Most people come to therapy because something isn't working, and it hasn't been for a while.
My approach is less about giving you answers and more about paying attention to what's actually happening both in your life and in the room.
The patterns people struggle with don't just live in their thoughts. They show up in how they react, how they relate, and how they experience themselves moment to moment.
This is where I focus. We slow things down enough to notice what's usually automatic, so something different can begin to happen.
I'm a professional counselor
based in Colorado.
My work is informed by depth-oriented, existential, and relational approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, ACT, Gestalt, and attachment-based work.

Psychotherapist. Existential Ally.
I've always been drawn to the question of why people end up living in ways that don't fully feel like them and what makes it so difficult to change that, even when they can see it clearly.
Now I help people through what's accumulated, what's been avoided, what's been repeated, and what's been carried for a long time.
I tend to work well with people who are willing to look at themselves honestly. Some are new to therapy. Others have done this before and are tired of staying in the same place.
I'm not especially interested in offering quick answers or surface-level fixes. What I'm interested in is understanding what's actually happening in the places that are harder to see or name and working with that directly.
That's the kind of work I find meaningful, both professionally and personally.
You don't need to have the right words for what's going on. Just a willingness to take a closer look.

What it feels like to sit with me.
Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and grounded.
I'm paying attention to not just what you're saying, but to what's happening as you say it. This could be a shift in tone, some hesitation, or even a moment of charged familiarity.
Those moments tend to matter more than they seem.
I'm not a blank slate. I'm not going to sit back while things stay stuck. At the same time, this isn't about pushing you somewhere you're not ready to go.
We work at a pace that allows for honesty without overwhelming you or staying on the surface.
