Sean begins by learning about each client’s history, concerns, goals, strengths, and support system. He works collaboratively to create realistic and meaningful treatment goals, tailoring care through CBT, Adlerian therapy, emotional regulation, communication skills, and problem-solving strategies. Sessions often include reflection, psychoeducation, and practical tools clients can apply in daily life, with ongoing adjustments based on progress and changing needs.

Most of my work as a therapist comes out of behavioral medicine, where I've spent a lot of time at the point that physical health and mental health meet. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I'm often working with people managing depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, or relationship difficulties, sometimes all at once. I care about reaching people in underserved communities who haven't always had access to this kind of support.

My approach centers on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A lot of what we do together is noticing patterns that get in the way, the ones quietly keeping you from better health, and then figuring out whether we can challenge them, reframe them, or replace them with something that actually works for you. I like to get underneath the behavior to the need it's trying to meet, because that's usually where lasting change starts. Sessions with me tend to be practical and collaborative; expect to do some honest looking at what's happening and why, and to leave with a clearer sense of the next step. When medication has a role, it's one part of a fuller plan, never the whole story.

What I'm really after is helping you grow into a version of yourself that feels more like you.

There's no rush to any of this. Reach out when the timing feels right for you, and we'll take it from there.

I'm a therapist, and I've spent 14 years working across a lot of different settings, from elementary school classrooms to inpatient and outpatient care, healthcare teams, and case management. That range shapes how I sit with people now. I see adults and older adults who are working through whatever brought them to therapy at this point in their lives, whether that's something recent or something they've been carrying for a while.

My approach is eclectic and built around the person in front of me rather than a formula. Depending on what fits, I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused and person-centered work. What matters more than the method, though, is trust, and I don't rush that part. The first session is relaxed. We spend it getting to know each other, talking through what's going on, what you're concerned about, and what you'd actually like to be different. From there we move at a comfortable pace, paying attention to your strengths and laying a foundation we can build on.

I think therapy works best when it's genuinely collaborative, so I'll check in with you about direction rather than deciding it for you. I want you to feel heard and supported, and I want the work to feel like ours.

If something is on your mind, bring it to a first visit and we'll start sorting through it together.

We spend it getting to know each other, talking through what's going on, what you're concerned about, and what you'd actually like to be different. From there we move at a comfortable pace, paying attention to your strengths and laying a foundation we can build on.

I think therapy works best when it's genuinely collaborative, so I'll check in with you about direction rather than deciding it for you. I want you to feel heard and supported, and I want the work to feel like ours.

If something is on your mind, bring it to a first visit and we'll start sorting through it together.

I'm a therapist with experience treating mood disorders, trauma, and the everyday stressors that pile up until they start running the show. I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth settings, so I've sat with people at a lot of different points, from a hard crisis to the slow work of putting a life back together. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and advanced EMDR, and I tend to draw on both body-based and mind-centered techniques rather than staying loyal to a single method.

I'm warm, but I'm also direct. If something isn't working, I'll say so, and I'd rather we name it together than talk around it. Our first session is mostly me getting to know your history, what brought you in, and what you're actually hoping will be different, so the plan we build fits your goals and not a formula. From there we set clear, meaningful targets and check whether we're moving toward them, session by session. I want you to feel heard and respected, and I want the work to add up to something you can measure.

Medication may be part of a larger plan for some people, but the therapy is the heart of what we do here. If you're ready to look at what's been weighing on you, we can start with a conversation and sort out the direction from there.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is adults and kids working through ADHD, anxiety, depression, and the messy stretches of life that don't come with instructions. Over nearly a decade in behavioral health, medical, educational, and community settings, I've spent a lot of my time on the practical side of things: how do you actually get through the day when your focus won't cooperate, or when everything feels like too much at once?

My approach is down-to-earth. I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, but what that really translates to in a session is us sorting through what's genuinely getting in your way and building real-world tools you can use. I care a lot about executive functioning, coping strategies, and the small habits that quietly reduce overwhelm over time. As a certified case manager, I can also help you connect the dots between therapy and the other supports in your life. Expect me to be authentic and respectful, and to tailor what we do to how you actually live, not to a template.

