Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Boulder, CO
I am an Ackerman trained family therapist and graduate of NYU, practicing individual, family, couple, and support group psychotherapy. I specialize in relationships, intimacy, illness, trauma, and loss. My therapeutic work w/clients focuses on exploring how family, religion, and cultures of origin influence how one learns to adapt in the world, both independently and when exploring new areas of intimacy and connection. I believe in the importance of my own self-awareness, acknowledging that the work in understanding one’s relationship to privilege regarding ethnicity, color, and other intersectional identities are a lifelong study.

I help analytical people to own their feelings, solve their problems and live a satisfying and fulfilling life. You're smart, capable, good at solving problems. But maybe your anxiety isn't responding to logic. You can't stop overthinking even though you know it's irrational. You keep repeating patterns without understanding why. You've analyzed these patterns from every angle and you're still feeling stuck. That's where I can help.

Are you looking for change? Trying to undo barriers to change? I'm passionate about helping clients recover from childhood trauma, move beyond substance addiction, find new ways of relating to themselves and the world, and explore their humanness and spiritual selves as they grow towards fulfilling life-long pursuits or desires. My work with clients is direct and compassionate, oriented towards the relational and existential aspects of Life, and also mindfulness-based.

Childhood experiences don’t always stay in childhood. Maybe you grew up feeling like you had to earn love, keep the peace, take care of everyone else, or ignore your own needs. Those experiences can continue to shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world, even years later. I help people understand these patterns, heal from what they’ve been carrying, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Know Thyself was the ancient prescription for a meaningful life, and I believe it still holds true today. To understand our needs, potentials, and limitations gives us the courage to confront our challenges and the wisdom to learn and grow from them. I offer a compassionate and down-to-earth approach to therapy, partnering with clients to discover unconscious patterns that interfere with satisfaction in work, health, relationships, and creativity. I believe that symptoms arise when vital parts of our personalities have been denied; thus depression, anxiety, addiction, and chronic illness may be voices of the deeper self trying to be heard.

My ideal client is anyone navigating a period of deep transition, disconnection, or the persistent weight of past experiences. They often feel "stuck" in patterns that no longer serve them and are seeking more than just a clinical checklist. They are looking for a supportive, grounded space to explore their inner landscape and reclaim their sense of self. Whether you are dealing with burnout, life shifts, or a desire for deeper meaning, you value a therapist who bridges professional clinical expertise with a holistic, person-centered approach. I work with those ready to move from simply surviving to a more integrated, authentic way.
