Ginger sees therapy as a pathway to living your best life. As you work collaboratively with Ginger, you'll increase your awareness of unconscious behavior patterns, often developed early on as a way to cope. You'll then be free to transform the life you're living into the life you've always hoped for. Ginger's goals are to help clients resolve past generational issues, emotional turmoil, and life stressors in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way. Ginger has been working as a psychotherapist for 27 years. She got her Master's degree in counseling psychology from Lesley University then went on to attend the Denver Psychoanalytic Institute. Her therapeutic style includes Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, mindfulness, psychoanalytic-oriented therapy, and some cognitive therapy. Her approach is eclectic and based on the individual's needs.

I earned my B.A. in psychology from Winthrop University and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. As a clinical intern, I take a deeply relational approach to therapy, grounded in cultural awareness, developmental understanding, and a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are. I believe that people grow through connections, and I work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, authentic, and genuinely supportive. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults as they navigate identity development, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, attuned space where clients can explore their experiences, make meaning of their stories, and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy watching movies, playing outdoor club soccer, and practicing the clarinet to help me stay grounded, creative, and balanced.

Do you feel isolated or unseen? Are your thoughts and emotions overwhelming? Are you experiencing struggles in relationships? Do you feel that you need to talk to someone about your experiences or feelings? I am here to help. One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help. Needing help does not make you weak, it makes you human. It is my goal as a therapist to provide a safe environment to help in the exploration, processing, and solution-finding process. I am passionate about areas of Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Relationships, and Identity Development.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I provide a warm, authentic, and trauma-informed approach to therapy that focuses on women’s health, empowerment, and overall wellness. My passion for supporting women began early—through mentoring middle school girls, working with nonprofits dedicated to women’s social justice, and later training to provide mental health services to survivors of interpersonal violence. For the past 12 years, I have remained deeply committed to helping women of all ages navigate life’s challenges and pursue growth and healing. I specialize in supporting women and women-identified individuals through experiences such as managing social media pressures, coping with fertility issues, adjusting to motherhood, navigating the aging process, healing from interpersonal violence, and cultivating self-compassion while balancing multiple roles. My goal is to help clients thrive by fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including community mental health clinics and hospital systems. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. My priority is to create a safe, inclusive space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. Outside of my professional work, I value connection, humor, and activities that ground and recharge me. I find joy in good food, laughter, time in nature, and quality moments with family and friends. These experiences remind me of the importance of presence, play, and balance—values I often integrate into my work with clients.

When you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, grief, and pain, you need a safe, supportive space to begin your journey towards understanding and healing. Therapy is a space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your life experiences, patterns of thinking, and actions. It can help you create the opportunity to promote personal change and growth. It may feel daunting at first, but as a therapist, I am here to walk next to you and help you navigate your healing journey. Therapy is not “one size fits all”. We will collaborate in partnership to identify your strengths and needs and choose the best approach for you. In therapy, I choose to listen deeply, show up authentically, and give empathy freely. Choosing a therapist can be a stressful decision. I have experience working with people ages 20-65+ who are learning to navigate things like trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I utilize a holistic approach that considers every aspect of who you are as an individual because your mental health is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up who you are. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. You deserve safety, peace, and kindness. I cannot wait to hear your story.

“I’m so overwhelmed” …“I don’t know how to maintain my friendships or relationships”…“I don’t know how to accept life’s changes” If these statements sound familiar to you, I’m here to help. Choosing to attend therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s one you’re not taking alone. You are the expert in your life, and I’m here to help you find the best tools you have to face them. I come from a courage and strengths-based perspective while focusing on understanding you and your challenges. I am welcoming and affirming of all identities, and any identity exploration. My goal is to help create an environment where you can be yourself, and to support you with an individualized approach to help better prepare you for both what you’re facing now and whatever tomorrow might bring. If you’re ready to start your therapy journey, please reach out to me via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you.

As your therapist, I take a holistic, integrated approach to mental health that is client-centered, collaborative, and affirming. I am passionate about supporting healing through a stronger connection to the self, others, and the environment, all while honoring each client’s unique identity, strengths, and lived experience. In our work together, you’ll undergo true transformation in a setting that fosters growth, trust, and connection, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet you where you are. This collaborative style allows us to adapt each session to align with your personal goals, values, and life events. Outside the office, I love exploring all that Colorado’s great outdoors has to offer alongside my dog, Moose. Hiking, skiing, fly fishing, wildlife watching – I enjoy it all, as well as indoor activities like cooking, journaling, music, and reading. This mix of creative activities helps me stay grounded, recharge, and maintain a sense of joy and balance in my daily life.

