Therapists in Boulder, CO

I am, first and foremost, a highly trained Christian Therapist. For over thirty years I have worked with couples, individuals, and families helping put an anchor back into their lives. As a Marriage and Family Therapist who is licensed in both Colorado and California, I have two Masters degrees: a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Masters of Divinity (a three-year ministerial academic training) both earned from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California that has been coined “The Princeton of the West”. I use a "systems" approach to marriage and family therapy which means I view each person as part of a whole.

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.

I'm an experienced trauma and grief therapist. I work with my clients in ways that support the "why" and "now what?". PTSD, meaningful life, crash of who you were; medical trauma; disaster; life passage; divorce; relationship; dysfunctional family; abuse; grieving who you were. Who are you now? Settling for feeling devastated, angry, sad, betrayed? Lost, stuck, overwhelmed, disbelieving, shamed, confused, depressed, anxious? Stressed. panicking, self-harming, isolating? Not yourself? Or sort of curious about parts of your Self? LPC, Ph.D. + 2 Masters degrees (Early Child. Ed. and Counseling Psychology). I work creatively WITH you.

Relationships are an important part of the foundation of our lives, both the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationship we have with others. The relationship we have with ourselves can be challenged by internal conflict, feelings of being stuck, and fears that stops us, causing our lives to be unsatisfying. Since we 'live' in all 3 time periods, the past, present, and future, we want to make sure that our past 'stories' are not interfering in our present lives. And then by understanding what our fears are, we can have a better view of the future. Overall, we can become more present. Secondly, the relationship we have with others is influenced by how we're doing, so getting our own 'house' in order will help us be better in relationship! We can experience less defensiveness and more openness. Counseling is an unique opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and others. It's an opportunity to pay attention to parts of ourselves that we try to ignore. It's also an opportunity to have the life that you want and deserve.

Welcome! My practice offers support and assistance for those struggling with life's challenges. Life can be tricky sometimes, and we can find ourselves at a crossroads. We are taught to keep going, hoping things will get better on their own. We often repeat the same cycles, hoping for different results, without significantly changing our behavior. After a substantial loss or a painful event, many try to normalize their feelings without resolution. Avoiding these issues only adds to further stress, depression, insomnia, and anxiety. The good news is that you can be content and live the life you deserve.

I consider my role as a psychologist to be one of great privilege. As I journey with others through the issues that have brought them to therapy, I often feel invited into sacred spaces, filled with suffering, pain, confusion, or one’s deepest longings of the heart. It is in these sacred spaces that there is also opportunity for change, for hope, for healing. My hope is that through the process of psychotherapy people will come to experience greater freedom and vitality, deeper capacities for love and creativity, and more meaningful and redemptive relationships.

Feeling stuck, depressed or dealing with anxiety? Maybe you're thinking about a life without substance use. Perhaps you're considering a career change or just feeling unhappy. Many issues stem from entrenched, automatic patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. Creating a meaningful, rich, satisfying life starts with awareness. Without awareness of our patterns, we remain perpetually stuck in our old ways. You can develop awareness and the personal insight necessary to work toward improved functioning and increase quality of life.

Welcome! As we work together I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do, in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities. Individuals and couples. (No insurance for couples)

Are you stressed out and overwhelmed? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, your relationships aren't satisfying? Are you struggling to adjust after a major life change? I am here to help. I am passionate about guiding you in developing long-lasting solutions to live the life you’ve always wanted.

As both a therapist and a fellow traveler of life, I know the complexity and challenges of being a human in this world. I believe our identities are our most precious assets, despite what society has conditioned us to believe. Because of my own queer identity, I am particularly delighted to support folks who identify as queer/LGBTQ+. My work is centered around helping clients reconnect with their inherent worth, heal the impact of the past, and learn to regulate. I will help you explore the life experiences and narratives that challenge you showing up exactly as you are, and guide you towards the healing and wellness you deserve.

In working with you, my goal is to create the environment in which you most readily evolve into a growth-enhancing experience. My approach is to work with you in your cultural and historical contexts respecting your individuality without trying to fit you into a theoretical orientation. Our goal in working together is to increase your awareness of your needs, behavior patterns, and responsiveness to yourself and the world around you in order to further fulfill your innate potentials.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience specializing in infant and early childhood mental health and development, and perinatal mental health. I specialize in providing attachment-based child-parent interventions for infants, toddlers, and young children (birth – 6 years). I work with families to navigate challenges in behavior, mental health and development, while supporting emotion regulation, healthy attachment, reflection, and strengthening parent-child relationships. My approach is eclectic and tailored to each individual family, stemming from psychodynamic and evidence-based therapies.

Have you been curious about deepening your therapy experience in a creative way? Through a collaborative and relational approach, I support teens and young adults in their healing process through art therapy. Art therapy can serve as a way to process emotions, gain insight, and work with troubling material to give you the opportunity to work with it in a new format. My ideal client is someone who is ready and willing to gain self awareness, is hopeful for change, is open to creative therapy, and is seeking support with struggles such as trauma, depression, anxiety, family dysfunction, and self destructive behaviors.

I assume serious intent to address whatever brought the patient to my office in the first place. It is my hope to form the most positive therapeutic alliance possible. The first step is to acknowledge the courage it took to make the call. I have been practicing as a licensed Clinical Psychologist for thirty years. I have also served as a faculty member at the University of Colorado Boulder for over twenty years. I mostly see chronic depressed and anxious patients I .have worked across the spectrum from imminently suicidial to the broader existential issues concerning a more meaningful life.

Struggling in relationship? Whether these connections are with the self, others, or substances; I would like to offer you a true reflection. With expertise in mindfulness-based art-therapy, counseling, and addiction recovery; I can help you to understand outdated patterns of behavior and set attainable goals for healthier connections. Life is the most challenging but rewarding we do. Let's collaborate together for balance, sustainability, and fulfillment.

Are you living the life you want? I use Gestalt, Existential, psychodynamic, body-oriented, group, couples, and family systems therapy as a way of looking at underlying issues. The aim is personal transformation and more creative living. I have a background in working with addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, self neglect, and abandonment issues. We will focus on self-care, life transitions, self-expression, and support for an abundant life. I especially like working with people where they feel stuck and unable to move forward. My overall approach involves helping people move from the spirit of seriousness to the spirit of play.
