Therapists in Parker, CO

I use a solution-focused and person-centered approach, and work best with people who enjoy finding creative solutions to what's bothering them. Most of my clients are interested in being goal-focused, constructing meaningful solutions, identifying appropriate community resources, and engaging in respectful and collaborative dialogue.

I can help you with struggles like depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, career counseling, and veterans issues (as one of them). Do you need help leaving a bad situation but you are feeling stuck? Are you struggling to adjust to leaving a bad situation and need some help connecting with your new life? Have you been feeling overwhelmed and you haven't been able to cope with life? Do you need someone to walk through hell with you and make sure you don't get distracted from the path out of rock bottom depression?

Are you ready to be free of blocks and live in your power? If you are facing difficulties such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, depression, or grief, you are not alone. I can help by creating a safe and relaxed space for you to share the challenges you're facing. I see you in the wholeness of your being and reflect on your experience with empathy. Life can be hard sometimes. Expressing yourself through artwork is encouraged as a tool to tell your story, release emotions, and discover hidden parts of yourself. From a place of understanding, you may see how life difficulties become the key to liberation.

COUNSELING and COACHING - it's a powerful 21st century approach, with tremendous therapeutic benefits and real world results. People frequently report, my therapist stares at me, and says or does nothing. This is classic 20th century therapy (it's old, and moderately effective). Our clients do not pay us to sit and do nothing - they pay us to work as a team; making you the best you.

I bring a grounding presence to support you on your journey. If you feel isolated, numb or overwhelmed with life and parenting, you are not alone.

I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate trauma, and the resulting issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and unhealthy coping strategies. I offer walking sessions and am especially passionate about Buddhist psychology and Mindfulness. I am honored to walk a while with you on your journey back to your genuine self; the you who thrives instead of simply existing. I do not see people as their mistakes, issues, or diagnoses. I am interested in knowing you and helping you navigate the suffering that is holding you back. All clients are welcome.

You made it. You've come a long way, achieved success and stability, but you feel empty, dissatisfied, or out of control. You're let down by systems and relationships that were supposed to care for you, suffocated by a society that bases your worth on external factors. You know something is wrong, and are searching for a therapist who sees your dignity and lovability. You want to overcome your past, find the bravery to take risks, and heal the deepest roots of your distress. You seek counseling that centers collaboration, consent, compassion, presence, and authenticity to live a meaningful life based on self-love and inner peace.

We all have a deep desire to feel happy and at ease, and yet so often there are things in our lives that get in the way of feeling that happiness. If this resonates, you might be looking for someone to help you get there. I'm passionate about helping my clients manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve communication and relationship challenges, process trauma or grief, overcome barriers to deeper joy and fulfillment, and navigate questions of sexuality and gender identity. I'm a queer trans man and I work from a trauma-informed and culturally competent anti-oppression perspective.

Finding the right therapist is no different than finding the perfect dentist, doctor, or other medical professional. In many ways, it may even be more important to you. Your therapist may know more about you than any other person in your life. I take this responsibility very seriously. I realize that you are trusting me with one of your most precious assets, your mental health. There have been times in my life that I have needed the assistance of a good therapist, and I understand how important it is to you.

I primarily work with individuals struggling with addiction, intrusive thoughts, unwanted sexual behavior, and challenges with developing and maintaining intimacy. I also have expertise in dealing with childhood trauma, particularly male childhood sexual abuse. My work with clients centers around clarifying their connection with their intuition. In doing so, I focus on creating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where one can freely express their thoughts and feelings and begin to truly understand their internal experience.

My approach to therapy begins with slowing down, settling in, and getting curious about what your mind and body are trying to tell you. It is important to acknowledge the increasing speed and aggression in our world that can influence our consciousness and behavior - we can sometimes feel we are at the mercy of, or complicit with these environmental forces. I encourage my clients to take full responsibility for the difficult feelings they encounter as we explore behavioral changes that make sense.

Are you ready to be transformed by this work? Are you ready for deep, lasting change? Do you have a nagging sense that there's more you need to experience & offer? If some or all of these are true of you, we may be a fit. If you're willing to humbly SHOW UP to the work, learn & grow, be accountable, especially when it's hard, let’s talk. I’m a guide, coach, & mentor that helps people like you find their soul's purpose & the work that’s yours to do, while cultivating more aliveness & deep, meaningful connections with those you're closest to & with the natural world. If this feels like you, reach out to me; we've got good work to do.

Are you searching for understanding? Are you wanting to better hold the complexities of your life? Often, truth and wisdom can seem out of reach. This can be due to a number of things that act as obstacles and obscurations to our full understanding of ourselves, others, and human relationships. This experience of being confused, perplexed, or lost is a natural and normal part of being human. This does not mean, however, that you are destined to remain in a state of suffering and confusion. Your brilliance, intelligence, wisdom, and way to wellbeing remain within you. I can help you reconnect to this innate wisdom.

As children, play is how we live our lives, interact with our environment, communicate our thoughts, feelings, and passions. Often times the stresses of life, relationships, job pressures, traumas, and losses make us forget how to play, how to explore, and seek growth. Wherever you find yourself today, I would be honored to help YOU find YOUR way back to your playful spirit. One that encourages you to grow, explore, and understand yourself. Gently pushing you to be the best you, you can be. So that you can overcome obstacles that are in your way, conquer hills you are seeking to climb, and relationships you are hoping to create.

As a humanistic licensed professional counselor, I envision my ideal client as an individual brimming with untapped potential, navigating the complex labyrinth of life's challenges. You may be an adult or an adolescent grappling with the nuances of ADHD, the shadows of depression, the restlessness of anxiety, or the echoes of past trauma. Perhaps you're seeking healing and growth, exploring pathways like EMDR or considering the transformative journey of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). Your needs are unique, your story, profound. You are seeking to chart a course toward a life that feels both authentic and fulfilling.

I love supporting men to evolve as lovers through exploring their family environment and healing past trauma, guilt, shame or anything else that is holding them back from the authenticity and intimacy they seek in all their relationships. I love supporting relationships and all the forms of loving from monogamy(ish), nonmonogamy, kinky, BDSM and LGBTQIA folks. Clients love seeking me out for my direct & supportive interventions and resources to support them to evolve in and between our sessions. I support clients to move into greater self-love, & boundaries, & to explore hard conversations while staying protected and connected.

Using traditional talk-therapy with intuitive movement, posture, and breath, I’ll join forces with you as you begin to recognize your innate strength through mindfulness practice and self-inquiry. Cultivating a relationship based on trust & open communication is the foundation of my compassionate and direct method. Let’s work together to release the limiting beliefs & old stories about who you used to be, and experience the joy of infinite potential in the here-and-now.

Life is just hard sometimes. Do you ever feel like you're just running in circles or maybe even just completely stuck? Or maybe you keep finding yourself in the same situation, facing the same challenges over and over again. Not fun! I'd like to work with you, the expert of your life, in finding ways towards ease, agency, and well-being.
