About
I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel understood and supported, and where we can work together to turn insight into practical, meaningful change in your daily life.
I am a licensed psychologist (Ph.D.) with 9 years of experience providing therapy to adults and couples. I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. Many of the clients I work with are seeking a deeper understanding of their thoughts and behavior patterns so they can create meaningful, lasting change. I help them clarify their values and take practical, actionable steps toward becoming who they want to be.
I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have specialized experience in adult individual and couples therapy. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, while integrating humanistic, values-based approaches.
You deserve a fulfilling life, and I am here to help you move toward it. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by self-doubt, we can work together to build insight, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and create forward momentum. When you are ready, I invite you to schedule a session and begin the process of meaningful change.

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.
Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.
Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Westminster, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.
Loneliness is difficult to cope with. It is sometimes caused by social isolation – being physically separate from those around you – but often occurs even when a person has people around. It can be a devastating feeling that leads to physical aches and pains, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. It can lead to insomnia, sleeping too much, or changes in appetite. Thankfully there are steps to take.
One of the first things a person who’s feeling lonely can do is to accept that they’re feeling lonely. It can be difficult to make this admission. Sometimes it feels ridiculous because there are plenty of people around, or there are many things a person is grateful for in their life. They feel that they shouldn’t feel lonely. But they do.
Fortunately, a therapist can help the person throughout this process and make personal recommendations for their unique situation. Reach out to Thriveworks if you’d like to schedule loneliness counseling today.
There are many ways to acknowledge loneliness. A person might write in a diary, write a letter to a friend, paint a picture, write a song, or talk about it directly with their counselor. When the feelings are expressed discoveries can begin and a person can find out what is connected to their loneliness, whether it’s anger, frustration, sadness, or another emotion.
Put simply, that means that it’s a feeling that is likely to continue until something is done about it. It is not something that needs to be maintained – it will simply stick around. One way to do that is to become more active. Get together with friends or family members, write letters, call people on the telephone, or send an email.
While it’s good to reach out and re-build up relationships that have been in their lives, people can also establish new ones by getting involved in activities or clubs in the area. Some people don’t feel ready to do this but often find if they push through their fear that they start feeling better much quicker.
For other people, some work needs to be done before they can put themselves out there in the community. At Thriveworks Westminster Counseling & Coaching we can help assess your specific needs and find you the help you need. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances. In addition, we can often get new clients in within the same week of scheduling.
