Only you can truly appreciate how you came to be the person you are today. We can choose to engage in life and with each other from a position of fear or a position of possibility. I believe counseling is all about possibility - the possibility of discovering your voice, the possibility of seeing something new in your reflection, the possibility of personal growth, and the possibility of finding your own deep light.

We all go through times of sef-doubt, depression and anxiety. Life change can amplify these. I believe all feelings are valid, because we are feeling them. What we think about them can create a harmful or helpful situation. Being very present creates calm as we are in the situation as it happens rather than in the past or future thinking about what we did or will do. This practice strengthens relationships as well as offers personal insight and growth. My job as the therapist is to allow my clients a place to explore the space in their heads. I help clients accept and understand their emotions creating new behavior patterns.

Work sucks! Your professional life is supposed be rewarding, not a pain in the neck that causes endless stress and anxiety. It’s hard to get up every morning and go to a job that drains the life out of you. And you spend all your time at work – in-person during the day and through your anxious thoughts that you drag home at night. Sleep doesn’t come easy. Your mind keeps you wide awake, as it struggles to make sense of your life. You wonder what you need to change to break free of this misery. Hobbies and activities that used to take the edge off aren’t working like they used to.

Do you want to heal from your past so you can live a meaningful life? Do you feel trapped by your own self-defeating cycles? Are you on a quest for purpose, meaning, connection, and/or authenticity?

I help my clients heal from past traumas, overcome their self-sabotaging behaviors, and guide them in accessing their full potential for growth.

At some point in life, we come upon a challenge beyond anything we've ever encountered or tried to manage. We may find ourselves at a crossroad, or even the end of a road, facing an unknown path. Such times are often unsettling, even overwhelming, especially when we're also experiencing depression, anxiety, loss and grief. As tough as these transitions may feel, they can also become a turning point where we finally address what has previously been too difficult to face alone. When we allow ourselves to feel deeply heard and unconditionally understood by someone truly attuned to us, the experience can be life changing.

There are times when we can feel anxious, depressed, stuck or lost in our personal lives, our relationships, or our careers. The answers you seek are within you and I can help you gain clarity and self understanding that will allow you to overcome obstacles and change long-standing thought and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. I can support you in building your self esteem, improving relationships, overcoming anxiety and depression and managing life obstacles and transitions that can seem overwhelming. Together we can find solutions and discover and build on your strengths so you can live a truly fulfilled life.

Do you feel lost, uncertain, or stressed by everyday life? Struggle with family, life, work, or all the above? Have you experienced something that is continues to cause you pain and keeps you from achieving your goals? If any of these are true then I welcome you and know that you are not alone. I have helped many clients to create caring environments where they can work on meeting their needs in peace and at a pace that starts where -you- are. With a centralized location in Colorado Springs, you and I can face your challenges together with the confidence that comes with developing a productive, strong, and therapeutic relationship!

Men often experience their mental health in ways that are unique to them, commonly influenced by societal and cultural expectations. For this reason, men in therapy benefit most when working with a therapist who truly understands the challenges facing men in today’s world. As a male therapist, my practice is tailored towards supporting men through relationship issues and trauma, as well as career, stress and other personal struggles. My goal as a therapist is to help men to find their true potential in living happy and successful lives.

I'm honored to join clients in their pursuit of positive change whether it be helping with life transition, relational fulfillment, or specific mental health goals. Opening up about your emotional pain can be difficult but it can start the process of learning to cope with your feelings in a healthy way and feeling better. My first goal for our work together is to build a relationship in which you feel heard and understood, and then help you to create meaningful changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?

As children, we tend to be optimistic, with hopes and dreams for our future. We dream of becoming astronauts, ballerinas, firemen…and the idea of reaching our goals is as exciting as achieving them. Sometimes, on our way to adulthood, we lose that sense of magic. I hope to be able to help you restore the magic and rekindle your enthusiasm, curiosity, and love for life.

ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR COVID SUPPORT. At CMB Counseling expect a compassionate and direct style of counseling. Together, we will identify sticking points to get on track ASAP! We will work at an accelerated, intense pace if appropriate. I often suggest homework so that you get additional benefits from therapy outside of session. We will address a myriad of common issues including: boundaries in relationships, codependency, trauma, family of origin issues, identity issues, insecurities, anxieties, causes of depression, negative coping tendencies, people pleasing, and much more. If you're ready for change, call for a consultation.

In my practice, I see that most mental suffering arises from losing touch with our own innate goodness, strength, wisdom, and resilience. This can happen from trauma and through receiving messages of our inherent unworthiness throughout our lives. Together, we can rediscover your inherent worth and confidence by finding the blocks in your psyche and loosening them through communication and self-compassion. From there, we will focus on rebuilding and cultivating the person you’ve always wanted to become!

As humans, our desire for connection and belonging is innate, healthy and our birthright. Too often, parts of us seem to sabotage our relationships and peace of mind by utilizing old learned patterns, meant to protect, but now limiting our fullest expressions of love and security. When we explore, honor and understand the origins of these parts and turn toward them with compassion, we offer ourselves the opportunity to integrate and heal old wounds, to live and love in the present, informed by, but not limited by the past. I assist individuals and couples in transforming themselves and their relationships.

As far as everyone is concern, "you have an amazing life". "You have a partner who "loves you, gives you the world" or maybe "you are lucky to be single". "You can date whomever you like and not have to answer to anyone". But what if your experience of yourself and your life is completely different from what everyone else sees. What if life does not feel so amazing? What if even though you have a partner, you feel as though you are living separate lives; no joy, no intimacy, no sex, just constant bickering? What if you are tired of being alone, tired of the lack of connection? Tired of not having the relationship you desire?

Are you living the life you want? Recovery is a choice and I am here to help. Getting help is not a sign of weakness; it is the empowerment of one's internal strength. I have a passion for creating a therapeutic alliance with clients to help them achieve their goals and to become their best self. Utilizing evidence based therapies, I am able to peel back the layers and get to the heart of one's core issues, resulting in healing. Choosing to seek professional help is a big decision and choosing the right counselor is essential to achieving success."
