Therapists in Southeast Boulder, Boulder, CO

INTEGRATIVE AND HOLISTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY - My approach is collaborative, interactive and holistic. I am interested in helping you to not only achieve your goals, but to provide lifelong tools for experiencing greater balance and fulfillment and to help you resolve past circumstances that impede living life to its fullest. I bring a diverse training in multiple modalities to our work together including EMDR, Brain-spotting, and Mindfulness and I integrate these with traditional cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches for optimal healing. I offer Mindfulness Meditation classes to further deepen personal growth and healing.

Most likely you're not looking for a therapist because you feel so awesome you want to pay someone to talk about it. I know that certainly wasn't the case for me - I first sought therapy because I was in a ton of pain (and not the physical kind). If that sounds familiar, first off, welcome. Second, although suffering is difficult, sometimes it is the only thing that can motivate us to make the positive changes necessary for true happiness. Although it might be external circumstances that caused you to start looking for a therapist, it is the internal work that sets us free.

There will always be pain in life but you needn't suffer. You can live a life worth living even as you experience depression, anxiety, negative self evaluation and other psychological symptoms. And you can recover joy and laughter despite mental health issues. Learn practical skills for self regulation and develop mindfulness practices to sustain your ability to be present and effective in your daily life. I can help you with parenting, marital problems, family conflict, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Together we will create a relationship in which you experience acceptance, compassion, empathy--and sometimes humor.

I am a nationally certified master's level counselor with over 20 years of experience including, since 2014, volunteering with Tru Hospice facilitating grief groups. I offer counseling for issues related to loss and grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, self-empowerment, divorce, parenting, emotional, sexual and physical abuse, co-dependency, adult children of alcoholics, and adult children from dysfunctional families. I have successfully helped many people navigate a variety of intensely emotional times so that they emerge with dignity, self-respect, increased coping skills and a clearer understanding of themselves and the lessons their experience has provided.

I’ve been seeing clients in psychotherapy since 1990. My clients come from all social locations. They’ve all been in some kind of life-change process, often in the midst of some inner or outer crisis. I also see young therapists seeking supervision toward their LPC and to learn from the intensity of their own work with clients. Some of my clients have experiences with psychedelics and are seeking help to integrate their experiences. I’m in a 9 month training in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI), a training for licensed professionals.

We all face challenges as we move through life. These challenges can be magnified when we repeat old ways of coping that originally helped us deal with difficult situations, but no longer serve us. At times, we may not even be aware of these habits at all. My job is to assist you in recognizing and understanding these outdated habits and in transforming them from automatic reactions into behaviors that are governed by conscious choices. Whether you are new to therapy or have had prior experience we will work together to meet your current challenges whether they revolve around work, relationships or both.

I view therapy as a gateway for healing, connection and self-exploration. More importantly, I believe the collaborative alliance between therapist and client can be utilized to heal and transform unhealthy relational patterns, trauma, and other difficult issues that keep us stuck. My approach is holistic with an emphasis on honoring the multidimensional aspect of the individual toward wholeness of mind, body and spirit. I specialize in helping my clients learn how to cope with and overcome life transitions, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness and difficult relational patterns.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, collage age young adults and parents throughout the Boulder & Denver area's since 1995. My counseling style and therapeutic approach are unique and innovative. By using a less traditional style of therapy, I have been able to connect with and help people and families that have not found conventional therapy productive or beneficial or have found traditional therapy to have not met their needs. I use a strength-based, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy approach which is designed to treat issues that arise in our individual lives, personal relationships and families.

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.

Most people, at one time or another, need the help of a therapist. It can be one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, past trauma, depression, anger, phobias, grief or are having difficulty in relationships. We often are responding to life and the people around us with outdated maladaptive coping strategies. I will help you develop self awareness and emotional regulation skills so that instead of being hijacked by your emotions you are empowered to react in healthy, positive ways. I provide my clients with a tool box of techniques that they can use to support them between our sessions.

My approach to health and well-being is rooted in the belief that we have within us the capacity to live satisfying, engaged and meaningful lives. But often we find ourselves in unhealthy and isolating patterns, resulting in anxiety, depression, addictions, and conflictual relationship with those we love and work with. I help people get to the core root of what is holding them back and transform limiting patterns so they can live a happy, healthy life. My style is direct, supportive and creative, integrating the healing power of humor, horses and the great outdoors!

Whether by video or in the outdoors it's an honor to accompany individuals, couples, and families on journeys of growth and discovery through therapy. I am guide in the process, you are the expert of yourself and your experience. If you're not feeling expert, my approach draws out individuals' inner wisdom, and confidence. Working with the mind-body connection, trauma resolution, mindfulness, and the natural world, we are able to co-create new possibilities for living a more enlivened and fulfilling life. Neuroscience and attachment theory highly inform my work and I am ever expanding my knowledge and skill in order to best serve.

It takes courage to seek help. I believe that every person can benefit from self-reflection and developing more effective ways to cope with the difficult parts of life. I strive to create collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients with respect for each person's autonomy and strength. I aim to meet clients where they're at with empathy and compassion. I have experience and feel competent working with people facing various mental health struggles, including anxiety and depression, as well as those wanting support as they navigate life transitions and/or difficulties in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.

I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention. If you or your family members are experiencing difficulty with your relationships because of communication and problem-solving problems, please consider evidence-based individual or episodic family therapy. Research shows lasting results when parents and youth learn ways to enhance one another's relational skill-building together. I specialize in helping clients find ways to work through risks such as substance abuse, aggression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, loss and grief, and school issues.
