Therapy works best when it’s honest, focused, and grounded in real life. That’s how I work—with clarity, structure, and respect for your time and goals. We define what matters, examine what’s getting in the way, and do the kind of work that leads somewhere. It’s not about endless analysis—it’s about forward movement.

Treatment Approach
- Biofeedback / Neurofeedback Teaches people to control body or brain activity using real-time monitoring. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, ADHD, and migraines.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Combines low doses of ketamine with psychotherapy to treat depression, trauma, and anxiety. It can provide relief when other methods haven’t worked.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Reality Therapy / Choice Theory Focuses on present choices and taking responsibility for actions. It helps clients create more fulfilling relationships and lives.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is existential, post-modern, and behavioral in nature. I use client-centered and solution-focused approaches to help clients bring their own unique goals to life.
Fees & Insurance
Fees
- Average Session Fee 250
- Out of Network
- I am considered an “out-of-network” provider. This means I don't bill through insurance companies or submit claims on your behalf. Instead, you pay directly at time of service and then seek potential reimbursement from your insurance provider later. I highly recommend checking with your insurance company about reimbursement prior to beginning sessions.

I work with adults—primarily men—who face high expectations, limited bandwidth, and internal pressure to figure things out on their own. Many clients come in feeling stuck in patterns related to stress, social anxiety, identity, or life transitions. Some are questioning whether the path they're on still fits.
Our work is structured and goal-oriented. We clarify what matters, examine what's getting in the way, and create strategies that support clearer thinking and more effective action. Sessions focus on building practical skills while honoring your existing strengths and capabilities.
My practice serves driven professionals navigating workplace pressures, men exploring authentic masculinity beyond traditional scripts, introverts managing social energy in extroverted environments, LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirming support, adults discovering neurodivergence through ADHD or autism, people processing major life changes, and couples developing better communication patterns.
I integrate Reality Therapy's focus on choice and personal responsibility with practical tools from CBT, DBT and narrative approaches. This combination addresses both behavioral patterns and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what's possible.
The therapeutic relationship is collaborative. You bring expertise about your own experience; I provide perspective and skills to help you create meaningful change. Sessions are direct, focused, and designed to produce results rather than endless exploration.
My training includes specialized work with LGBTQ+ populations, men's issues, neurodivergent adults, and relationship dynamics. I'm licensed in Colorado, California, and New York, offering both in-person sessions in Denver and online therapy throughout these states.
Clients typically notice improved clarity about their goals and more effective strategies for handling challenges within the first month. The work emphasizes sustainable approaches that fit your actual life rather than idealized solutions that sound good but don't stick.
Whether you're dealing with work burnout, relationship communication, identity questions, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy provides space to evaluate what's working, what isn't, and what you want to create next.
This approach works best for people ready to take action rather than those seeking only insight or processing. If you're motivated to make concrete changes and willing to experiment break out of routines that no longer serve you, we're likely a good fit.
