As a Black, queer, lesbian, disabled veteran and aging practitioner, I bring lived experience and clinical care to create a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where clients can reflect on their life experiences, share their stories, uncover meaning, and build practical skills to cope and live with intention.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting older adults, family caregivers, veterans, and individuals within LGBTQIA2S+ communities. As a Black, queer, lesbian, disabled veteran, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to my work. I often support clients navigating life transitions, caregiving stress, trauma, identity concerns, grief, and the emotional weight of long-held experiences.
I earned my Doctorate of Social Work from Tulane University. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, grounded in respect for lived experience. I integrate reflection, meaning-making, and practical coping skills to help clients process trauma, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen self-trust.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying a lot for a long time. You do not have to have everything figured out. If you are seeking a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space to reflect, heal, and move forward at your own pace, I would be honored to support you.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Littleton, CO usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Littleton, CO offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
If this was a perfect world there would be no need for family counselors and family therapists. But alas, the world is flawed and so are families and their dynamics. Most homes experience some degree of hurt and upset over the years, but these are usually things the family can get over on their own. Sadly, not all problems go away by themselves. Depending on the issues and those dealing with them, difficulties can sometimes grow over time and become worse.
For example, sibling rivalry is normal but persistent signs of aggression and hate between the kids are anything but normal. There are times when parents lose control too and become a part of the problem instead of the solution. When continual upheaval disrupts the harmony in a home it’s a good time to seek the services of a family counselor or family therapist. The licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) and other family relationship experts at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO can address everything from the most acute issues to the most subtle. Reach out today for help.
No one can tell a family when they need therapy. This is something that they and they alone must decide on. Good questions to ask yourself are these: Have we exhausted all of our attempts to solve an issue? Have we failed to make any progress without outside, professional support? If the answer is yes and the situations are getting worse–or at least not improving–then you might want to explore the benefits of family counseling. A qualified counsellor can help families cope with issues like:
