My Approach

I believe that healing happens through connection. My work is grounded in Relational-Cultural theory, a psychological framework that states that human beings grow through and toward lifelong connection, and that chronic isolation is a primary source of suffering. My therapeutic approach draws on grief-informed companioning, narrative work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which means we work together to support you in building a life that can hold what's true, including loss, alongside meaning, connection, and purpose.

I believe grief and struggle aren't problems to be fixed, but universal human experiences to be carefully tended to and held in connection with others. Whatever brought you here, my aim is to walk alongside you — steady, honest, and unhurried.

How we work together

  1. You reach out, and we schedule a meeting of 15 to 30 minutes for me to learn about you, and for you to ask questions.

  2. After our talk, you decide if you’d like to move forward. If so, I work to assure our first session happens within one week.

  3. I’ll have you complete some necessary paperwork prior to our first session, to help me learn more about you and to clarify your client rights and what you can expect from our relationship.

  4. Our initial intake session will be a 90-minute meeting, and after that, a standard session is 55 to 60 minutes. For couples sessions, 90-minute sessions are an option.

At this time, my practice does not focus on substance abuse or addiction, and I'm not able to work with clients experiencing active suicidal ideation.
I'm happy to help connect you with appropriate resources and providers who can better support those needs.

Please Note: I do not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are in crisis or need immediate support,
please contact Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text TALK to 38255 or go to your nearest emergency department for immediate assistance.

Why I Don't Accept Insurance

I've chosen not to bill insurance directly so that therapy stays shaped around what you need — not what's covered. Billing insurance requires a diagnosis, even when one doesn't quite fit or doesn't serve you, and it means your records live with a third party rather than staying private between us. Insurers can also require ongoing proof of "medical necessity" to keep sessions going, which can dictate frequency and length regardless of what's clinically right for you — and even approved claims aren't always safe from later denial or clawback.

Working outside insurance means none of that enters the room: what we decide about pacing and focus stays between us, and your records stay private. I'm happy to provide a superbill if you'd like to seek reimbursement from your insurance company on your own.
