Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

With over 27 years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationships, work burnout, and anger. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, ensuring personalized and effective care. I take pride in meeting clients where they are on their journey. As a military veteran, I am honored to work with fellow veterans. I also hold deep respect for the Native American community, having spent 15 years serving on a reservation before moving to the Denver area. Therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to face life’s challenges. When things feel overwhelming and what used to work no longer does, I’m here to offer nonjudgmental support. Choosing the right therapist is important, and I’m committed to creating a safe, validating space where you feel understood and never face struggles alone.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping adult and adolescent patients dismantle shame and live a joyful life as their fullest, most authentic selves. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Health At Every Size (HAES) and social justice-aligned principles, with a focus on those struggling with eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, and anxiety, as well as specialty work with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Jewish-identifying clients. No matter the struggle, I view each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms and diagnoses, taking a trauma-informed approach to help you develop greater self-esteem and self-efficacy. If you are interested in working together, please reach out and schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you! Working together, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment that supports you in your journey toward greater mental health. I utilize a mixed-therapy approach to help you gain greater self-awareness and act in a way that’s best aligned with your goals and values. These therapies include DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as well as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been committed to helping adolescents and adults break free of patterns that have been keeping them from achieving their goals. I view each client as the expert on their own lives, and enjoy providing them with tools that lead them toward building the lives they want and deserve. I can often be found hiking, skiing, or relaxing outside in my free time. When I’m indoors, I enjoy reading, cooking, weightlifting, and rooting for the Colorado Avalanche.

From a young age, I always had a passion for helping and supporting others. No matter your struggle, I see the human being in front of me, not a label or diagnosis. My vision for our work together is tailored to you and concentrates on your unique, individual needs. My office is a judgment-free zone, so let’s roll up our sleeves and finally talk about the things you've been carrying in silence. I not only accept all, I embrace all. I can’t wait to get started with you! My clinical background centers around the most common mental health concerns you might be facing, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems with effective communication, life transitions, anger management, parenting support, body image, gender identity, and support around coping skills. My therapeutic approach values solution-focused care, challenging your beliefs and way of thinking while building a warm and safe space through humor, collaboration, empowerment, and rapport. I also specialize in sex and relationship therapy for individuals. Having seen the impact of stress on sexual minorities, I know firsthand the importance of finding a therapist who embraces the complexities of sexuality and diverse relationship styles. The most common sex therapy concerns I treat that folx bring in are gaps in desire, sexual functioning issues, sexual behavior that feels out of control (commonly referred to as “sex addiction” or “porn addiction”), and many more. No power dynamic, fetish, kink, fantasy, behavior, or desire is too much for us to discuss together. I am also proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the sex worker community. You are safe here. Outside the office, you’ll often find me photographing the Colorado sights or reading in the mile-high sunshine. And, of course, daydreaming about future travel plans abroad!

When will I stop feeling like I’m always in survival mode? How do you figure out the unspoken rules of a world that never handed you the instruction manual? Do I fully understand myself and my needs in the ways that I would like? Is my relationship feeling healthy, stable, and connected? I offer empowering, trauma-informed therapy in Colorado, providing affirming care for Queer & Neurodivergent folks alongside support for a range of mental health and life experiences for individuals and couples. My approach honors your unique story, creating a safe space for processing, understanding, and growth. I commend you for seeking support and looking out for you and your needs. I aim to be a therapist that 'gets it,' one that shows up, listens, hears you and can understand. I encourage sharing about your current obsessions, interests, passions, and experiences, as I believe these are all valuable parts of yourself. This is your space to be your true, authentic self, and I work to create an environment that feels safe and easy to settle into. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I bring lived experience and am especially passionate about working with these communities. I specialize in working with folks with Trauma & PTSD, Relationships, Autism/Neurodivergence, Self Esteem and Body Image, Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, and Identity. I am also kink aware and polyamorous/non-monogamous informed and aligned. I work with a variety of other support areas as well and I'm committed to meeting you exactly where you're at. The types of treatment I utilize greatly depend on the person or persons served and their support areas, what feels most aligned with their values, and how structured clients would like their sessions to be-many times an eclectic approach works best- with a little humor sprinkled in too, if it's helpful. I have openings for new clients! Let's chat and see if it's a good fit. I'm currently scheduling virtual sessions. I take insurance as well as private pay, and have a sliding scale if needed. I also offer other insurances not listed, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with young people to understand and disrupt unhelpful patterns, better cope with challenging situations and discover greater ease, self-acceptance and healthy expression. I am committed to serving students in all content areas to navigate pressure, the pursuit of excellence and transition to career. It is important to me that LGBTQ+ people feel safe in the therapeutic space. I often help clients navigate grief, complex trauma or anxiety and I offer unique therapeutic perspectives when supporting those processing childhood rejection, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, university stress, or careers in the arts. My clinical practice is informed and enriched by my career as a professor, director, and administrator in the performing arts. I have directed or taught theatre courses at some of the most well-regarded theatre programs in the country, including Juilliard, Yale School of Drama, and NYU TISCH School of the Arts. As a therapist, I create a space for you to bring your whole self, feel safe, respected and understood as well as learn new skills and take on new perspectives. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy, instead I tailor therapy to your individual needs. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, relational, and trauma-informed strategies, while also integrating expressive arts and movement or somatic lenses when useful. And I always offer a steady and reliable presence. Clients who work with me gain a more accurate understanding of what is really going on for them, and make positive changes in their thoughts, assessments and actions, resulting in greater satisfaction and functioning in their lives. I’m honored to support you in your therapeutic journey!

