Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

College can be disruptive and difficult. I am here to support you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise in this season of life. I want to help you live your most meaningful life. I will work with you to deeply explore who you are, what you truly want, and what past beliefs or experiences may be holding you back from your growth. Together, we will uncover the ways in which you may have abandoned parts of yourself over time. Using masks or personas as a means of survival can damage you on a core level, reinforcing the false belief that you are not enough as you are. But the truth is: you are enough. Let’s examine the events, people, and circumstances that have wounded your sense of self, so you can reconnect with the authentic person you are. Therapy is a hero's journey that requires vulnerability, but the honesty you will find is profoundly liberating. If you are ready to begin this transformative work, I would be honored to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. If you have questions or want to learn more, please visit my website at www.theworkshoptherapy.com, or feel free to reach out via phone at (206)920-7168 or email.

“I’m tired of being misunderstood by others.” “I have a hard time facing negative emotions.” “I feel stuck and unsure of my next steps.” “I feel like no one relates to me.” “I wish I was better at communicating my feelings.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I'm here to help. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore who you are, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My passion includes working with individuals to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and self-esteem. I value creativity, authenticity, compassion, and humor—and I strive to bring those qualities into every session. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I’m here to make you feel seen and supported in a safe, warm environment where you can show up as your authentic self. If you'd like to start your therapeutic journey with me, please reach out to me via phone or email so we can discuss how to best move forward.

Hi! I understand that asking for help is difficult. Sometimes we need someone who truly wants to listen and be there for us. I believe that having someone in your corner to both validate and challenge you is essential to personal growth. I will help guide you through this process of self-discovery - piecing together the mosaic of your life in a way that can serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. Maybe you feel like you're not in the driver's seat of your life anymore. Or you feel like you don't really know who you are. Or maybe it's difficult to know what it is you truly want, and how to get there. Wherever you may be, we can take the first few steps into the therapeutic experience. The therapeutic process is challenging, but with every challenge comes the opportunity of empowerment, increased confidence, and self-discovery. Let me help you decide which path you would like to take next.

Do you find yourself wrestling with conflicting emotions or feeling like a bystander in your own life? Have you lost touch with your sense of home and belonging? You don't have to grapple with these challenges alone. If you're unsure where to begin, I'm here to provide support. Together, we'll create a safe and nurturing space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. As your partner in therapy, my priority is your well-being. We'll work collaboratively to unpack your emotions, untangle life's complexities, and uncover the deeper significance of your experiences. Whether you need empowerment, motivation, or simply someone to lean on, I'll be there every step of the way. My goal is to help you navigate the toughest thoughts and emotions, guiding you towards a better understanding of yourself.

Don’t let your problems define you. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma, but there are ways to work through challenging thoughts and emotions to reclaim your life. Change can be a wonderful thing! Having someone to share your story with and help you work through those sticky points can be powerful. I’m here to listen to and empower you. Therapy is a collaborative effort, and I would be honored to be your partner on your healing journey. If you would like to work together, please call or email me for a free 15 minute consultation.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in overcoming the consequences of trauma for adults of all ages. As a well-rounded clinician with more than 12 years of experience, I help insightful adults overcome the lingering effects of trauma that keep them from optimal living. I specialize in helping people overcome barriers to optimal growth. My approach is collaborative, conversational and compassionate. I'm passionate about helping people access known or newly discovered capacities for meaningful living. Working together, you can expect a relaxed and judgement free environment. I use meaningful conversations, with a mixture of humor and insight, to help clients realize their unique potential for growth. My style is interactional, and I work to honor each person's emotional and spiritual journey. My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age with the realization that complete strangers quickly felt comfortable sharing their deep concerns, regrets, fears, etc. and walked away with a sense of hope and relief. They felt seen and appreciated. These experiences convinced me that a person-centered approach, with the intent of mutual discernment of the path forward, is often the most effective therapy.

Trauma, anxiety, grief, and the weight of difficult life experiences deserve compassionate and dedicated support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor for individuals ages 13-65, I specialize in trauma-focused care that helps you find genuine healing, greater self-understanding, and healthier patterns in your relationships and everyday life. EMDR and Brainspotting are at the heart of my work, two powerful approaches that help reduce emotional distress and move you forward in ways that feel meaningful and lasting. From the first session, you can expect a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and built around you. Building your insight, resilience, and healthy coping tools is what drives our time together, and supporting you through real, lasting change is what I'm here for. Compassionate, grounded, and collaborative — that's how I approach every session with you. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to explore your experiences while developing new patterns that support growth and self-understanding, and creating that space is what I'm here to do. Using evidence-based treatments, including Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Mindfulness, we'll work together to process difficult experiences, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. Because no two people are alike, the direction of our work is always shaped by your unique needs, goals, and life experiences. My path to becoming a therapist began in healthcare, where I spent years supporting patients and striving to bring compassion to people who were struggling. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was a turning point. I witnessed firsthand the emotional toll that stress, grief, burnout, and uncertainty placed on so many people, particularly those working in healthcare alongside me. That experience clarified what I was called to do. I returned to school, pursued licensure as a professional counselor, and deepened my commitment to the kind of trauma-informed, compassionate care that helps people feel truly supported and never alone in what they're facing. Now, I am proud to bring empathy, authenticity, and genuine investment to every session. Outside of the therapy room, I find grounding in the simple things: reading, writing fiction, spending time with family, and being outdoors. These moments of connection and creativity remind me of what matters most, and they inform the presence and care I bring to my work with patients.

