In working with us, you'll experience real humans who aren't trying to "say the right thing" or "fix" you. We also don't just sit back, passive (cue image of a clinician smoking a pipe, saying, "hmmmmm," and leaning back in a bespoke leather armchair for the duration of the session). We are not "blank slate" therapists — we intend to show up to each session as real humans, as we believe that the best therapy happens when there's freedom on both sides to be authentic. Clients will experience our warmth, professionalism, and ethical integrity, but they'll also get to know our humanity, quirks and all.
We will always respect your right to your own beliefs and values: faith, doubt, or anywhere in between. What we focus on is your choice.
You don't have to be in crisis to get started. Maybe you're overwhelmed or carrying something you can't quiet name yet. Maybe an interpersonal conflict, harmful relationship, or messy family dynamic has left you questioning what was real, whether you're the problem, or what in the world just happened. Therapy with us is a place to slow down and make sense of it with someone who won't minimize what happened, or its impact.
In session, we draw from different counseling theories in order to adapt to what fits for you, whether it's EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, parts work, and family-systems thinking, always with deep respect for what you have been carrying. While we will work toward your goals, it not always a neat process. Sometimes it gets messier before it gets clearer. And when it does, we'll stay to support you, holding onto hope with you, moving toward your goals.
We both work with parts language: the idea that you're not one tangled mess but a whole inner family, where every part is trying to help. The worrier, the one that goes numb, the one that keeps everyone happy. Colby likes to say therapy is a lot like clearing out an overstuffed storage room. The parts are the ones who packed it, and they had good reasons.
When we slow down, what's been packed away starts to surface. It can feel worse before it feels better. That's normal, and we'll tell you so up front.
The part that stays busy, the part that shuts down, the part that criticizes. We don't fight them. We get curious about what they've been protecting.
Some sessions feel like breakthroughs; most are quieter. When you can't see how change is possible, we hold onto hope with you, or for you.
As your parts settle, it touches your relationships. Safe, trusted people often become part of the work.
Not every box sorted. More of you leading with clarity, compassion, and agency, and the freedom to begin again.
One part at a time. And that's okay.

Sometimes you need a clear answer. Kat is trained and experienced in administering the CAPS-5 (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5), the structured interview widely considered the gold standard for assessing PTSD.
Many who come to us are veterans or people in a legal process who need an evaluation from a trained clinician. Others simply want to understand what's been happening inside them. Either way, you'll get an honest clinical answer, not one shaped to fit an outcome.
One 90-minute session for $400, including preparation and printouts. Written reports or additional documentation are billed separately at $180 per hour. Available to adults in Colorado, Florida, and Missouri. To start, request a free consultation and select "PTSD Assessment (CAPS-5)."