College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed. I believe therapy should be a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to thrive. I work with college students navigating anxiety, stress management, ADHD, relationship issues, queer and racial identity, and executive functioning. Together, we’ll build self-awareness and practical strategies that fit the way you think, learn, and live—while helping you develop healthier habits, stronger boundaries, and more meaningful connections. My approach is grounded in equity, inclusion, and cultural humility. I’m committed to understanding you within the context of your identities, experiences, culture, and relationships. Whether you’re struggling to stay organized, figuring out who you are, navigating relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build the skills and confidence to create a life that feels like your own. Reach out for a Free 15-minute Video Consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I am a patient-centered and trauma-informed clinician committed to helping adults, children, and teenagers navigate mental health struggles. I specialize in identity, trauma, and queer issues, along with self-esteem challenges, anxiety, and depression. Working together, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative environment tailored to your unique needs and preferences to ensure comprehensive, customized care. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and narrative therapy to help you explore your inner worlds. I believe in your expertise in your own life, and that will be a core part of our work together. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward healing and self-discovery. My path to becoming a therapist began with previous work in public policy and advocacy. This insightful experience deepened my commitment to providing holistic, systems-informed care, where I bring an understanding of the many systems and circumstances that impact patient lives to each session. Outside the office, I can often be found hiking or biking in the mountains, enjoying live music, or at home cooking a good meal or cozied up with a good book.

As a clinical therapist with a focus on holistic mental health care, I work with individuals who want to feel more balanced, grounded, and confident in their lives. Whether you’re navigating stress, life transitions, emotional challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I offer a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore what’s holding you back and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more self‑aware, empowered, and connected to what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose—at a pace that feels right for you. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s built on trust, understanding, and genuine human connection. In our work together, you can expect a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where curiosity, honesty, and growth are encouraged. I use evidence‑based, person‑centered approaches while remaining flexible and responsive to your unique needs and goals. I strive to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as a grounded, empathetic partner in your healing process. No matter what you’re facing, my aim is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. My journey into mental health care grew from a deep desire to help others, combined with an interest in research surrounding Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in former athletes. This background strengthened my commitment to holistic, trauma‑informed, and compassionate care. Today, I bring openness, empathy, and a nonjudgmental perspective into every session, creating a space where healing, reflection, and growth can truly take place. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy playing guitar and spending time outdoors in beautiful Colorado. I’m also a big sports fan and enjoy supporting local teams and collecting memorabilia—interests that often help build natural connection and rapport with clients.

