Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Boulder, CO
Carl Rogers said, when we accept ourselves as we are, then we can change. Focusing on the individual and their unique capability toward healing is the guiding approach I take in therapy. I work with great curiosity to explore the distractions and negative cycles that may be keeping you stuck. The struggle for clarity is a difficult one to navigate in isolation; together we can look at patterns and behaviors that no longer service you. The therapeutic process is one of finding balance between the emotional and rational, the mind and body and bringing that forward into our lives.

I have been providing therapy to children, adolescents, young adults, parents and men throughout the Boulder & Denver area's since 1995.
Therapy can be used to address ADHD, oppositional defiance disorder, anxiety, depression, and drug and alcohol issues. Plans can also be developed to address low self esteem or to help individuals struggling with change, transition, or loss. I also mentor clients who are feeling isolated, or who lack clear direction.

Do you feel disconnected—from your needs, your relationship, or even parts of yourself? Some days might feel like an internal battle—one part of you reaches for connection, while the other gets pulled away to keep you safe. You want to be present for yourself or for your partner, but cycles of overthinking or unresolved conflict leave you feeling depleted, resentful or withdrawn. Whether you’re seeking therapy individually or as a couple, you're here because you want to understand your patterns more deeply and begin making space for something new.

I provide play therapy for children and families navigating big emotions, anxiety and life transitions. Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach that helps children express and process feelings through play, creativity and connection-especially when talking feels hard. I offer a warm, child-centered space where kids can feel safe, understood, and supported as they grow. I am passionate about supporting children of all ages, neurotypes, genders and emotional needs. I welcome all children-especially those with big behaviors, those who feel withdrawn and kids navigating learning differences.

The days are blurring together. There’s a pressure in your chest that won’t go away. It’s hard to breathe because you are so overwhelmed. You see everything that’s not working but feel out of control. Distracting yourself with friends, alcohol, exercise, etc. used to work. Now, you’re stuck at home, unable to distract yourself for long. You hate who you are. Up to this point, you were surviving, but you want more. You think, “if only I wasn’t so sensitive.” Your whole life you’ve felt small, judged, shamed. There has to be more. You don’t want to be that person anymore, and you need help. You need someone to see the real you.

There are times where life presents challenges that can feel and seem insurmountable. Childhood wounding, difficulties with relationships, 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 "... 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.

As a long-time local, I find renewal in creativity and time with my two teenage children.
You're not alone if you long for intimacy, experience painful communication with your loved ones, or hope to nurture more stable and meaningful relationships. You may even be torn about whether to stay or go. Conflict, emotional shutdown, and misunderstanding often manifest from underlying fears or trauma histories. In our work together, I’ll help you tune into the subtle cues of your body, mind, and emotions. You are not broken; you are just carrying patterns that want care and attention as you're guided back into connection.

When you imagine a time when you felt at your best, what comes to mind for you? Perhaps, a time when you stood up for something important to you? Or, a time when you felt synchrony between your mind, your body, and your heart? Maybe you've experienced lots of moments when you felt like you could engage with the world in a meaningful way, and during that time you - just for a moment - lost track of the 'stuff' you usually carry along with you? Changes are, these experiences in your life are not entirely due to chance or circumstance... but rather, due to your mindset, your habits, and your relationships.

Effective therapy begins with a solid, trusting relationship between you and your therapist. I create a warm and open environment where we can build that trust and begin to address your concerns. Is anxiety holding you back? Are you experiencing conflict or distance in your relationship with a partner, friend, child, sibling or parent? Are you going through a difficult transition or loss in your life? We will use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Interventions and Interpersonal Therapy to actively create the change and growth you are seeking.

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.
