Therapy for adults
One-on-one sessions for the patterns, transitions, and relationships you're ready to understand differently.
Therapy that's collaborative, insightful, and affirming
If it feels like you're falling behind, it doesn't have to stay that way.
Together, we'll make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck and build the kind of self-trust that helps life feel clearer, calmer, and more manageable.
Your life is a story worth telling.
Understand yourself on a deeper level
We'll explore the patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships so things start to make more sense.
Build self-trust and confidence
Through validation and real feedback, you become a trustworthy writer of your own story.
Notice what's working
We highlight your wins so you can feel your own progress and utilize your strengths to the fullest.
Create lasting change that fits your life
We'll build practical tools for relationships, emotional regulation, communication, and navigating life with more clarity and confidence.
How I can help
Therapy that works the way you do.
My approach is deeply collaborative and often creative. I use tools like my trusty whiteboard, visual aids, stories, and play to surface what's really going on — and to give you language and skills you can use outside the room.
Therapy for teens & kids
Play-based and conversational sessions for kids 8–15 and teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, or big feelings they don't yet have words for.
Couples counseling
Ninety-minute sessions to slow down the arguments, name the dynamics, and practice something new.
TTRPG group therapy
A signature offering: small-group tabletop RPG sessions as a certified Therapeutic Game Master — building social skills, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, and identity through play.
How I work
Narrative Therapy
We look at your life as a story — the themes, the characters, the chapters — and decide together which parts are worth rewriting.
Synergetic Play Therapy
For kids: play is the language. We use it to build tolerance for hard feelings and confidence that they're capable.
Therapeutic Game Master (TTRPG)
Certified group work using tabletop role-playing to practice real-world skills in a safe imaginary space.

About Ben
From filmmaker to therapist: still in the business of stories.
I'm Ben — a former filmmaker turned therapist. I work with adults, teens, and kids navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, and the relationships that shape us. Together we'll uncover the themes, values, and motivations that drive you — and author the chapter that comes next.
I bring out people's confidence and expressivity by helping them understand the story they're living — how their brain works, how their body responds, and what they actually feel underneath the noise. I model emotional regulation in the room. I teach that self-compassion is just self-understanding. And I foster the creativity and imagination people need to actualize the life they want.
With kids, I do this through play — because play is how children practice dealing with obstacles, frustrations, and the feelings that come with them. Imaginative play lets kids explore the relationships in their lives and respond to life's challenges on their own terms. In play, they get to be the director.

Good questions
FAQ
What happens in the free 15-minute consult?
We'll talk briefly about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping therapy could do, and whether I seem like a good fit. No pressure and no commitment — if I'm not the right therapist, I'll help point you toward someone who might be.
How long does therapy usually take?
It depends on what you're working on. Some people come for a few months to navigate a specific transition; others stay for a year or more doing deeper work. We'll revisit the arc together as we go.
Do you prescribe medication?
No — counselors don't prescribe medication. If we think medication might help, I can refer you to a psychiatrist or your primary care provider to discuss options.
What if my kid doesn't want to 'talk' about things?
That's pretty standard — and it's exactly why we use play. For kids, imaginative play is the language. We build the work around what they already know how to do.
What is TTRPG group therapy?
It's small-group tabletop role-playing (think Dungeons & Dragons) led by a certified Therapeutic Game Master. The game gives kids and teens a safe space to practice social skills, problem solving, conflict resolution, and identity — in-character, then out. Learn more about D&D →
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. I see clients virtually throughout Colorado in addition to in-person sessions in Uptown Denver, Lakewood, and Cherry Creek.
