Online, across Colorado
Women's Therapy in Colorado
You're allowed to have needs.
I offer online therapy for women across Colorado, including Denver and Aurora. Many of the women I work with were handed a script early on: give to your family, give to everyone else, and don't expect much in return.
We can talk about where that script came from, what it costs you, and what you'd like to do differently.
I also work with teen girls. If you're the parent of one, you're welcome to reach out.
Maybe this sounds familiar
- You're the one everyone relies on, and you're not sure who's looking out for you. you count too
- You say yes first and work out the cost later.
- Setting a boundary comes with a long explanation, and guilt anyway.
- Feeling underappreciated at home, at work, or both.
- Being told you're difficult, too sensitive, or too much.
- Staying with people or in places longer than was good for you.
- Wanting a different path and having no one to talk to about it. that's allowed
- You're raising a teen girl, and you want her to know she's allowed to have needs too.
None of this means something is wrong with you. A lot of it is what happens when you learn early that your needs come last.
What we do with it
We talk about all of it.
Family, culture, work, and the expectations that come with each. Culture can be a hard topic to bring up, and it's welcome here.
We look at the script.
What you were taught about what a good daughter, partner, friend, or employee does. What it has cost you, and what you'd like to keep. That part is yours to decide.
We practice asking for what you need.
Including the boundary you've rehearsed in the shower, and the permission to have needs in the first place. I draw on CBT and use regulation tools, so there's something to reach for when the guilt shows up.
We check the plan together.
We set goals together and review them as life changes. If something isn't working, tell me and we'll adjust. There will also be some laughing.
It rarely stops at one thing
Family, culture, burnout, and years of holding it together tend to show up in the same life. Depending on what's going on for you, these pages might be worth a look:

Women are often missed, misread, or told they're difficult.
Trauma Therapy
When staying quiet to keep the peace has left a mark.
Anxiety & Depression Therapy
The bracing, the burnout, and the heavy days.
Questions people ask
Do I need a diagnosis or a big reason to come?
No. Many people come because something feels off, or because they're tired of putting everyone else first. We start with what you're experiencing. If you'd like an assessment, I can connect you with providers who offer them.
Do you work with teen girls?
Yes. I work with teen girls ages 13 to 17 as well as women. If you're a parent or guardian, you can reach out first. Send me a message, and I'll arrange a free 15-minute consultation call.
I don't want to talk badly about my family. Is that okay?
You don't have to. You can respect where you come from and still have needs of your own. We go at your pace, and we're not trying to make you choose between the two.
Can we talk about race and culture?
Yes. They're part of your life, so they're part of the conversation, whenever you're ready.
Are sessions online?
Yes, online only, for teens and adults who live in Colorado. You join from your own space.
I'm in-network with Aetna, Cigna Healthcare, SelectHealth, UnitedHealthcare, and other plans. Colorado Access is the only Medicaid plan I accept. Insurance & Payment
Tell me what you'd like to change
A few sentences is plenty. Tell me what's been weighing on you and what you'd like to be different, and mention your insurance if you have it. If you're a parent, tell me a little about your teen.
