Questions people usually ask before we start.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit. If something feels off, stuck, or heavier than it used to — that's enough of a reason. A free consultation is a low-pressure way to explore whether we're a good fit.

Both individual and couples sessions are 55 minutes. Some clients occasionally schedule longer sessions when we're doing deeper trauma work.

Most people start weekly, which builds momentum. Once things feel more stable, we often move to every other week. You always have a say in the pace.

No — my practice is 100% virtual. I offer secure video sessions to clients anywhere in Colorado, so you can meet from home, your car on a lunch break, or wherever you feel most yourself.

There is. His name is Summit. My rescue mutt therapy dog in training occasionally wanders into frame during video sessions — a soft snore off-camera, a paw on the keyboard, an unsolicited nose in the webcam. He has no clinical credentials yet and zero opinions on your childhood, but many clients tell me he's a highlight of their week. His preferred payment is a belly rub after the session. If you'd rather not share the screen with him, just say so and he'll go nap elsewhere. Probably.

Individual and couples sessions are $100 for 55 minutes. I also reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who need them — just ask.

I'm in-network with a wide range of plans including Aetna (AmeriBen, CoreSource, EBMS, Gravie, Marpai, Meritain, WebTPA), Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, BlueCross and BlueShield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna (Cigna A2, HealthPartners, EAP), ClaimDOC, Denver Health Medical Plan, Devoted Health, FAIROS powered by OccuNet, First Choice Health, Headspace EAP/Care, Kaiser, Lucent Health, Medical Mutual, Medicare Advantage, Partners Direct, Prime Health, Sana Benefits, SelectHealth, Simplified Benefits Administrators, UMR Monument Health Plan, Unity Preferred Network, Unity Preferred Workers Comp, Velocity National Provider Network, and Velocity National Provider Network Workers Comp. If you're unsure whether your specific plan is covered, just ask — I'm happy to verify before we meet.

My private-pay rate is $100 per session. I also consider sliding scale in some situations — just ask.

Yes. Therapy is confidential with a few narrow legal exceptions (like risk of imminent harm or abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult). We'll go over these in our first session.

I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, somatic therapy, and mindfulness — all inside a trauma-informed and strength-based frame. Which combination we use depends on you.

No — as an LCSW I don't prescribe. If medication seems worth exploring, I'll help you connect with a trusted psychiatrist or your primary care doctor and coordinate care.

Yes. Many individual clients occasionally invite a partner or family member for specific sessions. We'd talk about it first to make sure it supports your work.

That's really common, and it's worth talking about. Fit and approach make a huge difference, and 'therapy' can mean very different things. I'd want to hear what worked and what didn't, and we can figure out what might be different this time.

Yes — this is one of my favorite populations. I work with current athletes, former athletes, and anyone who wants to use the body — walking, stretching, breath, mindful movement — as part of healing. Rebuilding identity after injury, retirement, or burnout is deep, specific work, and I've walked with a lot of people through it.

It depends on what you're working on. Some people come for a specific goal and finish in a few months. Others stay for a season of deeper work. We'll talk about it openly along the way.

We spend time getting to know each other — your story, what brought you in, what you're hoping for. I ask questions and you share as much as feels right. It's not a formal intake or a script.

The easiest way is to book a free 15-minute consultation. We'll talk for a bit and figure out next steps together. No pressure to commit.
