Christian based counseling
I want you to flourish in the fullness of your humanity.
Many things seem to fight against this, and it is easy to forget or lose hope that life is meant to be vibrant, connected, and good. Whether you are seeking help for your addiction, your marriage, or issues specific to men’s counseling we will work toward whole-hearted living.
During our counseling sessions, I will meet you in the space of hurt and discouragement and bring an approach from the intersection of Christian spirituality and psychology. Together, we will move toward hope, beauty, and goodness.
In our work, I am convinced that:
Your circumstances and hurt are noticed and known by God
God intentionally crafted you and delights in you
You are made with the capacity to heal and re-make your life

Working with Me
You have a story to tell. It speaks of how you arrived at where you are and why you do what you do. It speaks of more than how you wound up in Fort Collins or northern Colorado, although that might be part of it. It speaks of the good and the bad that shape the channels through which your life flows. Your story is deeper than your addiction. Your marriage is the home of two stories of great depth and richness. Men’s issues are not just about anger or having difficulty identifying your emotions. Identifying and exploring these stories allows healing and meaning to enter your inevitably experienced wounds. All kinds of methods can be applied to foster this healing. It will be your story that guides us. Your story will be approached gently, and I will invite you to show me your glory and pain. I’ll bring my training and enter where you are ready.
clinical approach
I use narrative therapy as my guiding structure. Within that, depending on what you are experiencing and what your concerns are we might lean more heavily into things like attachment theory, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness.
