ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Castle Rock, CO

I have been in counseling for over 19 years. I love working with teens through adulthood clients.

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past thirty years. I have worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.

"I believe that clinical credentials are only part of the process of selecting a therapist. To that end, I offer a free fifteen-minute consultation to determine if I'm the right therapist for you."

Hello Women, Moms & Kids. Are you a woman struggling with overwhelm, life-work balance, going through divorce, dealing with anxiety or depression, or just not enjoying where you're at in life? Or do you have a child struggling with mental wellness? My goal is dedicated to empowering you and/or your child to become who you were meant to be. I specialize with women, kids, parents, and teen girls. I offer in person, virtual, and nature based wellness sessions. I have a masters in clinical psychology and have been practicing for over 25 years.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to identity and self-worth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and practical, with a focus on helping clients better understand their emotions, recognize patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts and experiences.

As a U.S. Army veteran and former Army behavioral health professional, I have a particular interest in working with veterans, service members, first responders, and individuals who have experienced high-stress environments. I also enjoy working with men around issues that can sometimes be difficult to discuss openly, including emotional expression, relationships, anger, shame, identity, performance pressure, and life purpose.

As a Mandarin-speaking Asian American therapist, I am especially interested in supporting Asian and Asian American clients navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics, intergenerational differences, identity, perfectionism, emotional expression, and the pressure to meet high personal or family standards.

My clinical background includes work in hospital-based behavioral health, intensive outpatient treatment, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use treatment, crisis assessment, and military behavioral health. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and other evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches based on each client's individual needs.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest, curious, and human. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you better understand yourself, build greater emotional flexibility, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful changes that extend beyond the therapy room.

Welcome! I have masters degrees in education and marriage and family therapy, and enjoy working with clients of all ages. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed addiction counselor in Colorado and would love to see if we are a good fit!

I have a heart to see breakthrough, healing, and freedom for my clients. I have 20+ years history of working with adolescents and adults with learning differences: neurodivergence, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning deficits. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with trauma, abuse, identity, and somatic issues.

I enjoy working with clients ages 16+, but most of my clients are 25-50. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and careers such as educators, engineers, nurses, students, stay at home parents and those between careers.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and hold a Master degree from Xavier University. You can expect a safe and comfortable environment as we dialogue to help you sort through emotions. We may delve into your past but we won't dwell there because your energy is needed in the present moment as you look within yourself to find peace and the power to be your true self.

PLEASE NOTE: I am licensed in CO/FL/TX but accept insurance only in CO/FL/TX. Self pay option is available at $95 for in person sessions and $60 for tele-health.

Like many of my clients, I struggled a lot and felt like life was harder then it should be. Having done the work of therapy myself, I am now a licensed professional counselor. Before entering private practice, I spent thousands of hours in various different practices working with clients that struggled with depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with men, women, teens and adults (14-45). I've found that undiagnosed neurodiverse clients and folks with traumatic family backgrounds are frequently attracted to me and so I've been putting more emphasis on study and research in these areas.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.

Often, our feelings of shame, hurt and fear rob us of the opportunity to experience true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Do you find yourself running from these feelings or always fighting against them? Instead, I can help you embrace them and work through them. It is through this process of transformation where you learn to find acceptance, meaning

and purpose in your life. This leads to living with self-authenticity, and this is when you experience true joy and fulfillment. I look forward to being your catalyst for change. Together, we will take this journey and progress at your own pace. I encourage you to take the first step and make an appointment. Your life is worth it!

I believe therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I work to create a warm and supportive space where clients can be themselves without judgment and feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel supported while also being gently challenged to move toward the life they want.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State College of Denver and my Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2014, with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a variety of personal and emotional challenges. My professional background has allowed me to work with individuals and families while developing individualized treatment approaches based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and significant life transitions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults and understand that each person’s experiences and needs are unique. I take a person-centered approach grounded in empathy, connection, and collaboration. I am trained in EMDR and may incorporate EMDR and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

Most importantly, I want my clients to know that they do not have to navigate difficult seasons alone. My goal is to meet you where you are, understand what matters to you, and work alongside you at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

I am a veteran with a tech background, and I have over 12 years of experience as a counselor. I went back to school in my 40's, so I bring a lifetime of practical experience to my work. I focus on getting to the heart of the matter with clients, while looking for perspective into what may have caused the problem, and tools for the future. We will meet in person most or all of the time - I find this to be more effective.
