I was born and raised in Colorado. In my late 20's I moved to Florida and lived there for about 12 years. While I was in Florida I met my wife whom was from Colorado too. After we were married we decided to return to Colorado. I started counseling and working with people while I lived in Florida and continued after I moved to Colorado. I have been counseling and working with people for about 20 years. Over the past 20 years it has been a privilege to help people and to be a part of their lives for a short time and help them through struggles such as life changes, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and relationship issues. As I have worked with people with these struggles and many others I believe in treating everyone with respect compassion. I believe therapeutic rapport is one of the most important aspect of the therapeutic relationship. Therefore, In every session I will endeavor to create an atmosphere where you feel heard, safe, trust, and respect so you feel comfortable being open about what is troubling you. Each session will be tailored to you, your needs and goals, and the treatment plan you establish. Reaching out for help and talking to a therapist is never easy and requires a lot of courage.

Many of the clients I work with come to therapy carrying challenges that are rooted in relationships—past or present. While trauma can occur in many ways, it most often develops within the context of our connections with others. My ideal clients are those who sense that their life isn’t where they want it to be, even if they can’t yet identify the “how” or “why.” The beliefs they’ve developed about their experiences can lead to distorted views of themselves and their worth, making it difficult to form the deep, meaningful relationships they desire. In our work together, my first goal is to build the trust and rapport needed for a genuine therapeutic relationship. From there, I’ll help you identify what needs to change and support you in taking the steps necessary to create that change—while also holding you accountable in a compassionate, encouraging way. Many people are used to mistaking criticism for motivation, especially from themselves, but that pattern can shift. I truly love what I do, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can feel grounded, safe, and fully yourself. Together, we’ll address the work ahead in a way that feels both manageable and empowering. If you’re ready to begin your path toward healing, I’m ready to walk that journey with you. I look forward to meeting you and getting started.

I'm so glad you are here. My practice offers an individualized approach that focuses on empowering you. Is life filled with stress? Do you feel anxious, unhappy, or just exhausted all the time? Trauma and wounds impact all of us, and repair work is a process. Feeling stuck in the past or a painful experience is something that does not have to be the way you walk through the world. I believe that healing takes place when we feel understood. My hope is to guide you through a process with gaining a sense of control on your journey and to create an upward momentum. I have found my style works best by listening to reflect your experience, exploring and understanding the root cause of your concerns, collaborating to establish a shared purpose, and developing a plan that supports your goals. It's wonderful that you've taken this first step. I'd love to learn more about what you're needing and see if we may be a good fit to work together. My practice offers both day and evening hours. Please reach out to connect.

Find a therapist near you in Boulder, Colorado

Finding a therapist near you in Boulder, Colorado starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Colorado is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Colorado, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Colorado, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Colorado

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Colorado, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Colorado

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.
