It is important to find the right therapist that you can connect with and establish a trusting relationship.

I believe people sometimes need help to reach their desired destination. Even though you may know where you want to go, it can be easy to get lost if you don't know the way. If you are action-oriented, I am your guy. Feelings are important, and processing your feelings is also important. With that being said, sometimes we can get lost or stuck in our feelings. Having small goals/and brief treatment assignments can keep you moving forward and help prevent getting "stuck" in your feelings.

I strive to be a positive investment, not a cost, to people who choose to trust me and work toward their higher potential. I believe we each have more potential than we realize. I know I do not succeed unless you do. There are ways to deal with stress, heal from trauma, readjust our underlying beliefs, and move on, thrive, living a life we can value and find worthwhile.

I love working with individuals, couples, and especially young adults using sound Biblical principles, advanced Brainspotting, CBT, EFT, and Narrative Therapy. I want to help couples build a strong foundation through premarital counseling and help existing couples struggling in their marriages. I want to walk along side people in the struggles they face or the traumas they need to overcome. To me it is a privilege to journey with people as they face the various challenges of life.

Maybe you understand yourself very well and still feel stuck. Maybe you’re exhausted by self-help language, endless analysis or therapy that feels disconnected from real life. I work with thoughtful, curious people who want something more alive than symptom management and repetitive conversations about problems. Together, we work to interrupt old patterns, experiment with new ways of living and create movement where life has become rigid, disconnected or repetitive.

I've been in the addictions / mental health (dual diagnosis) field for over 25 years in Colorado. I sincerely believe in clients' ability to make enduring change, after they have learned to identify and accept what's not working in their lives. I'm a very accessible and active therapist, and I offer specialized groups to meet clients' needs. Groups occur Tuesday through Saturday, depending on group assignment. Individual sessions are often a part of effective treatment planning, in addition to, or instead of, group format. Reasonable pricing.

I come to each session with a direct, empathic, and supportive approach that is holistic, educational and evidence-based. Whether life's current stressors are getting in your way or mental health concerns need support, I provide a compassionate alliance to help you move in the direction that best serves you. Along with sound knowledge of human behavior, I bring warmth and positive regard to the collaborative relationship based on trust and confidentiality.

I have a certification in the psychology of violence.
I genuinely care about my clients and firmly believe in each person's capacity to bring about positive transformation in their lives. Every individual carries a unique narrative, encompassing both the uplifting and challenging moments. Many of those I work with are eager to comprehend their actions, enhance their relationships, and develop effective coping mechanisms for life's challenges. Just as a laborer needs tools for their trade, we too require a well-equipped toolbox to navigate our journey.

As a very senior therapist, I see clients on a self-pay basis (with a sliding fee) and Medicare. I have been a clinical psychologist for 40 years and have worked with hundreds of wonderful people. Rather than list my specialties, I would say the most important factor in psychotherapy is the quality of the relationship created between the client and the therapist. The felt experience of really being seen, as clients truly and honestly are, is the vital healing force. If people feel that then almost regardless of the presenting problem, people can gain freedom and control in their lives.

If you're reading this, you've already taken a courageous step toward healing, and I’m truly honored to be part of that journey. You may find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, on edge, or shutting down, patterns that once helped you survive but may no longer serve you. These responses often reflect a nervous system shaped by overwhelm. Together, we slow things down with care and curiosity, helping your system feel safer, loosen survival patterns, and move toward lasting, meaningful change.

Reaching out for support can be one of the most difficult steps, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and the impacts of stress and trauma. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely supported, understood, and safe enough to be themselves.

You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. Many high-achieving women spend years caring for others while quietly struggling with burnout, people-pleasing, relationship stress, or loss of identity. I specialize in helping women in midlife navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, codependency, and self-worth challenges. Together, we uncover patterns keeping you stuck, heal unresolved wounds, and create a more grounded, fulfilling life.

Knowing you're picking the right therapist can be daunting, especially when you’re carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or major life transitions. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most important factors in creating meaningful change, and I work collaboratively with each client to build trust and connection throughout the process. I use a mix of compassion, humor, and irreverence to tackle life's hardest issues.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful part of healing. My goal is to create a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can show up authentically. I value curiosity, connection, and even humor, because sometimes laughter can help make hard conversations feel a little lighter.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand firsthand the impact of feeling unseen, rejected, or misunderstood. These experiences shape the way I connect with clients and inform my commitment to creating a space where people feel genuinely accepted and supported.

Beginning therapy is a courageous step—and a powerful gift you give to yourself. It takes strength to lean into vulnerability and seek support, and I honor that strength in every person I work with. My practice is grounded in client-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches, creating a space where you can feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

My therapeutic style offers space to explore therapy through artmaking and creative processes. The imagination fuels our capacity to create, and making art in therapy allows access to experiences beyond logic, words, or conscious thought. With over 15 years in contemporary arts, meditation, and spiritual practices, I bring practical and embodied knowledge to therapy.
I am passionate about supporting people through life as it relates to their personal and inter-generational histories within a broader social context. I welcome individuals and groups who have been impacted by trauma and systemic barriers.
