Couples Counseling Therapists in Southeast Boulder, Boulder, CO

What will you do with your one Wild and precious Life?"- Mary Oliver. We work with clients who want to find themselves again. Maybe it's depression, trauma, or life changes. Maybe it's less specific, like being lonely or not being able to manage your stress - we can help you reconnect your head and your heart. We believe in the healing power of nature and experience, and use both in a way that will help you heal and finally find yourself again.

I approach my work with the family system is wholistic and humanistic focused. I work with each member to the family to capitalize on strengths to acknowledge, explore, and ultimately address presenting challenges. Families take many forms. Every family's story is different. Family members may feel isolated and misunderstood. It is our need for connection, understanding, guidance, support, and empowerment that is universal.

Our badass team helps clients reclaim the joy in their relationships, schooling and careers and go from struggling to thriving. Our clients go from faking their way and just getting through the day to becoming the shining authentic beings they are meant to be. Perhaps you have survived, now it is time to shine. We have an amazing team of folks ranging from clinical interns to senior therapists, but we all specialize in helping clients dive deep and share tools that allow clients to sustain measurable and meaningful change. Most of our team also accepts Medicaid.

I believe in plain talk and getting to the root of the issue. To that end, we will name the elephant in the room and then work together to meet the goals that you have for yourself and your mental well being. I've always said that theory and application are two different things. I will not make you fit into a preconceived psyche mold, rather we will plot the therapy course that meets your needs and goals from where you have been to where you are going. The distance between dreams and reality is called action. Take action.

I have been in practice since 1988, dedicated to helping my patients to understand the causes of their problems and to regain mastery, control and well being in their lives. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, chronic illness and pain management. I also specialize in the diagnosis of cognitive problems and dementias associated with Alzheimer's Disease and other disorders.

You may be navigating issues such as sexual dysfunction, intimacy struggles, or concerns about their sexual identity. Their needs include a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore and address these sensitive topics. Their goals are likely focused on improving their sexual well-being, enhancing intimacy in their relationships, and gaining a deeper understanding of themselves sexually. Ultimately, they seek to overcome obstacles, cultivate greater satisfaction and connection in their sexual experiences, and live authentically in alignment with their desires and values.

Schedule now through my website in my bio! You should be SO proud of yourself for taking steps towards change in your life! You may be here because you're exhausted from doing it all on your own. Maybe you feel life transitions and changes are causing overwhelming symptoms of depression and anxiety? Are you seeking a professional to help you with integrating radical healing and medicines, in a safe manner? You need a space for you to honor and process the experiences that have made you into the person you are today. Let me help you navigate the changes to come and the behaviors that no longer serve your genuine self.

Fundamentally I believe that all people are innately whole. At our core, we are all compassionate, connected, and able to love all of our many parts. Perhaps you have moments when you feel this way, and for a moment it feels like you have come home to yourself. This is who you really are. But most of us have wounding that we have acquired in our lives. And this wounding has become internalized and turned into beliefs about ourselves, beliefs like "I am not enough." These beliefs are so powerful and feel so true. But, this is not who you are. And through our work together you can find your way back home.

I work primarily with the LGBTQIA+ community. This work sometimes includes specific phases of life that are unique to the queer community, such as coming out or transitioning. Other times, the work includes issues that can affect anyone, regardless of one's sexual orientation or gender identity. These issues could include relational conflict, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, career exploration, personal growth, divorce, parenting, etc.

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

Most people come to see me to develop areas of their lives such as: personal and spiritual growth; relationships; finding meaning; working through the impact of family and personal histories; health, confidence, and wellbeing; fresh directions; clarity; greater life engagement; fulfillment; parenting; workplace issues; communication; and moving past feeling ‘stuck’. Through our gentle work and exploration you will begin to untangle the internal and external knots that bind you and reconnect with your core being. Our work becomes the catalyst for increased personal awareness and deeply sought growth, forward movement and fulfillment.

I believe that each of us possesses our own capacity to heal. And when we deepen our connection and understanding of ourselves and the world around us, we are better able to access the parts of us from which we draw strength, peace, and joy. Together we will explore the sources of difficult emotions and long held beliefs that have interfered with your ability to walk your unique life’s path to self-actualization, fulfillment, and purpose.

The purpose of this glorious life is not simply to endure it, but to soar, stumble and thrive as you learn to fall in love with your human experience. We were born to live, not to merely exist.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, and an IFS Level 1 Trained Therapist. I hold a masters in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I work with adults in individual sessions. My approach to therapy is that there are no bad parts of ourselves, but that parts of ourselves cause suffering by being disconnected from who we really are, our Self. By reconnecting lost parts with our Self we can live more empowered and authentic lives. The stories we tell are an important part of who we are. And they often lead us to the unprocessed pain we carry.

Are you a new mom coping with significant life changes? Are you dealing with stress, grief, or a unique challenge while parenting? Do you feel like your relationships and identity are shifting? Do you feel blah, exhausted, or lonely? I get how challenging parenting can be. Having a gentle, nonjudgmental place to explore deeper feelings and feel supported can lighten your load. Getting some time just for you, whether to talk things out, recharge, set goals, acknowledge your strengths, or see things from a fresh perspective can help you parent mindfully & joyfully and feel like yourself again.

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.

Are you or your teen struggling with difficult emotions or self-defeating behaviors? I can help.

If you’re ready to commit to such a process, then I will be right there with you, offering support and insight at each step along the way.

I personally suffered from severe social anxiety, chronic blushing, self-confidence and self-esteem issues, also depression and complex PTSD. I understand how very difficult life can be.
