Sexual Addiction Therapists in Boulder, CO
I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

The men and couples I work with are often struggling beneath the surface of success, numbness, or shame. Many carry unresolved relational trauma, experience low self-worth masked by overperformance or withdrawal, or feel stuck in patterns of codependency or compulsive behaviors. They may be facing the breakdown of a relationship and don’t know how to show up differently.
What they want is clarity, connection, and control over their own behavior. They’re tired of pretending, managing, or avoiding. Deep down, they’re longing for intimacy that doesn’t cost them their integrity, and strength that doesn’t require shutting down emotions.

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.

In my work at Alpine Neurotherapy, I combine the healing power of a safe and caring therapeutic relationship with qEEG informed neurofeedback technology. I consider qEEg neurofeedback technology to be a game changer in the mental health field for a few key reasons: 1) This technology gives us the ability to obtain objective data points or “biomarkers” in brain functioning which often represent root causes of symptom presentations 2) With this data we create individualized protocols that target the specific ares in the brain that will benefit from targeted neurofeedback training

Finding a therapist is like finding a good avocado at the grocery store:
If they’re available right now, something is probably wrong, right?
All jokes aside, let's face it, you don't want to be here, because therapist shopping objectively sucks.
You're probably going through hell right now.
That doesn't make you a failure, there is no shame in that.
That means you are human: a complicated bundle of bones and amino acids, eccentricities and aspirations, battle scars. But remember, at your core is a person who has access to courage, creativity, and wisdom capable of transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth.

Do you feel unsatisfied in relationships? Not seen, heard, or understood? Have difficulty navigating intimacy and communication? Is your sex life a source of distress? Are you hard on yourself about not being able to do things differently? I believe lasting change requires more than just talk therapy. Many of our wounds are stored in the body and we must speak the language of the nervous system in order to understand and heal them. Our work will address symptoms and stuckness at this level, which has the power to rewire habitual responses that formed around early attachment difficulties or trauma throughout the lifespan.

You’re holding it together on the outside, but something inside feels fractured. Maybe you’ve experienced betrayal, infidelity, addiction, spiritual abuse, or trauma you haven’t fully named. You want relief, but not a quick fix. You want real healing—something deeper, something that lasts. You want to understand why specific patterns repeat, how to regain trust in yourself, and how to build relationships that feel safe, honest, and connected. You're ready for a therapist who won’t flinch at complexity and can meet you where you truly are.

Life happens! I tend to meet people at one of two junctures: either a big issue has arisen that requires some change; or they find themselves simply dissatisfied with life as it exists (relationships, jobs, friends.)
Change IS possible- but most of us were not taught how to identify or remove obstacles, nor are we great at identifying the strengths that can get us there.

Psychotherapy is for everyone. We all have challenges that we face that we just can’t overcome on our own. Feeling stuck is completely normal and completely fine. Everyone feels stuck, and we can always ask for help getting unstuck. Sometimes it’s more though. Sometimes things fall apart and we don’t even know how to ask for help. That is normal too. Everything we experience is normal. And that means we can always heal. Regardless of where you are on this spectrum, therapy IS for you. Whether you are seeking Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy or traditional talk therapy, I’m here and ready to help. Let’s get started. You deserve this.

Showing up and doing love well with your partner is not always easy. Most of us did not receive an instruction manual. If you are struggling in your relationship, fear not, as there is hope. The way back to love, connection, and intimacy is possible, so long as you are willing to learn what supports doing love, and eliminate old patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve.
If you are ready to rediscover the love and connection that once brought you together, I can help. Let’s close the gap between what you are currently living and the love you know is possible to be lived together.
