Hello all! I am a trauma therapist with extensive experience helping people heal from trauma and navigate stress. I began working in Northern Iraq, helping folks heal from war trauma and violence. I now work in Denver with New Americans and immigrant families as they adjust to the US, and here in Boulder with anyone ready to heal from trauma and feel more alive. My practice is called Prosocial because it is a community-based model, which means when you come to therapy with Prosocial, you make it...
I have a hard time saying no to people...I feel constantly overwhelmed, like I can’t handle my own emotions...Why do I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to relationships? If these thoughts resonate with you, you’re not alone. These struggles can make you feel stuck, questioning yourself and your worth, wondering if you’ll ever feel better. The truth is, you are not broken, and you don’t need to be "fixed." Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else; it’s about reconnecting with your aut...
As a practicing psychologist for over 30 years (and a short time before that as an attorney), I understand the importance of having someone to speak with about our worries, questions, changes and even our daily lives. I see adults and adolescents who seek support in navigating stressful situations and not only reaching resolution on that issue, but also learning about themselves in deeper ways. I listen closely and with an open mind. I'm supportive and encouraging and help you make connecti...
“I wish I felt more connected to my friends and family.” “For some reason, nothing brings me joy anymore.” “I wish I could move on from what happened in the past.” Let’s embrace this journey together. Everyone needs a safe space to share without fear of judgment—I hope to be that for you. My job is to support you unconditionally in your unique quest to be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. I am passionate about counseling those struggling with anxiety, depression, neurodivergent challe...
My work is to offer support and guidance for you and your loved ones in finding a more easeful path of life through connecting to the wisdom of your own body, emotional experience and internal guides. Creative expression, meaning making and spirituality are the main pillars of my work. Together, we will explore ways to find the gifts in anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, difficult relationships and feelings of disconnect. I am a nature-based counselor who weaves elements of the natur...
My practice is dedicated to working with people who are seeking emotional emancipation. They desire to claim or reclaim their lives after traumatic experiences or relational struggles that have left them feeling down, anxious, lonely, confused or scared and often don't really know how to begin to be different in the midst of all of these feelings. Working with me means exploring together the experiences that make you who you are by looking both at what your life is like today and how your pas...
Psychotherapy is a relationship rooted in collaboration. I am a psychologist because I believe in the power of discourse and action to affect change in individual lives, contributing to a better global community. Through provocative, supportive, and creative conversations with my clients, and a willingness to do things differently, change occurs. The process may be difficult at times, but ultimately, most people walk away with an awareness of options for behaving, relating, or understanding...
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 w...
I help people explore the stories they’ve built their lives around—where they’ve been, what those experiences have meant, and how to move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and self-trust. My practice supports individuals, families, and systems in working through trauma, substance use, identity development, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with young adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, and those navigating motivation difficulties, emotional neglect, complex trauma or life tran...

Feeling "not good enough"? Like no mater how hard you try, you still feel "inadequate"? You don't have to internalize this damaging societal programming. It seems to bombard us from all directions: social media, in-groups at school, family, professors, society at large. Together we'll work to replace this narrative with one of innate worthiness, internal strength, emotional intelligence, enhanced well being, and more fulfilling relationships. In addition to traditional talk therapy, we'll use...
Hi everyone, I’m Amy, and I’m really glad you’re here. My approach to therapy is about creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. I’m trained in EMDR and also like to bring in approaches such as mindfulness, walking sessions, breath work, and practical skill-building, depending on what feels most helpful for you. I also draw from DBT, which stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In real life, that means learning concrete tools for things like calming y...
If you're struggling, I want you to know it doesn't have to be so hard, and you don't have to go it alone. Together we can begin to understand and cope with emotions and situations which can seem overwhelming. Relationships can create such powerful movement in our lives, and offer real hope. I share a profound respect for your choice to begin therapy, and will provide a non-judgmental space to express yourself. Anxiety, loss, transition -- often these struggles give us opportunity to grow and de...

I believe in a body centered, mindful approach that combines evidenced based nutrition practices, resulting in an integrative and holistic approach to better nutrition, improved energy, increased mental clarity and optimal health. I enjoy helping clients develop strategies to meet their nutrition and health goals by finding foods that fit for each individual person. I do this, most importantly, by listening to their stories and experiences, honoring their unique bodies and coming up with nutri...
Life can be a lot of things; this is my primary orientation. I am meticulous when it comes to perspective, and how to integrate it and establish meaningful personal narratives around life experiences. I feel that at times it’s important to not have a goal in mind and to not have an agenda slated, because being with things as they are can be incredibly healing for the heart. Life lessons feel like code sometimes; I find ways to decode confusion through healthy, safe, personal exploration and kno...
My Approach: Direct and Compassionate - I believe these are the two greatest traits I can bring into my work with others. While working with clients I strive to provide honest feedback that will help guide them forward towards recovery while offering compassion along the journey. I believe that the best route to change is a direct one that does not beat around the bush. The road to recovery of any form can be very difficult as life may be in a state of turmoil. I have found that offering a compa...

I specialize in addictive behaviors, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I help people identify patterns that no longer serve them, gain insight into where these patterns began, and support them...
