Adoption Therapists in Crossroads, Boulder, CO

I help individuals and couples work through issues related to depression, anxiety, shame, insomnia, fatigue, illness, interpersonal challenges and trauma. I honor diversity in my practice and approach the therapist-client relationship with compassion, openness, safety and even humor. I am trained in Buddhist meditation, Medical Chi Kung, Kaiut Yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment and Adoption issues and Feeding Your Demons. I believe that we are all inherently healthy and that with support and the right approach, healing is always possible.

I work with individuals and couples offering existential therapy to help you to live more fully and find new ways to face your predicaments, paradoxes and conflicts. Together we can explore your life and relationships to discover ways in which you can live more authentically, in alignment with your values. I trained and worked in England before moving to Boulder in 2010. I have over 20 years experience as a therapist; I bring that with me as I meet each new individual or couple. I will help you describe, clarify and unravel your relationship to the world, your self and other people. We do not have to start with your childhood.

My approach is direct, supportive and caring. I believe that effective psychotherapy is based upon mutual curiosity and genuineness in discovering how to meet life’s challenges - including family issues, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. The path through these difficulties includes facing them with humor, gentleness and bravery. The fruition of this exploration is a greater awareness of self and an appreciation of others.

Entering into therapy is an important decision, and finding the right therapist is essential to a successful experience. I believe that every person is deserving of compassion and honor, and is capable of living a rich and satisfying life. Each client is unique and very important to me, and together we will create an approach that works best for you. In our sessions, I focus on empowering emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual well being. I believe that we can do our best work together when we come to a shared understanding of your specific challenges and find helpful ways to work on them.

Are you anxious about your relationship? Make the changes you want! Are you angry or depressed? I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety, depression, and anger. Why wait to make the positive changes you want? Let's create new tools custom tailored for you. I will listen carefully, and be a proactive teacher, as you learn and integrate what is possible in your life. I have an office in Boulder and also use online/phone/zoom choices for your convenience.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

There are times where life presents tremendous challenges that can feel and seem insurmountable. Childhood wounding, insecure attachment, abuse, discrimination, divorce/separations, existential crisis, and transition to motherhood can be overwhelming. Often our family, friends, and larger community, if we are connected to them, do not know to help or are compromised themselves and cannot. This is when the proverbial "sh*t hits the fan." In some larger way, we might be able to see what is happening as an opportunity to grow, but what has happened or is happening is so painful we need strong support to get through and grow from it.

Accepting New Clients! There are times in our lives where we recognize we need things to change or just need some support. I am here to help you, your family, and your children with a challenge that might feel too big to manage on your own. I specialize in working with children and adults who are seeking services for depression, anxiety, trauma and high stress experiences, behavioral issues, adjustment difficulties, and family relationship concerns. I also have experience and training working with nuerodivergent clients (ADHD, Autistic, Developmental Disorders, TBI, and birth trauma) and welcome the opportunity to work with you.

As a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I strive to support my clients in identifying and meeting their goals in order to move beyond obstacles and make desired changes. I provide a respectful, empathic, supportive therapeutic relationship and space that is responsive to each individual's needs and goals. It is truly an honor to be a part of the turmoil and the triumphs of the journeys my clients travel.TOGETHER we will work to resolve past traumas, change self-defeating behaviors and limiting beliefs and learn new skills in order to create integrated and lasting change.

Is your kiddo lacking confidence, overwhelmed by their emotions, yet you know deep inside there is a magical human just waiting to be discovered? I work with children who are highly intellectual, empathic, and feeling beings who oftentimes have been targeted by schools, peers, and teachers as being the "problem." The truth is they are not the problem and you know this, but yet their everyday functioning is being hindered. Getting to school or having play dates often seems like more of a challenge for you than the other families you know.

Parents seek Play Therapy and Parent Support sessions with me to help their child work through their behavioral challenges and improve their parent-child relationship. Play Therapy sessions help kids to express their feelings in regulated ways, promote self-confidence and autonomy, improve their relationship to themselves and others, support social-emotional learning, and work to embrace your child's natural essence helping them to live a full, authentic, and resilient life. I also offer counseling for Tweens & Teens (ages 11-15) through this complicated point of development, especially now in such a complicated world.

As a Stanford trained psychologist, I combine skills-based with insight-oriented therapy approaches to help young adults and adults with anxiety, depression, or disordered eating find their way back to a fulfilling life. Do you feel down and sad for no apparent reason? Do you feel all alone and as though nobody understands you or sees your pain? Do you tend to overthink things? You are not alone. Through my ability to read between the lines, I can see you and help you better understand yourself. We will work through subconscious challenges that interfere with your joy in life, growth, and path to healing.

I am passionate about collaborating with others in their healing journeys. As a Board Certified Art Therapist I utilize a holistic, mindfulness based, client-centered approach to work with children, adolescents, and adults to heal from anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, and loss. I specialize in early-childhood mental health as well as perinatal/postpartum mental health. I work in partnership with caregivers and young children to focus on integrating and healing early trauma, attachment disruptions, and building secure relationships between caregiver and child.

Supporting children to develop awareness & thrive. I support children & their parents develop an understanding around what is creating and maintaining challenges; and, bring more regulation and less stress to everyday living. My work is influenced by current research on play therapy, neurobiology, attachment and the mind body connection. I am also a registered Yoga Teacher, and incorporate Eastern approaches into treatment such as yoga, meditation & sensory awareness practices.

As a parent do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel as if you have tried everything but nothing works?

In a safe place your child can express his or her feelings, resolve problems, and learn essential life skills.

The only constant is change. The only certainty is humans are called upon to navigate the challenging upheavals of life's transitions. Receiving assistance with grief issues, trauma, relationship difficulties, or navigating a cancer diagnosis and other chronic disease, is part of the therapeutic experience. The remainder exists in the relationship with one's therapist. After three decades, working with a variety of people from very famous to blue collar workers, I am qualified to understand your unique story. Together we will begin a journey of self discovery having the potential to improve the quality and meaning of your life.
