About my practice

Clients have my respect and admiration right from the start. It takes enormous courage to ask for help. The struggle is real. I can see folks in-person in Cherry Creek, or via telehealth anywhere in CO.

I’m flexible in my approach. Some people need more direction, homework, and a map of where we’re going. Let’s do it. But some people progress more on the scenic route and want to explore what they find along the way. That’s a meaningful journey as well. Both approaches can deepen your understanding of self and help you live your life more effectively. Let’s figure out the approach that works for you to get where you want to be.

I work with all kinds of people— especially those who may feel outside the mainstream, a little different, or even a little ‘odd.’ I have experience working with the historically marginalized (like women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and people with disabilities), as well as people on the autism spectrum. I practice a stance of cultural humility and curiosity.

Background and education

Raised in an Air Force family, I grew up in central Texas and North-West Florida. As an adult I lived in New York City for 15 years, and that’s where I discovered my passion for eating pizza and helping people through therapy and social work. I now live in Denver, where my wife and I are raising our 5-year old tornado.

My background in the arts, making theatre and writing, gives me a creative sense of collaboration. I’ve used expressive arts techniques to help people struggling with persistent and serious mental illness as well as those who are getting along fine but feel that “something is missing from life.” I especially enjoy facilitating groups.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social work at Hunter College in New York City, where I also received a year of specialized training in the National Child Trauma Workforce Institute. I’m fully licensed to practice psychotherapy in the state of Colorado.
