All of the ways that you have learned to be in the world are so wise. I honor them and believe in making space for those scared and vulnerable parts to exist, no matter how unacceptable, messy, or painful they may appear to be.

I have been in practice since 1988, dedicated to helping my patients to understand the causes of their problems and to regain mastery, control and well being in their lives. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, chronic illness and pain management. I also specialize in the diagnosis of cognitive problems and dementias associated with Alzheimer's Disease and other disorders. See my website at BoulderIntegrativePsychology.com for more information.

With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for people to uncover the obstacles that keep them from aliveness, connection, safety, intimacy, transformation, resiliency, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of life’s difficulties, access their innate wisdom, and gain skills to thrive and emerge into their full self. I am a queer, non-binary femme, psychotherapist, poet, and Tibetan Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

Overwhelmed with personal transition, self-identity, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression? I have worked in the counseling field for 30 years with both adults and adolescents coping with many of these issues. I have a deep passion for my work as a therapist and helping you navigate your own unique journey toward personal empowerment. I am a client-centered psychotherapist who recognizes you as an individual with your own personal path to follow. I seek to form a bond with you meeting you where you are at in your own personal growth. I am deeply dedicated to helping you find greater joy and fulfillment in your life!

I believe each one of us has the tools and knowledge for our own healing. Through compassion and empathy I help individuals access those innate strengths to make the changes they have struggled to make on their own.

You’re working on yourself in so many ways, but real change isn’t happening. It’s disheartening to see your same issues arise again and again. Even with your wholehearted attempts to build meaningful relationships, your fear of intimacy always surfaces, and your loneliness persists. After reciting affirmations for months, you still don’t feel any better about yourself. You have a deep desire to build a life that feels authentic and aligned, but deep-seated issues are holding you back. They’ve been around forever, so ingrained that you’ve barely been able to touch them with your latest attempts at healing.

I specialize in family therapy, including individual child sessions, parenting sessions, and whole-family sessions. While children's behavior or mood can often be the motivating factor that gets families in the door, I find that family systems are deeply interconnected and most clients can benefit from a more holistic approach than just child therapy alone. I find the most satisfaction in training parents in positive parenting and necessary self-care to be able to parent as their best selves.

I have devoted my career to helping children, adolescents, and adults heal from anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, and loss. I have extensive training in trauma, particularly working with children, adolescents, and families whose lives are affected by physical abuse, sexual abuse, family violence, neglect, bullying, and attachment issues related to adoption. I value the importance of working with the whole family system to heal from trauma, improve mental wellness, and adjust to changes in the family dynamic. My treatment is aimed at strengthening the parent-child relationship, and assessing the strengths and areas of growth within the caregiver/child dyad.

I specialize in helping adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping. I have a strong background working with parents who are struggling with child and teen related developmental issues such as, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and teaching parenting skills. I also work with neonatal and post natal loss, grief and coping with death and dying.

My goal is to provide clients caring, concrete, and practical answers using proven-effective treatment options. I feel strongly that clients should be a collaborator in their treatment and see improvements quickly. Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy provides quick solutions and reduces parental stress. Couples often seek therapy when communication is breaking down. Both PCIT and Gottman Method Therapy inform my work with couples and families.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/integration, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships. I use specialized cognitive, client centered, and somatic approaches. For details please see www.newtranspersonalpsychotherapy.com

Creating a meaningful and gratifying life can be challenging in our culture, which values production over connection. Often, even when things are going well on the outside, stress and painful self-talk can keep us in a place of fear and anxiety. The great news is that when we give ourselves space to slow down, we can change patterns that are not serving our well being. We can step into more fulfilling relationships with our friends, partners, and children.

The Intimacy Institute for sex and relationship therapy helps couples and individuals better their lives sexually and emotionally. We offer Clinical Sex therapy - a specialized area of professional psychotherapy, with a team of therapists that all have comprehensive training in sexuality and couples therapy. We focus on sexual and emotional health, pleasure, and satisfaction. Many common issues in sex therapy include desire discrepancy, erectile and ejaculation struggles, orgasm concerns, painful intercourse, infidelity, regulating compulsive sexual behavior, and understanding alternative lifestyles and sexual expression.

I work with individuals and couples in times of transition. Transitions can come in the form of endings such as divorce, empty nest, retirement or death. However, beginnings such as a new relationship, new baby, a move or the start of a new job or project can also activate transitional stress. Certain life stages such as adolescence, middle age and the end of life can also be seen as transitional periods, where old concepts of self are being reworked and new goals are being created. I work with clients to mine these richly important times and to facilitate greater self awareness, integration and healing.

Welcome! No matter where you are at right now, I want you to know that there is always hope. You have the power to begin your journey to heal, repair and harmonize. You are already taking the first step to grow by seeking therapy. It is in these moments where awakenings can begin. Use this moment to end your negative patterns, to discover your worth, to get out of your rut & to heal your trauma, your pain, or your inner child. And my mission is to help you with just that.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

The cycles of overwhelm, internalized aggression, and self-abandonment are not solitary experiences; they happen as complex responses to trauma, stress, depression, grief, disconnect, even to success and expansion. Whether you are struggling with addiction or any challenging life pattern, the impulse to escape the present moment can influence a painful cycle of suffering. In the process of reclaiming the self, we cannot approach healing on a solely cognitive level. Every aspect of the collective self holds the wounds and wisdom that, if honored in mutual regard, can guide an individual towards profound growth.
