Secure video counseling for adults and couples across Colorado
Counseling that meets you where you are
I offer secure online counseling for adults and couples across Colorado. You can meet from a private place that works for you—without a commute or needing to live near an office. I also hold a separate Arizona LPC license and can work with clients physically located in Arizona.
Most people who call are somewhere they did not plan to be. Something is not working and the usual ways of handling it have stopped helping. The work starts there, with what is actually happening, rather than with a plan to become someone else.
- Anxiety, worry, and depression
- Addiction and recovery
- Relationships and couples counseling
- Life transitions, grief, and loss
What people seek counseling for
There is no wrong reason to call, and you do not need a diagnosis or the right words for it. The concerns that come up most often are these:
- Personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder and related personality patterns
- Anxiety, worry, and the sense of being permanently braced for something
- Depression, low mood, and loss of interest in things that used to matter
- Addiction and recovery, including the years after stopping
- Relationship and couples work, communication, and repair after a breach of trust
- Grief and loss, including losses that others expect you to be over
- Anger, and what sits underneath it
- Life transitions, work stress, and the question of what you actually want
How I work
I practise Gestalt therapy. In plain terms, that means we pay attention to what is happening as it happens — in your life and during our video conversation — rather than spending the hour analysing your history from a distance. Awareness comes first, and change tends to follow it rather than the other way round.
It is a conversation, not a questionnaire. You will not be handed a worksheet or told what your problem is in the first ten minutes.
Online sessions, fees, and payment
Sessions run about an hour by secure video for clients across Colorado. An intake session is $165, individual sessions are $145, and couples sessions are $185.
Active-duty service members, veterans, and first responders receive discounted rates on counseling sessions.
I am no longer taking on new clients who want to use insurance, so if you are starting now, sessions are self-pay. I want you to know that before deciding whether to reach out.
Before you call
The first phone call is free and there is no obligation attached to it. It is a chance to describe what is going on, ask whatever you want to ask, and get a sense of whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
