For over 15 years, I've helped people reconnect with themselves during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. Whether they're struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, my goal is the same: to help them move toward greater freedom, connection, and purpose.
Over the past seven years, I've specialized in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. During that time, I've also personally trained well over a thousand clinicians, physicians, and other healthcare professionals in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
In the late 1990s, after moving to Colorado, I came to a painful realization: somewhere along the way, I had lost myself.
Addiction had been part of my life since my early teens. I'd experienced periods of recovery and genuinely believed I had put it behind me, only to find myself slipping back into familiar patterns. My relationships were falling apart. I felt isolated. It had been years since I'd done one of the things that brought me to Colorado in the first place, skiing in the mountains.
My substance use had gradually narrowed my life. The things that mattered most were slowly disappearing.
I knew something had to change.
Recovery taught me that understanding my patterns was necessary, but it wasn't enough. Insight alone doesn't create lasting change. I had to learn how to relate differently to my thoughts, emotions, and deeply ingrained habits. I also discovered that healing wasn't something I could accomplish alone. It grew through honest relationships, a deepening spiritual life, and learning to meet myself with far more patience and compassion than I thought possible.
That transformation didn't happen overnight. It was built slowly, through thousands of small decisions.
Today, more than two decades later, I continue to draw on those lessons every day.
I've been alcohol-free since 2003.
Over the years, my personal recovery has been deepened and expanded by thousands of hours sitting with clients in therapy and guiding people through psychedelic-assisted healing.
My own experience continues to shape the therapist I am today. It reminds me that healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been buried beneath pain, fear, or old ways of surviving.
It also means I'm not a blank screen. I'll say the thing no one else in your life will say, kindly and plainly, and you can do what you want with it.
Every client's path is different. For some people, spirituality is an important part of that journey. For others, it isn't. My role isn't to steer you toward any particular worldview, but to help you discover the sources of healing, meaning, and resilience that are authentic to you.
If you're looking for a therapist who brings both professional expertise and lived experience, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. You don't have to figure it all out before reaching out. We can begin exactly where you are.
I'm a Facilitator-in-Training under Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act, currently accepting clients for psilocybin-assisted therapy. That work happens under the Natural Medicine Health Act framework, not as psychotherapy under my counseling license.
