Do I need therapy?

If you’re asking yourself this question, it’s a good sign you’re ready to explore support. People often seek therapy when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure how to navigate a life challenge. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit—therapy can help you build emotional insight, improve relationships, manage stress, and feel more grounded.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, teen challenges, parenting stress, relationship shifts, or just feeling off, therapy provides a safe space to talk things through and gain clarity. In my Denver area counseling practice, I work with teens and adults to help them feel more in control of their emotions and more confident in their lives.
