“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” - Jack Kornfield
It has always been a deep conviction of mine that each and every person has immense value, meaning, and potential. Sometimes, life has a way of beating us down, until we no longer can see this within ourselves.
Sometimes, we have been so hurt that we hide, avoid, lose hope, or give up…Sometimes, we run to coping patterns that ultimately leave us even more disconnected and isolated from ourselves and others.
It is within this space where I want to welcome you. You don’t have to be perfect here. Often, it is within the context of brokenness where beauty and growth can occur. I take this work as a sacred opportunity to meet you, exactly as you are, and to help you find your path towards freedom and healing. It’s not an easy journey, but it is so worth it.
Background and Specialties: I came to the counseling field after working for almost a decade as a blacksmith. As a blacksmith, I learned the value of perseverance, openness, authenticity, simplicity, and I aspire to bring these values into the counseling room. For over five years, I have been specializing in PTSD (trauma), Anxiety, Sex or Porn Addiction, Intimacy Issues, Couples Work, and Men’s Issues.
If you are a psychological theory nerd (as I am), I operate from an integrative viewpoint which includes Relational Psychodynamic and Interpersonal Neurobiology, as well as processing tools within Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Mindfulness. Ultimately, I believe that the starting point for healing is found within the context of a deeply authentic and relational encounter with another.
Outside of the counseling room, you will find me exploring the great Colorado outdoors with my wife (Justine) and our whippadorable Lab/Whippet mix (Millie) or reading books about the integration of psychology and theology/spirituality.
