Transpersonal Therapists in Boulder, CO

Queer Asterisk consists of a team of queer and trans therapists and educators serving the LGBTQPIA+ communities in the Boulder/Denver area. We provide individual, couple's/relationship, family, and group therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and relationships of all configurations. We create safer therapeutic spaces for our clients to heal and grow. Our Peer Mentorship program, designed by queer and trans community members, offers an affordable supplement to psychotherapy. We also offer gender awareness and responsiveness trainings for organizations and health providers such as hospitals, schools, treatment centers & employers.

In the past twenty seven years of practice, I've come to deeply understand that we become who we are from two sources: our relationships and experiences. The beliefs we hold about our limitations, potential, and life's possibilities spring from our interpretations (and misinterpretations) of life events and from the people surrounding them. I help clients unpack their past and present experiences so they may understand how these are woven together; to heal self-judgements and negative beliefs that come from their past; and create compassionate, loving, and empowered relationship with themselves, and others.

I graduated from Naropa University in May 2015 with my Master's degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy. I work with children, teens, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem. I feel that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership, where together we will decide the pace, structure, and forms of expression that best suit the client's needs. I am primarily an art therapist who loves to help clients express themselves and their emotions in a healthy and safe way using art materials.

My approach is empathetic, compassionate, non-judgemental curiosity, with the belief, that with the right questions we can begin to discover the beliefs that effects your feelings, thoughts and actions and uncover your internal guidance that will give you the pathway in creating the life you desire. My own journey of deep self-exploration and inquiry from a young age added to 20+ years experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist has allowed for some mastery of this thing called life. It is my passion to work with others on their own unique life journey, through the challenging times that life can bring.
