Hello! I am a Family Therapist & Therapeutic Educational Consultant specializing in healing from relationship difficulties and traumatic events. I work alongside my clients closely through the therapeutic journey to assist the self-advocacy, compassion, and patience necessary for efficacy of treatment goals over time. Using a foundation of neuropsychology and systems theories, I tailor my counseling for each client/family from body-based practices, internal parts work, and reprocessing modalities. With an emphasis on best practice and informed sensitive care, I skillfully guide the process of deep change and long lasting transformation.

I assume serious intent to address whatever brought the patient to my office in the first place. It is my hope to form the most positive therapeutic alliance possible. The first step is to acknowledge the courage it took to make the call. I have been practicing as a licensed Clinical Psychologist for thirty years. I have also served as a faculty member at the University of Colorado Boulder for over twenty years. I mostly see chronic depressed and anxious patients I .have worked across the spectrum from imminently suicidial to the broader existential issues concerning a more meaningful life.

Adolescence and early adulthood holds a special place in my heart, because it is such ripe ground for discovery, yet many young people get stuck along the journey. I have worked with young people for over 10 years, who have struggled with social-anxiety and shyness, addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss issues, trauma, school issues, and complex family issues. While all of these can be horrific for the individual and families involved, the underlying resiliency present in each of these young people and families is the foundation that we build from in the healing process.

I am a Life and Career Coach in Boulder, CO. My practice is solutions-focused and founded on the principles of Positive Psychology, the scientific study of how people flourish - what makes them happy and successful and how to fill their lives with purpose, meaning, and peace. I help my clients find more meaning and pleasure in their work and personal life, navigate challenging transitions, find more meaningful work via a career change, increase their impact at work, and achieve a better work/life balance. Together, we'll create new levels of awareness of your untapped knowledge, strengths, and resources to spark positive change.

Here at Whole Connection, we believe that a healing relationship is the most important part of therapy. This connection allows each client to safely explore and create the changes and healing they are striving for. Our therapists support clients working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, identity exploration, and a variety of other challenges that can arise in everyday life. We often work individually or in a group setting to help our clients build the skills they need to work through and remain resilient through difficult times.

Feeling challenged by complicated relationship or family issues? Overwhelmed by work, school, or finances? Struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse or self-defeating behaviors? I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with a track record of helping people overcome these types of issues. My philosophy is that people are highly motivated to change the patterns of thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that are holding them back. As your therapist, I help you change your relationship your current problems, so that you can more effectively move forward with your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. I work with a variety of issues affecting adolescents and adults. I have a particular speciality in helping girls and women who are having difficulties adjusting to major life changes. My areas of expertise include eating disorders, relationship issues, and social and school adjustment.

We are living in a time of uncertainty, and for many, fear is a part of our every day lives. The healing and answers we seek go beyond band-aid approaches or comforting words. To heal our wounds, and live with the realities of life's unpredictability, we need all of us. And you need all of you, together, and whole. As you access a visceral awareness of your body and listen to your intuitive heart, your healing begins. Tapping into your mind’s creativity to unearth internal wisdom and external resources, all your parts together can mend traumatic injuries and weave together a new path.

I believe that life can be difficult sometimes. We are not given a manual on navigating the complex tasks of life like raising children, managing job stress, or learning how to have a fulfilling relationship. I see counseling as a process where we can explore life's more pressing questions and address ways to create change. As a therapist, you will find I value being real and transparent so that our work together is honest, timely, and impactful.

I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, sadness, depression, loss and life transitions. I am trauma informed and trained.

My approach to inner work values and explores the spiritual, difficult, and unfound aspects of our human experience. We also have pragmatic, rational and goal-directed behaviors that often require refining, we can address all aspects of you together. Mi enfoque del trabajo interno acepta y valora los aspectos espirituales, difíciles y sin fundamento de nuestra experiencia humana. También tenemos comportamientos y necesidades pragmáticos, racionales y dirigidos a objetivos que a menudo requieren refinamiento, podemos abordar todos los aspectos de usted juntos.

Welcome! You can live the life you want! Therapy is not about living a stress-free life, but rather learning how to navigate your stress with confidence and skill. Together we will uncover what is holding you back and move in the direction of your happiness and goals. Are you challenged by a life transition? Feeling stuck in recurring patterns? Realizing you aren't living up to your potential, but unsure how to create lasting, positive change? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, unclear about what to do next or how to handle a situation? Please call and let me help.

There are no right or wrong motivations for seeking therapy. Whatever it is that provoked you to begin your search for a therapist can be addressed and healed with someone who is the right fit. I work with clients who are looking to strengthen trust in themselves. My overarching goal for every client who comes to see me is for them to have a more loving, compassionate relationship to themselves, others, and their past. I believe in the creative and transformative potential of every person and work with a style that honors everyone's unique strengths.

You want someone who gets you, who can put words to things you’ve been feeling, who will accept you as you are without judgment, and yet hold you accountable to your higher self, your greater good. You want to feel okay again. Safe. You want to thrive!

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

There are many reasons why you might be here. You may be encountering challenging relationship dynamics or even feel like you lose yourself in relationships. You might be struggling with alcohol, drugs, or a compulsive behavior--maybe you're able to cut back or even stop for awhile but then find yourself returning to old habits. You may be supporting someone else through their addiction. You could be feeling hopeless, worthless, fed up, or at the end of your rope. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know that it's possible to feel better, it's possible to change, and it's possible to live the life you wish you were living.

I believe that often the suffering that people describe is born from an unwillingness to be present in the moment or to experience the truth of their experience. The truth can make us feel anxious all of the time, make our moods difficult to tolerate, or make us feel uncomfortable during everyday life circumstances.

So often, we find ourselves in a perpetual loop of: if I am not feeling okay, I am not okay in general. Unfortunately this loop does not serve us. We are humans. We are going to experience the pains of life and I can promise that I am not going to be the one taking those pains away. However, I will provide you skills and interventions that can aid in changing the relationship to those pains.

I specialize in women's issues, trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, aging, and life transitions of all stripes. I believe that each of us has the capacity to live in more centered, nurtured, and meaningful ways, and that we have a right to self-actualization. We seek therapy when we are on the verge of change: something's not working, but oftentimes we lack clarity about what comes next. I offer directness, humor, insight, and alliance as we explore what it is you truly want out of life.
