A distinct nonclinical service
Coaching and consultation for work that carries real responsibility
I work with therapists, leaders, professionals, and organizations navigating complexity, transition, burnout, relational strain, and decisions whose consequences extend beyond one person.
The purpose
A place to think inside complexity
Coaching and consultation create room to examine the systems surrounding a decision, the values competing inside it, and the relational consequences of each available path. The work can move between psychological insight, organizational structure, leadership, communication, identity, and practical strategy.
The aim is not advice delivered from above. We make the problem more legible, identify the capacities it requires, and develop a response that remains accountable to both the person and the system.
Possible areas of focus
- Leadership and use of self
- Burnout, boundaries, and sustainability
- Complex professional relationships
- Role transitions and professional identity
- Decision-making under uncertainty
- Organizational communication and culture
- Practice development for therapists
- Meaning, purpose, and creative engagement
How the work is organized
Context, relationship, and practical consequence
Psychological insight is useful when it remains connected to the conditions in which people actually work and decide.
Systemic
We look upstream from the visible problem toward structures, incentives, histories, relationships, and reinforcing loops.
Dialectical
We identify what competing positions protect, how each fails when it dominates, and what the situation requires us to hold at once.
Practical
Ideas are connected to decisions, communication, sequencing, accountability, and the consequences experienced by other people.
Relevant experience
Clinical, educational, and organizational
My background includes private practice, therapist supervision, postgraduate education, curriculum development, and five years as Executive Director of the Denver Family Institute. That leadership work included strategic planning, budgeting, accreditation, faculty and staff leadership, clinic administration, partnerships, contracts, and the human realities moving through all of them.
Coaching and consultation draw on that range without turning a clinical license into a claim of universal expertise. The work begins by clarifying the actual problem and whether my experience is relevant to it.
Coaching and consultation are not psychotherapy
These services do not include mental health diagnosis or treatment and are not substitutes for psychotherapy. Location, scope, confidentiality, goals, and professional roles are discussed before work begins. When the concern is clinical, psychotherapy or another licensed service is the appropriate pathway.
Structure and availability
Sessions are offered by secure video. Frequency may be ongoing, time-limited, or organized around a specific decision or project. Availability outside Colorado depends on the nature and scope of the work and is clarified before scheduling.
Start with the problem as it actually exists
A brief email describing the context, the decision or strain, and what you need from the work is enough to assess fit.
