Therapists in Boulder, CO

I support clients struggling with trauma, anxiety disorders, depression and personal growth. I have training in a range of approaches and deeply understand attachment/relationship dynamics and intimate partner violence including psychological abuse. My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from several techniques and tailor my approach to each client's needs. Creating a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship is fundamental to an environment that supports personal growth, trauma integration and thriving.

I specialize in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Eating Disorders (ED), working with patients who range in symptom severity and are looking for effective treatment to learn how to manage their concerns. I take a compassionate and gentle approach to exposure based therapies such as ERP. With a commitment to providing the utmost care, I integrate best practices into personalized treatment for adolescents, teens, and adults. Using understanding and empathy, my aim is to gently guide you to find the courage to confront your fears and discomfort, paving the way towards a life of fulfillment and peace.

Life contains many joys and pleasures while also presenting discomfort and heartbreak. Fortunately, humans are incredibly resilient and have an amazing ability to overcome tremendous challenges – especially when we work together. I became a licensed psychologist because I want to create positive change in the world. I believe when we help one another we all become stronger. I provide individual therapy for professionals and students ages 18+ to address concerns including: anxiety, eating disorders/body image, depression, self-esteem, trauma, academic/professional stressors, ADHD, OCD, and more.

My approach to mental health counseling and high performance psychology does not focus simply on symptom reduction (i.e., removing difficulty), but rather aspires to honor what is good and right about you, and what makes each day worth living according to your beliefs, identities, values, and enriching relationships. My aim is to provide a space that invites exploration of challenging yet vital places of growth in the service of what is most important to you in your life. In particular, I have passions supporting people's resilience to shame, perfectionism, and anxiety.

As an integrative practitioner, I believe that there’s not a one-size fits all approach to therapy. I value the importance of creating a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. With an approach rooted in collaboration and support, I strive to establish a safe, nonjudgemental space to for you to explore and overcome barriers that are keeping you from living the life you want to live. I bring warm energy to sessions and am passionate about fostering genuine connection through empathy, integrity, and humor.

I utilize an integrative counseling approach that includes aspects of Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C) with the unique ability to combine nutrition and mental health for clients suffering from disordered eating, poor body image, low self-esteem, anxiety/depression, and other mental health disorders. I advocate for my clients to help them become self-sufficient and independent in developing healthy behaviors. I am passionate about helping clients identify their feelings, needs, and wants while learning how to effectively process and express these needs.

Brene Brown says "Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when in fact it's the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight " I know and have lived with that pressure to look a certain way, constantly perform at the most optimum level and hold myself to an impossible standard. It is awful, it tears you apart on the daily and can make you anxious, depressed and cause a lot of disappointment and shame. As a recovering "perfectionist" myself I get it and I'm here to tell you there is a way out!

My therapeutic approach is one led by compassion, deep listening, and a belief in the inherent goodness of people.

I love to laugh with my clients and celebrate their victories!

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.

Radical acceptance and meaningful connection are the backbones of my life and practice. I firmly believe each of us owns unique parts of ourselves that not only make us different but also make us capable. Sometimes a tree must twist and bend to reach the light it needs; just because its growth looks different doesn’t mean it’s not still growing. As a psychotherapist, my humor and curiosity are what help me reach the light I need. I value the ability to laugh with my clients as well as let them lead. The latter means I will honor all parts of you, your experiences, and your goals.

I work especially with people who struggle with their intimate and social relationships, who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, insomnia, chronic pain, or chronic illness, or with those who need more support, more positivity, help starting a career, or a better process of coping in their life due to a stressful moment or transition.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; all of the sudden you’re getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begin lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

I am passionate about helping others to achieve their life goals and/or recover from illness, trauma, or grief. If you have experienced a major life event, death/loss of a loved one, traumatic life events, or been diagnosed with a debilitating illness, this can be a very difficult journey to navigate alone. You may be leaning on others for support only to find they don't know how to help. Or perhaps you are too concerned to burden those closest to you with your emotional needs. Seeking professional therapy is an excellent way to get the specialized help you need on your path to recovery.
