Therapists in Central Boulder, Boulder, CO

I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

I provide a therapeutic space where your healing journey is not just a possibility, but a reality. As a Certified EMDR therapist, my focus is on providing therapy for folks who reside in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Florida to navigate the complexities of anxiety and trauma rooted in aspects such as parenting dynamics, family history, and work-related burnout and stress. My approach to therapy diverges from conventional talk therapy methods. EMDR emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body. Additionally, I integrate "parts work" into my practice and draw from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed lens.

I am an open minded psychologist and meditation instructor specializing in couples, family and relationship therapy, individual therapy for anxiety, depression and life stressors for adults and children. I utilize an integrative approach including mindfulness and acceptance, family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic and narrative therapy in working with a wide range of clients and problems. I seek to meet clients where they are and understand their cultural contexts while helping them reach their goals. I am a kind, compassionate and motivating therapist that collaborates with clients to live their best life.

I am experienced at helping adults, children (including teens), and families. If you are having trouble with your feelings (anxiety, anger, depression), trouble with your relationships, or need help with your direction in life, call or email.

Psychotherapy is a window for self-discovery. For me, this process centers around the therapeutic relationship. In collaboration, I can help you better understand historical patterns, with yourself and others, while creating a contained, consistent, and reparative relational experience. Through this exploration, we look beyond what exists on the surface to understand and address the root causes of challenging thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This is how we can live our most authentic lives.

You're in the right place. Maybe things aren't working and you're looking for change...maybe you don't know what it is, but something needs to be different. You're wanting to feel understood and supported. Sometimes struggles and issues may be clear as day while at other times feel ambigous, uncertain, and ongoing. If you're looking for change, connection, and understanding, let's connect.

The emotional challenges you are facing in your relationships or your work signal the opportunity for your greatest growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional reactivity, loneliness, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions or low self-worth, I can assist you to make lasting change. Within our collaboration together, you can learn skills for self-soothing, find relief from emotional reactivity, and shift self-limiting thoughts to thoughts that help you thrive.

We are always, already in relationship. Whether it is a relationship to another person, place, or oneself, we are in some way connected to and affected by our surroundings. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partner or friends), and the greater context of society, and nature to illuminate your unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you. I'm here to offer my heart, love, guidance, resources and a safe cozy space for sharing and moving through what may be stuck or needing extra attention. I am here to wade through the gunk with you and also to help you see through and beyond it. At times that means I might direct and re-direct you away from the story, away from the chatter and the thoughts and into your body, connecting with your nervous system, with your sensations, with your authentic self.

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.

Do you "have it all together" on the outside, but on the inside, feel like you are falling apart? Perhaps you find yourself looking ahead to the next milestone or achievement–graduating college, landing a high-paying job, getting married–thinking it will bring you happiness…only to be let down when you get there and it still feels like something is missing. You are not alone. I specialize in working with driven, highly-motivated emerging adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

I am honored to work with humans feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding, we temporarily lose touch with the deep, innate wisdom of our souls + bodies. Life can feel chaotic and daunting - we question ourselves and even feel dead inside. If you long to experience belonging as your true self, I’m here to shepherd you back to safety in relationship with yourself, your body and others. I was brought to this sacred work through my personal experience of rising above trauma. I’m devoted to guiding others out of the depths of struggle and into fulfillment and connection.

All humans want to feel understood and accepted. But what happens when you don't? When you don't know what to do about all those "dumb" arguments or difficult people who don't "get it"? When you're stuck in an endless cycle of feeing bad/sad/mad and alone? This is the focus of my work with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, we will develop a plan for how to have more satisfying relationships. My approach is warm, direct and practical. Benefits to you are: feeling effective, respected and challenged to live your potential. Make your life make sense again. Contact me today!
