Anxiety doesn’t have to define your life. At my office, I offer a supportive space where your unique journey is heard and valued. From the moment you walk in, you’ll find a warm and welcoming environment that helps ease your mind and allows you to feel safe as we start the healing process.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of work in Denver Tech Center or struggling with anxiety in your personal life, we’ll begin wherever you are on your journey. Together, we’ll explore tailored strategies to manage your anxiety through mindfulness and effective coping techniques. Each step will focus on your personal strengths, guiding you toward a calmer, more balanced life.

“There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.” M. Scott Peck

In our therapy sessions, we will build coping skills to empower you in everyday life. Rather than offering generic advice, I guide you through specific techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation to ease physical tension or cognitive restructuring to help challenge anxious thoughts. Together, we’ll identify what triggers your anxiety—whether it’s social situations, work pressures, or daily responsibilities—and develop tools that make these triggers more manageable.

For instance, if social anxiety makes it difficult to engage in local events around Greenwood Village, we’ll explore coping techniques like grounding exercises and positive visualization to help you feel more in control and at ease in those situations.

My practice offers a welcoming environment where you can feel safe and supported while working to overcome anxiety. Together, we’ll develop strategies to help you face your challenges, from managing workplace stress to dealing with personal anxieties. Our work will focus on building coping skills that allow you to approach life with more peace and confidence.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it’s possible to manage it. In our sessions, we’ll focus on identifying early signs, practicing relaxation techniques, and encouraging positive thoughts. My goal is to help you shift from feeling burdened by anxiety to feeling empowered and resilient in the face of it.

Our sessions will focus on actionable strategies to reduce the impact of anxiety on your daily life. You’ll learn to manage time, set realistic goals, and incorporate stress-relieving activities into your routine. I’ll provide you with practical tools to help you achieve a more balanced, fulfilling lifestyle—even in the face of anxiety.

During our sessions, we’ll use a variety of techniques to help you manage anxiety and create lasting change in your life. Our work together may include:

• Identifying family history to better understand how anxiety may have been shaped by past experiences.
• Understanding patterns of fear so we can address the underlying causes of anxiety and break recurring cycles.
• Relaxation techniques to help you calm your mind and body when anxiety arises, promoting a sense of peace.
• Problem-solving techniques that empower you to tackle anxiety-inducing situations with confidence and clarity.
• Psychodynamic psychotherapy to explore the emotional roots of your anxiety, helping you gain deeper insight into your feelings and behaviors.
• Learning to self-affirm, so you can develop a positive inner dialogue and build emotional resilience.
