Life’s difficulties can be challenging. We are often asked to adapt to circumstances that are beyond our control and exceed our ability to cope. Depression, anxiety, anger, relationship conflicts, trauma, loss, and grief may take away the person you used to be, and interfere with the person you want to be. Navigating these challenges on our own can often be confusing and problematic. Not knowing how, or where to make change, we often create more trauma and hurt in our lives. Some try and manage their pain by numbing their feelings with a life of perpetual business, some cope with food, alcohol, substances, or shopping. Some find th

Loss, pain and confusion can keep you from developing more satisfying relationships with loved ones. Or, perhaps you would like to feel more at ease in your own skin? Let's discover what keeps you from taking the steps toward health and fulfillment. I can help you find ways to address the effects of trauma, reduce stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Explore how to adapt to a chronic physical or mental illness by reconnecting with your innate strength and wellbeing.

Is life happening to you? We can help. The vision of RAFT Consulting is to change the way we interact with life through accessible, culturally competent, and collaborative services. We strive to support strengths-based individual development, healthy relationship dynamics, and strong communities. We aim to be intentional with our words and actions and we value healthy change, authentic connections, and bold sharing of experiences.

Specific insights about ourselves can help liberate our inherent energy, break out of depression and calm anxiety. I have a gift for perceiving an individual's unique strengths, preferences, talents, tendencies, and temperaments. (These can be difficult to see in ourselves, because they naturally make us who we are. They make us unique in 10,000 people!) I delight in helping people discover how they most naturally: a) gain energy b) gather information c) process information, and d) structure their life, work and relationships (freely, spontaneously or deliberately.)

I am a Colorado native who is passionate about holistic health. My own journey led me to counseling in my teenage years and through the process addressed my own suffering and found incredible meaning. When I became a counselor I decided that I wanted to understand others suffering and value them as a whole person. Part of my core belief is that each facet of your life and self contribute to your overall health. In the counseling process I try to explore with you all parts of self and integrate them to restore balance and help you to achieve your goals.

Sometimes life crashes in on us. We suffer breakups and divorces. We endure pregnancy loss(es). We lose jobs. Past traumas resurface. Our parents or kids get sick. Someone we love dies. Sometimes we feel unsettled, disappointed and dissatisfied. We perseverate, "What is wrong with me?! I should be doing so much better than this!" When life crashes, we are left in pieces and face the daunting task of putting ourselves back together. How can we ever again feel strong, healthy, happy and whole? These events change us, that's for sure, but they don't have to break us.

Welcome to my private pratice! I have been providing psychotherapy to individuals and families since 1997. I currently work with adolescents and adults. I believe in using a strengths-based approach to help empower clients to achieve their goals and make significant, positive changes in their lives. I provide a warm, caring environment for clients to explore, clarify, and resolve their issues. You will receive support, feedback, and suggestions from me as you go through this process. I have an eclectic style in which I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral techniques, solution focused, systems theory, and psychodynamic approaches, depending on my clients' needs.

Adolescent and young adult behavioral health can affect the whole family. I specialize in adolescent substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, and the full spectrum of adolescent behavioral health. Building a strong alliance with an accepting, positive and energetic therapist can make a big difference during the promising yet vulnerable adolescent years. I enjoy helping teens discover how the disappointments, conflicts and setbacks they face during this period can be opportunities to get back on track or even take life to the next level.

You've heard the saying "everything happens for a reason". I believe this can be true, but there are also many occurrences in our lives that don't always make sense, even if we can still derive some sort of meaning from them. On more of a personal level, I believe our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are happening for a reason and I seek to help you find those answers. Oftentimes, these reasons are connected to past experiences, whether that be from your childhood or other significant moments in time. And depending on how you experienced that event, your perceptions about yourself, others, and the world have been impacted.

Steve genuinely cares about your journey of self-discovery and is passionate about helping you become the champion of your own life. You can expect a collaborative process results-oriented process that will encourage and empower you to heal and find peace and contentment.

I am passionate about seeing your life change though therapeutic intervention. When you first arrive, you'll enter into a safe environment, and, as we work together, you'll receive the support and resources you need to achieve the healing you long for. I feel it's truly a privilege to be invited into your life journey.

Is choosing the right therapist making things harder? If so, that's normal, but maybe you're tempted to settle or give up - also normal - yet a good relationship between you and your therapist is crucial for the success of any type of clinical intervention. Your comfort, sense of safety and trust are primary considerations. Please ask me any questions that may help to promote a better understanding and trust between us.

Tired of feeling stuck and looking for a way out? Do you know you need a change, but aren't sure how to do it or where to start? Together we can get you the life you want, rather than one you feel trapped in. Together we can heal the pain from your past, learn new skills for today, and create a life that offers you the fulfillment that you're looking for.

Therapy is for anyone that longs for more. I can assist you in exploring your experiences and relationships to come to a fuller understanding of yourself and others. My intent is to be supportive in assisting you in identifying your goals as we work together towards accomplishing them. My philosophy is to work with you to create an individualized plan that is unique to you and focuses on establishing a collaborative learning experience.

How much time have you spent thinking: "I am tired of feeling this way" "is this really my life?" "how did I get to this place?"? Too much? What if I told you that you don't have to wake up feeling hopeless, lost, unworthy, or like you don't belong. You have the power to take control of your life and face battles with strength and courage. Our history is powerful and it shapes us in wanted and unwanted ways. It creates patterns and beliefs that can create a world rid of joy, purpose, love, peace, and connection.

Experiencing trauma can take away who you used to be, and who you want to be. In order to survive trauma, we cope the best way that we can. Some people numb their feelings by creating a life of perpetual busyness, some cope with food, others with alcohol or substances. Others might isolate because their experience interacting with the world has resulted in so much hurt. While we are surviving, we start to miss out on life. We lose contact with others and ourselves. We go through the motions of daily life without experiencing connection or joy. We may feel hopeless, angry, exhausted, and ashamed.

Do you have a teen with whom you are constantly at odds? Do you feel like every conversation ends up in a fight? Perhaps you see troubling behaviors and patterns emerging (e.g. substance use, pornography, concerning friend choices etc.) and you have no idea how to help. These types of problems demonstrate that nothing can shake a parent's confidence quite like the teenage years. Conversations that once came with ease are now laden with problems and may make you feel you failed as a parent. If you are wondering if there is any hope at all, I'm here to tell you that there is.

I believe; gaining insight and understanding, feeling more hopeful, being listened to, and being in a safe and non-judgmental environment, are just some of the important keys to therapy. One of the most difficult and courageous things someone can do is to walk into a clinician's office and ask for help. Sometimes people may hesitate to seek help because they feel alone in their pain or that no one will understand them. I work with clients ages two and older, from a myriad of cultural groups, and I foster an atmosphere of understanding across these various age and cultural groups.
