Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Dennis
When you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, therapy can provide traction you need to get your life moving forward.
Therapy can help you learn how to stop struggling with creative stagnation, worry, self-doubt, lack of motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss. Therapy can help get you unstuck from repeated struggles with yourself and difficulties with others.
In our meetings, you and I will work together to identify roadblocks that keep holding you back. I will assist you in creating permanent strategies for getting past those roadblocks, empowering you to:
* Navigate life’s transitions with clarity and intention
* Strengthen relationships, improve communication, and cultivate more meaningful connections
* Process grief and come to peace with losses
* Foster resilience and mental toughness to face challenges with determination
* Tap into creative problem-solving and deep artistry
* Embody your core values and show up for life with integrity and purpose
Together, we will work on unlocking your potential to build a more complete, fulfilling, dynamic, and purposeful life.
On weekdays, I may be available for live sessions (video or phone) as early as 4:00 AM Pacific/5:00 AM Mountain/6:00 AM Central/7:00 AM Eastern, and sometimes earlier.
My last appointment of the day on any weekday typically ends at or before 2:00 PM Pacific/3:00 PM Mountain/4:00 PM Central/5:00 PM Eastern.
I may offer a limited number of daytime appointments on some (not all) weekends.
I am licensed to provide therapy when you are physically located in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, or Maine.

What clients say
- “Dennis is very easy and welcoming at our meeting. He listens to your concerns, conveys empathy, care and provides quick responses on the Betterhelp website. <br /> I would recommend him others based on our conversation.”
- “I have been working with Dennis the last few weeks and I really enjoy working with him. He asked at our first meeting how I would prefer the meetings to be structured and this allows me the opportunity to talk as well as get his feedback. It feels like I’m talking to a friend as it’s so easy— but I have the feedback from a neutral party that gives me a perspective that helps me understand things differently. I feel in this short time, I’ve grown my confidence and ability to handle life. Great therapist and I’d highly recommend him.”
- “Excellent therapist and totally recommended. Great listener and insights very helpful”