I work with both children and adults, so whether you're figuring this out for yourself or for a kid who's struggling, there's room for that here.

Deciding to look for a therapist takes something. If you've made it this far, you've already started the work; I'd be glad to help you take the next part.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on adults and older adults working through trauma, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, and the tangled combinations of these that rarely arrive one at a time. Over roughly twenty years, I've done individual, group, and family work, and I've spent the past several years practicing remotely with people from many different backgrounds. My training runs across DBT, ACT, CBT, trauma-informed care, family systems, motivational interviewing, and substance use treatment, so I can draw on what actually fits the person in front of me rather than one fixed method. I speak both English and Polish.

I'm a firm believer in meeting people at their own pace, so we accomplish your objectives at a speed that feels workable. Our first session is really an assessment: I want your background, what brought you in, and what you specifically hope therapy will do for you, so we can sketch a rough roadmap toward those aspirations. After that, I focus on what's actually standing in the way of your goals and what tools and supports might help you get past those barriers. From there we set smaller, weekly goals, the kind that add up to the larger changes you're after.

Reaching out for help takes some nerve, and if you've read this far, you've already started. When you're ready to begin that conversation, I'll be here.

I'm a therapist who focuses on adults navigating the kind of stress, trauma, and life transitions that don't resolve on their own. Over the last 30 years, I've worked across a wide range of settings: hospital and health systems, emergency rooms and psychiatric screening centers, and school- and community-based outpatient programs. That range taught me how to sit with people in the middle of a crisis and how to walk alongside them through the slower work that comes afterward. Along the way I've supervised social work students and served as a clinical director in community mental health, but what I keep coming back to is the one-on-one work with the person in front of me.

My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in the belief that care should fit around your life, not the other way around. I draw on acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness within a wellness-based frame, and I lean on CBT tools where they help. Early sessions tend to be about getting the full picture, your history, what's weighing on you, and what you actually want to be different, so we can decide together where to put our energy. I'll be straightforward with you, and I'll expect us to make those decisions as partners.

If that fits what you're after, reach out and we'll start with a conversation and shape the plan from there.

I'm a therapist who has spent over a decade in Northern Colorado working alongside people navigating trauma, substance use, mood disorders, anxiety, and the family conflict that so often tangles up with all of it. A lot of my career has been in the harder rooms: residential care for high-risk youth, inpatient psychiatric settings, intensive outpatient programs for mental health and recovery. I've sat with adolescents and adults at some of their lowest points, and I've learned that lasting change usually starts with getting honest about what's underneath the behavior, not just the behavior itself.

I lean on approaches like DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and recovery-oriented care, but I don't run anyone through a formula. I take a strengths-based approach, tailoring what we do to who you actually are, with the goal of helping you build a life worth living. Early on, I care about building real rapport and getting clear on where we're headed together. Sessions with me tend to be structured but upbeat: kind, direct, and grounded enough that you can explore your past and present selves without feeling exposed. I'll respect your autonomy every step of the way.

Reaching out for help takes more nerve than most people give themselves credit for. If you've gotten this far, you've already done the hardest part, and I'd be honored to take the next step with you.

I trained as a therapist, and I mostly work with adults navigating substance use alongside the mental health challenges that so often travel with it: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and shifts in mood that are hard to name on your own. Integrated care has been my focus for years, first in a setting where I sat with people managing both recovery and their emotional lives at the same time, and more recently in private practice, where I've worked with clients entirely through telehealth.

The methods I lean on tend to be practical. I draw on cognitive therapy, motivational enhancement, and logotherapy, which is really about helping you make sense of what's weighing on you and where you want to go next. In our early sessions, I'll ask a lot of questions about the stressors in front of you right now, less to catalog symptoms than to understand how they're actually landing in your daily life. I try to be honest and direct, and I'd rather we figure things out together than hand you a plan you didn't help build.

When medication is part of the picture, I've found that working closely with a physician keeps you more engaged in the therapy itself, and that partnership tends to make the whole thing hold together better.

