Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

Greetings! I provide psychotherapy for adults and I specialize in treating PTSD/trauma-related disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopment difficulties, OCD, and addiction, and have experience with a wide range of other challenges. I also offer limited clinical assessments on a case-by-case basis, including cognitive and academic functioning. I work to create space for anyone who feels I may be of some help in exploring their personal experience and challenge themselves to confront their struggles. Above all, I work collaboratively with each individual to tailor therapy for their optimal healing. My background is in clinical health psychology, so I consider factors of both body and mind throughout treatment. I integrate trauma-specific, psychodynamic, exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, and incorporate neurobehavioral principles throughout. I also have considerable training in neuropsychological and psychological assessment. I see therapy as an endeavor to support others in discovering their own capacity for healing. I see human beings as complex, dynamic, multifaceted beings. Consequently, addressing mental health concerns requires robust, innovative methods for creating change. Above all, I work to support folks in finding ways to not simply address problems, but also thrive.

“I feel hopeless, anxious, and I worry all the time.” “I am a people pleaser and I am exhausted.” “I don’t know how to navigate big feelings/emotions; they’re too much.” Does this sound familiar? I am here to help as you deserve to live a life that makes you look forward to waking up each morning! Feeling hopeless, anxious, and full of worry can be debilitating, overwhelming, and lonely. Oftentimes, our belief in our own resiliency gets buried during these times. I have had the privilege of walking with people of all ages on their life's journey, uncovering their resiliency. There has always been an innate desire to help others achieve their potential and see their own greatness; realize their past doesn’t define them, and their future is theirs to create. If you are ready to uncover your greatness and create goals for a future you create, you can call me or send me a message. I look forward to meeting you!

Is pain from your past or worries about the future making it hard to enjoy the present? Do you want to have more fulfilling relationships with others? Hi there, my name is Meg, and I am happy you found my page! My goal is to guide you in rediscovering and accepting all the parts of what makes you, you. We achieve this together through compassionate care that helps you build confidence, find your voice, and figure out what really matters to you, whether that’s in your relationships, in your work, or how you spend your time. I also help you recognize patterns you’ve been stuck in, habits that don’t serve you anymore, or ways of being that might have been passed down through family, so you can break free from those cycles. I welcome you to my therapeutic space and am excited to get to know you! My therapeutic approach creates a space where you can share your stories while feeling truly heard and understood. Together, we look at what’s working in your life and what isn’t, then figure out how to make changes that feel true to who you actually are. Part of that often means learning to let go of and/or say no to things that drain you, and yes to things that feel meaningful. In this supportive space, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in each of my sessions. I further tailor care to focus on skill building through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), explore patterns of behavior/change through Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma processing with Internal Family Systems (IFS), and build tolerance with anxiety-provoking situations through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as needed. Aside from building the tools to navigate symptoms and experiences related to mental health diagnoses, my ultimate goal is for you to feel realigned to your authentic self, to feel powerful and confident, and to find meaning in your life. Mental health wasn’t something that was prioritized or openly talked about in my family, so it wasn’t until early adulthood that I first began learning about therapy as a volunteer with AmeriCorps. My own experience in therapy eventually inspired me to become a therapist, and I’m deeply grateful for everything that journey has taught me and the ways it has given back to my life. Outside the office, you might find me wandering around a local thrift store, playing with my cat Phil, watching Survivor with my husband, drinking coffee and walking through the Botanic gardens, crocheting, or enjoying other crafty activities that help keep me balanced.

Since graduating in 2023 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have worked in various private practice outpatient settings, where I have specialized in treating adult women and men. I work well with those who might feel stuck in life, have trouble overcoming anxiety, are navigating life transitions, or wanting to heal from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. When working together, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative approach, and a safe and supportive environment. My style is grounded in evidence-based practices such as IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy) to address trauma and build new self-aware and compassionate ways of being. I also utilize and pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-based therapies, and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, healing emotional pain and trauma, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system. My therapeutic style is to meet you exactly where you are at, with gentleness and patience. I believe change is possible for everyone, but it is often the narratives, stories, and unhealed traumas we have internalized that can make it difficult to move forward. In treatment I’ll help you learn to recognize these beliefs, to understand their roles, and cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and create a harmonious internal system. While untangling it all may feel overwhelming right now, I’m ready to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and growth. My journey into becoming a therapist began with my own struggle with anxiety and identity as I managed various life transitions. With the help of therapy, I was able to find my way through a path that once seemed overwhelming. This experience deepened my commitment to providing mental health care and allows me bring genuine compassion, connection, trust, and empathy into each session. I look forward to walking alongside you in our work together. Outside the office, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies that help keep my mind and body active. I love exploring the great outdoors, whether I’m hiking nature trails or paddleboarding on the water, as well as indoor fun like cooking new recipes and honing my video gaming skills. You’ll also often find me curled up with a good book, most likely about world history!

With more than ten years of experience working with adults as a generalist therapist in community mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your mental health journey. I have experience working with a range of issues, including mood, relationships, substance use, and trauma with a particular affinity for supporting my clients in navigating life changes, enhancing self-esteem, and supporting mental health throughout pregnancy and parenting. I strive to be an ally for our LGBTQ+ community and carry a social justice ethos.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to hold everything together while also figuring out who you are and what you truly need. I'm passionate about supporting young adults and adults as they navigate identity, relationships, and major life transitions, with a particular commitment to affirming care for those within the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to begin, you don't have to face it alone. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward building a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. Together, we'll explore the patterns, thoughts, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck, while also building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your own story. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), always tailoring our work to what feels most relevant and supportive for you. Above all, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or clinical. It can, and should, feel like a place where you are met with honesty, connection, and care as you begin to make sense of your experiences and move toward the changes that matter most to you. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with identity and mental health, experiences that deepened my commitment to creating a space that is affirming and inclusive for others. I believe that growth comes from both insight and action, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate that process.

From a young age, I have been interested in promoting health and wellness and followed my passion into a career in healthcare. I received my Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in 2010. After graduation, I was selected as a National Health Service Corp Scholar and spent two years serving in a rural underserved community. This experience gave me a strong foundation in treating patients of all ages in outpatient and inpatient settings, but while living in a small community, I realized that I was still a city girl at heart. In 2012 I relocated back to Denver and have been practicing in the Denver metro area ever since. Through practicing in family medicine, I have realized how much our mental health affects our well-being and found that my true passion is in promoting mental health wellness. I have a special interest in gut health and how our gut microbiome impacts not only our mental health but our overall wellness. I believe in an integrated approach to behavioral health care that includes nutrition, exercise, meditation, and sleep education. My goal is to collaborate with each patient to form an individualized approach to care. In my spare time, I am an avid runner and have completed multiple marathons including the world-famous Boston Marathon. On the weekends I enjoy taking my love of running to the trails and when I am not outside enjoying Colorado’s sunshine, you can find me in the kitchen trying new recipes and finding ways to incorporate more plants into my diet. I look forward to partnering with you on your healthcare journey!

As an emotion-focused, trauma-informed therapist with over 5 years of experience, I help clients identify and process suppressed emotions often rooted in unresolved trauma. I believe healing begins when we create space for the feelings we've had to bury, and that therapy, though challenging, can be a safe space to reconnect with ourselves.