As a trauma-informed, relational therapist, I help adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by grief and trauma. My style is trauma-informed, somatic, and collaborative, integrating my background as a certified yoga teacher for holistic, well-rounded approach to care. Many of my patients are caregivers, people-pleasers, or highly sensitive individuals who struggle to prioritize themselves, feel safe in relationships, or rest in their bodies. They want relief from emotional intensity, a deeper sense of self trust, and more meaningful connection. Together, we focus on nervous system regulation, processing loss, and building relationships that feel supportive and authentic. Working together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment that incorporates relational and trauma-informed approaches to help you feel understood, find clarity, and move through challenges at your own pace. My style is gentle and collaborative, with therapy tailored to your unique needs and goals, as I’m passionate about helping you feel safe in your body, trust your inner wisdom, and build authentic, supportive relationships. My path to becoming a therapist began with the belief that each person’s story deserves to be heard and honored. This belief allows me to meet people where they are, ensuring a welcoming space to all patients. Outside the office, I love keeping my mind and body active through hiking, teaching yoga, reading, and perfecting my baking skills.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPPC) specializing in relational and holistic wellness-focused psychotherapy for individuals. As a psychodynamically oriented clinician, I believe that my role is to support patients in recognizing patterns of being that may be causing distress, exploring the roots of these patterns, and finding paths toward freedom from them. I often hold a focus in treatment on exploring many domains of life – relational, cultural, physical, spiritual, and more – as I believe that true healing encompasses all parts of self. Among a wide variety of mental health concerns, I particularly enjoy working with patients navigating relationship issues, chronic nervous system dysregulation, neurodivergence, and systemic-related challenges. I believe that it is truly an act of strength to seek support, particularly amidst chaos throughout the world today. If you find yourself resonating with my approach to therapy, I hope you feel empowered to reach out. Stemming from a background in biochemistry, I focus on caring for the whole person, taking into account the complex and symbiotic relationship between body and mind. My approach is authentic, creative, and integrative, focused on increasing access to affirmative mental health care while creating a space of radical acceptance in the therapy room. Working together, you can expect an intentional and collaborative environment that is tailored to each unique person. Paired with processing of core life events, I use present-oriented techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and individualized coping skill-building to create lasting changes in your daily experience. My path to becoming a therapist began upon experiencing a deep level of change in my own life through therapy. At the same time, I began to foster an interest in human behavior, connection, and meaning making through my education. Altogether, it became incredibly apparent to me that to be human is to be vulnerable, and I'm grateful to share this vulnerability with the patients I work with. This interest, combined with my therapeutic journey, allows me to bring a perspective of resiliency, curiosity, humor, and appreciation for the absurdity of life to each session. In my free time, you can find me perusing a vintage shop, hanging out with my cat, listening to live music, or working on an abstract painting. I also enjoy reading transgressive fiction novels, poetry, and engaging in social justice, advocacy and awareness projects.

I help people whose mood, trauma, anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts are controlling their lives learn to cope and feel in control again. Seeking therapy can be a scary step, but I'm excited to say that you don’t have to manage life's difficulties alone. In therapy, I will support you in learning what your body is communicating through sadness, panic, insecurity, grief, and hopelessness. We can explore a variety of ways to process, as well as coping skills that match your life and who you are. I believe that we are experts of our own experiences, and my role is to guide you toward healing while honoring your personal values. I practice EMDR and have expertise in a variety of areas, including trauma, addiction, substance use, and the LGBTQIA community. Whether it's the big life altering traumas or the day-to-day difficulties and systems we navigate, there are ways to move forward and find hope. I hope to work with you soon!

Our work will focus on reclaiming your personal power, living as an expression of your values, and growing your capacity to create change in your life. One of my guiding beliefs as a therapist is that you already possess the strength, ability, and innate qualities needed to evolve; I am here to help identify and remove the obstacles standing in your way. In therapy, we create a space to discover realistic solutions to problematic patterns and learn coping skills that produce lasting change to create your “best life.” My desire as your therapist is to offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to show up as your authentic self. I use an evidence based therapeutic approach to construct healthy solutions to life concerns. I utilize my professional skills for treatment, but also lean on my personal experiences of grief and loss, trauma, the intricacies of couple and family relationships, hopelessness and conceptualizing a sense of purpose and identity.

The answers to your healing already reside within you. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support you in uncovering the path to success. No one understands your needs for growth and transformation better than you do. As a therapist, my role is to assist you in navigating your unique journey and offer tools that can guide you towards the healing and growth you seek. I firmly believe that each person's life path and requirements are distinct, shaped by their individual experiences and intersectionality. I strive to create a therapeutic experience that is tailored to each client, provide support, and foster achievable goals. Adopting a holistic approach, I collaborate with my clients to help them achieve healing. During our sessions, I aim to create a safe, creative, compassionate, and accountable environment. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Parts Work, and Attachment Theories, I integrate various therapeutic modalities to best suit your needs. My goal is to assist you in recognizing areas in your life that require nourishment, discovery, and empowerment.

Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps. I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes. That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together. If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.
