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

I'm a psychologist helping clients to navigate transition and overcome destructive patterns. I have expertise in treating anxiety, ocd, adhd, trauma, depression, addiction, recovery, and relationship challenges. I've had a private practice for over 10 years and work with adult clients at all stages of life. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies, with intensive training at the Portia Bell Hume Center, Kaiser, UCSF, VA and the Jung Institute.

I am a depth-oriented clinical psychologist who treats clinical symptoms through traditional talk therapy. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and mind-body symptoms without a clear medical origin (psychosomatics). I specialize in spiritual, religious, and existential issues. I earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a leading school for depth psychology in the world.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.

I offer individual, couples, premarital, marriage, family, child, and adolescent counseling. The environment is a non-judgmental, safe place of acceptance. I will walk along side and help you develop strength and peace. I offer ways that can be helpful in managing trauma, stress, and dealing with communication and trust within relationships. My goal is to help you access internal resources and make adjustments that can be helpful. Since 2013, my focus has been working with individuals who are dealing with a variety of issues, including trauma. I enjoy working with a diverse population including individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief, to develop a plan to bring positive changes.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and modern approach that helps you

move forward instead of getting stuck in the past. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt it missed

the mark, or if you’re hesitant to begin, my style is supportive, goal-oriented, and centered

around real progress. Together, we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths,

and create meaningful steps toward lasting change.

With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.

I enjoy helping clients learn skills to help them self-empower and get 'unstuck' from current barriers, and find their way to a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

I became a therapist after working for 15 years in international development and humanitarian assistance. After doing my own therapeutic work, I learned that I might be more helpful as a therapist, focusing on individual lives, rather than on systems. Being a therapist matched my personality traits, especially related to empathy, and it felt like a good fit. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with veterans, immigrants and refugees, and survivors of trauma. This experience showed me how therapy can help people feel better, heal, and recover no matter what happened in their lives. Over time, I've observed my clients feel more hopeful, relaxed, and at peace.

My communication style is empathetic and clear to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I listen deeply and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If you are nervous or working through something difficult, I will be receptive and calm.
