Individual Therapy
“Let everything happen to you; beauty and terror
Just keep going; no feeling is final”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Individual Therapy
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Denver, Colorado, I work with individuals 18 and up who are ready to dive deeper into their inner worlds and confront the complexities of their emotional and psychological experiences. In our work together, we won't just focus on managing symptoms with quick fixes or surface-level coping skills. Instead, I aim to help you explore the deeper, often uncomfortable areas of your subconscious that drive your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges of existential anxiety and dread, depression, OCD, and relationship difficulties. My approach is rooted in the belief that lasting change comes from understanding and confronting the root causes of distress, not just masking them. Together, we’ll push beyond traditional techniques, inviting deeper reflection, self-awareness, and the courage to engage with difficult truths. If you’re ready to move past superficial solutions and embrace meaningful growth, I’d love to help you explore what’s holding you back and guide you toward a fuller, more authentic life.
Types of Therapy Practiced
Transpersonal Therapy
Transpersonal Therapy is a therapeutic approach that goes beyond traditional psychological frameworks by integrating the spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience. Rooted in the belief that personal growth and healing can occur when we connect with a deeper sense of self, Transpersonal Therapy invites clients to explore their consciousness, emotions, and life experiences through a holistic lens. This approach draws on mindfulness, meditation, and other spiritual practices to help individuals achieve greater self-awareness, meaning, and connection. By addressing not only mental and emotional issues but also the spiritual dimensions of well-being, Transpersonal Therapy encourages profound healing and personal transformation, guiding clients toward a more integrated, authentic life.
Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals quickly uncover and address deep-seated emotional patterns and unconscious conflicts. Unlike traditional therapy, ISTDP focuses on accelerating emotional processing to create lasting change in a short amount of time. By exploring unresolved emotional experiences, clients work through repressed feelings, unresolved trauma, and maladaptive patterns, often uncovering insights that lead to profound healing. This approach encourages clients to engage deeply with their emotions, break free from old defenses, and experience more genuine emotional freedom.
Mindfulness Counseling
Mindfulness Counseling is an approach that integrates mindfulness practices with traditional therapeutic techniques to help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness, emotional balance, and clarity. Through mindfulness, clients learn to observe their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgment, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotional patterns. This practice encourages self-compassion and helps individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges by grounding them in the present rather than getting caught in past regrets or future worries. In mindfulness counseling, the goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to develop a greater sense of inner peace, resilience, and emotional well-being, ultimately promoting a more centered and fulfilling life.
