Therapists Beginning With B in Colorado

My passion of enabling individuals with special needs reach their potential. For the past 30 years, I have been working with people with all types of special needs-intellectual disabilities, head injuries, physical disabilities and dementia. Because I have seen both sides of the coin, being learning disabled with dyslexia and teaching special needs clients, I have a unique perspective that makes me effective in integrating people with special needs into their environment.

My focus is on working with adults who are transitioning through personal and relationship challenges. They may be learning to cope with painful events (divorce, infidelity, loss of a loved one, or life-limiting medical diagnosis). They may also be struggling with emotional suffering from recurring episodes of anxiety, depression, or trauma. My clients have self-doubt, excessive guilt, challenges accepting personal failures, or difficulty finding personal fulfillment or reaching life goals. They aspire to find comfort in their daily life, reduction in emotional suffering, have greater self-confidence, and have motivation to succeed.

Do you feel worried or discouraged, overwhelmed or numb? Do you feel anxious to be yourself or to navigate events happening in the world? Are you struggling to keep motivated or to navigate relationships, transitions, or stressors in life? I want you to know that you are not alone in how you are feeling and that I genuinely believe you can find healing and connection through engaging in therapy. I specialize in supporting adults, women, college, and graduate students navigating transitions or loss in life, self-esteem, anxiety, and/or depression. My work is grounded in nature-based, experiential, and somatic approaches.

I understand that the decision to work with a psychologist may feel daunting, and recognize that by doing so, you are taking a risk in choosing to share your vulnerabilities, possibly for the first time. I am aware that one may feel afraid to disclose some of their deepest insecurities in therapy and convey the utmost respect for this decision and appreciate how challenging the process may be. One may be thinking, “Where do I even begin?” You can rest assured that you are in a safe space with me, as my goal is to meet you where you are and to work together collaboratively. After all, two heads are better than one.

I have some limited openings and I am only accepting clients for OCD-related concerns and Tourette’s/Tic Disorders at this time. If you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, phobias, or social anxieties, I would be talk over the phone or sit down for a consultation to see if treatment with me may be helpful. I have worked with a variety of concerns in the past, but have limited my practice to OCD-related disorders and Tourette’s/Tic Disorders due to limited treatment availability in the area.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years and have experience ranging from early childhood to chronic adult, in a variety of settings including community mental health outpatient clinics, residential treatment homes and day treatment. I enjoy working mostly with children and their families to help them cope with a variety of issues such as behavioral and school related issues, peer relationships, family relationships, grief and loss as well as victims of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or other traumatic events. Although I see children of all ages, I specialize in early childhood.

Please note, I will be out of the office 4/17-5/5 and will respond to all inquiries shortly after my return! My work centers around supporting clients in accessing fully embodied living. I particularly enjoy working with adult clients who are navigating life transitions and identity development, individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as folks who would like to know themselves on a deeper level. I am a NARM therapist and provide consultation and supervision for clinicians and I am able to offer in-person services, as well as telehealth services to clients in 39 PsyPACT states.

Drawing from practices in innovation, positive psychology, and behavioral science, I’ve developed simple yet powerful techniques to help people change and grow. I’m the creator of the Stanford University class “Do It Anyway! Creating a life of passionate action” and the author of the book “Fail Fast, Fail Often: how losing can help you win”, an Oprah editor's choice selection. My work has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, and The Atlantic. As a therapist, I’m compassionate, warm and practical. I enjoy taking the time to understand and appreciate my clients, while empowering them with modern tools to promote rapid change.

Hey there! As someone who understands that life can get stressful and it feels like everything is piling up, we all deserve somewhere to be safe and heard. Therapy is a space that anxieties can be expressed, frustrations listened to, and emotions be validated.

Hello and welcome! As an LCSW therapist, I am committed to helping you find your path while ensuring you feel safe and supported in the process. My passion is working collaboratively utilizing person-centered and strengths-based approaches to explore the root of the issue and finding relief and clarity in a way that makes sense for you. Whether you are working through trauma, struggling with addiction, in the grieving process or simply needing support, I am here to work with you to achieve your therapy goals.

Are you seeking to change relationship, behavioral, or emotional dynamics that cause distress? Are you tired of feeling anxious, irritable, or down? Maybe you had a past traumatic event that is still affecting you. Regardless, you are ready to work through difficult feelings, thoughts, and or memories to gain insight into how they drive you and transform this insight into stronger relationships, better behavior choices, and regulated emotions.

Are you in a challenging relationship dynamic, dealing with anxiety, feeling unfulfilled, lacking purpose, or at an uncertain juncture in your life? I help you boldly shift limiting patterns to create the fulfilling life and relationship you want. I specialize in helping both individuals and couples optimize their relationship dynamics to open to more love. In couples work, we help you shift reactions you're having with each other that create closure and conflict, and create reparative experiences where you come to skillfully collaborate in helping each other feel good.

My work with the dying and their loved ones has inspired me to live more fully, it has reinforced my commitment to advocate and support people through grief. Conscious grieving is hard work, even knowing it's a natural process, our culture still denies it. Feeling isolated by grief is an experience that is meant to be supported. Being a witness for the "grieving hearts" is one of the areas of privilege in my life. I am truly deepened in my own journey because of this sacred opportunity to do this rich work with people.

As a therapist, I utilize a practical approach to assist clients in getting more of what they want and less of what they don't. I believe that successful therapy includes identifying the What, understanding the Why and developing the How to move forward. My clients want more from themselves, their relationships and their careers. I offer a guiding hand to help them map out their goals and explore the origins of their current behavior. Clients can expect to play an active role in transitioning their lives through goal setting, skill building and out of session activities.

Running faster doesn't help... If you're running in the wrong direction! Tired of feeling like no one gets it and nothing seems to change? Our relationship will be safe. A trusted, non-judgmental person that gives you the time you want and the tools you need. Together we will get you where you're trying to go. We'll focus on your unique circumstances to create realistic 'outside the box' solutions. I've had huge success helping people heal from the past and become un-stuck from repetitive negative patterns. Restore balance or create it, You are not alone!

My goals in therapy are to collaborate with my clients to help them reach their full potential and to improve their quality world. I look at my clients holistically and do not define them by the symptoms that led them to therapy. I am a Certified Sex Therapist recognized through AASECT, and work with clients on topics related to sexual identity/orientation, relationship structures, sexual dysfunctions, and kink/BDSM. I also work with clients addressing concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, and older adulthood/lifestyle changes.

Every individual is unique and has a distinctive perspective. There are many factors that contribute to the way we operate whether it is significant life events, relationships, or stressors. We are hard-wired to be in relationships with others. Relationships have a big impact on the way we are able to interact with others.

I believe most people are looking to feel connected. I see therapy as a space to explore the obstacles keeping us from connecting to other people, to our values, or towards our goals. I have a special interest in relationship issues and family of origin issues, which can often be precursors to depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, sleep issues, eating disorders, and a myriad of other mental health problems. I use predominantly psychodynamic methods in my clinical work and I believe that exploring our past is crucial in understanding and changing the present.
