Relational Therapists in 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.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

Stress, overwhelm, boundary confusion, communication issues, relationship struggles. I specialize in helping clients who long for change but feel mired in old patterns and unconscious habits and stuck in unhealthy relationships and situations that no longer serve them. Getting unstuck means cultivating a kind awareness of our unique internal experience, learning to know and trust who we are and creating healthy boundaries so that we no longer abandon ourselves. Doing so enriches all our relationships! I provide a mindful, creative and gentle safe space for clients to explore, transform and heal and then move forward in life.

Stress, Anxiety, Fear and Grief has been the norm for so many of us in recent years. My work is with families, individuals or couples who are feeling the weight of change. Whether the tremendous shock of a death, the ending of a relationship, a change in parenting, the loss of a pet, or a move or change in career- the experience of loss & subsequent grief is unavoidable. As a Depth & Analytic Psychotherapist with Trauma and body centered training, my focus is to create a safe transformative space for your healing & integration. Together we will discover how your pivotal experiences can positively inform your life going forward.

I specialize in helping people identify patterns that no longer serve them, gain insight into where these patterns began, and support them in breaking these mental, emotional, and behavioral habits so that they can live in greater alignment with their healthy Self. Ultimately, my goal is to help my clients understand themselves more deeply and feel more emotionally free in their lives.

Welcome! At the moment, I am only available for supervision. I work with clinicians who support both individuals and couples across a wide variety of issues, including marriage and relationship counseling, sexuality, trauma, psychedelic integration, anxiety, and depression.

My passion is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. Bringing another life into this world is an important and challenging experience. Whether you are the individual who gave birth or a witness, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that may effect your life. These paths are unique to each of us because every birth is important and impactful. My work is to listen and journey with you as you explore your birth story and the impacts it has had on your life. Although this is an area of focus, I work with adolescents and adults needing support in other areas of life.

Live Your Life On Purpose! It's not uncommon for us humans to move through the world feeling stuck & trapped by old habits and patterns, confused & lost amidst life changes, or disconnected & out of place in the world. I am passionate about guiding you in discovering and connecting with the deeper truth of who you really are and supporting you in transforming the habitual limitations and ties that bind, as you step into your own power and freedom to live authentically & on purpose. That essence is in each of us and our world needs us to truly be here now.

There is hope. Feeling stuck, pain, or discomfort is a natural part of being human, but the pain doesn't have to control your daily life. The challenges you face may stem from trauma, depression, anxiety, or the struggle to make a relationship succeed.

I would like to get to know you and provide a space where you can show up just as you are; where transformation and healing can take place. Together we will help you embody your strengths and internal wisdom to break unhealthy patterns and help you move forward.
