Trauma Focused Therapists in Boulder, CO

I am a master's level clinician who offers professional treatment of the family system. Within my private practice, sessions focus on individuals, adolescents, families, parenting, behavioral issues, addiction, & any issues causing strained relationships which negatively affect the home environment. I use a unique mixture of humor, directness, relatability, & acceptance to provide a safe environment with my clients. In a non-judgmental space, one’s inherent strength & mindfulness can submerge. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients find tangible ways to obtain their individual versions of positive change.

What’s holding you back from the life you want to be living? Do you feel stuck in old patterns? Uncertain about where and how to make the next step? As your therapist, my goal is to help you access untapped healing in your inner experience, making space for new insight and wellbeing to emerge in the present. I offer safety, grounding, and gentle guidance through the process of (re)connecting with your authentic self. Together, we can shed limiting coping mechanisms, strengthen your inner compass, and open the path to a meaningful, sustainable way of being.

I believe we all possess deep inner wisdom that requires careful nourishing and intention to access more fully. For many people, this means transforming trauma into awakening by diving inward to discover what is beneath the surface. For others, it means taking personal growth to a deeper level and facing hard things in order to unlock potential. I am here to support your evolution toward a more meaningful, mindful, and connected existence.

There are times where life presents tremendous challenges that can feel and seem insurmountable. Childhood wounding, insecure attachment, abuse, discrimination, divorce/separations, existential crisis, and transition to motherhood can be overwhelming. Often our family, friends, and larger community, if we are connected to them, do not know to help or are compromised themselves and cannot. This is when the proverbial "sh*t hits the fan." In some larger way, we might be able to see what is happening as an opportunity to grow, but what has happened or is happening is so painful we need strong support to get through and grow from it.

I specialize in treating the emotional and psychological impact of relational trauma. Traumatic experiences within the context of a close relationship can profoundly impact our sense of self, ability to trust, and safety in future relationships. My therapeutic philosophy is to increase awareness of your pain points, address them therapeutically, and empower you to move toward healing and resolution through engaged and active treatment. Across my decade experience, I have worked with clients to courageously address what they have been through to get to where they dream of being- a fulfilled, connected, rich, and dynamic future.

I work best with clients who are not only wanting to resolve their issues, but who also have some abiding interest in inner exploration and self-discovery. In my experience, if we only approach therapy with the mindset of needing to fix, therapy can become heavy and mechanical. Even if we are working with difficult subjects, therapy is meant to engage a part of us that loves to know the truth about ourselves. When this happens, it is as though a flame lights up in us, which fuels our passion for self-inquiry. Then, therapy becomes more like an adventure, which can be very enjoyable, meaningful, and expansive.

Many of the clients I work with recognize the soul even if they call it something else like spirit or Self. Regardless of what we call it, we often arrive at crossings in life where that core is lost, buried, or suffering. These are painful revelations, with subtle and sometimes disturbing pleas from the soul for a return to adventure, more imagination, trauma sensitivity, exploration of sharing our gifts-and living a more meaningful life. Combining the insights of Jungian psychology with the mapping of the archetypal quest, dream and process work, and Brainspotting...

It’s hard being a human! And sometimes we need help figuring things out. Each of us desires contentment and fulfillment in our lives, but it's hard to access when we don't know what we don't know: what's really in the way?, and why does it keep showing up?what can I DO about this situation?, and who am I? These questions become increasingly loud during major life events, such as divorce, death, marriage, a career change, etc. We ALL experience this pain and confusion, but the good news is, you're not alone.

Are you feeling stuck, stressed or simply don't feel as good as you would like to? How can you change the way you feel, think and experience life? Most people are creatures of habit and once they settle into a repetitive pattern, find it daunting to move out of it. Unconscious conditioning is a powerful unseen player that creates repetitive patterns which greatly affect your quality of life. I help you access your unconscious patterns and reprogram them, freeing your intrinsic health, wisdom and zest for life.
