Therapists in Boulder, CO

I am a master's level clinician who offers professional treatment of the family system. Within my private practice, sessions focus on individuals, adolescents, families, parenting, behavioral issues, addiction, & any issues causing strained relationships which negatively affect the home environment. I use a unique mixture of humor, directness, relatability, & acceptance to provide a safe environment with my clients. In a non-judgmental space, one’s inherent strength & mindfulness can submerge. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients find tangible ways to obtain their individual versions of positive change.

A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence. Grow silently. - Confucius... To grow silently means to go within, to be aware, to have courage in the face of fear. If you're struggling with addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety/depression, boundaries and learning to be assertive or trying to find your meaning and purpose in world filled with noise. Then perhaps I can be of help.

My approach to therapy is like me as a person: straightforward, engaged, and practical. I use humor when appropriate and try to have as good a time as possible with the process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the model I work from most while always having the Solution-Focused model in mind. I work with adults and young adults on issues including anxiety, relationships, communication, decision making, transitions, anger management, self confidence, depression, and contentment.

We'll figure this out together! Get back to baseline and begin to build the life you want to live. I'll help you learn to use your body as a resource for your mind. Beginning with simple breathing techniques & physical movements to aid in emotional management & reduction of stress, anxiety, & depression. For those who are ready, we will do the deeper work of releasing unprocessed emotions & old storylines that may be silently running your life in the background. Thus transforming hardships into wisdom & personal power to propel your life forward in whatever direction you choose.

Now accepting new clients! Are you living a balanced life? f you are feeling unfulfilled in your relationships, career, or life in general…If you have been struggling with the painful feelings of depression or anxiety, ADHD symptoms, substance use, poor boundaries, going through life transitions, or chronic illness, I am here to help.

Deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating! Maybe you've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time, or maybe something happened to you that you need space to process, with some guidance. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Regardless, our job together once you walk into the room is to figure out how I can best help. It's okay if you don't know what that looks like, yet. That's part of my job!

I am dedicated to helping people contact, explore, and work through their emotional pain, relational wounds, and attachment patterns. My ongoing training, personal therapy, and supervision allow me to listen deeply and non-judgmentally as we engage in a therapeutic dialogue.

Are you living a life that expresses your courage and your dreams? Perhaps you feel like you've lost, or never heard, your true voice? You may be in pain, in a quagmire, or simply ready for change. The heart and soul of my work is to help you lovingly explore and understand the material of your life, and step into the life you want. I work to help you identify troublesome patterns, heal your wounded places, forgive your imperfections, clarify your dreams, gather courage and begin living your authentic life.

We provide individual, couple, parent-child and family counseling. Working with a variety of issues throughout the developmental lifespan, we focus on our client's strengths and go from there. We work with clients to create a treatment plan that reflects their personal goals, family priorities, and future dreams.

I work best with clients who are not only wanting to resolve their issues, but who also have some abiding interest in inner exploration and self-discovery. In my experience, if we only approach therapy with the mindset of needing to fix, therapy can become heavy and mechanical. Even if we are working with difficult subjects, therapy is meant to engage a part of us that loves to know the truth about ourselves. When this happens, it is as though a flame lights up in us, which fuels our passion for self-inquiry. Then, therapy becomes more like an adventure, which can be very enjoyable, meaningful, and expansive.

Only the strongest and most courageous know when it is time to get help. Together we can work through nearly any difficulty. I personalize my counseling and coaching practices based on your or your family's needs, using effective, yet gentle and powerful, proven methods. With 25+ years in practice working with people who have depression, anxiety, OCD, childhood/teen behavioral concerns, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, and adjustments to significant life changes, I have the experience to meet your needs . Not sure if counseling or coaching is right for you? Please call me for a free consultation. Warmest regards, Erin

You are unique, and have something valuable to express, offer, and live. We suffer when we feel cut off from this, when the circumstances and experiences of life do not reflect our deepest knowing of self. Depression, anxiety; feeling stuck, lost, dissatisfied with life.. addiction, unhealthy relationships, illness, loss.... These are all opportunities to learn to love oneself more fully; invitations to transform and heal. I help people restore clarity, connection, love, and get to the root of what blocks their full aliveness.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." (Carl Rogers) I am interested in blending the evidenced-based practices of Western psychotherapy with the wisdom and compassion of Eastern psychology. No matter the issue at hand, therapy first aims at bringing more openness, clarity, and non-judgement to the parts of ourselves that cause fear and trepidation. When we shine light into our shadow, we often find deeper meaning and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. From this space of fearlessness, we can begin to do the work to heal and make profound change in our life.

I have more than 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My expertise is in treating trauma and attachment issues but I am adept at helping with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to a current life crisis such as divorce and loss. Another area of expertise is working with children, especially children between 0 and 6.

I offer an authentic presence and relate to each individual, couple, family and group with heartfelt acceptance, wisdom, and power. My work is centered on building genuine connection, developing somatic awareness, and exchanging honest presence. I offer diverse resources, tools and interventions, including the creative arts, movement, talk-therapy, psycho-education, mindfulness and a safe space to be in relationship. I honor that not everyone learns and heals with the same approach and have a deep respect for the non-verbal realms, for the spiritual world and for the neurology, biology and sociology of making change and achieving optimal wellness.
