connection. In our work together, you can expect a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where curiosity, honesty, and growth are encouraged. I use evidence‑based, person‑centered approaches while remaining flexible and responsive to your unique needs and goals. I strive to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as a grounded, empathetic partner in your healing process. No matter what you’re facing, my aim is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. My journey into mental health care grew from a deep desire to help others, combined with an interest in research surrounding Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in former athletes. This background strengthened my commitment to holistic, trauma‑informed, and compassionate care. Today, I bring openness, empathy, and a nonjudgmental perspective into every session, creating a space where healing, reflection, and growth can truly take place. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy playing guitar and spending time outdoors in beautiful Colorado. I’m also a big sports fan and enjoy supporting local teams and collecting memorabilia—interests that often help build natural connection and rapport with clients.

“I feel like I’m trying so hard to hold everything together, but inside I’m barely holding on.” “I feel burned out, like I’m surviving instead of thriving.” “I’m surrounded by people, yet I can’t shake the feeling that no one truly sees me.” If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone. College and young adulthood can bring a mix of pressure, uncertainty, and self-doubt. The fact that you’ve made it this far shows real strength. Love and joy have always been your birthright, and I’m here to help you find your way back to them. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, uncover your strengths, and build healthier ways of coping, all while honoring your unique lived experiences. I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach that draws from CBT and mindfulness to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. My hope is to provide a space that feels safe enough for honesty and soft enough for healing—a place where you can finally exhale and begin to feel like yourself again. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on your path toward greater well-being. Reach out by phone or email today to set up your free consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Do you wish to understand the complex ways your experiences have shaped the individual standing before you in the mirror today? Perhaps you’ve struggled to understand and accept difficult and painful situations of the past, or maybe there are certain unproductive thoughts that seem to continuously infiltrate the mind. Maybe you’re seeking your fullest potential to living life, authentically and in alignment with your declared value system. These are aspects that we can take a deeper look at to make your human experience as personally valuable as it deserves to be. I invite all identity and value exploration as we take a look at the life experiences that shape your individual, and work to understand, process, and accept the frameworks that are present today. Using a holistic approach to the psychodynamic lens, we will address the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects that make up the whole human.

I provide trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy rooted in psychodynamic and interpersonal process approaches. Together we’ll explore protective patterns, make sense of what you’re carrying, and practice new ways of relating that feel more connecting, honest, and secure.

“I feel like my past still affects who I am today.” “I worry constantly and don’t know how to turn my mind off.” “I don’t really know who I am or what I want anymore.” You are not alone. I am here to provide support as you take the first steps toward therapy. It can feel overwhelming to begin, but you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and start learning how to show up for yourself with more clarity and compassion. No matter where you are in life, you have a place here to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and rooted in compassion. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to be honest about your experiences as you navigate your unique healing journey. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you. Therapy should feel collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your needs, and I’m here to support you as you take the next steps in your journey. If you feel we may be a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.

I work with people who want to understand what’s going on beneath the surface so they can move toward a more intentional, meaningful life. My approach draws from CBT and ACT with an existential lens, helping you explore questions of freedom, choice, and values and apply them in ways that change how you actually experience your life. Maybe you’ve been holding it together, but something still feels off. Your mind won’t slow down, your relationships feel repetitive or unsatisfying, or there’s a sense that you’re not quite living the life you want. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to sort it out alone. In our work together you can expect a space that is curious and nonjudgmental. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll start making sense of your experiences and develop ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you are. Change doesn’t usually happen all at once, but I believe it’s possible through small, meaningful shifts over time. If this feels like a good fit, reach out and we can find a time to connect.

I help people whose mood, trauma, anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts are controlling their lives learn to cope and feel in control again. Seeking therapy can be a scary step, but I'm excited to say that you don’t have to manage life's difficulties alone. In therapy, I will support you in learning what your body is communicating through sadness, panic, insecurity, grief, and hopelessness. We can explore a variety of ways to process, as well as coping skills that match your life and who you are. I believe that we are experts of our own experiences, and my role is to guide you toward healing while honoring your personal values. I practice EMDR and have expertise in a variety of areas, including trauma, addiction, substance use, and the LGBTQIA community. Whether it's the big life altering traumas or the day-to-day difficulties and systems we navigate, there are ways to move forward and find hope. I hope to work with you soon!

