Affordable Counseling in Denver

I believe therapy is a shared journey between equals: You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk beside you -- offering a warm, inviting space (and a bit of humor) -- to help us find the best way forward. While I lean toward evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I hold the view that some of the most important work occurs through genuine connection and being heard. My approach is grounded in warmth, authenticity, and collaboration.

Before entering this field, I spent 13 years in teaching college education and worked in the visual effects industry for film, games, and commercials. Those experiences taught me that everyone has a unique story and experiences, and I am here to support you as you write your next chapter.

You don’t need the “right” words to begin therapy. You simply need a place to speak freely. I work with men, women, and adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, relationship challenges, and self-doubt. Whether you’re struggling with something recent or carrying experiences from the past, therapy offers you a space to slow down, reflect, and speak without censorship or judgment. Nothing is off limits, and you can say exactly what is on your mind. Together, we will focus on what feels most alive or pressing for you as you move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

 

As a psychoanalytic therapist, I’m often asked, “What is psychoanalysis?” At its core, psychoanalysis is an invitation to speak. As thoughts emerge, I listen with care, offer challenges when helpful, and support deeper awareness of patterns, desires, and inner life.

 

I am a Master’s-level student therapist and offer reduced-cost therapy to increase access to care. In addition to my work in mental health, I have a background in theatre and film, and I am an avid fly fisherman who believes in the healing power of nature. I welcome those seeking thoughtful, affordable therapy, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Therapy can offer a
place to slow down, feel genuinely heard, and better understand the
experiences and patterns shaping your life. I approach counseling with
warmth, curiosity, compassion, and respect for the wisdom you already
carry. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you stuck, recognize
your strengths, and identify meaningful ways forward.

My work is collaborative and grounded in the understanding that
emotional well-being is connected to the whole person, including
relationships, physical health, life experiences, identity, purpose,
and environment. I primarily draw from mindfulness-based practices,
transpersonal counseling, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These
approaches can help you understand your thoughts, emotions, and
behaviors, learn practical ways to cope, and develop the skills to
help yourself beyond the therapy room.

My background in research and brain health coaching informs my
appreciation for evidence-based care, lifelong growth, and the
capacity for meaningful change at every stage of life. I’m also
licensed by the State of Colorado as a Natural Medicine Facilitator,
supporting individuals who choose to work with psychedelics in a
legal, structured, and therapeutic setting. Across these areas of
practice, I bring an evidence-based approach, careful attention, and
deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

As a therapist intern, I offer reduced-cost counseling to help make
thoughtful, supportive mental health care more accessible. Whether
you’re navigating a difficult season, seeking greater clarity, or
hoping to build a more connected and fulfilling life, I’d be honored
to work alongside you.

Pain, suffering and struggle are part of our experience as human beings. Sometimes the

cocktail of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, anger, regret, and confusion is so potent that it

becomes difficult even to name and understand what we are feeling. In the presence of this kind

of distress, our world becomes small and isolating. We feel trapped and suffocated in our own

mind, as if it were a tiny prison cell without an adequate supply of oxygen.

​

What I am describing is a deeply human experience that many of us go through from time to

time. It is absolutely possible to find your way out of the cramped confines of your present

struggle and into a more expansive, balanced, and healthy reality.

​

Drawing from a study of Buddhist psychology, Gestalt theory, and mindfulness practice, my

approach to therapy is grounded in the understanding that change occurs through awareness.

As we come to know our patterns more clearly, we incrementally increase our ability to choose

whether or not we continue to repeat them. By increasing awareness, we introduce greater and

greater degrees of choice into our lives.

 

If you’d like to work together, I will facilitate a non-judgemental environment in which I will do my

best to help you identify and understand your patterns so that you can begin to choose your

response to life instead of being trapped by your habitual reactions to it.
