Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and help you towards the goals that you set. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. (you can text me, if that's easier 970-903-3893) You can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com

I have never liked the thought of the "ideal client" because I always like a challenge and, even more than that, a good story. I like listening to people's stories and helping them to look at them from different angles to get a more total, meaningful, and healthy view of themselves and their experiences. In that sense, I guess my ideal client is one ready to do such a deep exploration of themselves and their experiences with the goal of giving even the worst circumstances meaning and gaining the best of their lives.

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?

I believe that we each have what it takes to move forward and succeed in life. Sometimes things happen to us beyond our control. Other times, we simply get in our own way. I've experienced both of these situations in my life, and I believe I can help you respond to life in a way that moves you forward in the direction you want to go. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the framework for how to live your best life. ACT's principles provide a new approach to life, a way of being in the world. I learned them as a client years ago, and I still practice them everyday in my own life.

My ideal clients feel disconnected from themselves and seek deeper meaning, healing, and self-understanding. They may struggle with anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma and are looking for a holistic approach that integrates body, mind, and spirit. They want to explore how their emotions manifest physically, heal past wounds, and find balance in their life. Their goals include emotional regulation, self-awareness, and cultivating a life aligned with their values. They seek a safe, supportive space to grow and are open to somatic approaches like movement and mindfulness.

You aren't happy and you aren't sure why. Everything appears to be going well, the people around you laugh at your words, maybe your co-workers smile when you smile at them. You make sure you are smiling. To everyone else, you appear content, happy even. But you aren't. It feels even worse because you don't feel people would believe you if they actually heard how you were really doing, and you aren't sure they would listen anyway. You want to feel better, but you aren't sure what "better" is. You are scared that you never will.

I bring experience and enthusiasm to my work with people struggling with substance abuse, addiction, depression, and anxiety. My emphasis is not only on the immediate needs of getting sober but the long-term process of learning to live life in a joyous and clear way. I utilize many techniques to achieve this, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), skill-building, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness based practices. A whole-person approach is incorporated utilizing resources such as nutrition, physical growth, and mindfulness-based modalities. My therapeutic style is both collaborative and supportive.

Being a human is hard, and being alone in our suffering is unbearable. Living begins with connection. And that's where our work begins, too. If you choose to work with me, we'll use that connection to explore what's under the surface - to identify the unconscious drivers of your actions, some of which may be getting in the way of what you really want out of this one sweet life. Maybe your relationships don't work out the way you want, or maybe you're struggling to find your place in a career, or in community. Maybe you and your partner(s) aren't connecting the way you used to.

Sometimes we all need a word of encouragement, and sometimes we may need help focusing on a new perspective, plan or strategy to help get us unstuck from a current situation. Clients are offered a judgement free environment, they are met and accepted right where they are at in life and given "help for today," so they can have more "hope for tomorrow."

I work with adults and adolescents on concerns of PTSD, anxiety/depression, relational intimacy, men's issues, gender/sexual identity, and chronic illness/pain.

Beyond theory and approach, our therapeutic relationship and personality fit are extremely important parts of your counseling experience. I am guided by the approach you find meaningful and helpful, believing you possess strengths and potential to be fulfilled in moving through your concerns.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
