Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

I provide trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy rooted in psychodynamic and interpersonal process approaches. Together we’ll explore protective patterns, make sense of what you’re carrying, and practice new ways of relating that feel more connecting, honest, and secure.

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 feel like my past still affects who I am today.” “I worry constantly and don’t know how to turn my mind off.” “I don’t really know who I am or what I want anymore.” You are not alone. I am here to provide support as you take the first steps toward therapy. It can feel overwhelming to begin, but you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and start learning how to show up for yourself with more clarity and compassion. No matter where you are in life, you have a place here to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and rooted in compassion. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to be honest about your experiences as you navigate your unique healing journey. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you. Therapy should feel collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your needs, and I’m here to support you as you take the next steps in your journey. If you feel we may be a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.

I support clients navigating trauma recovery, eating disorders, anxiety, and the everyday challenges of life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to begin the healing process, know that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Our work together can offer a space to slow down, get curious, and gently explore the patterns that have helped you survive—even if they no longer feel sustainable.

Societal expectations can show up in academia in ways that can cause enormous stress. In a world that too often values productivity and individuality over community, co-creation, and support, the experience of being in the academic environment can feel isolating, overwhelming, or even like constantly having to prove yourself. I invite and support my clients to challenge the very constructs that have caused them to feel small. As a therapist, I utilize a relational approach to help you feel supported, to reveal patterns, and to help you find ways forward. I also acknowledge that the body can speak and reveal things that we, at times, are not able to verbalize, which is why I integrate somatic practices to help process stress and emotions. Together, we will hold space for you to feel seen and heard, and develop coping mechanisms to build resilience as you continue to navigate life. If you'd think we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a Free 15-minute Video Consultation!

College can be a lot in general. It can especially be when you’re balancing identity, family expectations, and your own hopes for the future. I grew up as a second-generation Chinese American in the Midwest, so I understand what it’s like to move between cultures while trying to figure out who you are. I offer a space where you can slow down, sort through what’s real for you, and make decisions that actually feel aligned. Whether you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or just trying to make sense of this phase of life, I’m here to support you in a way that feels steady, collaborative, and grounded in your lived experience.

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!

When you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, grief, and pain, you need a safe, supportive space to begin your journey towards understanding and healing. Therapy is a space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your life experiences, patterns of thinking, and actions. It can help you create the opportunity to promote personal change and growth. It may feel daunting at first, but as a therapist, I am here to walk next to you and help you navigate your healing journey. Therapy is not “one size fits all”. We will collaborate in partnership to identify your strengths and needs and choose the best approach for you. In therapy, I choose to listen deeply, show up authentically, and give empathy freely. Choosing a therapist can be a stressful decision. I have experience working with people ages 20-65+ who are learning to navigate things like trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I utilize a holistic approach that considers every aspect of who you are as an individual because your mental health is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up who you are. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. You deserve safety, peace, and kindness. I cannot wait to hear your story.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. Our work will focus on reclaiming your personal power 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 have strong strategies for managing Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, work-life balance, and goal completion. I have had the privilege of working in a variety of social work settings within the last decade. I have a wealth of experience working with children and families, behind the walls of a jail with those struggling with their life circumstances and severe hopelessness, and people with intellectual and physical disabilities.

I like to begin by listening to why you are here, what you need out of therapy, and how I can support you.

I believe you deserve access to care that is transparent and informed, which is part of why I share that I am queer and will offer a queer-informed approach.
