There is a first step in any kind of change and I honor this step you are making! Counseling is about exploring the unknown or the hidden within ourselves. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and calm approach when helping you explore your internal world. I help my clients (or explorers as I like to call them) cultivate a sense of curiosity and find courage when allowing challenging emotions or events to surface. This offers the opportunity to explore the different ways we have been avoiding, denying, and/or not seeing our true nature with clarity.

Some of life's dilemmas require a conversation to resolve. A conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life. An understanding that allows us to think decisions through so we can decide what we want and how to go about getting there. This often starts with a stronger ability to say no to what we don’t want, but then transforms into a confidence to say yes to what we do want. Sometimes it’s trauma. Sometimes it’s how we think and feel. Sometimes it’s just putting ourselves last through self-destructive behavior.

Families are facing so many challenges, and taking that step to seek outside help is vital and brave. Before looking for a therapist, you've likely striven to help your child or teen in other ways at home and school. My primary role as your child's therapist is to collaborate with you and your child/teen to clearly identify strengths and struggles, and come up with a game plan to build connection, confidence, and stability. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches that are proven to reduce depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal conflicts.

My approach to therapy is to accompany my clients in reconnecting with their authentic, self-compassionate, wise selves. I work with clients grappling with life transitions, grief, anxiety, isolation, depression, recovery from narcissistic abuse, personal and spiritual inquiry, spiritual integration (e.g. near death experiences, values alignment, embodiment, meditation, and post-psychedelic experiences), religious trauma, post-traumatic growth, and sexual and gender identity.

Flatirons Counseling Services provides pornography sex addiction counseling and therapy to those experiencing sexual addiction. Sexual addiction affects people from all walks of life. The addiction generally involves a sexually related compulsive behavior that dominates and interferes with the addict's life. In many cases, the addiction to sex takes a priority over marital relationships, family, friends, careers, and beyond. Ultimately, the addiction leads to the destruction of self-esteem, health, and even one's own freedom.

I love to work with folks who are struggling to make their way in life, who hope that life can be better, but aren't quite sure how. I understand how desperate life can feel, and also how real healing can transform the way you feel in your own skin. There are times when we know something's wrong, and can't figure it out on our own. Maybe you feel "crazy" in relationships, experience debilitating depression, anxiety, or panic, or are relying on unhealthy habits to cope with your day to day life. Maybe all of the above. If this describes you, take heart, because real healing is possible, and I would like to help.

Do you have a hard time fully feeling your emotions? Does it feel expectations that you “Should” be doing things a certain way? Are the stressors of life starting to get overwhelming? I utilize mindfulness, connection with the body, and education on mental health symptomatology to help cope with the stressors of life. Additionally, mental health must also address and acknowledge systemic barriers and injustices, which also impact a person’s wellness. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, religious trauma and general trauma.

If you've ever asked the question, "“What do we do with our family member whose drug use and drinking is out of control?” you are not alone. I started The Chronic Hope Institute with the intention of offering my answer to that question—one I get almost every day. You have a much greater chance for success if the whole family, not just the addict, is engaged in recovery. My plan is quick and to the point so we can triage the immediate problem. Then, only once we put the initial fire out, would we spend more time addressing the bigger issues.

Trying to manage life alone can have devastating results. My desire is to help connect people back to the Father and to therefore see them thrive in such a way that they become healthy, healed positive agents for change in their families and communities. My goal is to help people thrive in their spiritual, social, mental, emotional and practical lives. While enjoying individual therapy, I also offer couples counseling, alongside my Bride of 20+ years, Te Anna, a licensed therapist. We have noticed that when we counsel couples together it provides more of a balanced kingdom perspective for the relationship. Telehealth also available.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

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.
