Intro

I’m Dr. Lars. I am very excited to be working at Prosper Health!I currently live in Southwest Colorado and I am licensed in Colorado! It is my goal to help people develop skills that will aid them throughout their lives, whether that be for ADHD, depression, anxiety, or anything else that can inhibit experiencing everything life has to offer.In a therapist-client relationship, it is important to me that we walk the road towards better mental health, together. As a clinician, I believe in meeting client's where they're at, meeting their needs and assisting them in developing treatment goals that will allow them to be their best selves.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My dedication and motivation for working with people that have neurodivergent superpowers stem from my own ADHD diagnosis. I appreciate how neurodivergent minds see the world differently. I am a huge Star Wars nerd, and I see my clients as Padowans, already gifted in the ways of the Force. It is my job to help them master their gifts, in order to become the best version of themselves.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize an affirming and strengths-based approach to ensure that every individual feels empowered through their unique gifts. I believe that each client possesses strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to allow clients to live fully, presently, and accomplish goals they set for themselves. I practice ShaoLin Kung Fu, and I frequently incorporate Eastern Philosophy and active meditation practices in my skill building techniques for clients.
