Somatic Relationship Counseling

Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, CO

Hi, welcome.

If you’re here, I’m guessing something in your life—often at home or in your closest relationships—feels hard right now. You may be overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together while longing for real change.

I’m a licensed therapist offering trauma-informed, body-centered therapy for individuals and couples who want more than surface-level coping. I specialize in relationship counseling, nervous system regulation, and helping people heal the impact of relational wounds, power struggles, and religious or spiritual trauma.

Using approaches like Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I help clients calm overwhelmed nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and create more honest, intimate, and resilient relationships. My work supports both individuals and couples in breaking free from old patterns and building connection rooted in strength, safety, and authenticity.

There is a different way forward—one that honors your body, your history, and your desire for meaningful change. You don’t have to do this alone.

I offer in person sessions in Lafayette, CO (near Boulder, Lousiville, Erie, CO)

Feeling stuck in painful cycles with your partner?
If your relationship feels tense, disconnected, or stuck in power struggles, you’re not alone. Many couples find themselves repeating the same arguments without resolution, feeling unseen or unheard.

At A New Way Counseling Collective, we specialize in helping high-conflict couples repair trust, communicate effectively, and reconnect through Relational Life Therapy (RLT) — a direct, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to creating real change.

RLT helps you identify and transform the deeper patterns driving your conflict, so you can move from blame and defensiveness to honesty, accountability, and repair. Together, we work to restore balance in your relationship, rebuild intimacy, and create lasting connection rooted in respect and love.

If you’re ready to break free from destructive patterns and learn how to stand up for yourself with strength and heart — while staying open to your partner — we’re here to help.

  • Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses primarily on thoughts and dialogue, somatic therapy integrates the body’s wisdom into the healing process. In couples work, this means helping partners notice physical cues, regulate nervous system responses, and shift patterns of disconnection or conflict from the inside out. This holistic approach can lead to more lasting and embodied change.

  • If you're in Boulder and looking for something deeper than just “talking it out,” we might be a good match. I blend body-based therapy with real relationship work, meaning we’ll explore what’s happening in your nervous system, not just your to-do list. I’m direct, kind, and compassionate, and I work well with people who want more connection, more clarity, and are open to a little humor along the way. If you're ready to feel more like yourself—in your body, your relationships, and your life—let’s talk.

  • Not directly—I’m swimming in teens at home! Instead, I support kids and teens by helping their parents learn to relate in new, more connected ways. If you’re a parent feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to reach your child, I can help you shift the dynamic from your side. Often, when parents change how they show up, everything else starts to change too.

  • Yes! RLT is the integrative approach to couples therapy created by Terry Real that equips people with the lifelong skills to forge more authentic, honest, and intimate connections.
