My approach
I utilize an eclectic approach with my clients to match your needs and preferences. Below are the modalities I most commonly bring into sessions.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals develop psychological flexibility by accepting their thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them. It combines mindfulness techniques with behavioral strategies to encourage values-based action. ACT aims to help individuals break free from unhelpful thought patterns and commit to meaningful life changes despite challenges.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is a is a structured psychotherapy approach primarily used to help individuals process and heal from trauma and reduce associated distress. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories, allowing the brain to reprocess them in a less distressing way. This process is thought to facilitate the brain's natural healing mechanisms, allowing the traumatic memories to be reprocessed and integrated more adaptively. As a result, the emotional intensity linked with the memories is diminished, helping reduce symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and other emotional challenges.
-
Attachment and Interpersonal Theory
Attachment theory in psychotherapy explores how past relationships shape an individual’s emotional and relational patterns throughout life. It emphasizes the importance of secure attachments in fostering psychological well-being and examines how insecure attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, or disorganized) can contribute to emotional distress and interpersonal difficulties. In therapy, attachment-based approaches help individuals recognize and reshape maladaptive attachment patterns, develop healthier relationships, and build emotional security through a supportive therapeutic bond.
-
Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening relationships through deep friendship, healthy conflict management, and shared meaning. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, it uses assessments and interventions to improve communication, build trust, and increase intimacy. The method helps couples develop skills to navigate conflicts constructively and enhance their emotional connection.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.