Feeling behind or disconnected, even though you’ve done everything “right,” can be overwhelming and lonely. Maybe you’ve thought, “Why can’t I just get over this?” or “I should be stronger by now.” I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as those dealing with perfectionism, self-worth, and body image concerns. Together, we’ll slow down and create a safe space where you feel seen and supported as you explore what’s been holding you back. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I’m passionate about helping you reconnect with your most authentic self. Using a collaborative approach grounded in narrative therapy and CBT, we’ll explore the stories and inner critics that shape how you see yourself and work to rewrite them in ways that foster self-trust, confidence, and hope. If you’re ready to make a meaningful change but aren’t sure where to start, feel free to reach out so we can see if we’re a good fit. I’m here to help you carry the weight and find a way forward that feels right for you.

In our time together, you are assured safe, affirming, and trauma-informed care that helps you feel heard. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and culturally responsive interventions into treatment to support you in achieving your goals and living life on your terms. My passion for providing exceptional therapeutic care began by witnessing the mental health challenges present in my own community. This firsthand experience drives me in my practice now, where I ensure culturally responsive, empathic care to every session. When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with friends and gaming. You’ll also often find me reading a good book or watching the latest TV series.

“I have no sense of direction.” “I feel like my feelings are a burden to others.” “I am overwhelmed by the changes occurring in my life.” I hear you. Distress often arises when we are unable to show up authentically or cope with change. Therapy can empower you to be present in the most important areas of life. I specialize in anxiety & depression, relationships, and grief. Therapy is an act of collaboration through which we can meet your needs and achieve your goals. I employ a person-centered and psychodynamic approach to deepen your understanding, as well as ACT to emphasize your strengths.

Feel free to reach out to me via email, I look forward to hearing from you!

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. Our work will focus on reclaiming your personal power and growing your capacity to create change in your life. One of my guiding beliefs as a therapist is that you already possess the strength, ability, and innate qualities needed to evolve; I am here to help identify and remove the obstacles standing in your way. In therapy, we create a space to discover realistic solutions to problematic patterns and learn coping skills that produce lasting change to create your best life. My desire as your therapist is to offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to show up as your authentic self. I use an evidence-based therapeutic approach to construct healthy solutions to life concerns. I have strong strategies for managing Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, work-life balance, and goal completion. I have had the privilege of working in a variety of social work settings within the last decade. I have a wealth of experience working with children and families, behind the walls of a jail with those struggling with their life circumstances and severe hopelessness, and people with intellectual and physical disabilities.

I have a wide range of experience working with individuals, couples and teenagers. I have a solid understanding of various therapeutic approaches and techniques that can be tailored to your specific needs. I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy, acknowledging the interconnectedness of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. By considering all aspects of your life, we can work together to develop strategies that promote overall health and happiness. Therapy is not just about addressing current difficulties; it is also focused on personal growth and healing. I can help you identify patterns, uncover underlying issues, and develop coping strategies, leading to lasting positive change in your relationships.

Is pain from your past or worries about the future making it hard to enjoy the present? Do you want to have more fulfilling relationships with others? Hi there, my name is Meg, and I am happy you found my page! My goal is to guide you in rediscovering and accepting all the parts of what makes you, you. We achieve this together through compassionate care that helps you build confidence, find your voice, and figure out what really matters to you, whether that’s in your relationships, in your work, or how you spend your time. I also help you recognize patterns you’ve been stuck in, habits that don’t serve you anymore, or ways of being that might have been passed down through family, so you can break free from those cycles. I welcome you to my therapeutic space and am excited to get to know you! My therapeutic approach creates a space where you can share your stories while feeling truly heard and understood. Together, we look at what’s working in your life and what isn’t, then figure out how to make changes that feel true to who you actually are. Part of that often means learning to let go of and/or say no to things that drain you, and yes to things that feel meaningful. In this supportive space, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in each of my sessions. I further tailor care to focus on skill building through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), explore patterns of behavior/change through Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma processing with Internal Family Systems (IFS), and build tolerance with anxiety-provoking situations through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as needed. Aside from building the tools to navigate symptoms and experiences related to mental health diagnoses, my ultimate goal is for you to feel realigned to your authentic self, to feel powerful and confident, and to find meaning in your life. Mental health wasn’t something that was prioritized or openly talked about in my family, so it wasn’t until early adulthood that I first began learning about therapy as a volunteer with AmeriCorps. My own experience in therapy eventually inspired me to become a therapist, and I’m deeply grateful for everything that journey has taught me and the ways it has given back to my life. Outside the office, you might find me wandering around a local thrift store, playing with my cat Phil, watching Survivor with my husband, drinking coffee and walking through the Botanic gardens, crocheting, or enjoying other crafty activities that help keep me balanced.
