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.

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.

“Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone. I understand how hard it can be to ask for help. I believe that having someone in your corner to both validate and challenge you is essential to personal growth. Self-discovery is possible—piecing together the mosaic of your life to serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone.

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.

Does the possibility of your body changing bring waves of guilt, shame, or fear? Are your personal standards so high that even simple tasks feel impossible? Are you constantly self-critical or on edge, with a mind that never seems quiet? If this resonates, I’m here to support you. Do your thoughts about food, exercise, or your body feel overwhelming?

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.

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.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep curiosity about how people heal and grow. Over time, this passion evolved into a lifelong commitment to providing integrative, compassionate care. Now I am dedicated to bringing a bio-psycho-social lens to each session, honoring the complexity of every person’s story. I enjoy a wide range of hobbies outside the office to keep my mind and body active! These include watching movies and shows, reading, playing video games, practicing my photography skills, and crafting.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected? You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I work best with college and graduate students who are carrying a lot on their shoulders, even if it doesn’t always show on the outside. Many of the students I support are struggling with anxiety, stress, or burnout. They may be navigating big life transitions like starting college, transferring, or getting close to graduation. Some are dealing with family stress, relationship challenges, or attachment issues. Others are carrying the impact of past trauma or loss. Many feel disconnected from themselves and unsure of who they are or what direction they want to take. You might look high-functioning on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or numb on the inside. You may be the one everyone depends on, yet you rarely feel supported yourself. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. My approach is warm, grounded, and trauma-informed. That means we go at your pace, focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, and work on real-life tools you can actually use between sessions. You do not need to have the right words or a clear goal before starting. Showing up as you are is enough. If you are a student who wants to feel more steady, more connected, and more like yourself again, I would love to support you.

My approach to this work is open, honest, and transparent. I will work collaboratively with you to create a safe and trusting space so that you can feel heard, supported and understood in a way that encourages you to process your experiences at your own pace. This is your journey and you deserve to feel empowered and confident in the now, AND as you embark on your future. Being a young person in this world is tough enough and having space to process your world view and navigating a new level of independence can be challenging. You deserve to focus on your mental health and I would be honored to support you along your journey. I offer free 20-minute consultations, so please do not hesitate to reach out, no commitment necessary just an informal chat to see if we would be a good fit. Here is one of my favorite quotes: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ― Carl Gustav Jung I'd love to support you in discovering your true identity and finding your voice in this world!
