Move & Regulate How You Need
Stimming, fidgeting, sitting on the floor, dimming the lights, taking sensory breaks, and using AAC are always welcome. You never have to force eye contact or sit still.
About Me · Boulder, Westminster & CO Telehealth
Hi, I’m Joelle
I am a neurodivergent somatic therapist and sex therapy clinician in Colorado (LPCC.0025064). In my practice, you never have to shrink, mask, or perform to be met with care.
Working Together
How I work with clients
Background in Sculpture & Somatic Arts
Before becoming a therapist, I studied sculpture and somatic arts. When talking feels exhausting, we can work with posture, breath, movement, or art.
Sex, Kink & CNM Affirming
If you are exploring sensory sex, mixed-neurotype partnerships, polyamory, kink, or gender identity, you won’t have to spend your session educating your therapist.
My Story
How I came to this work
My path into therapy grew out of my own lived neurodivergent experience and years studying how bodies hold stress, creativity, and connection. At Naropa University and Herron School of Art & Design, I studied sculpture, decolonial psychology, applied neuroscience, and somatic psychotherapy while leading restorative conflict-repair circles and writing neurodiversity-affirming graduate curriculum.
I have worked with kids, teens, adults, and partnerships (ages 7 to 60) who felt let down by standard talk therapy. My sessions combine body-based trauma care with AASECT-informed sex therapy so you can recover from burnout, unmask at your own pace, and build relationships that work for your sensory system.
