Therapists in Southeast Boulder, Boulder, CO

I offer a collaborative approach that combines humanist and post-modern ideals with narrative therapy. We will explore your personal narratives, challenge limiting beliefs, and work towards growth and freedom. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, genders, and ages, especially older adults and those with chronic pain. If you are looking for a safe and supportive space to strengthen your relationships, overcome limitations, or embrace personal growth, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Let's co-create a new narrative that empowers you and your relationships.

SPIRITUALITY + THE NERVOUS SYSTEM | I take a mind-body-spirit approach to therapy. I believe we all have the innate capacity for healing, and by following the body's cues, it will show us how to do just that. I like to work with the nervous system: through big-T Traumas a little-t traumas, many of us are not as regulated as we could be. Reasons to work with me may include depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, spiritual emergency, insomnia, trauma, autoimmune issues, self-esteem, clarity of purpose, and deepening connection to yourself.

Many of us are starving to discover the truth, to show the world who we really are, and we need to have our truth held with compassion. We all want to experience being fully seen. We want to feel connected to others. Sadly, many of us don’t often experience being seen in a non-judgmental light. My strength as a therapist is in my capacity to recognize your preciousness and your capacity for wholeness, while helping you to align with your truth. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and groups to heal past wounds and evolve out of patterns of self-sabotage. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and depression.

Thank you for your interest in my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice, serving clients in the Boulder and Denver areas. I am a Colorado native returning home after working in Seattle for 12 years. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of challenges including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, chronic illness/pain, stress management, relationship problems, adjustment disorders, and trauma. I provide evidence-based treatments in a warm, client-centered environment.

I practice as a contemplative psychotherapist. I believe in the basic goodness of all people and join together with clients to reconnect that basic goodness back into their conscious life. I assist individuals, couples, families, and groups in finding their next steps. I know that transformation is possible and healing can take place even under the most dire situations, feelings, and ways we are conditioned to think and act. I am slow paced and create an atmosphere of warmth, trust, and safety. I am available mornings, late afternoon and early evenings Monday through Thursday.

Courage, compassion and creativity are within each of us: It is my honor to support you to connect with real tools and skills that you can use in every aspect of your life; work, family, friendships, and love relationships. I work best with someone who is cautiously optimistic about their journey and who is willing to build a strong, supportive path to journey toward their goals. You don't have to be confident when we start...but I believe you will be before we're through. We will partner together to help you achieve balance, hope, strength and recovery!

I will help you gain a more profound understanding of your experience, a deeper connection with self and others, and a recognition of your individual and relational values and beliefs. I will guide you toward greater self-worth so you can ask for and have the rich life and meaningful relationships you want and deserve. I work with all kinds of clients in all kinds of configurations. I meet with individuals, couples, and families, and I like to work with clients across time. I will offer you support as your life unfolds.

In a failing relationship, or failing to succeed in your professional or academic pursuits? Call me today to reclaim that meaningful relationship you desire, or to begin experiencing success in your vocation or studies. I have spent over 30 years helping people develop, maintain, and revive meaningful long-term relationships, and to achieve success in their work and studies. With my training in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling, Psychoanalytic and Depth Psychotherapy, Biofeedback and Neurofeedback training, I can help you.

I enjoy working with motivated individuals who want to see change. I work with both individuals and couples/Poly/CNM who are navigating challenges in their lives or their relationships. Maybe you've found yourself feeling disconnected from your partner(s) or having the same fight over and over again. Or maybe you feel like something isn't working in your life but you just can't put your finger on it. I love helping clients explore where they're stuck and collaborate with them to find creative solutions.

Providing individual psychotherapy and counseling services, as well as group therapy, couples therapy, family therapy and therapy for kids and teens. Beginning with a foundation in men's mental health and advocacy, we've grown to provide therapy for all genders, orientations and walks of life! Whether you're looking for community in a men's group, couples counseling to save your marriage or individual therapy to address long standing childhood traumas, we can help!

Maybe you've been feeling anxious, depressed or your relationships are struggling. Feeling overwhelmed from depression, PTSD or anxiety can negatively affect your job, your confidence and your ability to be present on a daily basis. You might be thinking - "Nobody knows what I'm going through" - or have thoughts telling you - “You are not good enough.” Maybe you've felt lost and hopeless. You do not have to go through this alone.

Mental health conditions that I specialize in treating include major depression, generalized and performance-related anxiety, bipolar, adjustment disorders. Symptoms often appear as disturbances in mood, emotional regulation, thought processes and behavior. Mental and physical health are interconnected where physical health is an integral part to mental health treatment. When physical activity is incorporated into therapeutic treatment, self-efficacy is strengthened. I offer individuals and families a program that combines therapy with an add-on of exercise.

We specialize in helping individuals and families with long-term healing and recovery from addiction, behavioral compulsions, mental health challenges, and other acute, chronic and relapsing illnesses. We practice Invitational Intervention®, ARISE® Continuing Care with Intervention, which is Evidence-Based and proven to be effective. We match the Certified ARISE® Interventionists to the specific needs of the client and the family and are well connected to the best treatment centers across the country. We offer consultation, case management, safe transportation across transitions (geographic, family relationships and emotional), coaching, companionship (sober and mental health companions), placement and treatment advice and intervention.

Do you struggle with motivation, decision-making, shame/guilt or direction? Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Do you struggle with substance abuse? Are you going through transition and struggling to find your own genuine direction? Are you nervous to ask for help? Are you concerned therapy won't be effective? Beginning treatment is a big decision and finding an effective and compassionate therapist that can ease your transition into therapy is very important. I have a warm, genuine and direct approach and believe you will find our work together will be deeply effective and the results positive and lasting.

Everyone deserves the best life has to offer. I strive to give my clients the information, insights and tools they need to make the most of their lives. My approach is very eclectic, but draws heavily upon my own life experiences, cognitive behavioral and existential theories.

My expertise comes from over 26 years of experience as a licensed professional helping individuals navigate changes in their lives, deal with traumatic events, and cope with the difficulties of day-to-day life. Sometimes our worries and sadness can feel consuming. In my practice the goal of treatment is to help manage feelings of anxiety, depression and pain so that you can work towards a more satisfying and productive life. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as adults, catering my approach to the individual needs of the client.

I have been in practice since 1988, dedicated to helping my patients to understand the causes of their problems and to regain mastery, control and well being in their lives. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, chronic illness and pain management. I also specialize in the diagnosis of cognitive problems and dementias associated with Alzheimer's Disease and other disorders.

Schedule now through my website in my bio! You should be SO proud of yourself for taking steps towards change in your life! You may be here because you're exhausted from doing it all on your own. Maybe you feel life transitions and changes are causing overwhelming symptoms of depression and anxiety? Are you seeking a professional to help you with integrating radical healing and medicines, in a safe manner? You need a space for you to honor and process the experiences that have made you into the person you are today. Let me help you navigate the changes to come and the behaviors that no longer serve your genuine self.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.
