You're capable, thoughtful, and successful in many areas of life — yet something still feels fundamentally off. Arguments escalate faster than you want, or you go quiet afterward carrying a familiar weight of frustration, shame, or regret. You've built a life that looks right from the outside, yet the people closest to you still can't quite reach you. You're not falling apart. You're exhausted from holding it all together alone. You may be navigating recovery, fatherhood, life transition, or simply a growing sense that the way you've been doing things isn't working anymore. You're ready for something different.

Hello, I'm Blake, a therapist based in Boulder who enjoys helping people find more freedom in their lives. I use somatic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based modalities to help process challenging emotions and discover new ways of being in the world. My approach to therapy is embodied, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful of the whole person who is sitting in front of me. I have specialized and ongoing training in the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), a therapeutic technique that focuses on addressing attachment, relational, and developmental trauma (C-PTSD).

I work well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware people who sense that something in them wants to awaken. They may be moving through heartbreak, transition, or a loss of direction. Beneath the pain, they long for authenticity, connection, and inner peace. They want to understand themselves, heal old patterns, and live with more presence and purpose. They’re not looking for quick fixes—they’re seeking a deeper way of being alive.

"I can’t say no to others." "I always feel overwhelmed." "I can’t control my emotions." If you’ve ever had thoughts like these, you’re not alone. Living with anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, asking yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?” These experiences can create self-doubt and make you question whether change is possible. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it's about reconnecting with your authentic self, learning to navigate your emotions, and finding ways to feel more grounded, balanced, and confident.

My practice is about helping you connect to your most authentic self to create a more vibrant life. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just the ups and downs of life, and you've found that thinking or talking about it has not brought you sustained relief, then body-based psychotherapy might be perfect for you. In a world where we are increasingly told to "push through" and "tough it out" we can lose our connection to what we are feeling. When we connect to our feelings we can better recognize what we truly need, and take the steps to cultivate a life full of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

I consider my role as a psychologist to be one of great privilege. As I journey with others through the issues that have brought them to therapy, I often feel invited into sacred spaces, filled with suffering, pain, confusion, or one’s deepest longings of the heart. It is in these sacred spaces that there is also opportunity for change, for hope, for healing. My hope is that through the process of psychotherapy people will come to experience greater freedom and vitality, deeper capacities for love and creativity, and more meaningful and redemptive relationships.

Maybe you've done therapy before but feel stuck in the self-awareness loop and want actual change in your life. If you're ready to dive deep and break free from old patterns once and for all, let's connect.

I support personal growth and healing. I am passionate about helping people uncover their hidden inner genius.

Therapy is a collaborative process that combines self-knowledge, expanding awareness, and increased self-understanding with my training and abilities as an external guide. This partnership empowers you to achieve your goals, experience personal growth, and facilitate healing.
