I provide in-person talk therapy and psychedelic therapy in a comfortable and private office in Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I provide nature-assisted therapy in the Boulder, Golden, and northern Denver areas. During our consultation and beginning sessions, we can decide what areas may be best for us to meet.

I provide virtual therapy for the entire state of Colorado.

I know the beginning steps of therapy can often be the hardest part. I do my best to make the beginning as stress fee as possible, while still beginning on a solid foundation.

It usually begins with a free consultation where we discuss why you are seeking therapy, and if we will be a good fit.

If you choose to continue, we will schedule our intake session. Prior to this, you’ll have a few short documents to review and complete.

The first 1-2 sessions are semi-informal intakes, where we discuss presenting concerns, explore your history and background, and establish a solid relationship that becomes the backbone of our work together.

After that, we begin planning your treatment tailored to you, and begin the work! I usually recommend to begin weekly to keep the momentum and start strong, however some folks may need to come bi-weekly or more sporadic.

I know that finding a therapist can be hard, takes time, and a lot of effort, however this part is crucial to therapy being a success. Research shows that one of the most significant indicators of therapy being a success is the client-therapist relationship.

First: you want to really nail down what you’re looking to work on and get out of therapy. If you’re looking to work on grief, you might start by finding therapists who list grief as a specialty, or topic they work on. I wouldn’t take my Subaru to a Toyota specialist, even though they’re knowledge with cars in general.

Second: Reach out to a few different therapists! I know this can be daunting, but it really pays off. Talking to a few different therapists, even if you’re new to therapy, will give you a feel into the broad spectrum of therapists. Some are more logical/rational based, some are more emotionally based, some are more directive, and some are more reflective and passive. Everyone is different, and everyone responds differently to various types of therapy and therapists.

Last: Reflect on how you feel after talking to a potential therapist! This is my biggest piece of advice for folks searching for the right fit. Just as you don’t feel like every person you meet could be a good friend even though you get alone, the same is true for therapists. Trust what your gut is telling you. If you feel understood, and feel like you click with a therapist while chatting with them, try it out. I usually suggest that folks reassess fit around the 2nd or 3rd session with a therapist.

Psychedelic sessions are not currently covered by insurance.

If you have insurance that I am not in-network with, I am happy to provide you with a “Superbill” that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Check your out-of-network benefits to see if this is a viable option.

I know mental health care can be expensive, so I am always open to having a discussion with potential clients to try to find a fee that works for you. Reduced fee slots are an option depending on availability.

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.
