Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

Hi! I love helping students navigate the overwhelming experience of college life and helping individuals navigate mental health struggles like anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or trauma. Many of the students I work with are high achievers who often feel pressure to succeed but struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, or negative self-talk. You might find it hard to focus, feel stuck in your thoughts, or wonder if you’re doing enough—academically, socially, or in life. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard and supported while working toward a sense of balance and confidence. My approach is compassionate and practical, helping you understand yourself better while building tools to better handle stress. Whether you're struggling adjusting to college, having existential crises, or just feeling down; I’m here to help you feel more in control and at peace.

Drawing from an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques, we are committed to creating a unique and personalized psychotherapy experience for each of our clients based on your individual needs, goals and strengths. Each of your lives and histories, genetic and cultural inheritances, physical, emotional and spiritual experiences are unique and distinctive. To create an environment where health and healing can take place it is critical that we draw from a variety of theories and techniques that fit your specific life and circumstances, creating a holistic therapeutic experience exclusively for your wellbeing.

I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Couple and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. I am extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and EMDR. I have been in private practice since 2010. My primary areas of focus are relationships, sexuality, trauma, depression and anxiety. My therapeutic approaches are based in Attachment Theory, Experiential Theory and Trauma Theory. I enjoy helping clients to access emotions, understand motivations and deepen relationships (with themselves and others). My style is warm, authentic and collaborative. I pride myself on being straightforward and honest and want to help people to genuinely connect with themselves and significant others. I truly enjoy my work and have a great deal of respect for my clients’ efforts and progress. I am proud to have worked with people from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious/spiritual traditions.

I offer relational, culturally affirming psychotherapy and supervision for individuals seeking depth, support, and authenticity. Grounded in my identity as a Black female relational psychotherapist, my work centers the impact of culture, power, and systemic context on both personal healing and clinical practice. •Group Mentorship for Emerging Practice Owners: I am opening a dedicated space to coach mid-level psychotherapists who are ready to navigate the transition into private practice, blending clinical wisdom with practical business mentorship. •Relational, Culturally Affirming Supervision/Mentorship for Therapists: Appreciating the weight we are all carrying, I am continuing to offer a reflective, iterative space specifically for fellow healers, grounded in a culturally affirming framework. My goal is to "hold the holders" and ensure the next generation of clinicians is as supported and culturally rooted as possible. •Relational, Culturally Affirming Psychotherapy for Therapists: Recognizing the unique weight we carry, I am continuing to offer a therapeutic holding space specifically for fellow healers, grounded in a culturally affirming framework. •Culturally Grounded Organizational Development: I am expanding my work with organizations, providing the high-level training and structural support necessary to create truly equitable and culturally grounded environments. Whether you are seeking individual therapy or individual/group supervision, I aim to offer an affirming, relational space that supports your growth, sustainability, and integrity as both a person and a clinician.

Hi there! I work with high achievers suffering from burnout, people pleasing, codependency, and difficult family relationships. My clients are ones who tend to struggle with boundaries and are perpetually exhausted but are not sure why. They are strivers, but they never feel like they are good enough or that they are seen for who they really are. They struggle with anxiety and their stress is, at times, overwhelming. Most of all, my clients want to not feel this way anymore. They are ready for change.

I'm committed to helping my clients transform difficulty into opportunity, gain new perspective, and to re-discover their truth so they can be as happy as possible. I received my Masters from Regis University graduating with honors. My professional experience consist of working with individuals, couples, and groups since 1991. The majority of my experience is working with adults having challenges with relationships, difficult emotional issues, and in simply learning to live a happy life.I work with people who are committed to their own personal growth and willing to make the necessary changes to be true to themselves and have integrity with others. I incorporate traditional therapeutic approaches in a compassionate yet direct manner as well as hypnotherapy, Sensorimotor therapy, Relational trauma therapy from Pia Melodies work, & cognitive-behavioral therapy. .I have a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Regis, in addition to my private practice I facilitated groups at West Pines hospital- psychiatric and chemical dependency units. I have been a meditation practitioner and instructor for 15 years. In terms of psychological well being meditation is one of the best a methods in reducing stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression. When meditation is combined with other therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the combination is 50% more successful than CBT alone .

I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) as my primary modality. IFS provides an opportunity to look inside yourself and learn why you do the things you do, think the way you think, and how all the parts of you work together. You will learn how to listen to, and learn from, those nagging voices in your head. Once we start listening and learning, a depth of understanding will occur that allows for healing of wounds and releasing of inaccurate beliefs about yourself.

During the first session, our goal is to start to get to know you, what’s important to you, what you’re experiencing, what may still be lingering from the past, what your strengths and resources are, and to set some initial goals for our work together. Based on the initial session and our collaborative conversation, we will have some ideas as to the approaches that will be likely to help you achieve the change you’re striving for. Our varied educational and professional backgrounds mean that we’re ready to help a wide variety of clients. We utilize a variety of approaches and techniques that will work for YOU, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, existential therapy, emotion-focused couples therapy, and others. All of our work is trauma-informed.
