Services
Therapy, psychological assessment, and presurgical evaluations
for adults and adolescents in Colorado to help you navigate life’s challenges, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Therapy
At Redwood Psychology, I provide therapy in Colorado for individuals and couples who want more than quick fixes. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, therapy with me offers a space for deeper understanding, practical strategies, and long-term growth.
Individual Therapy
You keep life moving with work, family, responsibilities, but inside, it’s costing you. You may feel:
​
-
Overwhelmed by stress, pressure, or tension
-
Disconnected from yourself, others, or your purpose
-
Frustrated by repeating patterns
-
Burned out from meeting everyone’s expectations
Therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and create lasting change.
​
Who I Work With
I help curious, driven adults, many of them professionals, parents, partners, and high-functioning individuals, who are ready for a deeper kind of growth. This is therapy for people who want to understand themselves more fully, shift patterns that no longer serve them, and grow through self-awareness.
​
How I Work
​
-
Relational: Change happens in connection, not isolation
-
Insight-Oriented: We explore how past experiences shape the present
-
Psychodynamically Informed: Focused on deep transformation, not just symptom relief
-
Warm & Collaborative: We focus on what you want to get out of therapy
Common issues I help with:
​
-
Stress, anxiety, and burnout
-
Relationship and communication struggles
-
Depression, disconnection, or numbness
-
Identity, self-worth, and self-doubt
-
Life transitions, loss, and uncertainty
I bring extensive clinical experience, from rural hospitals to academic medicine, and a style that blends insight, authenticity, and even humor. After all, growth doesn't have to be grim.
