What This Means
Most therapy stays focused on the story. I focus on the system underneath it.
I don’t wait months to ask the hard questions. I don’t indulge patterns that keep you comfortable but stuck. And I don’t confuse kindness with avoidance.
I’m warm, attuned, and deeply respectful —and I will also get straight to the point.
That combination is why people often move through therapy with me more quickly. Not because I rush the process, but because I don’t waste time circling what’s already obvious.
Breakthroughs happen when we stop protecting the problem.
The Bold Breakthrough Method
The Bold Breakthrough Method is built for people who have already tried therapy and still feel stuck.
It integrates:
- Trauma-informed therapy
- EMDR and experiential approaches
- Parts work and nervous system awareness
- Direct reflection and pattern interruption
This work goes beyond insight. It creates felt change — in your body, your responses, and how you move through the world.
Clients often tell me:
“I’ve never had therapy move this quickly.”
“You said the thing no one else would say.”
“Something shifted — not just clicked.”
That’s the work.
Who I Work Best With
I specialize in working with high-achievers, deep thinkers, and self-aware adults in Boulder, CO who are struggling with:
- Complex or childhood trauma
- Anxiety that doesn’t respond to talk therapy
- Emotional patterns that won’t shift
- Feeling “high functioning” but internally overwhelmed
- A sense that something deeper needs attention
Many of my clients are successful, capable, and insightful — and exhausted from carrying patterns they’re ready to outgrow.
Who I’m Not the Right Fit For
I’m probably not your therapist if you’re looking for:
- Surface-level or comfort-only therapy
- Endless processing without movement
- A therapist who avoids challenge
- Someone who agrees with everything you say
There are plenty of excellent therapists who work that way. I just don’t.
