I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience. As a therapist, I am here to help you explore your experiences and achieve your goals in a way that makes sense to you, rather than solving your problems for you.  I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we will work together to address the things in your life that are causing you discomfort and focus on the areas that you want to grow, or your goals and aspirations.  It is my goal to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment to work through these things, while also tailoring the specifics of our work together to your unique needs.

As a graduate student intern at the University of Western States, my therapeutic approach is integrative, and primarily focused on developing a collaborative, genuine, positive, and empathetic relationship with my clients.  I believe that people are good, trustworthy, and capable of directing their lives from within but often struggle when they lack a sense of meaning or develop ways of thinking that don't fit with their self-or world views. Seeking help is beyond brave, and I am both honored and excited at the opportunity to be alongside you throughout your journey!

In life there are inevitable challenges as well as great joys. I am interested in facilitating resilience through an integrative approach that primarily draws from strength-based cognitive behavioral therapy.  How we think, act and feel work together in a feedback look that determines how good we feel. As a therapist, I listen for the entrenched patterns that exist on the surface (thoughts, behaviors) and what lies beneath the surface of the conscious mind as we confront challenges.  I also incorporate a mindfulness approach and I am very tuned into the present moment content of the therapy process. Warmth, gentleness, directness and humor are the hallmarks of my styles. 

I am a student at Adams State University where I am completing my M.A. in Counseling.  I have an M.Ed and have over 15 years experience working with youth as a teacher and social worker. My focus is working with teenagers and adults. When I am not counseling, you will find me hiking, ice skating and spending time with my family.

“What happens if you know that there is nothing you can do to be better? When you’re freed from being out to improve yourself, your own nature will begin to take over.”

— Alan Watts

I love this quote: our inner self-critic constantly tells us that we’re dropping the ball,

doing the wrong thing, living the wrong life. But the hard truth is that we’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve been given. My approach is based on the belief that we all have the power to heal and find meaning in our lives — whether it comes from nature, spiritual practice, or simply our own selves — but sometimes we need help finding it. Ultimately, the path is up to you. You can consider me both a therapist and an advocate.

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at the College of William and Mary, with a certificate in Ecopsychology and currently completing another in Depth Psychology & Neo-Jungian Studies. I’m also a father of two, a writer, musician, and lover of the outdoors. I’m hoping the pup in my photo (Callie) will one day be my partner in animal-assisted therapy.

Please feel free to reach out and set up a free consultation to see if I’m the right fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
