Counseling and Neurofeedback for OCD in Denver, Colorado
(If these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and there are proven ways to help.)
Maybe you’ve been labeled “Type A,” “controlling,” or “anxious.” What others can’t see is the loop: intrusive thoughts spark anxiety, rituals bring brief relief, and uncertainty snaps back even tighter. Those rigid, ruminative thoughts likely started as a way to stay safe during hard seasons—your nervous system doing its job a little too well.
Therapy for OCD helps you step out of the loop. We’ll work together to reduce rituals, build tolerance for uncertainty, and reconnect with what matters—so your day isn’t dictated by “what ifs.” When you’re ready to work with the mind-body connection and add nervous system regulation into talk therapy, we offer neurofeedback and qEEG brain mapping to support attention, flexibility, and regulation at the brain level.
A Strength-Based Approach to OCD Therapy in Denver
You are not your thoughts. We’ll harness your courage and values while teaching skills that loosen OCD’s grip.
Gold-standard care—gradual, supported exposure to triggers while not performing rituals, so anxiety naturally decreases and confidence grows.
Address inflated responsibility, overestimation of threat, and the drive for certainty.
Make room for discomfort and choose values-based action instead of rituals.
Notice urges without acting; calm the body’s alarm system.
Reduce accommodation and build supportive boundaries at home.
Train more regulated brain activity to support attention, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation.
Non-invasive mapping that highlights over/under-activation patterns to personalize training targets.
Treatment is collaborative and tailored. You’ll leave sessions with concrete strategies to practice at home, plus accountability to help habits stick.
Our Denver team is composed of master’s-level, licensed clinicians (e.g., LPC, LPCC) trained in ERP, CBT/ACT for OCD, and brain-based treatments when appropriate. You’ll receive ethical, person-centered care with clear goals, stepwise home practice, and outcome monitoring.
Talk with a licensed clinician about symptoms, goals, and best-fit options (ERP-based counseling, neurofeedback, brain mapping—or a combined plan).
Work one-on-one with an OCD therapist in Denver to reduce rituals, increase tolerance for uncertainty, and reclaim time and energy.
We’ll monitor changes you can feel and see—less ritual time, fewer mental compulsions, more flexibility, and more space for what matters.

I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices. Whether we’re working with the nervous system, processing painful memories, or exploring patterns with curiosity, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported, present, and empowered to grow. I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing. Outside the office, you’ll often find me climbing, fly fishing, running trails, foraging, or relaxing in the grass under the aspens. My love for movement, play, and nature continually inspires how I show up with clients.
I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.
