I started Aspen Therapy because I wanted to offer compassionate care to people seeking therapy and build a space where clients feel truly seen and supported as they work toward the changes they want in their lives. As the practice grew, so did my vision. I expanded into a group practice to build a team of therapists who share a common approach and set of values: care that is inclusive of all identities and beliefs, grounded in attachment and emotion-focused work, centered on the client, and driven by a genuine desire to help others and strengthen the communities we’re part of.

The practice is named after the aspen tree, which grows in some of my favorite places in the country. Aspens are remarkable. What looks like a grove of individual trees is actually one interconnected organism, every trunk linked through a single shared root system. That network gives aspens strength in numbers, allowing them to stand firm through heavy wind and snow. Their bark holds moisture, too, which helps them withstand wildfire where other trees can’t.

To me, the aspen captures what therapy can offer: strength that grows through connection with others, and a kind of armor for facing whatever the world brings. That belief guides everything we do. Our clinicians see you as the expert on your own life and trust in your capacity to grow. We explore how your history and relationships have shaped you, both the strengths you’ve gained and the patterns that may no longer serve you, so you can decide what to keep and what to change. When you choose an Aspen Therapy clinician, you’re choosing a team rooted in connection, committed to inclusive and compassionate care, and invested in helping you build resilience that lasts.
