Colorado Counseling and Coaching
Support for adults seeking clarity, boundaries, and help with complicated grief - telehealth across Colorado.
Specialties and Areas of Focus
I work with individuals who know they’ve experienced some tough things, and they know they are strong, but persistent grief, chronic worry, or complicated relationships keep interrupting their present peace.
-
Despite success or outward stability, you feel plagued by thoughts of impending financial, spiritual, physical, or relational loss.
-
Emotional or physical abuse, lack of predictable safety, confusing or anxious attachments, emotionally immature parents. These childhood experiences need continued support in adulthood.
-
Losses that linger, whose meaning impacts our connection to life and purpose.
-
Damaged trust in self and others, resulting from repeated exposure to manipulative, coercive, threatening, or violent experiences.
-
Evidence shows a high correlation between childhood trauma, recent critical life events, and nightmares. I use tools that have proven to bring significant relief to persistent nightmares.
-
Also called vicarious trauma… causes symptoms of PTSD, like intrusive thoughts, interrupted sleep and changes in behavior after exposure to disturbing events.
Telehealth Across Colorado
Virtual sessions are available for individual therapy, professional collaboration, and coaching.
Getting Started
Some say this is actually the hardest part. I’m here to help make the process simple, straightforward, and supportive. Let’s start with an initial, no-cost consultation, where you can let me know what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get the details that will help you know whether this feels like a good fit.
1
Ask Questions
Use my contact form to ask questions about therapy, billing, telehealth, or anything else.
2
Schedule a Free Consultation
We’ll spend 15-30 minutes talking about a game plan, and you have the chance to see if I’m a good fit.
3
Intake Session
The first session will take about 50 minutes, and we’ll spend it discussing what’s bothering you most, and begin to envision a path forward.
4
Establish a Plan
We start meeting weekly and monitor progress towards goals on a regular basis. It is common to decrease the frequency to every two weeks as we progress.
Insurance and Costs
I charge a flat rate of $160 for therapy sessions. I do not bill insurance, except for Cigna and United Healthcare, and most insurance plans come with some out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about this, I can explain further in our consultation.

Frequent Questions
Good to know before we get started.
-
Insurance billing requires a diagnosis, so if I am billing your Cigna or United Healthcare plan, I will supply a diagnosis and tailor treatment goals around it.
If you are paying privately (not billing insurance), a diagnosis is not necessary.
I can answer more questions about this on our consultation call.
-
Don’t worry, many people wonder this before they start therapy.
I will adjust the pace and topics as we go, ensuring that the work we do feels supportive, productive, and safe.
My goal is not to push you, but to walk alongside you on your journey.
-
We will collaborate on a timeline and discuss reasonable expectations during our initial conversation. It is common to devote 8 or more sessions to the most intense growth and insight.
“The most profound personal growth does not happen while reading a book or meditating. It happens in the throes of conflict, when you are angry, afraid, frustrated. It happens when you are doing the same old thing and you suddenly realize that you have a choice.”
