Enjoying life can be difficult when you are simply dealing with day-to-day stress, not to mention the big challenges you face. My role as a therapist is to support you in finding solutions for some issues and, learning to regulate difficult emotions or cope with the distress of harder issues. Maybe your goals are to be healthier, increase time management skills, or create better relationships with the other people in your life. In that case I would be a motivator with reminders and plans as I accompany you on your journey, non-judgmentally supporting your vision. I can also go deeper with you to discuss incidents and elevated/depressed emotional states. We would work together to create coping strategies and increase distress tolerance over time. I live in the Greater Denver Area and I graduated from Naropa University with a Masters in Contemplative Psychotherapy with an emphasis in Buddhist Psychology in Boulder, Colorado. At Naropa I did trainings on a wide variety of mindfulness meditation techniques and somatic movement therapies to address the body and mind. I am a meditation instructor and would be happy to help you incorporate creative and awareness-based practices into your routine. Currently, I see clients one-on-one privately, run DBT groups, do family therapy interventions, and facilitate psycho-educational groups for clients that have recently come out of residential treatment for substance abuse. I am accustomed to working with clients who are going through big life changes, creating healthier habits, coping with loneliness, working with LGBT shifts/stigma, increasing self esteem, or having relationship problems with family, friends, and/or romantic partners. My specialties include: DBT, CBT, EMDR, Modern Psychoanalysis, Clinical Mentoring, Relapse Prevention, Contemplative Practices, and Trauma Informed Care. I have experience working closely with clients that have a range of functionality issues and mental health diagnosis including: ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Bi-Polar I & II, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Compulsive Disorders, Self Harming Behaviors, and Substance Abuse Disorders. Whether you need to get better grades, adjust your career, address past traumatic events, or change problematic behaviors, there is a better path we can create for your body and mind. I enjoy working with my clients in-person, but online therapy is simply the best option for many people. Online therapy also allows me to reach people within the great state of Colorado that live in remote areas on any day no matter the weather. My flexible schedule permits me to be able to meet you on all the different platforms, according to what you need individually. Message me to discuss how you can manifest the version of you that is healthy, enjoying life, and feeling fulfilled.

I have come to counseling a little bit later in life than some; I had already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and have provided counseling with agencies contracted to provide those services.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.

How much does therapy with a licensed therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person Colorado therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $65 to $100 per week. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Is it possible to find a therapist, counselor, or psychology practitioner that offers affordable therapy?

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

When should I get a therapist in Colorado?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

What can a psychologist help me with in therapy?

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of in-person or online therapy with a therapist in Colorado?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Are online therapy sessions the safe option?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
