Men under pressure
Professionals, outdoorsmen, fathers, creatives, and high performers navigating anxiety, divorce, responsibility, anger, grief, or the cost of always being the capable one.
Psychotherapy in Greenwood Village and across Colorado
For the parts of your life that keep repeating.
Therapy for adults and young adults who want more than symptom management: men, professionals, outdoorsmen, creatives, and people working through divorce, identity, sexuality, complex trauma, and the unconscious patterns that shape a life.
Approach
Psychoanalytic work with a Lacanian orientation.
I do not treat people as a brand category or a list of symptoms. The work begins with your speech, your questions, your contradictions, and the places where life feels both familiar and impossible.
In plain terms, a Lacanian orientation means I pay close attention to the words you use, the patterns you find yourself repeating, and the gap between what you think you want and what your life keeps showing you. We slow things down enough to notice what has been running in the background.
My role is to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, challenge you when appropriate, and offer reflections that allow something new to emerge. This process is collaborative, grounded, and non-judgmental.
We may talk about anxiety, depression, relationships, sexuality, divorce, ambition, grief, family history, or trauma. But the aim is not to force your life into a niche. The aim is to make space for a more precise understanding of what is happening for you and what freedom might actually require.
A different kind of conversation
Room for honesty, curiosity, and what has not yet been said.
Many of the people who find their way here are used to being the dependable one. They carry responsibility, perform well, endure more than they name, and still feel caught in patterns that do not shift through effort alone. Therapy can become a place to listen differently: to your relationships, your symptoms, your repetitions, your desires, and the stories you have inherited about who you are allowed to be.
Clinical focus
Who I work with.
Young adults
Support for identity, sexuality, family dynamics, self-understanding, relationships, and the transition into a life that feels more genuinely one’s own.
Complex trauma and identity
Work with the lasting effects of early experience, repetition, shame, dissociation, relational patterns, and the question of how to live with more agency.
About Christopher
A therapist shaped by art, language, and the outdoors.
I am a Master’s-level intern therapist offering reduced-fee sessions to increase access to care. Before becoming a therapist, I spent fifteen years working in theatre and film, which continues to shape how I listen for story, conflict, performance, desire, and what remains offstage.
I am also an avid fly fisherman and value the healing power of nature. My work is quiet, direct, and attentive. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out.