If you're tired of managing recovery and everything underneath it by yourself, reach out and let's talk about where to start.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in talk therapy for adults who are living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or the quieter struggles that don't always have a name: strained relationships, a shaky sense of self-worth, the feeling that you're just going through the motions. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and much of my career has been spent with people navigating serious, persistent, and sometimes complicated experiences, from community mental health work to assessing risk and providing supportive therapy in a county jail. I don't take a one-size approach. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology, and I fit the work to the person sitting in front of me rather than the other way around.

People tell me I'm easy to talk to, and that matters to me. In a session, my aim is for you to feel able to say the things you don't usually say out loud, without bracing for judgment. My focus is practical: helping you build skills to manage your symptoms and get back to living, imperfections and all. When medication is part of the picture, I work alongside your psychiatrist so the whole plan holds together rather than pulling in different directions.

Curious whether the way I work would fit what you're looking for? A first visit is a good place to find out.

I'm a therapist who has spent about ten years treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the disorientation that comes with big life transitions. A lot of that work has been with people navigating change they didn't choose: young adults finding their footing, and immigrant communities carrying the weight of leaving one home for another. Early in my career I provided trauma-informed care for undocumented minors who arrived at the US border seeking refuge, and later I served in a federally qualified health center on the Southwest side of Chicago, in both the clinic and a school-based health center. Those settings shaped how I listen.

My work is collaborative and goal-focused, and I try to start by finding the strengths you already have rather than cataloging what's wrong. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, existential work, and mindfulness, and where it fits I bring in sports and health psychology, because physical activity can teach us real life skills, build self-esteem, and help us settle. Clients and colleagues have told me I have a calming presence and that I'm a good listener, and I'd rather earn your trust slowly than rush the pace. In a first session I mostly want to understand what brought you in and what you're hoping will feel different.

If that fits what you're after, I'd be happy to talk.

I trained as a marriage and family therapist, and I mostly work with adults across the whole span of life, from people in their late teens through those navigating their later years. I tend to see the person in context, looking at the various environments someone moves through and how those settings shape the way they feel and function. My clientele has spanned every life cycle, race, and medical need, and I've walked alongside people through medical diagnoses, grief, and the end of life, honoring all varieties of human beings as they come.

My approach is solution-focused at its core, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory, and grounded in trauma-informed and crisis intervention training (including an externship in Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr. Sue Johnson). In a first session, expect me to ask about the world you live in, not just the symptoms you carry, so we can figure out what's actually pressing on you. I start from the belief that every person arrives with a unique purpose, real strengths, and abilities worth drawing on. My job is to pair those with practical tools so the work belongs to you. When it's useful, I collaborate closely with the psychiatric clinicians here so care stays coordinated and personal.

Bring what's sitting on your mind to a first visit, and we'll work out where to go from there, together.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is adults and older teens working through anxiety, mood struggles, and the kind of life transitions that leave you unsure of what comes next. I work with people from about age 15 on up, and part of what I've learned across an inpatient psychiatric hospital, outpatient group practice, and PHP and IOP settings is that no two stories arrive the same way, even when the diagnosis on paper looks similar.

I tend to believe that every person has the ability to live a happy, healthy, engaging life, but sometimes you need an objective observer to help uncover what that life actually looks like for you. So a first session is really about hearing your story. I'll ask questions, listen for what matters to you, and start building from your strengths rather than handing you a formula. My approach leans client-centered and solution focused; I want us moving toward something, not just naming what's wrong. I draw on techniques like CBT and DBT where they fit, but the direction stays yours.

I genuinely care about the relationships I build in this work, and I put real time and energy into the healing process alongside the people I see. That matters to me more than any single method.

Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

Most of my work as a therapist spans a wide range of ages, from children as young as five to older adults, along with everyone in between. I've spent years in individual, family, and group settings, and I've learned that the same struggle looks different at eight than it does at eighty. I see people navigating complex trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety and social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, substance use, and the emotional weight of chronic medical issues and rare didiseases. I especially value working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and folks managing several things at once.

