Teletherapy for Colorado

You've heard of PTSD. You think you might have it. You don't know what to do about it. Your sleep is an issue because you have nightmares. Even when you don't have nightmares, you don't feel rested in the morning. You avoid pieces and parts of your life because you fear being triggered by past trauma. When the stress increases in your life, you notice higher anxiety and scarier thoughts. You want to let go of the abuse and trauma of the past. Maybe you've heard about EMDR, but you don't know where to start. When you're ready to deal with trauma, you want to start as soon as possible.

There are so many effective modalities to treat and unburden pain. In the end, it just boils down to being together in our vulnerability that heals. We need each other, because this world is difficult. Trauma can impact us in such an intense way that we feel like separating ourselves. I see therapy as respite. It’s where you find yourself with a neutral partner on your journey. I strive to be someone who values your success, and listens when you’re hurting. It takes courage to share embarrassing secrets, pains, and struggles. Parts that feel better hidden and protected have a space to be themselves here and to release.

My ideal client is one who feels that they are stuck and has found it hard to find a way out. They are seeking purpose and are tired of living an unfulfilled life. They may have made some mistakes and need assistance on the journey of reconciliation. They could be dealing with a loss so detrimental that it has halted any forward progress in life and they now need to understand the new person they will become. They could have suffered tremendously at the hands of others and the pain of the past is still present and they need to find away to make sense of it all. My ideal client has been afflicted with the human condition.

I offer therapeutic intervention to those needing guidance towards reimagining life. In our work together you will find insights, rediscover hope, & find tangible ways to actualize change.

I have been working with parents and children for 20 years and I specialize in finding the underlying causes of behavior in order to help children develop an identity as competent and confident young people. When working with and supporting parents, we will develop plans together to help build the skills necessary to modify behavioral outcomes in home and school settings. I work from a solutions-focused perspective that can hopefully generate some quick action steps in addition to the underlying work on causes, building self-esteem, and developing identity.

I understand the difficulties of everyday life and making the decision to seek help. I offer individual, client focused sessions with those looking to make changes. Whether anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, divorce, decreased self-esteem, or stress has gotten you off track, we work together to get you back to feeling and living like your true self. The goal of each session is to focus on YOU and meeting, eventually exceeding, your individual needs.

Sometimes, as we experience our life course, we come across situations, dilemmas or issues that are unexpected, unavoidable or life changing. This happens; it will always happen. As these circumstances develop, we tend to rely on the tools we have at our disposal to create the best outcomes we can. This is where my role is vital: my goal is to ensure that your tools are in suitable conditions that promote opportunities to put your best foot forward. Whether you are trying to reach a goal, address a persistent fear or anxiety, gain a better understanding of who you are, or something else, I'll use my skills and knowledge to help you.

I can help guide you through life's challenges and together we can build a better system to support you in times of crisis.

Life transitions and unresolved trauma can make us feel like we have become trapped in our own bodies and unable to escape constant worry, anxiety and guilt. Feeling stuck and unable to explore personal worries can affect our abilities to have healthy social interaction, parenting, and family relationships. Thankfully, there is hope and healing beyond trauma. If you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, difficulties within relationships, or foster care or adoptive related issues, I can provide a safe, unbiased, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your concerns and move towards healing.

So you're looking for a change - let's get started! You might be stuck, perhaps held back by the past, not sure how to live in the present, or uncertain about moving into the future. If that's you, it's a good time for some counseling. I am a man of faith, a motorcycle rider, a runner, a reader, and one or two other things outside of counseling, just in case we still haven't connected. In counseling and support groups, I’ve spent most of my time helping people face addictions, trauma, and all the relationships in between. I often rely on the AASAT addiction training and EMDR to help people move towards their change.

I specialize in helping people through difficult times, whether due to a loss, a life transition. or to challenging circumstances.

The symptoms that have us seek out professional help are often rooted in trauma—experiences in our lives that told us we were unlovable, not “good enough”, or “bad”; that change how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world. The challenges that so many of us face today, be it anxiety or chronic stress, depression, substance abuse, or relationship issues, can frequently be traced back to these experiences. As a psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness-based counseling, gestalt therapy and Inner Child Work, I will help you to uncover the heart of your issues, reclaim what was lost, and revive your joy for life.
