Male Therapists in Southeast, Denver, CO

I have been a licensed psychologist in Durango, CO for over 20 years who provides counseling, testing, neurofeedback, and workshops. My approach is cognitive behavioral with special training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and pastoral counseling. I have a passion for empowering people to reach their goals and aspirations for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I encourage people and organizations to identify their values and make choices that move their life in a direction consistent with those values. I am a speaker who uses the power of the spoken word to create change, motivate and inspire.

I have a true passion for helping people experience health and wellness in their relationships and in their lives overall. I believe that when our relationships are healthy, we create an environment that allows us to live more freely and more openly share ourselves with others. I understand the loneliness that develops when partners lose their close connection to each other and how frustrating it can be to have the same argument over and over again. I can help you understand your patterns, change them and create the type of relationships you've been longing for.

I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and start this process. Whether this is your first experience, or you have attended therapy before, I want to help you feel safe and develop trust at your own pace. I believe that you have the capability and deserve to become the version of yourself that aligns with your values, even if that seems challenging right now. In sessions, I work to help you feel heard, supported, and identify specifically tailored strategies to help reach your desired goals. Working with me will feel as if you have someone on your team who truly cares about your overall wellbeing.

Currently accepting new clients. I am a Gottman Certified Therapist who lives in Denver Colorado. My passion is working with couples! This includes, dating, marriage or premarital counseling. I work with couples, helping them break communication barriers by teaching them to manage conflict. By the time couples contact me, they have experienced disconnection and are feeling lonely in the relationship. Please feel free to go to my website and schedule your appointment for your couples session. I do not take insurance. There are 3 EAP's I take. Please go to my website www.highergroundcounseling.org for any FAQs.

You are being held back in daily life by stress, anxiety or past experiences. It is difficult not to worry or constantly be on edge. Strong and terrifying panic sensations in your body feel overwhelming, confusing and frustrating. Fear and discouragement have too strong of a grip on you. Maybe you've experienced a traumatic childhood or recent event that continues to haunt you or cause shame. Yet, you have a sense that there is something better for you and you feel motivated to find freedom. You have decided it is time to address these challenges and unlock a new way of experiencing life and being your true self.

I am passionate about helping individuals re-discover their ideal selves. I believe strongly that life doesn’t not necessarily equip us with all of the tools to be well-adjusted, well-functioning adults, and that everyone can use support to help navigate life’s challenges. The clients I tend to see usually present with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and process addictions, trauma/PTSD, relational distress, LGBTQI and minority/marginalized-population issues, life transitions, self-esteem/self-control issues, and aging/older adults.

I help anxious humans feel less anxious in their relationships and perform better in their lives. I’m a therapist, but you can also call me a Life-Untangler, Performance Expert, and a Human Advocate. My ideal clients are practicing and retired athletes, health care professionals, and those with high-stress and high-risk careers. Feeling burnt out and overwhelmed? I can help you find balance, whether you’ve lost it or don’t feel like you’ve ever had it.
