"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of experience in psychiatry and medication management. I've had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds overcome a variety of mental health challenges, from depression and anxiety to more complex conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Throughout my career, I've become increasingly passionate about the importance of accessible mental health care. I firmly believe that everyone should have access to high-quality mental health services, regardless of their age, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle. Unfortunately, many barriers to care still prevent people from getting the help they need, such as long wait times, limited insurance coverage, and stigmatization. That's why I've made it my mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is accessible and inclusive to all. Whether you're struggling with a mental health issue for the first time or have been living with a condition for years, I'm here to help. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, and I always strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard and supported. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don't hesitate to reach out!

The hardest step is starting counseling. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship by creating a safe place for you to be. I want to foster a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for all my clients—a place where you want to come, learn, and grow. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you to help you get where you want to be, becoming a happy, healthy, and thriving individual. You are the expert of yourself, and I believe in being client-centered, allowing you to lead the therapeutic process. I believe real change occurs when you are ready for it. I am passionate about helping you reach your goals and the future you desire.

Hi! I’m Richard, a counselor here in Colorado, and I'm genuinely excited for the opportunity to meet you! I believe that everyone is unique, with their own distinct life experiences and personal strengths. That's why my approach to therapy is all about building on the skills you've already developed and discovering new ones together; after all, who knows us better than ourselves? I love working collaboratively with each client to find the very best ways to support you on your journey, because I know that no therapy is one-size-fits-all. My goal is to provide you with a collaborative space full of curiosity to help you explore whatever issues are confronting you.

I am passionate about helping people uncover their strengths and navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I take pride in building meaningful, collaborative relationships with my clients. My approach to counseling is client-centered and trauma-informed, blending tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness to meet each client's unique needs. I believe in a whole-body approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions in the healing process. I value connection and find witnessing my clients’ resilience and growth deeply rewarding. I have worked with adolescents and adults navigating a variety of concerns, including eating disorders, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. No matter the concern, my goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to share their stories and create meaningful change.
