I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing or have experienced depression, anxiety, anger, grief/loss, relationship conflicts, addictions, gender/identity concerns, lack of motivation, abuse and trauma, life transitions and men’s mental health concerns. In addition, I have worked closely with the LGBTQ+ population. Prior to working in the private practice setting, I have 14 years of experience as a teacher and counselor in the public schools of New Jersey, Texas and Colorado.
I am interested in creating a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy. I have over 20 years of experience working with couples, adolescents and youth. I take great care to ensure that my clients develop the tools they need to not only feel better but to thrive both personally and in relationships. I am passionate about building meaningful connections with clients by creating a foundation of kindness and trust.
I have worked providing mental health care extensively in many environments including wilderness behavioral programs, juvenile detention centers, acute mental health hospitals and addiction clinics. I was raised in Montana where I learned to love backpacking, rock climbing and skiing. I now live in the Colorado Springs area with my wife and our three kids who all love the mountains and high mountain lakes.
I have 12+ years of clinical experience with outpatient/inpatient clients, crisis work, and supervising other therapists. Working with adults clients around trauma, self-exploration, life transitions, chronic illness, spiritual or existential issues, and grief/loss. I bring a sense of humor and an easy, informal approach to this deep and meaningful work.
