“Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” – Albert Einstein
The fact that you are reading this likely means that you or someone you care about is going through a difficult time. You want a way out but may be confused about what that looks like–or if it is even possible. You want to be able to trust that your investment in time, money, and energy will result in a tangible benefit. You want to see more connection, peace, understanding, and joy in your life.
You don’t want to be judged; you want help. You don’t want to be seen as broken: You are not broken. You don’t want to be seen as a diagnosis: Your identity is far more dynamic and nuanced than a list of symptoms. The problem that you would like to see solved has likely been a burden for quite some time, perhaps having become worse–or better–recently, but still persists to a degree that is blocking a life that you would like to see for yourself.
No feeling is final
Whether you are struggling with worry, panic, obsessions and compulsions, anger, loneliness, hopelessness, sadness, low self-esteem, thoughts of suicide, relationship problems, or a combination of all of the above, please know that many of us have been there, and that, as poet Rainer Maria Rilke said, “no feeling is final.”
No matter how deep and dark of a space you feel you are in please know that you don’t have to be alone. In fact, the isolation you are likely feeling could be the worst part. People care about you. I care about you. Change is possible.
Therapy can lead to lasting changes!
While I have learned a lot of important things in my education to become a therapist, I believe that who I am as person is what guides me most in my work. I greatly value interacting with others in a way that demonstrates hope, respect, and thoughtfulness.
I’ve helped hundreds of people move beyond problematic patterns in their lives and encourage you to look at some of my online reviews in order to get a better sense of how therapy with me has led to lasting changes for my clients.
Many people I have worked with over the years report to me that the people in their lives–even with the best intentions at times–simply don’t know how to help them with their emotional distress. These people in your life might even contribute to your distress through communication patterns that can result in you feeling alone and hopeless that things can improve. Therapy can change these patterns!
I have found that being a male therapist can be especially helpful for both men and women because traditionally there has been a gap in how men and women express their feelings, and I am passionate about bridging this gap.
My practice serves individual teens and adults, as well as couples and families. The most common issues I work with are:
- Anxiety
- OCD
- Depression
- Communication Skills
- Anger
- Self-Esteem
- Trauma
- Assertiveness
- Grief and Loss
- Relationship Problems
- Personal Growth
- Life Transitions
I have a special interest in helping people improve their relationships through better communication. As a therapist, my main goal in working with you will be to facilitate increased understanding of yourself and others. Such understanding, combined with effective communication skills that I can help you learn, will create an opportunity for you to become more satisfied with yourself and your relationships.
In our work together, know that I will be nonjudgmental, authentic, empathic, patient, and thoughtful in helping you to experience yourself and your relationships with a renewed sense of connection, peace, understanding, and joy. So, if you’re in search of a psychotherapist or counselor in Denver, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me today.
