I do this through a psychodynamic and existential approach.
Because of the hurt I have experienced in my life I have become passionate about sitting with people as they sift through the darkest parts of themselves. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University and have received formal training in Eye Movement Desensitization/Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing. I balance kindness and directness as a therapist, while incorporating my sense of humor into the relationship. I primarily work with adolescents and adults, and work with a myriad of struggles including grief, trauma, addiction, and attachment issues.

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." - William Henley. People want to feel in control. But, when people experience internal or external change, and resist such, they can feel a loss of control. By identifying values, increasing insight, developing integrity, and encouraging self-care, I have helped countless clients regain control. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, residential, and inpatient; and with a variety of populations, including adults/adolescents/children experiencing depressive, anxiety, trauma/stressor, disruptive/impulse-control, substance, or personality disorders.

My interventions with clients tend to include mindful, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), existential, narrative, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and somatic ("bottom-up") approaches.
My focus is humanistic, trauma-informed, and relational/cultural, which means two main things: 1) I view counseling as a collaborative partnership between equals. All individuals are experts in their own lives and possess the ability to move toward awareness, acceptance, and connection. 2) I believe external factors often influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and that individuals can grow and even thrive if they are willing and ready to look honestly at whatever has them feeling "stuck." I often help people think through and reprocess complex developmental, psychological and cultural trauma influencing symptoms they present.

I am well trained in behavioral, family systems, psychodynamic, and relational therapies.
I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life. The cornerstone of my practice is the belief in the importance of each client's perspective, their wishes and needs. I believe every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couples, or family therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past twenty five years. I've worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.

I enjoy working with both males and females in therapy. My patients come to me with a wide variety of problems, including loss, stress, problems with relationships, chronic health issues, mood disorders, inattention and parenting. Rather than becoming specialized in one area of interest, I believe that the variety of the problems I deal with in therapy helps keep me focused on the individual in front of me.

I focus on working with couples and individuals who have relationship difficulties, as well as people with struggles related to past pain/trauma, depression, or anxiety. Often these can culminate in symptoms that seem vague and difficult to define and can look a variety of ways. Any of these can make you feel like life has just become too difficult or painful to process on your own.
I also work with couples of all kinds who need help working through issues and couples looking for premarital counseling.

I love working with individuals who are eager to find a deeper connection to self and others. Many people who decide to start therapy feel ambivalent about the process, and may feel uncertain about change in general. That is okay. They may not be ready for change and may be coming to therapy in order to first find that motivation for change. They may be highly emotionally sensitive, but have never felt understood in their sensitivity. They want to feel heard, seen, understood because these are some of our innate human needs.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
