About My Clients
Most people I work with are adults who look like they’re managing but privately feel anxious, exhausted, numb, or stuck. They may have relied on overwork, drinking, avoidance, masking, or willpower to hold things together, and those strategies have stopped working. Often trauma, grief, burnout, or a loss of meaning is underneath. I work especially well with neurodivergent adults, men, and people moving through a major transition. We slow things down, get to the heart of it, and go from there.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Social Worker, and I hold an MSW and an Advanced Clinical Behavioral graduate certificate from Colorado State University. My clinical training grew out of community mental health, addiction and recovery, and integrated outpatient care. My style is relational, direct, and practical. I draw primarily on acceptance and commitment therapy, along with person-centered, existential, motivational, and narrative approaches. When structure helps, I incorporate selected CBT and DBT skills without turning therapy into a stack of worksheets.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe most suffering comes from disconnection, from ourselves, from others, from a sense of meaning. I don’t think people are broken, and I don’t work as though I have your answers. My role is to help you understand what you’re carrying, find your own footing, and develop tools that fit your actual life. I’m comfortable with questions of identity, spirituality, belief, and meaning, whether you’re secular, observant, questioning, or somewhere between. Outside of work, I keep bees and play guitar.
