Trauma Focused Therapists in Boulder, CO
You’re strong—but lately, you’ve felt overwhelmed in an overwhelming world. Whether you're navigating anxiety, past trauma, or a major life transition like becoming a parent, a relationship change or an educational endeavor, it can feel like too much to handle alone. I help adults of all ages find clarity, healing, and resilience using a holistic and individualized approach so they can move forward with confidence and purpose. “This isn’t about fixing you- we don't need to be fixed- but about helping you live your life with more ease and a greater sense of capacity to be with all of life's challenges.”

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.

They seek a virtual therapy space where they do not have to translate themselves and where their culture and story are understood with care and respect.

The breakdown is the final stage of your breakthrough.

My approach is an intersection of wilderness therapy, Daoist philosophy, trauma-informed mindfulness, psychedelia, tea ceremony, dark existential humor, and dozens of research-backed techniques and theory.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who are used to being competent and in control but want a place to examine themselves honestly.

They want thoughtful reflection, psychological depth, and a place to understand what’s driving their behavior so they can move forward with greater clarity, integrity, and choice.

You're coming to me, a couples therapist, because your relationship feels fragile, and - as much as you want them to - your partner doesn't feel like a home anymore. Something shifted – maybe suddenly, maybe over time – and now conversations stay on the surface or spiral into conflict, leaving both of you feeling alone. Trust feels shaky. You love each other, but you don’t feel secure anymore – and that uncertainty is exhausting. This is where I come in. I believe your relationship can heal, become loving and caring again, and offer the steady ground that anchors and frees you. And I can help you get there.

I work with women who have been made to feel like they are 'too much', shamed out of trusting themselves, and long to feel at home in their bodies. Maybe you have a history of sexual trauma that has left you feeling hyper vigilant of how you are perceived, stuck in shame and guilt, and find it difficult to trust your own body. Maybe you've done therapy before but feel lost 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.

You make sense and there is a way to connection and belonging. With a foundation of respect, kindness, and somatic trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a welcoming space for individuals and couples to move towards love, connection, and wholeness. With an awake heart, curiosity, and clarity, I help people find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Irish Celtic ancestry, I am a queer masc/femme artist and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and interconnection.

Therapy is one space to work together and unlock potential within ourselves. Finding a therapist can be similar to finding a mechanic. Discovering someone with the skills, honest assessments, and principled sense of value to get some work done.
I like a focused body-mind collaboration, where I support the work you do. I believe in the power of humor and seeing what works and tossing what doesn't, to build momentum while healing.
