Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Boulder, CO
As a psychotherapist with 30 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.

I work with individuals and couples who are coming to see that it is too costly, and too exhausting, to maintain their social performances, or to remain engaged in distractions and sedations all the time in order to avoid feeling the fullness of their feelings. I use IFS, EMDR, and Radical Honesty to work with people who want to feel more awake in their lives, resolve trauma, and reclaim their whole selves.

I think of my role as your therapist like the wind that bends the willows at high elevation — helping you grow stronger and more flexible over time. I’m here to support you in building the life you want, always taking care to move at the speed of trust. I’ve worked in wilderness therapy, residential settings, intensive outpatient programs, and private/group practices, and what I’ve learned is that healing happens through genuine connection — between you and me, between you and yourself, and in your community. I focus on collaboration and creating space for honest, sometimes challenging conversations, always with respect and care.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

If you’ve been misunderstood by the medical system, your doctor, friends, and family, and you just want to understand what’s happening to you. Illness and complex trauma show up in many forms; brain fog, dissociation, chronic fatigue, unexplained aches and pains, memory issues and more. Pain is suffering when it’s purposeless. So, whatever you are facing we can find meaning and purpose in your life and relationships, you don’t have to be alone in the journey to wellbeing. You deserve someone who will share those pains and walk with you in your journey to recovering wellness and living a life of health & purpose.

I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse.
I believe that the cycles of frustration you may be experiencing are not indicative of failure or deficiency, but are instead the result of navigating a world that doesn't align with your brain's natural functioning. Rather than trying to change you to fit societal expectations, I aim to help you make life work in a way that honors your unique ways of being.

Do you have a lingering sense of emptiness? A feeling that something is missing, but not sure where to start? Are you stuck in the past, anxious about the future, and unable to enjoy the present? Like you, I have been there. I know how hopeless it can feel. Struggling with relationships and connection is the main focus in my work, and I help individuals like you start to feel more secure in relation with others and yourself. We all have an individual blueprint of attachment, where we might feel a sense of constant anxiety within our relationships, or maybe feel a need to withdraw or detach.

I work with people navigating relationship patterns, personality dynamics, and the parts of life that don't respond to ordinary advice - the recurring conflicts, the high-functioning exhaustion, the sense that something underneath needs to shift but you can't quite name it. Most of what brings people to therapy isn't actually located inside the individual. It lives in a system - a couple, a family, a group, an organization, a culture - and the person carrying the symptom is often the one most attuned to what the system can't yet metabolize.

This provides the lens through which I view those in crisis, with anxiety, and trauma, as well as those navigating the impact of a parent or partner with Narcissistic Personality Disorder ( NPD).
For those who grew up affirming another's reality rather than being seen, therapy provides the secure base to finally trust your own perceptions. I focus on recovery from narcissistic injury and reclaiming the True Self. By loosening the grip of old ties and trauma bonds, we move your needs from secondary to vital so you can finally grow into your True Self.

I particularly enjoy working with clients heal and recover from narcissistic abuse, which is rampant in our day and age.
I help clients to become more aware of their behavioral and thought patterns by incorporating mindfulness into sessions. I also focus on processing core emotional experiences by honing in on the somatic location of emotions and learning to be fully present with whatever may arise. I also encourage clients to seek body-based treatments such as acupuncture.

Maybe you’ve been moving through your days on autopilot. You hold everything together for everyone else, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, tired, or unsure of who you are right now.

If you’ve been carrying more than you let on, you’re not alone.