When you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, grief, and pain, you need a safe, supportive space to begin your journey towards understanding and healing. Therapy is a space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your life experiences, patterns of thinking, and actions. It can help you create the opportunity to promote personal change and growth. It may feel daunting at first, but as a therapist, I am here to walk next to you and help you navigate your healing journey. Therapy is not “one size fits all”. We will collaborate in partnership to identify your strengths and needs and choose the best approach for you. In therapy, I choose to listen deeply, show up authentically, and give empathy freely. Choosing a therapist can be a stressful decision. I have experience working with people ages 20-65+ who are learning to navigate things like trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I utilize a holistic approach that considers every aspect of who you are as an individual because your mental health is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up who you are. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. You deserve safety, peace, and kindness. I cannot wait to hear your story.

Our work will focus on reclaiming your personal power, living as an expression of your values, and growing your capacity to create change in your life. One of my guiding beliefs as a therapist is that you already possess the strength, ability, and innate qualities needed to evolve; I am here to help identify and remove the obstacles standing in your way. In therapy, we create a space to discover realistic solutions to problematic patterns and learn coping skills that produce lasting change to create your “best life.” My desire as your therapist is to offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to show up as your authentic self. I use an evidence based therapeutic approach to construct healthy solutions to life concerns. I utilize my professional skills for treatment, but also lean on my personal experiences of grief and loss, trauma, the intricacies of couple and family relationships, hopelessness and conceptualizing a sense of purpose and identity.

The answers to your healing already reside within you. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support you in uncovering the path to success. No one understands your needs for growth and transformation better than you do. As a therapist, my role is to assist you in navigating your unique journey and offer tools that can guide you towards the healing and growth you seek. I firmly believe that each person's life path and requirements are distinct, shaped by their individual experiences and intersectionality. I strive to create a therapeutic experience that is tailored to each client, provide support, and foster achievable goals. Adopting a holistic approach, I collaborate with my clients to help them achieve healing. During our sessions, I aim to create a safe, creative, compassionate, and accountable environment. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Parts Work, and Attachment Theories, I integrate various therapeutic modalities to best suit your needs. My goal is to assist you in recognizing areas in your life that require nourishment, discovery, and empowerment.

I believe that every individual is worthy of a safe therapeutic space to process, grow and heal. I am an empathetic therapist who creates an opportunity for others to understand their emotions while equipping them with practical tools to cultivate new, healthier patterns of thinking and/or behavior. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges whether it is related to personal growth, life changes, relationships, or trauma. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, trauma, survivors of partner violence and working with adolescents. I draw from several different therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and art therapy with a mindfulness foundation to support you in your journey.

I like to begin by listening to why you are here, what you need out of therapy, and how I can support you. Weathering change or difficult realities can be isolating and overwhelming, and you are brave to reach out for support. I aim to create a reliable container and relationship that benefits your growth. You’ve known yourself the longest, so you will be in the expert in our relationship. I believe you deserve access to care that is transparent and informed, which is part of why I share that I am queer and will offer a queer-informed approach. Learning more about ourselves and accepting challenges can be daunting, and I would love to support you in doing so. I specifically have experience in working with OCD and other anxiety disorders. I use modalities such as dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I love working with youth, adolescents, and adults.

Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps. I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes. That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together. If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

Hi! We are a group therapy practice with a location in Denver and the ability to meet virtually throughout Colorado. We support students as they navigate life through and after college. Our team of kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and light-hearted clinicians have a wide range of specialties. We get the broad range of college life - challenges of academics, social navigation, deciding whether college is right for you, what to do next, family conflict that may arise, supporting learning differences, finding clarity on what you want and how you want to live your life.

I specialize in therapy for late teens (16+) and adults with OCD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, challenging family dynamics, athletes and those who love and support athletes, those wanting to work on relationship difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw from evidence-based techniques including exposure and response prevention (ERP), person-centered, attachment-relational, trauma-informed, EMDR therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I have additional training in ERP for OCD and phobias.

My approach is systemic, meaning that I take all factors into consideration – past, present and future. I focus on supporting issues related to anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, substance use, body image issues, trauma and relationship struggles. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Family Studies, Master’s in Social Work and a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor. I have completed training as an Intuitive Eating Counselor through The Original Intuitive Eating Pros and Eye-movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and IFS foundational training.
