Welcome to my Boulder, Colorado therapy practice.
Relationships at all stages require heart, courage, trust, commitment, and skill. I am a relationship specialist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist of 36 years, and a Level 3 Gottman Referred Therapist. Together, we weave discovery, resilience, and rich resource for optimal growth. Often, what we yearn for in our relationships is the very thing that turns us upside down and kicks our tush. Relationships can break us open, challenge us to our core, and show us the patterns that need to be faced and transformed for greater whole-hearted connection. It is to this end I am dedicated to assisting you toward the love you desire.
Clients from all over Colorado and beyond come to my practice often at the beginning of their commitment as couples with great hopes and dreams. Clients come seeking more intimate and fulfilling relationships. Couples seek help with marriages within all stages. Parents come wanting greater relational skills and fulfillment with their children. Families needing direction and support come to my therapy practice to learn how to overcome difficulties and live more harmonious and satisfying lives with one another. Empty-nesters, retired and older couples come to my practice to navigate these stages toward greater meaning, support, and direction.
We design relationships that work!
Through assessment, we understand the deep desires of your heart. Dreaming and envisioning are far greater than merely goal setting or skill building. We will clarify your intentions, remove obstacles, build grit and resilience, and achieve optimal connection and satisfaction. For couples, I refer to the Gottman Relationship Checkup as one of the main directives. From there, we build on the strengths presented and tackle the challenges. The Seven Principles to Make Marriage Work is woven into our work together. Building understanding, friendship, intimacy, turning toward, conflict skill, shared meaning, and vision are the focus of our work for marriages that thrive.
I bring that relational and leadership expertise to empower individuals and work teams to build a culture that thrives. Growing up in a family business, I offer experience in navigating those relationships in business that often present their own unique challenges. I created CEO COUPLES for Founders who are married or friends/colleagues in business together to gain relational intelligence, collaboration, and skill.
Our work is designed in a 3-month model. Pricing can be arranged that will work for you as we create and customize our journey of growth.
In addition, I collaborate with my husband, Dan Macy, a Certified Career Counselor to provide a well-rounded support team. Ranger, our Cocker Spaniel, also makes his presence from time to time, as our Chief Morale Officer and Certified Therapy dog.
We design dreams that thrive!
I am a Certified Dream Coach through Dream University. We design dreams that create meaning and connection within relationships. Whether it is within your marital partnership, group, or team- we will create clarity, increase belief and action to achieve your vision.
