I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC; # 5267) with over 20 years of psychotherapy and counseling experience. My goal-my privilege-as a therapist is to help people improve ways of thinking, feeling, and doing - three dimensions that cannot be neglected in therapy. And, because no "one" counseling approach is sufficient to explain all facets of human experience, I employ a variety of orientations including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, family systems, solution-focused, spiritual, and neuroscientific approaches - which I'll gladly discuss more in-depth upon request.

I see through a psychodynamic lens and help you answer the 'why's' to life that are uniquely yours to answer.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Colorado, with a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have 4 years of experience in the therapeutic space; assisting, guiding, joining and believing in my clients to reach their goals and potential. I have lived my professional career over the last 14 years, in wonder and amazement at the true power that comes from believing in our worth as humans. I want to teach people what's right with them, as they have been hearing for years all that is 'wrong' with them. I want to assist you in changing the language around who you are and what you're here for.

Sometimes life sucks. It’s normal to struggle at times. We all have bad days.But sometimes those bad days turn into bad weeks, bad months, even bad years. And all that struggling and pain, day after day, can make us feel like this is just life. This is just the way it is. I’m here to tell you this: it’s not. You don’t have to live like this. More importantly, you don’t deserve to live like this. You deserve to feel safety and joy and connection with yourself and others. You deserve a life filled with hope and creativity. Your body and mind were meant to be your refuge- a place that nurtures all the gifts you were meant to share.

One minute you are focused and competent, the next you are freaking out in the bathroom, hiding from your co-workers. Out of nowhere, you can't deal with life the way you used to. It's just not working anymore. You don't know what to do. Trying harder isn't working.

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.
