Therapists in East Boulder, Boulder, CO

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

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.

As your therapist I will work hard to provide you with the tools to overcome obstacles and reach your personal goals. Unlocking your potential will be our primary aim along with developing an awareness of how we create our own blocks. You will also work towards becoming more yourself as strange as that may sound! This involves getting in touch with your own psyche to discover, or rediscover, what makes you tick. It can be an incredibly rewarding process.

Our clinic serves low income individuals in Boulder and surrounding areas with quality & affordable mental health services. Our second & third year interns are supervised by a seasoned social worker and addiction counselor. We seek to serve those who are experiencing suffering whether that may be from mental illness, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief, spiritual questions or other issues.

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.

Do you and your partner suffer from communication problems? Did one of you have an affair and you are wondering if you can rebuild your relationship? Do you long for the days when you felt loved by your partner instead of lonely and in pain? Relationship stress takes a huge toll on your daily life. It can make it impossible to function at work, parent your kids and just get through your day. Studies show that a toxic relationship can even negatively impact your physical health. If any of these difficulties sound familiar, you are not alone. We all need to feel safe with our partner in order to be our best selves in relationship.

Do you tend to hold your feelings in? Sweep things under the rug and pretend everything is okay? Do you help others but not yourself? Does the idea of sitting down and talking about feelings to a stranger sound terrible or terrifying? I want to help you confront the difficulties in your life head on. It’s my job as your therapist to listen to you, your needs, your wants, and your values and create a safe space that will allow you to be fully vulnerable. I’ll help you find and learn about the strengths you already have to help you gain higher self-esteem, comfort in your own skin and in your relationships, and overall more joy.

I have had the privilege of helping residents of Boulder and Denver lead happier and healthier lives for 25 years. With 25 years of diverse training and experience, I am able to take a comprehensive, solution-focused approach to therapy.

I address the complexity of biochemical, emotional, relational, and behavioral factors that may be involved to help you see results faster. I also provide group support to improve mood and relationships, lower stress and resolve trauma.

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.

Accepting New Clients. You’ve come to the right place! Asking for help with your personal healing takes courage and strength. 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!

Deep down you feel unworthy and unloved, often seeking external validation or busying yourself to distract from truly dealing with the root of your issues. You may be challenged by quiet moments with your thoughts before swirling into negative self-talk, anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown. You desire to be more in control of your emotions but whenever you attempt to "figure things out" the spiraling and over-analyzing begin again, getting you stuck. On the outside you function just fine, but internally you are your harshest critic and believe you are a flawed human. Sometimes we need the guidance of another to remind us of our magic.
