Therapists in East Boulder, Boulder, CO

Today, a record number of people are feeling alone, stressed, and disconnected. Many find themselves struggling with relationships, emotional expression, low mood, diminished energy, and a lack of confidence. Sound familiar? I am honored to work with individuals seeking support to reduce stress/anxiety, navigate grief, loss, and life transitions, improve interpersonal skills and relationships, build confidence, and feel more connected to their joy and vitality. I also enjoy supporting parents and children in fostering healthy social-emotional skills and navigating the challenges of parenthood.

Childhood, teen years and young adult years are full of confusion, exploration and growth. Rather it be struggling with friendships, managing emotions, depression or anxiety symptoms or something unknown these things add extra stressors in this journey, sometimes challenging certain aspects or everything at once. This is where therapy can play a supportive role in exploring these challenges and discovering together what can be most supportive to help you or your child reach their goals and true potential.

Are you seeing your potential, while hiding in your den, afraid to come out? Holding back when you know you should speak your truth? Reeling, drooping, withering; feeling cut off from your life force? Being simultaneously fired up and burnt out by your life’s mission? Sensitive rebels, struggling misfits, activists, artists, mystics, badasses, and folks who want to go deeper than the typical talk therapy: we see you. We're here to support you.

Challenges are essential to growth. We all face challenges. The various challenges, crises, traumas we all inevitably encounter can create anxiety, depression, and disconnection. Unfortunately, labels and diagnoses can stop you from seeing that you are okay. As you are. Your felt experiences of hurt, when processed deeply, actually lead to self-discovery. Seeking help doesn’t mean that anything is necessarily wrong. In fact, expertise can guide you through these moments safely. Through somatic healing therapy, individuals and couples will find inner strength to start anew.

You may vacillate between highly anxious and just going through the motions: numb, disconnected, checked out. You feel overwhelmed with your daily life- tense, tight, constricted. Some days, even though you are trying your best, you blow up at the drop of a hat. Things that used to be easy make you feel anxious and fearful. You may feel like you are at the bottom of a well. Whether you know how you ended up here, or if you feel confused and uncertain, therapy can open doors to new ways of being that help you to feel like yourself again.

If you struggle with mastering your circumstances, they may end up mastering you. This is a reality we all face, but the time and effort required to do so can be overwhelming. My experience is centered around neurodivergent populations who struggle with emotions and executive functioning. I view each client with holistic, person-centered views of a unique and complex individual rather than just a diagnosis. As an abstract thinker, I specialize in helping you tie the pieces together in a new, autonomous and empowering way. I strive to be genuine and collaborative in sessions-- come talk to me about anything, I would love to listen!

If you are struggling with life transitions, relationships, or experiencing a sense of powerlessness and feeling disconnected, you are not alone. Together, we will explore how you can best heal and thrive!

My ideal client is someone who is struggling and needs support quickly. His/her/their issues could range with some mood dys-regulation to overwhelmed and stressed and/or dealing with trauma. Your goals would be to alleviate symptoms and obtain relief quickly, feel more balance and have more tools to help manage stressors. Perhaps, you are interested in gaining more awareness to your own thoughts, feelings, and sensations. My goal is to help people feel more emotionally regulated. I have worked in this field since 2008 and have a vast knowledge of strategies and techniques to use with you.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know and have witnessed that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being "normal" is often not the goal. I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individuals and couples & families relationship issues.

Psychotherapy is for everyone. You do not have to wait until your life falls apart to seek help. In fact, many of us will never experience a mental health crisis. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot benefit from therapy. Things are going well but you want to learn how to live your best life? Things aren’t going so great and you want to get back to where you were before Covid? Things went south and you really need some help? No matter where you are on this spectrum, therapy IS for you. Whether you are seeking Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy or traditional talk therapy, I’m here and ready to help. Let’s get started. You deserve this.

Accepting new clients: I focus primarily in three different areas; Helping people recover from Addiction/Alcoholism, Couples Counseling and Psychedelic Integration.

I can offer you a trusting, healing, judgment free space where you can be completely honest. Together we can figure out how you can best heal from this devastating affliction.

I offer a mindfulness-based approach for teens and adults. I provide a gentle, safe & nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, painful memories, grief, and limiting beliefs or self defeating patterns. Trauma work can help integrate lost parts of self to relieve anxiety, depression, anger, health concerns & PTSD. Using EMDR and body/mind methods, I help those feeling stuck find resolution and transformation. For grief work I use EMDR and Pathfinders, Comprehensive Grief Care. As a PACT therapist for couples, I help you improve communication, understanding & secure functioning to support connection and pathways to repair.

Healing is possible. Whether you are a young person in a process of self-discovery or an adult seeking more clarity and satisfaction in your life, I am here, and I am fully committed to supporting you. Life undoubtedly brings turbulent waves of pain that can leave us feeling empty, achy, and anxiety-ridden. These times of doubt, when held with loving attention and curiosity, can become potent opportunities to make way for transformational change. Perhaps, this support allows you to move towards what feeds your spirit, establish your footing in this world, and share your unique gifts.

Are you so done with the diet roller coaster, yet you still find yourself overeating, binging and trying to lose weight? After two decades of struggling myself, I can tell you what I figured out. I created a simple, 4-step method to help people end the struggle with food and weight loss that anyone can easily master for the lifelong food and body freedom you crave.

Trauma-informed couple, polyamorous, & LGBTQIA+ relationship counseling for communication challenges! Are you struggling with communication? Does resolving conflicts feel overwhelming? Maybe you’re thinking ‘we love each other, why is this so hard?’. Are you noticing that you are getting triggered and want to learn ways to work with emotions that arise in your relationship? Maybe it feels difficult to make space for everyone’s feelings and needs. Are you leaving conversation feeling unheard? Maybe it’s feeling hard to trust and you’re not sure where that comes from.

Being a human in the world is both an inherently beautiful and painful process. Grief, loss and trauma shape the ways that we approach our daily lives, and sometimes the pain that accompanies these experiences becomes more than anyone can manage on their own. We develop coping strategies in an effort to safely navigate the world, and occasionally these coping strategies become problematic or no longer work for us. Change can be hard and it can be scary, but it can also be exciting and fulfilling; my hope is to help create space to access the range of experiences that arise through the therapeutic process.

Struggling with identifying and asserting your needs? Or knowing what you want in your personal relationships, career, professional life? Feeling confused about who you are, where are you going and what you REALLY want? Feeling stuck? Unmotivated? Distracted and overwhelmed all at the same time? Having a hard time slowing down, feeling busy but unproductive, like you are not doing enough, or working hard enough, etc? Do you have an overly inense inner critic, that evaluates and judges every single thing you do? Longing for some time to pause, but also feeling deep inside fear of stopping?
