Choosing a therapist is an important decision. My goal is to provide care that's both compassionate and clinically appropriate. This page outlines who I work with, the concerns I commonly help address, and situations where another provider or level of care may better meet your needs.

If you're unsure whether we're a good fit, I'm happy to discuss your questions during a free consultation and help point you in the right direction if another resource would better support your goals.

Finding the Right Fit

When I May Not Be the Best Fit

While I work with many forms of trauma and emotional distress, there are situations where another provider or a higher level of care is more appropriate.

I am not the best fit if you are currently experiencing:

  • Acute psychosis

  • A mental health crisis requiring immediate intervention

  • Active suicidal thoughts with plan or intent that cannot be safely managed in outpatient therapy

  • Active homicidal intent

  • A need for psychiatric hospitalization or intensive outpatient treatment

  • A need for 24-hour supervision or crisis stabilization

I also do not provide:

  • Couples therapy

  • Family therapy

  • Court-ordered evaluations

  • Custody evaluations

  • Psychological testing or diagnostic assessments

  • Medication management

  • Disability evaluations or fitness-for-duty evaluations

  • Letters for legal proceedings outside the scope of treatment (unless clinically appropriate)

  • Therapy outside the state of Colorado

Availability & Communication

I provide scheduled outpatient psychotherapy by appointment.

To support healthy therapeutic boundaries:

  • I am not available for therapy outside of scheduled sessions.

  • I do not provide 24/7 crisis support.

  • Messages are returned during regular business hours, typically within 1–2 business days.

  • If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988, go to your nearest emergency department, or call 911.