My approach is integrative. I lean on cognitive behavioral work, but I also draw from solution-focused and reality-based methods and positive psychology, because I take the mind-body connection seriously and want to understand how the different parts of your life are functioning together. I'm a firm believer that therapy is a partnership; we design your goals side by side, and I'll ask early on what has and hasn't worked for you before, so we don't repeat approaches that only left you frustrated. Early sessions are largely about me getting a clear picture of you as a whole person, so what we build actually fits your life and adjusts as your needs change.

If you've felt unseen or like past treatment missed the mark, I'd like to hear what brought you here and figure out a better fit together.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma in its many forms, and I've spent more than a decade in clinical practice. A lot of the people I sit with have lived through intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or the particular kind of trauma that comes from a serious medical or physical health problem. Some are working through substance use alongside all of that. Whatever brought you in, I want the plan we build to be thoughtful and to actually match what you need, not a template I hand every person who walks through the door.

My approach is trauma informed, culturally aware, and centered on you. I lean on training in EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing, and I choose the tool that fits the person rather than the other way around. In session, I'll encourage you to notice your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present moment, and to widen your own sense of freedom and well-being from there. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and I bring that same curiosity into the room with you.

I teach undergraduate and graduate social work students here in Colorado Springs because staying rooted in my local community matters to me. Mostly, I want to help you recognize your own strengths and hold some compassion for yourself as you go.

The first meeting is just a conversation about what you're facing; we sort out the direction together once I understand it.

I'm a therapist with experience treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, and the kind of relationship strain and life transitions that leave people unsure of their next step. I've worked with adolescents and adults across nonprofit organizations, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I'm licensed in both Michigan and South Carolina. A lot of the people I sit with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by change they didn't choose, and they're looking for a way to see their situation differently.

My approach is solution focused and practical. I draw on Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques, but I tailor what we do to you rather than running you through a formula. I'll follow your lead and move at the pace that fits you, not the one I think you should be at. A first session is really about getting a clear picture of what's happening in your life and what you'd like to be different, so we know where to start. I aim to be compassionate and collaborative without losing sight of the goal, which is helping you gain a new perspective and move toward a future that feels hopeful and even a little exciting again.

Bring whatever's been weighing on you to that first visit, and we'll start sorting through it together.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the mental health of older adults, and I've spent more than twelve years working alongside people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of chronic illness. Over the years I've sat with folks from a lot of different walks of life, including Veterans and caregivers, and I've learned that no two people arrive for the same reason or need the same thing.

I'd rather understand what actually matters to you than run through a checklist. So I start by learning what you care about and what's been getting in the way of feeling like yourself. From there, we figure things out together, at a pace that works for you. I'm honest and down to earth, and I try to bring some creativity into the room so the work feels practical rather than clinical. When it's useful, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and mindfulness to build tools you can actually use. People tend to tell me I'm easy to talk to, and I take that as a good sign that they feel heard.

My hope is to help you reconnect with some balance, purpose, and even joy, and to support real, lasting change along the way. Reach out when you're ready to start that work.

My work as a therapist centers on the practical, day-to-day challenges people are trying to manage right now. I earned my Master's in clinical social work from the University of Chicago, and over the years I've practiced in a wide range of settings: primary care centers, college campuses, and long-term care facilities for adults living with serious mental illness. That mix has taught me that no two people arrive for the same reason, so I don't run the same session twice.

Much of what I do is solution-focused. I draw mostly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I adjust the approach to fit the person in front of me rather than the other way around. Early on, I want to understand your history and what brought you in; from there we set clear, actionable goals tied to what actually matters to you. I see therapy as a genuinely collaborative process, one where I reinforce the strengths you already have while helping you build momentum toward change. I bring compassion and creativity to this work, and honestly, a sense of humor too. Sessions with me tend to feel like a working conversation, focused and forward-looking, not a lecture.

Whether you're an adult sorting through something new or navigating the later chapters of life, I'm glad to help you get practical about it. Reach out when you're ready to get started.

I trained as a licensed clinical social worker, and I mostly work with people navigating the practical and emotional weight of a health issue: medical recovery, an ongoing illness, or living with a disability. Over more than twenty years in crisis centers, hospitals, senior services, and the VA, I've spent a lot of time alongside caregivers, veterans, and families trying to hold everything together. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I've learned that each of those seasons of life asks for something a little different.

