Counseling Services in Boulder, CO
As a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve personal growth and overcome life's challenges. My journey into therapy began during high school when I experienced the transformative power of counseling firsthand. Over two decades, I have worked in diverse settings including community mental health clinics, schools, and private practice, treating clients ranging from children to adults. My education at Loyola University Chicago equipped me with specialized knowledge in family therapy and psychopathology, while my post-graduate training in EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic psychology expanded my therapeutic toolkit. I integrate evidence-based modalities with mindfulness and yoga techniques to address trauma, addiction, and mental health concerns.My practice emphasizes creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their struggles and develop practical coping strategies. With extensive experience in biopsychosocial assessments and dual-diagnosis treatment, I help clients navigate complex mental health and substance use issues. My commitment to professional development ensures clients receive current, effective care grounded in both scientific research and compassionate understanding. I maintain the highest clinical standards through continuous education and adherence to ethical practice guidelines.
