Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO
In my years of providing therapy, I have witnessed a clear trend. Emotional wounds heal best when surrounded by hope, support, and a sense of self. In other words, I believe that people can best heal from the past when they find what they’re running towards. Pain can leave us feeling defined by our wounds, insecurities, fears, regrets, and unwanted patterns.

Pain can leave us feeling defined by our wounds, insecurities, fears, regrets, and unwanted patterns.
I want to support and encourage you in disrupting these patterns using various interventions including DBT, CBT, EMDR, ACT, Narrative therapy, IFS parts work, CBT-Insomnia, experiential therapy, and creative expression.
Schedule instantly through my website link in my profile! Are you wanting to see change in your life but finding yourself in the same cycles? My hope is to offer a space of belonging and healing for those that feel lost, disconnected, and brokenhearted. In a seemingly connected world never have I seen such a pandemic of loneliness and disconnection. My approach is to help you break patterns by offering safety, curiosity, honesty, humor, and compassion. I have experience in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma related disorders, addiction, attachment issues, OCD, adjustment/life transitions, grief, and relationship issues.

I specialize in ACT and CBT — practical, evidence-based approaches that help you build real skills, not just insight.
Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD — these aren't just diagnoses. They're experiences that quietly reshape how you move through your days, your relationships, and your sense of who you are. You may have tried to push through, rationalize, or wait it out. If you're here, that approach has probably stopped working. Therapy isn't about being fixed — it's about building a life that has room for both the hard parts and the meaningful ones. You already know your life better than anyone. What you might need is a clearer path forward.

I believe everyone deserves the chance to live a full, meaningful life and I’m here to support you in that journey.

Have the experiences that once defined your strength now become sources of struggle? As a veteran, former medic, and first responder myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by those who've served others in high-stress environments. The hypervigilance that kept you alive in the field can become exhausting at home. The compartmentalization that helped you function during crisis can leave you disconnected from loved ones in everyday life. These challenges don't mean you're broken—they're normal responses to abnormal situations.

You may be doing everything you can to keep going, showing up, taking care of responsibilities, and holding it together on the outside all while feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck on the inside. If that resonates, you don’t have to face it alone.
I am a compassionate, person-centered clinical mental health counselor who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the weight of experiences that haven’t had room to be processed yet. You don’t have to navigate that alone.

My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based therapies with trauma-informed and relational models specific to behavioral addiction.
I am one of a small number of clinicians nationally credentialed as both a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Supervisor (CSAT-S) and an International Certified Gambling Counselor (ICGC-I). My practice focuses on adult men navigating the early, often crisis-level stages of recovery from sex and love addiction, problematic pornography use, gambling disorder, compulsive technology or gaming, and co-occurring substance use. If you're feeling overwhelmed by these behaviors or burdened by shame, you're not alone, and recovery is possible. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in deep clinical expertise.

I draw from DBT, ACT, Play Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to find techniques that support the work each client wants to do.
Roots to Ground Counseling is a place where anyone, regardless of age or life circumstances, can come for help, growth, and healing. I love working with teens and adults navigating life transitions, substance use, difficult relationships, religious deconstruction, and identity exploration. I also work with kids navigating family changes, friendship drama, or any other changes that come with growing up.

Life can change in an instant — through injury, diagnosis, loss or unexpected life events- leaving you overwhelmed, unsteady, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are directly experiencing a major life change or supporting someone who is, you may be navigating uncertainty, grief, and a life that no longer feels the same. Moving forward is not about "getting over it." It's about gently finding your footing within circumstances that you did not choose. I work with individuals and family caregivers navigating unfamiliar emotional terrain and rebuilding a sense of self and stability.

Clear Path Behavior, LLC
Board Certified Behavior Analyst, EdS, NCSP, BCBA
Colorado Springs, CO 80906
My ideal clients are parents of children and teens who aren’t making the progress they could, often because support at home doesn’t yet match what the child needs. Families come in feeling stuck—dealing with school avoidance, emotional outbursts, shutdown, or ongoing power struggles. I work directly with caregivers to clarify what’s driving behavior and coach real-time, practical responses. Together, we build strategies that reduce conflict, increase consistency, and help progress carry over across home and school.

I use evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
Many of the women I work with are carrying invisible burdens—body shame, anxiety, trauma, infertility, birth trauma, postpartum struggles, grief, or the exhaustion of constantly caring for everyone else. If you've lost connection with yourself along the way, you're not alone. Through compassionate, specialized care, I help women heal, rebuild trust in themselves, and find lasting restoration beyond simply surviving.

My desire is to provide a place that is set aside and safe as people journey into the deep places of their hearts and to companion with them into these sacred spaces. I consider it an honor and privilege to get to bear witness as people step into their stories and discover their belovedness.

I want to understand your story—your strengths, challenges, and the experiences that have shaped you—while recognizing the impact of family, culture, and larger systems on your worldview.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can identify obstacles to change, focus on what’s within your control, and work together to improve your life.

By integrating ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness—and supporting those undergoing TMS or Ketamine therapies—we focus on the actual mechanics of change.
Let’s face it, if staying exactly the same was working for you, you wouldn’t be scrolling through therapist bios right now. Whether it's PTSD, depression, addiction, anxiety, or just a general sense of "meh," the goal is always the same: Change.

Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, addiction, or just feeling plain lost, I personally understand how overwhelming and painful it can feel. I have experience working with teens ages 15+, adults, families and couples and have evening availability for those who need after work or after school times. Often times we seek immediate relief from painful emotions and situations, which is where I teach clients the coping skills needed. Otherwise, I will simply hold space for you to show up authentically and feel safe bearing your emotions to another human, which is where the real magic happens.

Sometimes we need a reality check. Someone who is objective, from the outside looking in and is able to provide targeted guidance that will result in effective change. My job is to teach you how to think differently, empower you to set boundaries and encourage you to take control of relationships and begin to take charge of your life. Life is too short to be stuck, feel confused or be uncertain about which way to go. This life is yours to enjoy and I am dedicated to helping you reach a place of fulfillment and peace. This road won’t be easy, but my approach ensures maximum effect in a direct, focused and intervention-based manner.

Do you ever feel lost, like your spark has dimmed or your sense of purpose is hard to find? Maybe you feel like you should have it all figured out by now. These messages can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, especially during times of big change. My role is to walk with you and offer a safe, steady, judgment free space where you can sort through what you are experiencing and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel overlooked or confused. Together, we explore the emotions and shifts that come with life transitions and create space for clarity, confidence, and meaning to grow.
