Therapists in Boulder, CO

As a humanistic licensed professional counselor, I envision my ideal client as an individual brimming with untapped potential, navigating the complex labyrinth of life's challenges. You may be an adult or an adolescent grappling with the nuances of ADHD, the shadows of depression, the restlessness of anxiety, or the echoes of past trauma. Perhaps you're seeking healing and growth, exploring pathways like EMDR or considering the transformative journey of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). Your needs are unique, your story, profound. You are seeking to chart a course toward a life that feels both authentic and fulfilling.

I work with adults, many of whom are dealing with anxiety, depression, transitions, trauma or just trying to cope with the world we live in. I am meeting with people in person, virtually, or some combination of both. My office is in South Boulder and when clients prefer to meet in person, we can either meet in my office or on the back deck (weather permitting). I am licensed in Colorado but also have the PsyPact license, which means that I can work with people from many other states.

Life isn’t always easy, inevitably, everything changes. Sometimes it’s the challenge of personal growth that we set for ourselves - who are we outside of work, family, and our busy lives?
