Now offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
KAP can be a powerful, transformational treatment modality. Ketamine disrupts ordinary consciousness and can help to shift one’s thinking out of habitual cycles of negative thoughts and emotional states. Like freshly fallen snow, it is thought that ketamine can clear out the ruts and provide a smooth surface to move forward. KAP may also help facilitate profound transpersonal and mystical experiences. Such experiences may offer important clarity and insight into one’s struggles, add a deeper dimension to ongoing therapeutic work, and facilitate a sense of meaning and interconnectedness.

Experience Matters
Let me help you uncover your highest wisdom and live your deepest truth
Far too often, people consider seeking counseling a sign of weakness. However, that is not that case. It takes tremendous courage to move through the pain and live the life of your dreams. I love helping clients identify their wisdom, hope, and strength that exist despite their fears. Counseling with me can nourish your soul and help to heal your painful wounds.
I have been serving clients in Denver, Colorado and around the globe for over 20 years with my motivational, inspirational, and solution-focused counseling. I am honored to have provided training and counseling to our U.S. Military members and families as a contractor with the Department of Defense beginning in January 2009.
I am proud to have served as the President of the Colorado Counseling Association in 2015-16. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Master Addiction Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver in 2001 with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with a marriage and family focus. I graduated from the University of Denver and the Iliff School of Theology joint PhD program in Religious Studies focusing upon spiritual psychology. My Ph.D. dissertation provides a new evidenced based, intercultural approach to the spiritually focused clinical care of gay men in committed relationships who identify as spiritual but not religious.
As a published author on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I use my extensive experience and skills to help you discover and take action toward living your own solutions. My years of experience and training in many areas of counseling have provided me with a wide variety of tools to help you find your path to meaning, connection, and happiness.
My services can help with the following in Denver, Colorado and surrounding Colorado areas:
My approach to therapy includes SFBT techniques. These techniques focus on your best hopes for yourself, and looks at what is working in your life instead of concentrating on what is not working. However serious your problems are, we can work together to identify what does, and what will help you get through this. At the very least, we can work to identify the coping skills that are assisting you in keeping your head above water. We all have wisdom to generate solutions to our problems but sometimes we forget our own power. I can help your rediscover what you might have once known about who you truly are. In our personal counseling sessions, I will ask thought-provoking questions that aid in remembering your past solutions and help you understand how to use past solutions to handle problems in the future.
There is a myth floating around that Solution Focused practitioners don’t focus on feelings. This couldn’t be further from the truth (at least for me). I focus on feelings all of the time in my sessions! I am constantly recognizing and affirming the joy, the enthusiasm, the hope, the ecstasy, the excitement, the giddiness, the lightness, the optimism, that comes with exploration of possibilities with my clients. You are well aware of the pain, the sadness, the grief, the darkness, the pain that you are dealing with. More often than not, you have spent days, weeks, months, years even, marinating in and ruminating about your painful feelings. I believe that it is my job as a counselor to acknowledge and honor your painful feelings, and to help you explore opportunities and possibilities. Often, this will elicit different feelings than what you have been experiencing around your problems. Like an emotional scavenger hunt, I help you explore hope, happiness, meaning, and joy despite the circumstance or events of your life that bring you to counseling.

What's the difference between a Licensed Professional Counselor and other mental health clinicians in Colorado?
Registered Psychotherapist:
Colorado is the only state that allows anyone to register with the Department of Regulatory Agencies as a Registered Psychotherapist without any sort of education, training, experience, continuing education requirements or background. If you choose to see someone who is unlicensed, be aware that they may not have any training, education, testing, experience, or continuing education in the field. Basically, in Colorado, anyone can hang up a shingle, register with the state and call themselves a "Psychotherapist." Keep in mind there are many qualified unlicensed individuals who are registered with the state department of regulatory agencies. As a consumer of mental health services, I would encourage you to ask your clinician if they are licensed or registered and to ask about their background, education, continuing education, and training.
Licensed Professional Counselors:
LPCs must have a Master's Degree in their profession from an accredited program. They must pass a national certification exam, and must have a minimum of two years post-graduation supervised experience and at least 2,000 contact hours with clients.

Master Addiction Counselor
Certified Addiction Technician (CAT) must be a high school graduate, complete required training hours and 1,000 hours of supervised experience.

Others:

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Professional Counselor must hold a master’s degree in their profession and have two years of post-masters supervision.