A lot of what I do is listen carefully before we settle on anything. I start by asking what you'd actually like to focus on, and then we shape goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you, not a plan I've decided on in advance. I'll move at the pace that fits you, and I put a lot of stock in open communication and mutual respect. Some people come to me because it's hard to say certain things to family or friends; my aim is to be a place where you can speak freely about the parts that feel difficult.

My work leans toward healing and building confidence, so you leave feeling a bit steadier than when you came in. I bring patience and compassion to it, but I'll also be honest with you.

If that fits what you're looking for, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in talk therapy, and over 31 years of practice I've worked as a clinical director, a director of treatment, and in private practice and direct care. I'm also certified in complex trauma treatment. Much of that experience has been with people who've survived sexual abuse and trauma, alongside adults, adolescents, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. I've also spent years working with couples.

What carries through all of it is a strong belief in human potential and resilience, in our capacity to move through the obstacles and barriers life puts in front of us. I don't work from a single method, because people don't fit into one. Depending on what you're facing, we might draw on cognitive behavioral work, a psychodynamic lens, psychoeducation, or mindfulness. Early on, that means I ask a lot of questions and pay attention to how the pieces of your history fit together before we settle on where to focus.

Outside of clinical hours, I volunteer with survivors of sexual human trafficking, doing clinical assessments and public awareness work. That commitment shapes how seriously I take the people who sit across from me.

Wherever you're starting from, we begin with a conversation, get a clear read on what's going on, and build the direction of the work together as we go.

I'm a therapist who has worked across residential programs, schools, outpatient clinics, correctional settings, and now telehealth. That range has taught me how to connect with people from very different walks of life, and it means I don't come in with one fixed idea of what your situation should look like. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I try to tailor my support to whatever's actually in front of me rather than a template.

The way I work is collaborative from the start. I begin with a thorough intake to understand your history, your concerns, and what you're actually hoping to change, and from there we set goals that are realistic and mean something to you. I lean on a strengths-based approach, which for me is less a slogan than a habit: I'm looking for the skills and resilience you already have and building on them. You'll set the pace, and as your needs shift, I'll adjust what we're doing so the work stays relevant instead of running on autopilot. Expect me to be honest with you and to keep checking whether we're heading somewhere useful.

I earned my Master's from the Indiana University School of Social Work and am licensed in Indiana, Illinois, and Texas. Not sure whether this is the right fit for you? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on adults and older adults who want a place to think through what's been weighing on them. Most of my career has been in outpatient settings, working with people who are looking for steady, practical support for their mental health rather than a quick fix.

My style is patient-centered, and I lean on empathy, respect, and understanding in every conversation. I've found that therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, so I spend the first session getting to know your background, your challenges, and what you're actually hoping to change. From there, we build a treatment plan together, shaped around your specific needs rather than a formula I bring in from the outside. I move at your pace, and I won't push you toward growth faster than feels right. I'd rather we go one clear step at a time than rush toward something that doesn't hold.

I trained at the University of Maryland, where I grounded myself in evidence-based clinical practice, but the part that matters most to me is the relationship: a warm, comfortable space where you can talk openly about your experiences without worrying about being judged for them.

Whether you're 25 or 75, the questions that bring people to therapy tend to be more alike than different. Curious whether we'd work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

Most of my work as a therapist, over the last twenty years, is with individuals, couples, and families dealing with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the kind of stress that comes with demanding work or college life. I'm bilingual, so I see clients in both English and Spanish, and I work with people across the age range, from teenagers to older adults. A lot of my earlier career was spent in places most people don't associate with therapy: skilled nursing and Alzheimer's care, a rehabilitation hospital, crisis response alongside police, and community mental health serving people who often go underserved. That history taught me to look at the whole picture, not just the symptom.

I work in a collaborative, systems-oriented way, which means I pay attention to the personal, cultural, and environmental factors shaping what you're going through. Early on, we do a thorough assessment and set clear goals, then check in on progress regularly using tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 so we can actually see what's moving. Sessions tend to blend practical skill-building with mind-body techniques, things like paced breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, drawing on CBT, EFT, IFS, and attachment work depending on what fits. I value measurable progress, and I'll be honest with you about it.

