I'm Tyler. I work with late-diagnosed, high-masking neurodivergent adults across Colorado by telehealth. Before this work I spent fifteen years in business, mostly portfolio management. I also live with a chronic illness. Both are part of how I show up in session. You will get a steady, prepared, honest presence, and you will not fall through the cracks.
My background, before counseling
For about fifteen years I worked in business, the last stretch in portfolio management. The job taught me how to sit with uncertainty, how to read patterns inside a lot of noise, and how to keep a steady hand when stakes are real. None of that translates directly into therapy. The disposition behind it does.
A lot of the people I work with look fine on paper. They are high-achievers, responsible, the ones other people count on. That world is familiar to me. I am comfortable with high-functioning clients who are quietly running on empty, and I do not need a crisis to take your struggle seriously.
How I work in session
I name what I notice, with warmth. You will not have to read between the lines to know what I think.
If something keeps coming up, I will say so. If I am uncertain, I will tell you that too.
I come to sessions prepared. I remember the details that matter to you. I follow up on the threads you brought last time. That sounds basic, and it is. It is also the part clients most often tell me has been missing.
This is depth work, not strategy lists. The goal is to understand the patterns underneath what you are dealing with, where they came from, and what you actually want to do with them now that you can see them. Strategies have a place, and we use them. They are not the whole job.
Who I work best with
I work best with late-diagnosed autistic and AuDHD adults. I also work with the struggles that often come along with that, anxiety and OCD, codependency and people-pleasing, emotional regulation, and with men who do not usually walk into therapy until something forces it.
I am not the right fit for everyone. If you are looking primarily for skills coaching, faster productivity, or short-term symptom relief without going deeper, an ADHD coach or a brief solution-focused therapist will serve you better. The consult is the place where we figure that out together, with no pressure.
Living with chronic illness, and what it brings to the work
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2013. For about a decade after that, the disease ran the show. It limited what I could do day to day, derailed plans I had made, and stripped away vitality I had taken for granted. I have regained most of my function since, and I do not take that recovery lightly.
Those years taught me what it is to lose capacity to something you did not choose and cannot push through. It taught me about pacing, about how to advocate for yourself in medical rooms when you are the one who knows your body best, and about what it feels like to be the patient instead of the one with the answers.
I do not bring my health story into sessions. I bring what it taught me. If you live with a chronic condition, you will not have to explain the basics, and I will not flinch when the topic comes up.
My training and approach
I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling from Regis University. I work mainly with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and parts and inner child work. All are evidence-based, chosen to fit rather than applied by default.
I do not lead with EMDR or somatic-only approaches, and I am not a faith-based counselor. If those are what you are looking for, I am happy to point you toward clinicians who specialize there.
