Let's look at what's underneath.
You've probably already tried to work this out on your own, by reading about it, talking it through, or just trying harder. Most people I see have. The pattern holds anyway, or the same conversation keeps happening, or something you can't quite name keeps getting in the way.
Depth psychotherapy is where we look at what's beneath the surface: the old injuries, the needs that never got named. Just two people doing honest work on the thing you came in carrying. Maybe that's anxiety, or depression, or a life that used to fit and doesn't anymore.
How I work
I don't follow a manual. The relationship is where the change happens, so I show up as an actual person. Warm and direct, and I'll tell you what I see, even when it's hard to hear. Nonjudgmental, but not passive. Our work is serious, but it doesn't always have to be solemn.
Most of what looks like a problem started as a solution. The numbing out, the distance, the overwork, the armor. It protected something once. We get curious about what, without shame and without moralizing. Understanding why a pattern exists is usually the beginning of it loosening.
Talk therapy on its own
For a lot of people, this work is the whole journey. For others, it becomes the foundation that ketamine-assisted or psilocybin-assisted therapy builds on later. Plenty of my clients do talk therapy only, and the work goes just as deep.
If alcohol is part of the story
Some people come to me because of alcohol. Some come for something else entirely and drinking never enters the conversation. Both belong here.
If it is part of your story, I work from a harm reduction perspective. No abstinence commitment is required to start, and I won't decide your goal for you. We look honestly at what alcohol is doing for you and what it's costing you, and you decide what you want on the other side of that.
And if you've already stopped and found that stopping didn't settle everything, that's work we can do too.
Sessions and fees
Weekly 50-minute sessions, in person in Boulder or by telehealth in Colorado and Minnesota. $195 per session.
I'm in-network with Kaiser, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna. If you're insured by one of these four, we may be able to work together. Reach out to me for details. For other insurance companies, I'm out-of-network.
It starts with a free call. You get a feel for how I work, and we both decide whether it's a fit.
