TriWest Therapists in Monument, CO

I will not be asking you "How does that make you feel?" YOU are the expert in you and my role is to help you understand things that are in your way and how to get rid of them. I served in Army, Navy and in the Marine infantry with three combat tours. I've had to work through my own trauma and struggles and after I did, I went back to get my degree so I can help people struggling to move forward. Through my training and experience, I've come to specialize in trauma and addiction, and I understand how difficult it can be to walk into a room and pour out your pain to a stranger, but if you are ready, so am I.
