Family Therapy in Lone Tree, CO

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past twenty five years. I've worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.

I am passionate about helping you to reflect on your situation, connect with your innate resiliency, and experience healing and renewal through the counseling process. Please look around my website to learn more about who I am, how counseling may help your or a loved one, and don't hesitate to give me a call to ask questions about my practice or to set up your first appointment. The heart of my practice is working with soon to be and hope to be moms, young women transitioning to adulthood, women in ministry, children, adolescents, and families.

Feeling stuck, helpless, or hopeless? I love to help people uncover and utilize their strengths to be able to tackle the emotional challenges they are facing. There is an absolute benefit of feeling heard and assessing what needs to be changed to get out of the discomfort one is experiencing. I have a solution-focused and holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. My goal in working with clients is for them to feel understood and accepted while they become empowered to change and shift into a healthier approach to themselves and the world.

I am passionate about serving adolescents and their families. As a husband of 34 years and a parent of three young adults, I have many valuable life experiences as well as certified clinical training to both professionally counsel and coach this group of clients. This period of development is complex, filled with countless possibilities and ever changing. Secure attachment and attunement are critical for healthy relationships. The adolescent knows that I care a great deal for their overall well being and individual successes. The parents know I care a great deal about their family values and individual opportunities for fulfillment.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has devoted most of my experience to working with adolescents and their families supporting the transition from childhood to young adulthood for both parents and teens. I also work extensively with couples, both in supporting the parental relationship as well as strengthening parenting skills, as I have found that with the mounting stress in today's society, a strong home foundation improves the whole system.

Hi! I am guessing that if I you have found me here, you are pretty desperate to help your little (or big) family. I have been working in private practice since 2010 helping families feel connected and calm again. My goal is for clients to be excited to come and see me and we can make some progress towards healing at the same time. I continue to be an active learner and have participated in many trainings- most notably EMDR, Karyn Purvis's Trust Based Relational Intervention, Gottman's Couples Therapy, Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Framework, DBT, and Heather Forbes's Beyond Consequences.

I believe that individuals are uniquely designed with an inner connectedness spanning our cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual experiences. Because of this design, health and healing are best found through strengthening each of these interconnected elements of our being. My therapeutic approaches are based upon this belief. With couples, I use a hope-focused (strengths based) approach, while examining the family dynamics, or "systems" that are in effect. When working with individuals, I use Cognitive Behavioral approach (CBT), client-centered and systems approaches to holistically facilitate growth, healing and increased self-awareness.

I provide counseling to individuals, couples and families to help alleviate struggles in their daily lives. I can help you better manage your life, children, parents and all your relationships.

My clinical style is direct and collaborative; I am confident that we can work together to achieve your goals and help you develop insights and skills to take with you beyond our counseling.
