Therapists in Englewood, CO
Finding the right therapist for you often means considering your needs and looking for practitioners whose expertise aligns with them. Therapists often specialize in specific treatments or conditions, and ensuring their specialization aligns with your primary concern is often worthwhile. For example, if you’re experiencing overwhelming stress and feelings of anxiety, it may be helpful to find a therapist with an extensive history of treating anxiety disorders. Similarly, if you’re experiencing sexual issues, finding a professional who is trained in sex therapy will likely be beneficial.
Mental health professionals may be able to help you conquer difficult challenges, overcome painful experiences, and make meaningful progress toward personal goals. Most professionals strive to provide therapy in an understanding environment that prioritizes you and your life experiences. Therapy is commonly considered to be most effective when a practitioner and client apply collaborative effort to make progress. Because of this, many therapists utilize a holistic approach that considers the client’s needs and preferences for how therapy should be conducted.
Many therapists prefer to use therapeutic techniques that prioritize the future rather than dissecting the past, such as solution-focused therapy, which focuses solely on potential solutions to a problem rather than its cause. Future-focused approaches are based on the belief that a client’s stability stems from their knowledge of their life and the resources at their disposal.
If you have experienced a significant loss, you can also see a therapist for grief counseling and related services. A therapist can also help you manage and improve significant relationships, such as those with romantic partners or family. No matter your need, your therapist will likely approach your concern with the gravity it deserves, making recommendations based on evidence-based practices that are known to be effective.

I’ve practiced counseling in various settings for over 23 years, and I’ve had significant success with my clients. I strive to create an environment of trust, safety, and total acceptance, and I use an approach that does not seek to judge, heal, or even change. The goal is to bring my clients to a more realistic view of themselves, others, and the world based on rational, objective evaluations. I believe that as humans our beliefs, feelings, and actions are influenced by three separate perspectives. The illness or pathology perspective looks at things as healthy or unhealthy, well or ill. Within the moral or religious perspective, we view and even judge ourselves, others, and the world as good or bad, righteous or sinful. These two perspectives can lead individuals into thinking they are abnormal, mentally defective, immoral, or sinful and can result in feelings of shame, guilt, doubt, helplessness, and despair. And who wants that?? If, however, we understand that all of our behaviors are attempts to survive psychologically—in much the same ways that we try to survive physically—and if we are able to objectively rather than judgmentally evaluate these behaviors, we can bypass those unwanted emotional byproducts of the illness and moral perspectives and begin the real work of understanding and accepting ourselves using more realistic criteria. Think of psychological survival not in terms of life or death, but in terms of success, fulfillment, and integrity—defined by you alone. As we attempt to survive psychologically, we utilize all parts of our psyche, and some parts may not be pretty or pleasant. However, these might be the very parts of us we need to emerge from the shadows, “to pop up and rescue us from ourselves”. One of my favorite quotes states it quite eloquently: “Every one of us has a thousand different kinds of little people inside of us. And some of them want to get out and be wild, and some want to be sad, or happy, or inventive, or even just go dancing! That’s why we all have so many different urges at different times. And all those different little people inside of us…we must never be afraid to take them with us wherever we go. I mean, who knows when we might need one of them to pop up and rescue us from ourselves! The great secret is not the variety of life, it’s the variety of us.” ~Lwaxana Troi (portrayed by Majel Barrett in Star Trek: TNG)

You know that person you always see nuzzled up with their favorite book in the corner of the local coffee shop sipping on a latte? That’s me. I’m the type of person who loves simplicity. I thrive off spending time with my husband and two kids. I love having game nights with friends and laughing till my cheeks hurt, studying the Bible, working out until my body feels like mush, and taking road trips to new places. This is me. What you see is what you get. Let’s be real though, life doesn’t always look like butterflies and rainbows. In fact, it can feel like an absolute beating. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing this is one of your “sometimes.” Stress, depression, emptiness, anxiety, and self-judgment are constantly knocking at our doors. It’s the worst, but the good news is it doesn’t have to stay that way. For as long as I can remember, my greatest passion in life has been to help people overcome the lows life presents. I absolutely love helping people. It's not what I do, it's who I am. My goal is to listen and equip you, so you can keep climbing higher in this journey called life. I'd love to chat if you're ready to get out of a valley in your life.
