People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they all want to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities, and ultimately help them to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions because laughing is also therapeutic! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.

I believe that life and mental health are a journey. My job is to walk alongside you on this journey until you feel comfortable navigating life on your own. Therapy is essential for unlocking the best versions of ourselves. I am an LPCC in the state of Colorado, and I look forward to working with you. I have worked in mental health for the past seven years, including roles as a mental health technician in a hospital, answering crisis intervention phone lines, providing in-person crisis intervention, and offering individual clinical mental health therapy. It can be challenging to navigate life's twists and turns alone. Therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner selves, thoughts, and feelings, gaining insights to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. As your therapist, my role is to provide unwavering support and guidance as you embark on this journey of self-discovery.

I'm a licensed professional counselor who specializes in trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, anxiety, and ADHD. Modalities I use include DBT, CBT, ACT, MI, IFS, EMDR, and narrative therapy. I love helping clients realize how resilient they are. I will meet you where you are and focus on the goals you identify—no judgment, no pushing you in a direction you don't feel comfortable with. You are the expert on yourself, and I am simply a guide to help you on your journey. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities in an eclectic style, adapting my approach based on what works best for you.

Struggling with one’s own mental health or serving as a caregiver to someone else’s disorder often feels lonely, as if no one else could possibly understand. You will find an understanding audience with me and gain a sense of hope. As a husband, parent, grandparent, veteran, and 20-year professional secondary educator, my spirituality has provided the foundation, perspective, tools, truths, and wisdom to persevere through many of life's common hardships, giving me empathy for those overwhelmed by life. I am a Christian counselor who uses Biblical principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment awareness to help individuals gain contentment and support heterosexual couples in building intimate marriages. I teach how to parent teens using Love and Logic. For parenting and family work, I draw on 20 years of experience in secondary public education, working holistically with whole family units to enrich relationships by reducing conflict, as many families have told me, "This has completely changed the climate in our home!" "And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