The first step is just a conversation about what brought you here; from there, we build the plan together and adjust as we go.

Most of my work as a therapist is with people carrying the weight of trauma, PTSD, and grief, along with adults navigating postpartum struggles, ADHD, and the particular pressures that come with being LGBTQ+. I've worked across non-profits, schools, academic settings, and private practice, and I especially connect with clients looking for care that pays attention to culture, context, and the full story behind what brought them in. I see adolescents, children, and adults, and I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.

My approach draws on narrative counseling and Internal Family Systems, or "parts" work, to help people re-story their experiences rather than feel defined by them. I also use EFT Tapping for trauma, anxiety, depression, and pain. I work from the belief that you're the one who knows your own life best, so I lean on Motivational Interviewing and harm reduction to support real self-determination rather than hand you a prescribed path.

A first session usually starts with me getting clear on what brought you here and beginning to build a relationship worth trusting. From there we set goals that are concrete and achievable, and I'll be transparent with you as we shape a plan that fits your strengths and your pace. I value open communication and I'll name what I'm noticing rather than keep it to myself.

Bring what's been sitting with you to a first visit, and we'll begin sorting through it together.

I'm a therapist who focuses on the concerns that adults carry through their whole lives: depression and mood, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and the self-criticism and shame that often sit underneath all of it. Over more than 15 years, I've worked across a lot of settings, from academic outpatient clinics and community health centers to the VA, EAP services, residential programs, clinical research, and HIV/AIDS service organizations. I have a particular passion for working with the LGBTQ community, and I also spend a lot of time with people navigating major life transitions, social discontent, and the emotional weight of medical conditions like HIV/AIDS.

My style is warm, authentic, and direct, and I'd rather be honest with you than tell you what's comfortable to hear. The work is individualized and built around goals we define together. Practically, I lean skills-based, most often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy inside a relationship that stays client-centered and attachment-focused. A lot of what we do looks at how your perspective, your assumptions, and the stories you tell about yourself feed the distress, and then we turn that into concrete action plans you can actually use. I see therapy as a collaborative process aimed at real change and a life that lines up with your values.

Curious whether this kind of work fits what you're looking for? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist specializing in talk therapy for individuals, teens, couples, and families. Over 26 years, I've worked across a lot of different clinical settings, both in person and through telehealth, and I'm licensed in 12 states, which has kept me close to one steady conviction: good behavioral health care should actually be reachable for the people who need it.

My sense is that meaningful change starts with feeling heard and understood, so that's where I begin. I like to talk things through at a pace that feels manageable to you, without rushing toward a fix before I understand what's really going on. I usually start with a comprehensive assessment that covers your personal history, what's bringing you in right now, and where you'd like things to head. From there, we set individualized goals together and build a practical plan I'll adjust as we go and as you make progress. I try to stay open and approachable in the room; trust, collaboration, and respect aren't slogans for me, they're the conditions that make the work possible.

Whether you're a teenager trying to make sense of things, a couple stuck in the same argument, or an adult who just wants a thoughtful person to think alongside, my door is open. When you're ready to start talking things through, I'll be here to listen and figure it out with you.

Most of my work as a therapist is with adults across a wide stretch of life, from young adulthood through the senior years. I'm a clinical trauma counselor, and over the years I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which means I'm comfortable with crisis intervention and risk assessment as well as steadier, week-to-week work. I also see couples and families, and I've provided telehealth since 2017. This is a judgment-free practice for everyone who comes to me, including people in poly relationships.

My style is warm and conversational, and it's grounded in wellness. I'll challenge you at times, but I do it in a supportive, non-confrontational way, never to put you on the spot. You set the goals; my job is to guide, ask questions, and explore alongside you. Our first session is mostly about your history, your life experiences, and any counseling you've done before, so I understand where you're coming from before we shape a plan together. I like attainable goals and steady progress, the kind where you feel just a bit more well today than you did in past days. I check in regularly about how our work is going, because your safety, comfort, and sense of fit matter to me, and I genuinely want your feedback.

If steady, collaborative progress toward feeling more well sounds like the pace you're after, reach out and let's talk.
