Family Therapy in Boulder, CO

I work with individuals, couples and families to create meaningful & fulfilling relationships, improve connections, address conflict, and increase effective communication patterns. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and others. During session we will explore past and present experiences to gather information about your strengths, resiliency, and challenges. I offer a direct, creative and compassionate approach and nonjudgemental space to do some difficult, and at times, uncomfortable work. Integrating creativity allows us the chance to be playful as you try on new ways of doing things and have some fun with the process of getting to know a truer you.

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

Online only- Feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Struggling with your mood, substance abuse, a challenging family or relationship dynamic? I believe that no matter what you have been through, or are currently facing, you have the capacity to heal and thrive. After working for years, with a high level of success, with some of the most traumatized, addicted, and overlooked individuals in society, I have a broad knowledge and ability to help or assist many who are stuck or feel they cannot be helped.

Unique to my practice is my ability to mirror your innate wisdom. With this relational focus, whether you are coming in for individual or couples therapy, you'll begin to work through issues, and increase your confidence while doing so. I hold a safe space that is conducive to exploring those scary and sometimes dark places that we fear, like broken heartedness, and come out the other side with tenderness, wisdom, & contentment.

I have worked with adults and adolescents for 30 years to overcome depression, anxiety, anger, stress, relationship conflicts, ADD, addictions, workplace, and motivation problems. I am a very interactive and solution focused therapist who challenges clients to instigate the change they want to see. I help clients develop skills in approaching discomfort rather than avoiding. Using cognitive strategies, I can help you change negative thinking to positive. I help clients express their healthiest emotions rather than using emotions to defend or manipulate. I encourage mindfulness, exercise, and other self-care skills.

Are you living the life you want? I use Gestalt, Existential, psychodynamic, body-oriented, group, couples, and family systems therapy as a way of looking at underlying issues. The aim is personal transformation and more creative living. I have a background in working with addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, self neglect, and abandonment issues. We will focus on self-care, life transitions, self-expression, and support for an abundant life. I especially like working with people where they feel stuck and unable to move forward. My overall approach involves helping people move from the spirit of seriousness to the spirit of play.

I'm guessing that in many areas of your life you are functioning quite well, even thriving. On the other hand you may be simultaneously experiencing a lack of fulfillment and a feeling of emptiness in another area(s) of your life. Symptoms of this may be anxiety, mood problems (including depression), addiction, problems in relationships or behavioral issues. You can choose the pain of stagnation or the discomfort of growth. If you choose growth, you will experience greater joy, peace, connectedness, and purpose. My purpose is to facilitate your growth and therapy is a powerful tool for your transformation.

I work with teens, individuals and couples from a humanistic, somatic, mindfulness based perspective. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a guiding force in the healing process and an essential component for clients to more deeply access themselves. In our time together, we will increase awareness around your relationship to self, relationship patterns with others, how you work to notice and process feelings, how you relate to past wounds and trauma and how you regulate through stressful times. Together we will increase your capacity to compassionately trust and come back to yourself over and over again.

I am a therapist in private practice. I provide individuals, couples, families, and groups with telehealth sessions, reflection emails (letters written about our therapeutic conversation between meeting times), and Therapeutic Ceremony construction and facilitation. I have developed a very relational approach to counseling starting with wilderness therapy and moving through a master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy . I work from a Narrative Therapy lens through which I see people as whole beings who struggle with messy human experiences in an oft broken world. I offer free initial consultations, call or email today!

As an integrative psychotherapist, I have an engaged, relational approach grounded in trauma, attachment, neuroscience, EMDR, mindfulness, social justice, and climate-aware counseling. In working with you I am direct and proactive with the goal to create an environment in which you can become who you truly are. Our work together includes looking at your personal, family and cultural history, and the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world. We also may incorporate your dreams, memories or paying attention to the language expressed in your body.

(My practice is currently full). I work with people who are looking to feel connected to themselves & others, no longer limited by the patterning, conditioning, stories, triggers, attachment styles & past pains that have been interfering with your life & relationships. The foundation of my therapy is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal & grow in new ways. I see you as the expert of your life and experiences, & I see my role as a support, catalyst, guide & companion on your journey of transformation. I prefer swimming in the deep waters, cherishing & respecting the uniqueness of everyone's process.

I support clients using experiential and somatic approaches to mobilize root emotional content that cannot be accessed or moved through traditional talk therapy. I have substantial experience in working with trauma, grief, and depression. I work with men's issues and facilitate workshops and retreats. I have also worked as a therapist in addiction treatment and recovery. I began working in the field of therapy and counseling in 2006 as a Wilderness Therapy guide for teens and young adults doing intensive healing and transformation work in a group setting.

When depression, anxiety, and stress begin to feel too heavy to handle alone, I offer a safe place to explore and feel. My aim is to help you uncover and overcome the obstacles that are blocking you from living the life that you want. In our sessions, I will bring a warm, vibrant, grounded energy that is equal parts gentle and challenging. I believe that you possess an inner wisdom that truly knows what is true and right for you. Let's find that together.

Are you or a family member feeling stuck? Together we can uncover new solutions. I'll work creatively and collaboratively with you to find pathways out of those difficult places, both within you and in your relationships. Perhaps you have a child or teen who's experiencing anxiety or fears, or you are experiencing sadness and stress personally or with a partner or family member. Together we'll find solutions as we tap into your inherent strengths and the potential strengths in your relationships.
