I like how Buddhist monks talk about sorrow and suffering. They say we can't avoid sorrow. Others will hurt us, we will hurt others, and we will hurt ourselves. Thinking about sorrow helps me when I can't understand why life is so hard. Suffering, on the other hand, is optional. It can be reduced. We can improve our relationships in the world. We can improve our self-esteem. We can accept the sorrow in life. Thinking about suffering helps when I need to find the beauty in things. It helps me find courage.
How are suffering and sorrow showing up in your life? Where is acceptance difficult? Where do you feel stuck? I help people navigate these questions and find a path forward that they believe in. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, and those with a history of psychiatric hospitalizations.
Everyone goes through times in their lives when they need someone to be real with them. I've been on the other side. I've had people climb in the mud with me and help me change my life. I try my best to be that person for others. I'll challenge you. I'll see your strengths. We'll process the hardships and find strategies that work for you.

Collin is the strongest group-therapy facilitator that I have had the chance to see in action. He does this work because it is his passion. He is inspiring to his client's and colleagues alike. Highly recommended!

Collin has a knack for making people feel accepted and safe to open up and be vulnerable. At the same time, he will not hesitate to challenge you to confront the things that keep you stuck. It won't take long for you to see this for yourself.

My sessions are intentionally unstructured. You lead the way. I'll help you find patterns that you're stuck in. We'll examine the history and consequences of those patterns. We'll find coping skills that you believe in. Clients and I are often working on the following skills: distress tolerance, conflict resolution, boundary setting and self-care.
