Therapists in Boulder, CO

You are ready to feel emotionally healthier and happier overall. You're not sure how to do it and things aren't changing. We all need to reach out for help now and then, and I know how difficult this first step can be. Your capacity to evolve and heal is earth-shattering and beyond what you can imagine at this point. Anxiety, trauma, failed relationships, and insecurities don't have to run your life anymore. If you are ready to take control back and say "YES!" to changing your life, the time is now. I have traversed this difficult terrain myself and have over 16 years experience in the mental health field to bring to your team.

If you’ve been misunderstood by the medical system, your doctor, friends, and family, and you just want to understand what’s happening to you. Illness and complex trauma show up in many forms; brain fog, dissociation, chronic fatigue, unexplained aches and pains, memory issues and more. Pain is suffering when it’s purposeless. So, whatever you are facing we can find meaning and purpose in your life and relationships, you don’t have to be alone in the journey to wellbeing. You deserve someone who will share those pains and walk with you in your journey to recovering wellness and living a life of health & purpose.

I graduated from Naropa University in May 2015 with my Master's degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy. I work with children, teens, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem. I feel that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership, where together we will decide the pace, structure, and forms of expression that best suit the client's needs. I am primarily an art therapist who loves to help clients express themselves and their emotions in a healthy and safe way using art materials.

In the past twenty seven years of practice, I've come to deeply understand that we become who we are from two sources: our relationships and experiences. The beliefs we hold about our limitations, potential, and life's possibilities spring from our interpretations (and misinterpretations) of life events and from the people surrounding them. I help clients unpack their past and present experiences so they may understand how these are woven together; to heal self-judgements and negative beliefs that come from their past; and create compassionate, loving, and empowered relationship with themselves, and others.
