Individual Therapy

I offer both online and in-person psychotherapy to Colorado residents.

My fee is $150 per 53-minute session.

I do not accept insurance. I provide a receipt if you would like to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider.

More about my approach

I use an individualized psychodynamic approach to help you increase awareness of conscious and unconscious patterns, identify and use your strengths, learn new coping skills, improve your communication, and create lasting changes in perception and behavior.

Together, we identify challenges you’re facing, develop goals for our work, and use the therapeutic relationship itself as a launching pad for change.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that humans are oriented toward meaning and self-actualization. I practice with the stance that you deserve someone who can listen to you without judgement and see you for who you are, and I value warmth, gentleness, and compassion in our work together.

I use a psychodynamic approach informed by trauma-informed practices, liberation health, humanistic psychology, and various other schools and wisdom traditions. My work is also influenced by the therapists, guides, and teachers who have supported me along the way.

  • Psychodynamic therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps clients develop insight into conscious and unconscious thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influenced by life experiences, and create room for growth and change.

    Psychodynamic practice can be applied to individuals, couples, and groups, including family units.

    The psychodynamic approach relies on the interpersonal relationship between the therapist and the client or clients.

    People who have the capacity to be self-reflective and who are looking to develop insights into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are best suited to this type of therapy.

  • Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact of trauma on clients’ lives and seeks to create safe and supportive environments for healing and recovery.

    My approach to trauma-informed care includes collaborating with clients, offering different options for treatment, and avoiding practices and policies that might activate feelings associated with traumatic experiences.

    I try to be as transparent as possible with clients. My process is to:

    (1) establish safety and trust with you;

    (2) conduct an assessment of how past experiences are impacting your current well-being;

    (3) support you with processing traumatic memories, when you feel ready;

    (4) identify defense mechanisms and potentially unhelpful coping strategies;

    (5) work through transference and countertransference in our therapeutic relationship;

    (6) promote insight and integration.

  • Humanistic psychology emphasizes our inherent potential for growth and self-actualization.

    A humanistic approach to therapy accepts the whole person and views individuals as complex, unique, and interconnected with all other elements of the natural world.

    Humanistic therapy aims to create a supportive and empathetic environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and make choices that align with their own unique values.

  • I support clients interested in developing self-care strategies and coping skills to navigate hard moments.

    “Self-care” includes any behavior that supports your mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual well-being.

    Together, we support your involvement in things you already enjoy doing, and strengthen your ability to draw joy, meaning, and fulfillment from the activities and relationships that are important to you.

  • I support clients interested in starting or developing a mindfulness practice.

    Mindfulness practices are techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness and cultivate a non-judgmental attitude toward thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

    Some common mindfulness practices include meditation, yoga, and noticing sights, scents, and sounds in nature.

    I work with clients to draw conscious attention to the things they already enjoy, and do my best to infuse mindful self-compassion into our work together.

  • The liberation health model is a theory of human behavior that conceptualizes the challenges facing clients within the context of economic, political, cultural, and historical conditions.

    This method of practice helps people develop insight into the personal, cultural, and institutional factors that contribute to their challenges or impact their well-being and act to change these conditions.
