Therapy can be a great fit if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking personal growth. It’s for anyone who wants to explore their emotions, gain clarity, or improve relationships. If you're open to self-reflection and ready to make positive changes, therapy can be a valuable tool. Trust your instincts. if you’re wondering if therapy is right for you, that’s often a good sign to explore it further. We can work together to determine if it’s the right path for you!

Finding the right therapist is personal; it’s about connection. You should feel heard, understood, and safe. Their approach should match your needs. Share your goals early on to ensure they can support you, and don’t be discouraged if they suggest a better fit. Practical factors matter too—location, availability, and cost should be manageable, not stressful. Most importantly, trust your gut!

Therapy is an investment, not just financially, but in your time, energy, and well-being. The cost varies depending on your goals and how long we work together, but what you gain can be truly life changing. While I can’t promise specific outcomes, I can say from experience that investing in yourself and your relationships is one of the most meaningful choices you can make.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary (a CACREP-accredited program) and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC #0022929) in Colorado. I specialize in adults, men’s issues, couples counseling, and parent coaching.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent 15 years as a structural engineer. I’m a licensed Professional Engineer (CE #79401) and Structural Engineer (SE #6603) in California and previously held licenses in multiple states.

The number of sessions varies based on your goals, needs, and pace. Many start with weekly sessions for a few months to a year, then taper off when it feels right. Others prefer biweekly sessions, which can extend therapy but still be effective. Ultimately, the pace is up to you!

I don’t take insurance, but I can provide monthly receipts (“superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance company or Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to help!

Yes to all three! In-person sessions can sometimes accelerate progress, but research shows that online and hybrid therapy are just as effective. If virtual or hybrid sessions make therapy more sustainable for you, let’s go with what works best!

I understand life happens. If you miss a session, there's no charge the first time. After that, missed sessions without 24-hour notice will incur the full fee. I appreciate your understanding, as this helps me provide the best service to all my clients.

I approach counseling from a blend of cognitive behavioral, family systems, and strengths-based perspectives. This means I focus on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while considering the broader systemic influences (like family and culture) and leveraging your strengths.

I believe counseling is a journey of change, exploration, and growth. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, it’s my responsibility to bring the highest level of professional expertise to our work together. My goal is to provide a supportive, encouraging, and challenging environment that fosters your growth. I may suggest readings, "homework," or recommend consulting a physician if medical treatment or medication is necessary.

In the first session, we’ll get to know each other and discuss your goals and concerns. We’ll talk about your current situation, challenges, and relevant personal history, but only share what you’re comfortable with. This is also your time to ask me any questions about myself, the therapy process, or how we can work together. The goal is to build trust and start creating a plan that aligns with your needs and goals.

My home office is in Candelas, northwest Arvada (16702 West 95th Lane, Arvada, CO 80007). I also offer virtual sessions for clients anywhere in Colorado.
