EMDR Therapists in Boulder, CO
Tailoring treatment to individual needs, I incorporate modalities like psychodynamic therapy and EMDR.
I believe the goal of psychotherapy is to loosen the bonds of past experiences and create space for reflection where it’s been absent. This process helps us discover new ways to understand ourselves, connect more deeply with others, and live with greater authenticity and alignment.

EMDR: a powerful approach to trauma which uses your body/mind's natural ability to heal.
As a therapist, I offer a lot of feedback while respecting your views and goals. I have no hidden agenda, what you see is what you get. My job is to empower you to find your way through stuck places and to accompany you on your path of self-discovery. I was born and raised in Europe, so it gives me the benefit of having a multi-cultural perspective on life which I believe can enrich one's exploration.

I use EMDR and IFS, evidenced based orientations that are proven to create lasting change.
Therapy sucks. It's expensive, time consuming and uncomfortable - who wants to share their dark thoughts and feelings with a stranger? If you are here now, you must be struggling and unsure - but there is a part of you that knows you could use some guidance. It's not weak to seek help, but finding the right person is overwhelming and exhausting, and it's possible that you've landed in the right place. I treat anxiety, depression and trauma and do so in a structured, effective way with experience, kindness and humor. I know that change is hard, but finding the right person to walk with you is the first step on this journey.

I blend body-based experiential therapies including Hakomi, EMDR, NeuroAffective Touch, and nature-based therapies.
Does this sound like you: “Even though I’ve worked towards change, I keep finding myself back in similar experiences and relationships. I'm tired of this knot in my stomach with the thoughts that don't stop, Although I can usually figure things out on my own, that isn't working this time. Sometimes I worry that maybe there's something wrong with me. I see some patterns in myself and over the years I’ve gained tools that help, but they don’t seem to reach the underlying issues. I want to take advantage of my clarity to make lasting changes; I know that I could feel more alive, connected and joyful."

Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR and its related therapeutic techniques (Tapping/EFT and Flash EMDR), along with positive psychology and ACT are amazing resources that can be supportive to all of us as "tools in the tool belt" - things we can go to when we are working through something difficult.
We are here on this planet together, frequently experiencing very similar life events and yet sometimes we feel we cannot talk with others about what we think are very difficult personal experiences. I have been that quiet and alone person, not sure how to heal or grow or move beyond difficult events. You do not need to suffer alone. Reaching out to a therapist is a way to talk about the stuff that feels overwhelming or too embarrassing or confusing to manage on your own. Talking with a therapist can also bring new insights and expansion of the heart. Reach out and let's see if we could be a good team together.

Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
