Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lone Tree, CO

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past thirty years. I have worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.

"I believe that clinical credentials are only part of the process of selecting a therapist. To that end, I offer a free fifteen-minute consultation to determine if I'm the right therapist for you."

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to identity and self-worth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and practical, with a focus on helping clients better understand their emotions, recognize patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts and experiences.

As a U.S. Army veteran and former Army behavioral health professional, I have a particular interest in working with veterans, service members, first responders, and individuals who have experienced high-stress environments. I also enjoy working with men around issues that can sometimes be difficult to discuss openly, including emotional expression, relationships, anger, shame, identity, performance pressure, and life purpose.

As a Mandarin-speaking Asian American therapist, I am especially interested in supporting Asian and Asian American clients navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics, intergenerational differences, identity, perfectionism, emotional expression, and the pressure to meet high personal or family standards.

My clinical background includes work in hospital-based behavioral health, intensive outpatient treatment, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use treatment, crisis assessment, and military behavioral health. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and other evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches based on each client's individual needs.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest, curious, and human. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you better understand yourself, build greater emotional flexibility, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful changes that extend beyond the therapy room.
