Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

My practice is grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach that honors each person's unique experiences and innate capacity for growth. I also recognize how systemic influences shape our thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in compassion, curiosity, and self-expression.Together, we'll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), I offer both traditional talk therapy and art therapy. Art therapy is for everyone and can simply be another way of exploring what is difficult to put into words. Whether incorporating art, talking it out, or a combination of both, the therapeutic process is guided by your goals and comfort level.

​In 2015, I began my own therapy journey, and it truly transformed my life. Understanding myself better and gaining awareness of why I respond the way I do gave me a sense of control and empowerment that I had never experienced before. For the first time, I realized that I could change how I show up in my daily life, how I respond to challenges, and how I engage in relationships. This profound experience inspired me to pursue a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling, so I could help others feel the same sense of empowerment and growth. I prioritize creating a space where my clients feel heard, seen, and validated. When they're ready, I gently challenge them to increase their self-awareness, shift their perspectives, and focus on what they can control. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, and I use a combination of person-centered therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help my clients process trauma, manage anxiety, and build healthier thought patterns.

I work best with students who are balancing caregiving responsibilities with their own personal and academic goals. Many of my clients experience stress, burnout, grief, or feelings of isolation as they care for a loved one while trying to navigate school and life transitions. My approach is mindfulness-based, practical, and supportive, helping students develop coping strategies, set boundaries, and reconnect with their own needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, or the emotional weight of caregiving, I provide a space where you can feel heard and supported. You don’t have to manage everything alone—I’m here to help.

With an integrative approach to practicing therapy modalities, I have a professional focus centered on humanistic, experiential, and mindfulness styles. I utilize Person-Centered Therapy (Client-Centered/Rogerian), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Gestalt Therapy (Experiential), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential Therapy. I believe in approaching the therapy relationship in a collaborative and supportive manner to help facilitate the process of growth and change.

You might feel like you're always searching for the thing, the right practice, the perfect insight, the magic fix that will finally make you feel whole, real, or enough. You’ve read all the books, done all the self-help, and still feel stuck in the same patterns, disconnected from yourself and the world around you. Or maybe you’re painfully aware of all your struggles but don’t know how to move forward. Here’s the truth: you don’t need to be fixed. Healing isn’t about doing more, working harder, or becoming someone different. It starts with being, with slowing down, noticing, and meeting yourself with curiosity rather than criticism I help clients shift from doing to being by building non-judgmental awareness and self-acceptance. This becomes solid ground from which real change can emerge. Using mindfulness, relational and bodily awareness we’ll explore how to soften survival patterns, expand your capacity to be with yourself, and cultivate a sense of aliveness, connection, and trust. I offer a grounded, relational space where we move with our patterns, not against them. Together, we’ll explore how your nervous system has adapted to past experiences and how to build skills that work with your unique body and life. If this resonates, reach out for a free consultation.I’d love to connect. I meet virtually and accept Medicaid and private pay

I and a somatic trauma therapist enjoy working with first gen Americans, people of color, bicultural individuals, those who have developmental trauma, historical and generational trauma. Do you feel stuck and held back in your life? Perhaps you see the ways you are limiting yourself but do not know how to move forward. Do you have early on developmental trauma, relational trauma and social anxiety? And experience challenges seeing your own worthiness and sense of belonging? Reach out for a free 20 min consult. I would love to hear from you.

Are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps anxiety, fear, other emotions, or memories are preventing you from being your true self? Asking for help can feel intimidating, and at the same time everyone needs help at some point in their life. I am glad you are starting this process. I am here to work together with you on your concerns, issues, or perhaps the much needed space of a listening ear. I find it can be difficult to vocalize our emotions, share our story, or be our true selves due to many underlying emotions.

Welcome!! A seasoned therapist, I specialize in Complex Chronic illness (MCAS, ME/CFS, etc), perfectionism and people-pleasing, trauma resolution of all kinds (childhood, medical, sexual assault, narcissistic abuse). My approach is rooted in compassion and authenticity. I use advanced, effective modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, inner child healing, CBT, mindfulness.

Whether you are struggling with perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, can't get over your last relationship, or just don't know if you want to keep going at all...I'm here to help. I struggled mentally throughout my late teens and early twenties; carrying around a lot of shame, self-doubt, and difficulty understanding why it appeared so much easier for everyone else. As a therapist, I am here to listen--not just to your stories, but for the swells of deep feeling that can lead to healing. Together, we will uncover your false beliefs that may be causing unneeded suffering and learn to trust your inner voice as a guide and companion.

You don't need a crisis to reach out. Maybe anxiety is running the show more than you'd like. Maybe a transition, a change in direction, a decision you're not sure how to make, has thrown you off balance. Maybe you just need somewhere to unload without other people's opinions weighing in on it. I also work with people looking at their relationship with alcohol or substances, whether that means active (mis)use or just a feeling that it's worth a closer look. Sessions are practical and conversational. I keep things straightforward and focused on what's really going on with you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works primarily with adolescents and adults, with a particular interest in supporting college students and young adults. I enjoy working with people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, identity development, major life transitions, and the pressures that can come with academics, athletics, work, and figuring out what comes next. My approach to therapy is collaborative, active, and individualized. I draw from evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and trauma-informed approaches, while recognizing that therapy should not feel like a one-size-fits-all process. I work to understand both what someone is struggling with and the broader context of their life, relationships, values, strengths, and goals. I aim to create a space where clients can be candid about what is going well, what is not, and what they would like to change. Depending on a client's needs, our work may involve developing practical strategies for managing symptoms, understanding patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships, processing difficult experiences, or identifying ways to live more consistently with their values. My goal is for therapy to provide both a supportive relationship and meaningful, practical movement toward the changes that matter to each client.
