Therapists in Boulder, CO

We all contain the inner wisdom to heal ourselves and move towards being an authentic, positive and loving person. The courage to be vulnerable -by moving toward our pain and confusion as well as our joy- utterly transforms and frees us. I am honored to enter into the sacred space of therapy together with my clients. I use an integrative, trauma informed, and strength based approach combining empathy, mindfulness, and radical acceptance as well as a plethora of therapeutic tools (ie--imagery, parts work, role play, body/somatic awareness). I have a passionate social justice orientation and am experienced in a wide breadth of issues.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenging task. Each practitioner offers different styles and theoretical approaches to assist you in reaching your goals. You have taken the first step and hopefully you will be able to determine if I am the right therapist to help you. One of the most important aspects of the therapy process is connecting with your therapist and feeling safe in the relationship. There are many ways a therapist can create this environment, but the best therapy style is the one that works best for you.

Talk therapy for your intersecting identities. We are adept at navigating the difficult and complex conversations about your intersecting identities that can ebb and flow over one's life. In addition, we are committed to ongoing education and skilled at therapeutic intervention for psychological healing. By talking through the challenges you face, we collaborate with you to interrupt old patterned behavior and install new conclusions and behaviors that lead to constructive coping, personal growth, increased self-awareness, and feeling more comfortable within yourself.

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.

I have 40 years in the mental health field and have worked in the Boulder/Longmont area for 32 years. I provide psychotherapy to people of all ages (age 3 and up) and facilitate healing with a variety of approaches. I specialize in healing from trauma and utilize EMDR and Brainspotting, which I've found to be highly effective.

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 specialize in complex trauma-informed couples counseling and healing relationship issues. Couples come to me for help with communication, emotional and physical intimacy, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation. Individuals come to me for a deeper understanding of their relationship patterns. I support clients through life transitions: dating, premarital, couples/marriage counseling, family planning, and divorce. Romantic relationships start with yourself. My clients cultivate self-trust, self-love, and self-compassion. Love is everything it's cracked up to be and authentic connection is the most beautiful human experience.

I help clients regain vision for their lives through a holistic approach considering their physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and relational well-being. My approach has been described by clients and co-therapists as compassionate as well as practical. I believe that when people are able to live out of their strengths, they will experience a greater sense of purpose in life and in their relationships. My specialities are sexual issues and relational dynamics, life and career coaching, and trauma/grief. I have helped those suffering from sexual addictions, poor body image, anxiety, depression, anger, and attachment issues.

Are you worried that your preschooler's abrupt mood swings will be a problem when she enters kindergarten? Is your third grader easily frustrated, teary and self-deprecating over an inability to get things right? Are you discouraged because of your fourth grader's consistently angry and disrespectful behavior? Raising a child with difficult behaviors can be exhausting. . . As a play therapist and parent resource, I help parents have more harmonious and enjoyable relationships with their children.

Or maybe you're looking for individual therapy related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or another mental health topic. We'll work together to make things better for you. Using proven, research-backed therapy practices, we'll build a calm, secure space to work through and resolve the deeper issues that feel so overwhelming right now.

Are you a new mom coping with significant life changes? Are you dealing with stress, grief, or a unique challenge while parenting? Do you feel like your relationships and identity are shifting? Do you feel blah, exhausted, or lonely? I get how challenging parenting can be. Having a gentle, nonjudgmental place to explore deeper feelings and feel supported can lighten your load. Getting some time just for you, whether to talk things out, recharge, set goals, acknowledge your strengths, or see things from a fresh perspective can help you parent mindfully & joyfully and feel like yourself again.

I work with children and adolescents (ages 7+), adults, and families. I specialize with treating depression, anxiety, and trauma.

It's not easy to seek help for your child. I've been there. I've been a psychologist for 28 years, but I've been a parent for 24, and counting. As a child and family psychologist, I help young families develop skills and routines to support healthy relationships for years to come. Play therapy allows children to integrate difficult experiences, and move past the stuck points in which they (and their parents) often find themselves. And it even works to do it virtually!
