Who I work best with
People who sense that life could feel different.
They aren’t always sure how to get there. They long for a deeper connection with themselves and within their relationships, and they’re looking for a greater sense of life satisfaction.
We are all actively working through old patterns and trying to become more fully and authentically ourselves.
As a client once taught me, “the greatest privilege of a lifetime is to be yourself.” As a gay man, around half of my clients are also part of queer communities. I work with men navigating healthy masculinity, romantic relationships — or their desire for one — vulnerability, self-worth, and what it means to be more at peace with themselves. Many of my clients are also women and straight-identified folks navigating many of these same questions in their own lives. I have worked with people as young as 17 and as wise as 70+.
My approach is particularly helpful for people who are looking not only for symptom relief, but for a greater understanding of themselves and more freedom in their lives. I also help people explore what spirituality means to them — whether through an existing spiritual practice, curiosity about something deeper, or simply a desire for greater meaning and connection.

Common questions
A few things people often ask
How do I know which approach is right for me?
You don’t need to know. That’s part of what we figure out together. Most people I work with move fluidly between IFS, EMDR, and Brainspotting depending on what’s alive in a given session.
In practice, IFS tends to be where we live day-to-day. EMDR and Brainspotting come in when we’re working with specific memories, stuck body states, or overwhelm that talking alone hasn’t shifted.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you’re bringing and what you want out of the work. Some people come for a focused piece of work over a few months. Others stay longer because they’ve found something worth investing in.
We’ll talk openly about progress along the way — and about ending — so it’s always your choice, not a default.
Do we meet in person or online?
Both. I see clients in person in Denver and online across Colorado, Massachusetts, and New York.
What if I've never done therapy before?
You’re in good company. Many of the people I work with are trying this for the first time. There’s no right way to show up — you don’t need a polished story or clarity about what’s ‘wrong.’ Curiosity is enough.
What about fees and insurance?
50-60 minute sessions are $225. I’m out of network with insurances and will help you file for reimbursement from your insurance. I reserve a number of pay-what-you-can spots, including pro bono, for those who otherwise may not be able to afford therapy. A free 20-minute consultation call comes before we begin.
How do we start?
Reach out through the contact page, by email, or by phone. We’ll set up a brief consultation call — no pressure — and see if it feels like a fit.
If it turns out we’re not the right fit, that’s okay too. I also know many therapists I can recommend.
