Helping people discover meaning and direction in their lives gives my own life profound purpose. I am a Marine veteran, former university professor, and trauma researcher with extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse cultural, military, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds. Whether you are seeking relief from trauma, managing anxiety, or searching for deeper meaning and fulfillment, I can help you reconnect with your strengths and values. I provide therapy to adults across Colorado.
I specialize in treating PTSD, anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, anger, grief, ADHD, burnout, insomnia, and men’s issues. I also work with clients navigating relationship challenges, loneliness, identity concerns, career stress, chronic illness, chronic pain, addictions, and existential or transitional stress. 
My approach is culturally centered, military- and LGBTQ+-affirming, and trauma-informed—providing a safe and collaborative environment for healing and growth. I believe that strong, trusting relationships are at the heart of effective therapy. Together, we’ll identify your goals and use evidence-based approaches that best fit your needs and comfort level.
