Therapy rooted in hope and healing. I practice Person-Centered Counseling integrated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals on their journey toward healing, self-discovery, and growth. Person-Centered Counseling provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood, while CBT helps identify and reshape negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. My approach is grounded in the belief that no one should have to walk through life's challenges alone, and I am here to provide the tools, guidance, and support you need to navigate life's difficulties and move forward with confidence and hope. Together, we’ll work toward creating a life that feels more fulfilling and balanced.

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.

Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health! It is important to me, as a therapist, that you feel comfortable in a therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard. No one knows more about your life and experiences than you do! We will be able to work collaboratively to help you take the next steps to reach your goals and feel heard in a safe place. Therapy is not a "one and done" experience, and my goal is to provide the necessary tools, resources, and skills to help you thrive based on your individual needs. I look forward to working with you through this healing process.

People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they all want to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities, and ultimately help them to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions because laughing is also therapeutic! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.
