Family Therapy in Boulder, CO

As a psychotherapist with 28 years of experience, I approach therapy from an empathic relational orientation. It is very important my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced based psychotherapy treatment to help improve communication with others, reduce fears and phobias, interrupt thoughts that lead to addictive and other self destructive behaviors, improve self esteem and change negative thought patterns.

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.

Each client has their own unique struggles and a distinct road to recovery. Rather than ask our clients to bounce around individual offices for their care, our center aims to bring practitioners together in a holistic space that both honors client confidentiality but also streamlines communication between practitioners by using shared health records software. Client care specialists take baseline assessments of OCD upon intake into the collective, and every two months, our specialists will continue to assess measurable progress in the treatment of OCD and anxiety.

I am an “Internal Family Systems” informed practitioner. I work with clients to discover more compassionate ways of thinking about themselves and to stop blaming themselves or others. Awareness, compassion for self and other, and support are the keys to facilitate these changes.

Would you like to awaken your inner strength to set clear boundaries? Change adverse patterns that persistently arise in relationships? Ease your heart’s longing to belong? Engage transitions thoughtfully? Embrace a greater sense of connection & well-being? Be more kindhearted with yourself & loved ones? Support your child living a more joyful life? These aspirations are natural, indicating a courageous readiness to reach a fuller potential and greater well-being. Adults express themselves through stories; children through play. Words & play activate the nervous & neural systems allowing access to emotions, thoughts, & sensations.

I feel passionately about working with the range of human experience. In working with children I feel that parent involvement is crucial for the success of therapy. I'm aware that parenting is extremely difficult and I aspire to support parents in that. I enjoy working with parents who are open to working on the way that their own struggles impact their ability to parent compassionately and effectively. Many of the teens and adults I work with are looking to heal from developmental trauma. Symptoms which stem from childhood trauma can present in numerous ways such as: depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, etc.

Relationships surface our deepest wounds and can offer us our greatest opportunities for growth. Life can happen haphazardly, with real difficulties and with little time to develop understanding. With careful attention and support, reconnecting with felt experience can assemble new meaning and invite change to relationships - to ourselves, others, our family systems and lineages, our work and callings, and the natural world. I value transformational therapy that’s collaborative and client-centered, allowing for trust to build as we gradually open to the more challenging aspects of your past and present relational experiences.
