About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Colorado with over 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, personality disorders, being present in the moment, addiction, and grieving losses and unfulfilled expectations I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, person centered and mindfulness I believe strongly in the power of laughter and humor in assisting someone to improve their mental and emotional health. I will tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Dr. Riecks has been of great help to me. I had a lot of anxiety to work through that I had been putting off for years. I finally decided it was time to get help. He was very knowledgeable and understanding of my concerns. He taught me many tools and methods to help cope with my anxiety. It is a day and night difference from when I started seeing Dr. Riecks a few months ago. I great man and therapist.
