Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO
Are you feeling like you do not recognize yourself or are disconnected from relationships? Do you find yourself entrapped by negative cycles of thought or addiction? Do you feel broken or lost? Do you find yourself overwhelmed or struggling to motivate yourself? Do you want an intentional touchpoint to be able to be candid and vulnerable without fear of judgment or consequences? Do you want to explore the root of the issues? Any of these important questions are worth exploring with someone you trust! I would be honored to partner with you as you explore this healing work. It is my goal as a therapist to provide a safe environment to help in the exploration, processing, and solution-finding process. I believe each person is unique with their own background, beliefs, understandings, and lived experience. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and thoughts. One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help. Needing help does not make you weak, it makes you human. If you see yourself in any of the descriptions above, reach out by phone or email.
“Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone. I understand how hard it can be to ask for help. I believe that having someone in your corner to both validate and challenge you is essential to personal growth. Self-discovery is possible—piecing together the mosaic of your life to serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone.

I work with clients who are—grappling with the aftermath of a traumatic event, experiencing overwhelming anxiety that disrupts their daily lives, or struggling with strained relationships. I help clients find inner peace, regain a sense of control over their emotions, and rebuild healthy connections, ultimately aiming to reclaim their quality of life and well-being. I blend mindfulness-based strategies and somatic techniques into therapy sessions with my clients. Mindfulness fosters self-awareness and emotional control. Somatic practices aid in alleviating physical tension and addressing stored trauma in the body. Beginning the healing journey may seem overwhelming, but you're not alone. My door is open, offering a safe and understanding space as we navigate a road towards peace, resilience, and personal growth.
"These cycles keep ruining my relationships," "I feel disconnected from myself or others," "I can’t stop these thoughts from taking over my headspace," I believe you. How can I help? I approach therapy with a strengths-based mindset, systemic perspective, and holistic focus. I strive to understand how collective systems impact us deeply. You are the author of your story, and I am a resource to help you draft the next chapter. Connecting with yourself and others is difficult when thoughts, feelings, and past experiences impede the possibility of growth. I believe that therapy can help you gain clarity, acceptance, and compassion. It would be a gift to work collaboratively with you.
"It feels like I keep recycling old patterns, year after year." "My mind feels like it is constantly racing and I can’t seem to relax." "Issues from my past are interfering with my present life". I’m so glad you are here. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal. To choose yourself, by seeking out support, is the first step in living a content and fulfilling life. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to get to know you, learn of your unique story, and work together to find relief from the pain you have been experiencing in your daily life. I believe in a holistic and collaborative approach to counseling in which traditional therapeutic intervention can be most effective when coupled with appropriate self-care and meaningful connection to others. I aim to cultivate a warm, accepting, and safe environment to facilitate clients’ inner work and empower them to navigate their life with confidence, peace, and freedom I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which is an evidence-based approach to treat a variety of clinical problems, from complex trauma to concerns with self-esteem and relationship stress. With Eye Movement and Desensitization (EMDR) therapy we can reduce and eliminate disturbing symptoms in a shorter period of time, such as feeling tense, recurring self-defeating patterns of behavior that result in conflicts, preoccupation with worries, and sleep disturbances. In addition, you can get relief from unconscious patterns of surviving, such as attachment to substances, people-pleasing, or disordered eating. I may additionally pull from other therapeutic lenses such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to target unhelpful, critical self-talk, promote mindfulness, establish plans for resolve, and, ultimately, offer clients a sense of relief and empowerment. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to learn of your unique story and work together to find relief from the pain you have been experiencing. I welcome you to reach out by giving me a call or sending me a message.
Therapy is a journey where you learn more about yourself, your internal experience, and your loved ones in order to change your life based on your own goals and values. I can help you and/or other members of your family gain flexibility in your thoughts and actions through experiential skill development. At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional expression; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My goal is to create a warm and safe environment where emotions, thoughts, memories, and other internal experiences can be explored with compassion and understanding. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and interpersonal concerns using a variety of evidence based treatments. I have helped children, adolescents, families, parents, and couples approach their concerns from a family systems perspective.
