Your journey continues here.

Before I was a therapist, I worked in a cognitive-affective science lab, helping write and publish research on meditation, compassion, and emotion regulation. I loved the science, and I kept noticing what the data pointed at: real change happens in relationship, in practice, in a life actually lived. So I went to the room where that happens.

These days I split my time between this practice and Naropa University's Graduate School of Clinical Mental Health Counseling Psychology, where I help train new therapists in foundational counseling skills, Gestalt, and the application of mindfulness in counseling. I also consult with businesses and organizations on mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Teaching keeps me honest: if I can't explain why something works, I don't use it.

In session I'm direct and unpretentious. No performance, no clinical distance, nobody on a pedestal. Some weeks the work is concrete: skills to regulate your nervous system, a plan for the pattern that keeps biting you. Other weeks it's a deep conversation about the nature of the self. MBCT, PACT, Gestalt, IFS, and depth psychology are the tools I reach for most, and I fit the tool to you, not the other way around.

I specialize in neurodivergence, particularly ADHD, and in couples who love each other and want their spark back. Depression, anxiety, and substance use recovery are common concerns in my practice. My clients tend to be thoughtful people who want more than symptom management: they're asking who they are and what they want.

I've had my own dark nights of the soul, and those experiences live in how I show up. I'm not going to pathologize you for being human. Outside this work you'll find me with family and friends, or in the mountains: skiing, surfing, climbing, and trail running. Colorado is a good place to remember you have a body.
