Alcohol Use Therapists in Southeast Boulder, Boulder, CO

I have several passions: 1) I help women struggling with depression and self esteem, especially as they age, to find meaning in their lives. 2) I help parents raise kids who will want to come home for Thanksgiving...and you'll want to see them. 3) I help parents who have made a decision not to work to be full-time stay-at-home parents feel confident and validated in their choice. There is no more important work than successfully raising the next generation. 4) I help seniors dealing with aging issues, depression, and addictions. 5) I help all adults dealing with addictions, depression, and anxiety.

As a psychotherapist with 28 years of experience, I approach therapy from an empathic relational orientation. It is very important my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced based psychotherapy treatment to help improve communication with others, reduce fears and phobias, interrupt thoughts that lead to addictive and other self destructive behaviors, improve self esteem and change negative thought patterns.

Sandstone Care provides substance use, addiction, and mental health treatment for young adults (ages 18 to 30) and adolescents (ages 13 to 18) including Residential Treatment, Day Treatment (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and General Outpatient (OP) programming.

During this time, being overwhelmed and living with so much uncertainty makes managing daily life (work, homeschooling, relationships, household) a huge challenge.

Every client I have worked with wants some relief from intense feelings or states, some understanding of what is going on, and where to go! Something has become too much, too painful, off, too frustrating or too dull and they want or need change. Maybe there is a sense the tried-and-true methods of the past won’t create the necessary change and that some consistent professional help is needed. In short, if you want less of the bothering symptoms like anxiety, depression, challenges in relationships or self-defeating behaviors, and more vitality, positivity, depth, and a sense of meaning in your life, please reach out!

​​I specialize in providing therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, substance use, and addiction. My focus is working with young adults, and I prioritize cultivating an organic and genuine relationship with each client to meet them where they are in their journey.

I seek to create a safe, welcoming environment where genuine conversation and exploration can occur. My specialties include relationships, sexual challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and distress around identity. I also support clients with transitions to parenthood and postpartum challenges. Oftentimes these life transitions are more difficult than most people can imagine. I recognize the obstacles each person overcomes to start therapy and the courage required to begin that process. Together, we will look for pragmatic and effective ways to ignite the process towards feeling better and living a more authentic life.

I love working with people that are ready to explore change. Everyone gets stuck from time to time. Coming to terms with loss and pain is never easy. Loss can come in the form of actual bereavement or in through accepting difficult events or even a difficult diagnosis, If you would like to try to address your reaction to trauma, loss, or even addictive relationships to substances and activities, I would love to work with you. I have comfort and familiarity in working with bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and anxiety. I hope to work with people who are seeking their highest expression of selfhood and are willing to look inside.

“I often feel paralyzed by fear, and I can feel my heart pounding out of my chest”...“High school/college are supposed to be the ‘best years of your life’-I’m struggling”... “I relapsed again... I'm at a loss of what to do.”...“I experience guilt and shame over distressing intrusive thoughts about taboo topics (harming someone, inappropriate behavior, etc.) that go against my morals and values.” Your struggles do not define you and I am here for you. Untreated OCD, substance abuse/addictions, adolescent issues, and anxiety/depression can feel isolating.

I'm guessing that in many areas of your life you are functioning quite well, even thriving. On the other hand you may be simultaneously experiencing a lack of fulfillment and a feeling of emptiness in another area(s) of your life. Symptoms of this may be anxiety, mood problems (including depression), unhealthy behaviors, and problems in relationships. You can choose the pain of stagnation or the discomfort of growth. If you choose growth, you will experience greater joy, peace, connectedness, and purpose. My purpose is to facilitate your growth, and therapy is a powerful tool for your transformation.

I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with substance abuse and their family members. With a wealth of experience working with young adults, adults, and families across diverse therapeutic settings, I consider it a privilege to stand at the crossroads of change with you. Let's collaborate on your path to achieving goals and enhancing the quality of your life.

My therapeutic approach comes from the belief that all beings have innate wisdom and goodness. However through human challenges and traumatic experiences, we may hold fears, limiting beliefs, and energetic shields that may make it challenging to access our Highest Selves. I aim to provide support in helping clients navigate through life challenges, cultivating skills and confidence in managing life stressors, emotional and spiritual issues. Importantly, through the skillful building of self-compassion toward parts that have been rejected or dismissed, and finding more meaning and purpose, life can be a more pleasant experience.

You are the guide on this journey. You deserve the freedom to grow in a way that is meaningful and valid for your voyage in life. You will not be lectured or pressured to pursue a path that is not yours. Growth takes time, energy, and empathy. Vulnerability is challenging, and I will do my part to create a space where you feel comfortable to process these experiences. I will celebrate your success and be there for during life's missteps. I am honored and look forward working with you.