Do you feel consumed by thoughts about food, exercise, or your body? Do you control your weight as a way to control your life? Does the thought of your body changing bring about intense feelings of guilt, shame, or fear? Are your standards so high for yourself that it is a challenge to get even the smallest task done? Are you constantly criticizing every move you make? Are you constantly on-edge? Are your thoughts so loud that your mind never feels like a safe place? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I am here to help you. Recovery from an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or trauma can feel like a daunting task, and it is not something you have to do alone. I help people make peace with their mind and body. Though your thoughts may be telling you that you are the exception, it is possible for you to cultivate a more peaceful, fulfilling life. I am incredibly passionate about helping people like you. Even if you feel hopeless, I am here to hold hope for you in a warm, non-judgmental environment. I have witnessed my clients find hope at their lowest points, overcome their challenges, and achieve their goals. If this profile resonates with you, give me a call. I look forward to getting to know you.

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.

I am a patient-centered and trauma-informed clinician committed to helping adults, children, and teenagers navigate mental health struggles. I specialize in identity, trauma, and queer issues, along with self-esteem challenges, anxiety, and depression. Working together, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative environment tailored to your unique needs and preferences to ensure comprehensive, customized care. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and narrative therapy to help you explore your inner worlds. I believe in your expertise in your own life, and that will be a core part of our work together. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward healing and self-discovery. My path to becoming a therapist began with previous work in public policy and advocacy. This insightful experience deepened my commitment to providing holistic, systems-informed care, where I bring an understanding of the many systems and circumstances that impact patient lives to each session. Outside the office, I can often be found hiking or biking in the mountains, enjoying live music, or at home cooking a good meal or cozied up with a good book.

We all face challenges, stressors, traumas, losses, and changes in life. Especially as women. Especially now. We are supposed to have it all, do it all, be it all. For everyone. All the time. Like yesterday. At Discover Peace Within, we recognize that as a human being, you have access to a reservoir of strength, resiliency, and peace within you. Yet, right now, you feel so far away from that sense of peace. Your childhood trauma keeps repeating itself in your relationships. Your low self-esteem makes you say “yes” when you mean “no.” You’re constantly worried if you belong. You lay awake at night wondering if you said the right thing? Did the right thing? You’re fearful of being “too much” while also feeling “not enough.” Life is happening so fast - you feel that you can’t keep up. You want to feel closer to yourself. Your true self. Not the self that you present to the world. Or to your boss and co-workers. Or even friends or family. You know what living in your true self feels like. You’ve had glimpses of it before. When your body-mind-spirit all clicked into place. You know she’s still there. She’s underneath all of the trauma from childhood. Or the messages from others about what you SHOULD be. What society makes you believe you HAVE to do. You’re blocked from making choices that YOU want to make. You’re held back from going for that job, putting yourself out there with friends, or resting when you need to. You struggle seeing the good in you. And yet, there is a voice within you, reminding you of your true self. Therapy can be a helpful place to get back to you. To get back to your true self. Working with a therapist at Discover Peace Within can offer you a sacred space - a time dedicated solely to you and your needs. A time for you to heal. Take a chance on you to discover peace within and book an appointment now.

If you’re struggling to navigate current relationships, find ways to heal from past trauma, develop meaning and purpose in life, or cope with what life throws at you, I’m here to be a companion in your journey. I am an emotion-focused and trauma-informed therapist for individuals ages 10 and up, with clinical experience in a wide depth of reasons one might seek out therapy, including relational trauma, depression, anxiety, identity issues, self-esteem, emerging adulthood, psychosis, attachment, self-harm, life transitions, parenting support, and more. I know there can often be mixed feelings when starting therapy, and I see your courage. I look forward to meeting you where you’re at, getting to know you, and witnessing your growth in our work together. Please reach out today to take the next step on your healing path. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and growth is always possible, which is why I’m passionate about being an active partner who helps you step into your most authentic self. I attune my intervention approaches to your specific needs while most often utilizing existential, attachment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strength-based approaches to achieve your goals for growth and work toward your most fulfilling life. If seeking couples therapy, I utilize Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches most often. If seeking therapy for your child, I have a background in play therapy, including attachment play therapy approaches. Working together, you can expect a warm, wholistic, curious, and collaborative environment as we collaborate to manage the challenging parts of life. I bring my compassion and authenticity each day to help guide you through your own healing journey. When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m often out in nature, whether that’s on a photography hike, camping, or learning snowboarding. I also enjoy recharging through quality time with loved ones, board game nights, or maybe planning my next national park getaway!

