I am a board-certified clinical mental health counselor who is considered an expert in my field. Using an eclectic style of therapy, my work focuses on implementing evidence-based practices along with holistic practices to improve the identification and treatment of mental illness.

I do feel that everyone has their own journey, and each path may be different, but it never hurts to have a guide. No matter what your past consists of it does not define who you are.

Colby is passionate about life and about helping others to discover that same passion. He recognizes that we all go through life experiences that shape and form us into who we are today. Through those experiences, we can become stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, feeling helpless, and hopeless. This can keep us from being able to maximize our happiness and joy. Colby uses a combination of therapy modalities to help us understand why we are the way we are, come to accept who we are, and then challenge ourselves to become our best self through intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

“Dealing with stuff" is in your DNA. You know how to handle yourself in a crisis. You are a problem solver. Others can count on you when "the stuff hits the fan". But there is another side to you... one, no one REALLY knows. I help high functioning people overcome negative reactions to trauma. Whether it’s an explosive reaction to a minor inconvenience or not understanding your overwhelming sadness, trauma manifests in many ways. Dealing with trauma can feel like pushing a heavy boulder up a hill without a finish line in sight. The good news is that there are effective tools that will propel you towards healing & moving forward.

A therapy session is a judgment-free space for someone to share what they’ve been struggling with. It’s a collaborative experience with a counselor who is there to listen and empower you to reach your goals. Everyone runs into some challenges over the course of their life, and counseling is a fantastic chance to raise their awareness of roadblocks to living the life they want to be living. Throughout counseling, you can expect to grow in awareness and perspective, work towards the goals you have for your life, and do it all in a safe, judgment-free environment.

I believe in the value and efficacy of psychotherapy. It is time for humanity to move beyond the stigma associated with mental health and take advantage of the art and science that is psychotherapy. You do not need to suffer needlessly or alone. There is hope!

Typically my clients are successful people whom I respect and admire. Like in other areas of their lives when an issue occurs, they want answers and a course of action. Providing for others, they have often put aside their own needs. Their work and personal relationships are intertwined. Talking about how to move forward can be a timeout when one can determine the next steps. Hearing yourself talk aloud about what has been on your mind and heart may give clarity in differentiating between want and need. I encourage clients to gift themselves with time aside.
