As a therapist with a disability, I know firsthand what it feels like to move through a world that isn’t adapted to you. Healing begins when we change how we meet our challenges by learning to work with every part of who we are instead of resisting it. It’s our strengths and vulnerabilities together that make us who we are.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Treatment Victim Advocate with 4 years of experience supporting adults and older teens. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity challenges and simply want to feel better, however that looks like for them. My approach is grounded in meeting you where you are, offering a mix of empathy, real talk, and humor when it fits. While we can’t always control what happens around us, we can learn to cope, connect, and feel more in charge of our story.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver. My style is collaborative and trauma-informed, focusing on validation, emotional regulation, and practical coping tools. I also have extensive experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and individuals with disabilities as they rebuild confidence and rediscover their own voice.
Life can be messy, and healing isn’t about pretending it’s not. Therapy is your space to unpack what’s been weighing you down and find clarity in the chaos. You don’t have to go through it alone, and if you’re ready to start exploring your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

We’re not going to beat around the bush: Depression isn’t fun. It can actually be really difficult to understand and manage. This mental disorder is characterized by feelings of despair and a lack of interest in day to day activities. Troubling symptoms can accompany it, including feelings of hopelessness, changes in appetite, trouble sleeping, suicidal thoughts, and more. And according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 300 million people around the world and 17.3 million in the US struggle with this illness every year.
Are you presenting symptoms of depression, such as those mentioned above? Say, you feel unhappy, you’re uninterested in activities you used to enjoy, and you’re exhibiting physical symptoms too like significant weight loss or gain. If this is you (or similar to what you are experiencing), we have good news: you can get the help you need to work through your depression. Depression is a highly treatable mental illness, and one effective method is therapy.
If you think that you might be depressed, consider working with a therapist who specialized in helping clients with depression. Thriveworks Centennial has depression therapists on staff who can help you to properly deal with this illness and the harmful symptoms that come with it. They have the skills, training, and caring nature to help you find success in the therapeutic process. If or when you’re ready to schedule an appointment, just give us a call at (720) 808-5099.

Depression is a broad term for a group of disorders. While major depression is the most common, there are other types of depression including minor depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), postpartum depression, and others. But for now, we’ll focus on major depression. In addition to despair and a lack of interest, people with major depression often experience…
Any given individual with depression will experience a combination of the above symptoms, and at least five nearly every day for two weeks or longer. These symptoms are so severe that they have a major impact on important areas of the individual’s life.
As we’ve mentioned previously, the symptoms that one experiences can differ. For this reason, depression therapy can also vary from person to person. If you choose to work with a depression therapist at Thriveworks Centennial, they will first work to understand what you need and want out of therapy. Then, they will create an individualized treatment plan just for you.
Your plan will likely include regular (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) sessions with your therapist or counselor. During these therapy sessions, you’ll talk to your Thriveworks Centennial therapist about your symptoms, work with them to understand potential causes of your depression, and ultimately pave the way for a better life.