Healing is rarely a straight path, and having the right support can make all the difference. As a mental health therapist, my work centers on helping adults 18 and older from diverse backgrounds navigate the ways mental health shapes their personal, professional, and social lives, whether that means managing everyday stress or working through more complex challenges. My commitment is to meet you exactly where you are, as a collaborative partner on your therapeutic journey, to help you build the tools and insight needed to move forward. Together, we'll work toward the clarity, resilience, and hope you deserve. Compassionate, humorous, and guided by you — that's the foundation of how I show up for every person I work with. I believe deeply in the healing power of human connection, and getting to witness that unfold in practice is what drives me. At all times, you can expect a nonjudgmental space where laughter is always welcome alongside the harder conversations. My style is empathetic and adaptive, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Mindfulness-based approaches to strengthen your sense of well-being across all areas of life. Your unique goals, experiences, and needs shape the direction of our work together, because the most meaningful progress happens when care is truly tailored to you. My path to becoming a therapist began with first being a patient myself. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to seek support and the profound impact attentive, caring treatment can have on a person's life. Today, that lived experience informs every session I offer. Alongside my clinical training, it grounds me in empathy and authentic presence, and I'm just as eager to learn from your story as I am to share the tools that may help you write the next chapter. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me recharging through creative and outdoor pursuits. Drawing and painting offer a meditative outlet, while fishing and archery bring a welcome sense of patience and focus. Reading keeps my curiosity alive, and regular walks help me stay grounded, a practice I find just as valuable in everyday life as in the work we do together.

Life rarely moves in a straight path, and the transitions, pressures, and losses that come with it can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. As a clinical social worker and therapist, helping people navigate the challenges that arise throughout adulthood is work I find deeply meaningful. Whether you're managing the weight of a major life change, working through strained relationships, struggling with work-life balance, facing caregiver stress, or searching for a renewed sense of purpose, you don't have to navigate it alone. These experiences can stir up anxiety, sadness, frustration, guilt, isolation, or hopelessness, and that's exactly where meaningful support can make a difference. Together, we work to transform those challenges into opportunities for growth and a more fulfilling, joyful life. At the heart of effective therapy is a strong, trusting relationship, and building that with you is my first priority. Empathy, authenticity, and genuine connection are not just values I hold; they are the foundation of how I show up for every person I work with, because you deserve a space where you feel truly heard and respected, and where open, honest dialogue is always welcomed. As we work together, I draw from evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and goals. That might look like broadening perspective, building resilience, practicing self-compassion, or challenging the thoughts that keep you feeling small. Whatever your path forward looks like, my aim is to be a supportive partner dedicated to your healing journey as you reclaim your sense of agency, practice self-compassion, and deepen your connection to yourself and others. My path to becoming a therapist began with a feeling of restlessness after a trial run at retirement. Reflecting on my life, I realized there was still more to give, just as so many had given to me along the way. Throughout my own journey, the attentive listening and encouragement of others kept me hopeful during fearful and uncertain times. Phrases like "this too shall pass," "one day at a time," “don’t borrow worry,” and "to thine own self be true" became anchors when doubt and insecurity crept in. Those experiences shaped my deep belief in the power of being truly heard. Before this chapter, I spent my career in management and leadership roles at innovative medical device companies, guiding diverse teams through change and helping develop products that improved patient access and outcomes. That work taught me the enduring importance of empathy, trusted communication, and adaptability. Those same qualities now live at the center of my therapeutic practice. In my free time, you'll most likely find me soaking up the Colorado sun with family and friends, hiking, skiing, traveling, or simply following wherever curiosity leads

I believe our world can be so fast-paced and suffers from a lack of presence. This can result in isolation, not feeling heard, or feelings of overwhelm and stress. If you need a place to set your burdens down for a moment, I am able to give you that support. I feel equipped to help you if you are struggling with any trauma, grief, attachment wounds, neurodiversity, career guidance, anxiety/depression, or men's/women's/general identity challenges. If you are feeling burdened or hurt, you are not alone. I encourage you to reach out to me. Even if we are not a good fit, I enjoy helping you to find a therapist who is!
