EMDR therapy

Welcome to Active Change Therapy, where I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR therapy). This evidence-based treatment is designed to assist in healing from traumatic experiences by integrating distressing memories through guided eye movements. Situated in Cherry Creek, Denver, I offer a professional and supportive environment for clients dealing with PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions. Additionally, I provide telehealth options to ensure that quality care is accessible all clients.

 

EMDR can help with trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, and negative self-beliefs. See what it treats, how it works, and what sessions look like.

Gender Therapy for Adults

At Active Change Therapy, I provide supportive, affirming therapy for transgender and gender-diverse individuals exploring their gender identity, expression, and transition-related needs. My practice is located in Cherry Creek in Denver, Colorado, and I also offer telehealth for clients who prefer not to attend in person.

Support with gender identity and expression, coming out, social or medical transition, relationships, and self-acceptance, in person in Denver or by telehealth.

Positive Psychology and Strengths Based Therapy Approach

Positive Psychology and Strengths-Based Therapy

At Active Change Therapy, I use a positive psychology and strengths-basedperspective to help clients build on what is already present within them. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, problems, or what feels wrong, this approach also looks at resilience, values, strengths, supportive relationships, and the capacities that can help you move forward.

A strengths-based approach that builds on your resilience, values, and relationships to support well-being, meaning, and lasting change.
