Alcohol Use Therapists in Boulder, CO

After working with adults for over twenty-five years in the fields of addictions and therapy, I’ve learned that you and I are a lot alike: we want to feel good and not feel pain; we want to be able to breathe easier and not feel troubled. Our work will involve exploring habitual patterns and looking at obstacles that have obscured the answers to your questions; we will work patiently, diligently, creatively and with humor to become more aware of them. We will work to mindfully loosen the grip of those obstacles, bit by bit, while exploring alternatives and options.

I help women find relief from painful cycles who long to feel more fulfilled, empowered, and confident in who they are. I focus on building a genuine connection with you so that it feels safe enough to explore vulnerabilities while courageously and compassionately considering new ways of being. If you feel confused, defeated, or anxious, you are likely experiencing a normal reaction to difficult circumstances. We live in a society that does not always make it easy for women to thrive. As a ADHD woman in recovery, I get it— and I know that the right support can go a long way.

Are you looking to deepen your recovery? Tired of the one-size-fits-all approach? My practice offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as psychotherapy for addiction recovery. You’ve likely been through a lot and might be having a tough time identifying what’s getting in the way of making it through these tough times. Or maybe you have an idea of what’s happening and just unsure how to proceed. Ketamine can act as a catalyst for deep healing. Individual differences matter and together we can explore ideas and implement solutions for healing based on the context of your life situation.

Do your negative thoughts dominate you and send you into a funk? Do you find yourself fearful of making decisions, unable at times to get out of bed in the mornings, overwhelmed, too often anxious and stressed? Do you wish you could find more joy and feel more alive and have more ease in your life? As a potential client you need to know that you are not alone, that you are not broken, nor are you a problem that needs fixing.

Thank you for your interest. I tend to work with people in a manner that focuses on strengths, on the inherent wisdom of your system. No matter what the stuck spot, there is something trying to get worked out through the, for example, arguments, depression, anxiety, drug use... there is some aspect of Self that is doing its best to show up. In our work together, we will relieve the pain and struggle of the unhealthy strategy that is not working, while simultaneously working on creating the patterns for a new way to interface with the world.

Nothing seems to be working. You can't get rid of this feeling that happiness is elusive and maybe always has been. Life has thrown challenge after challenge your way and you can't get ahead. You survived a bad childhood (maybe a *really* bad one)…but even now that you're on your own, things don't seem to be falling into place. You don't feel good about yourself no matter what you do, you can't get on track with good habits, and you either avoid or seem to choose the wrong relationships. Things may be falling apart... or maybe they have always felt broken.

My approach to therapy begins with slowing down, settling in, and getting curious about what your mind and body are trying to tell you. It is important to acknowledge the increasing speed and aggression in our world that can influence our consciousness and behavior - we can sometimes feel we are at the mercy of, or complicit with these environmental forces. I encourage my clients to take full responsibility for the difficult feelings they encounter as we explore behavioral changes that make sense.

Have you been struggling to foster, solidify, or manage your relationships? Whether these connections are with the self, others, or substances; I would like to offer you a true reflection. With an extensive background in substance abuse counseling and mindfulness based creative art therapy, we can gain further insight into patterns of relating that may be unstable and promote more stable connections. Life is the most rewarding and grueling experience that we engage in, let's collaborate on attuning for balance, sustainability, & intrinsic fulfillment.

Are you struggling with internal conflicts, anxiety, depression, disordered eating or addictive behaviors? Are you constantly criticizing yourself, doubting your intuition, unable to take positive steps forward? Are you stuck in reliving or recreating your past? There is a gentle, compassionate process for developing a loving, trusting relationship with yourself. I would love to help you come home to yourself and access your own deep wisdom and guidance. Through this process you will learn to be with and appreciate all the parts of yourself, resolve internal conflicts, find balance within your psyche, release addictive/compulsive behaviors, and heal past traumas.

We specialize in the education and treatment of digital media overuse, which includes, video game addiction, social media, information overload, spending compulsions, and online pornography overuse and addiction. We prioritize family involvement because we know that including family members supports overall change, and the health and wellness of the whole family. Families find that when involved in treatment they achieve what they came in to change in a more timely fashion. We provide expert advice, education and guidance to individuals and families seeking to learn more about how to use digital media in a healthy, effective manner, as well as to those who are in the depths of addiction. We specialize in the common co-existing issues found alongside or underneath digital media overuse/addiction, such as anxiety, isolation, depression, academic challenges and failure, inability to obtain or keep employment, lying and deceitful behavior, as well as, aggressive and acting out behaviors.

Relationships are what make life richer, kinder, and more fun. When those aren't working well, life can be really tough, either because we don't have the relationships we want, or those we have aren't working... Loneliness, people-pleasing, social anxiety, or fear of rejection... arguments, lack of connection, or constant conflict... all these can make relationships really, really hard. It all comes down to our relationship with... ourselves. When we know, love, and care for ourselves, our relationships start to change, from the inside out.

Life is a journey of accomplishments/joy along with struggles/challenges. During difficult phases to navigate my hope is to come alongside and support you by considering the relational, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions in a holistic way. First, I listen to your story to understand your unique personality and experiences. Next, integrating my professional training, life experience and years encouraging and supporting others I offer resources, strategies and guidance on how to heal, change, or grow. Hope can be restored whether you suffer from wounds in the past, broken relationships or behavior you desire to change.

Being a human in the world is both an inherently beautiful and painful process. Grief, loss and trauma shape the ways that we approach our daily lives, and sometimes the pain that accompanies these experiences becomes more than anyone can manage on their own. We develop coping strategies in an effort to safely navigate the world, and occasionally these coping strategies become problematic or no longer work for us. Change can be hard and it can be scary, but it can also be exciting and fulfilling; my hope is to help create space to access the range of experiences that arise through the therapeutic process.
