About My Clients
Most couples and individuals I work with have been running the same argument for a while. It escalates or goes quiet. Either way, it doesn't resolve. They come in saying they have communication problems, and they're right, but that's rarely the whole picture. Underneath most conflict is a negative cycle both people are caught in. Neither is the villain. Both are stuck. They want to understand what's actually driving it and start working on something real.
My Background and Approach
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in consulting and technology. That shapes how I work: direct, outcome-focused, not interested in sessions that drift. The work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Both have strong research behind them. EFT helps couples identify the emotional cycle beneath their conflict and start moving toward each other instead of past each other. The Gottman Method adds concrete, research-backed tools for communication and repair. I also draw on Relational Life Therapy (RLT) when a couple needs honest accountability alongside better communication skills. Sessions don't feel like venting. They feel like progress on something real. I'm an MFTC at Blueprint Relationship Therapy in Cherry Creek, Denver. In-person and virtual sessions available throughout Colorado. $180/session. Many clients offset costs through out-of-network benefits via Mentaya.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people genuinely want to be in safe, secure relationships. Not perfect ones. Just ones where they feel known and like they're on the same team as their partner. I believe people can grow. And most people want to. They just need a real framework and someone willing to be honest with them about what's actually happening. I believe accountability in a relationship isn't a punishment. It's what makes real repair possible. I believe conflict in a relationship isn't a sign that something's broken. It's usually a sign that something matters. Most couples just need better tools for what to do with it. I believe the patterns we learned growing up, from the families we came from, follow us into adulthood in ways most people don't fully see until something starts breaking down. That's not a flaw. It's just human. Outside of the office, I'm usually in the mountains or reading research on attachment and relational science.
