Most couples don’t need another argument about who’s right—they need a different pattern.

Whether you’re caught in the same conflict over and over, recovering from betrayal, feeling more like roommates than partners, or wondering if your relationship can get back on track, therapy should help you understand why you’re stuck—not just teach you new communication skills.

I work with couples, men, families, and premarital couples who want more than temporary solutions. Together, we identify the patterns that keep relationships disconnected, rebuild trust where it’s been damaged, strengthen communication, and create practical change that lasts beyond the counseling office.

I believe that most communication problems are actually regulation and relationship pattern problems. When people begin to recognize the cycle instead of blaming one another, meaningful change becomes possible. That’s why my approach combines practical tools with a deeper understanding of the emotional, relational, and family systems that shape the way we connect.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 25 years leading teams and developing leaders in the business world. That experience taught me that healthy relationships—not just good strategies—are the foundation of lasting growth. It also shaped the direct, practical style I bring into the therapy room today. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and have completed advanced training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR.

Outside the office, I’m a husband, a father of four (two teenagers and two toddlers), and someone who loves spending time outdoors whenever I can. My family’s motto—“Love God. Love people.”—continues to shape both my life and my work. Whether or not faith is part of your counseling journey, my goal is to create a place where people feel respected, challenged, and supported as they work toward healthier relationships.

Sometimes life changes faster than we’re ready for. A new baby. A relationship that’s struggling. Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere. A season where you don’t quite recognize yourself anymore. These moments can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to turn.

You don’t have to navigate them alone.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are moving through life’s biggest transitions—whether that’s new motherhood, relationship challenges, anxiety, identity changes, or simply feeling stuck and wanting to move forward. Together, we’ll better understand what’s happening beneath the surface while building healthier relationships, greater confidence, and practical ways to move toward the life you want.

My passion for this work is both personal and professional. My own experiences with fertility struggles, postpartum depression, identity shifts, and women’s health have given me a deep appreciation for how isolating these seasons can feel—and how healing it is to have someone who truly walks alongside you. Those experiences continue to shape the care I provide every day.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked with families involved in Child Protective Services, supported individuals experiencing crises, facilitated support groups for people living with dementia and their caregivers, and helped international students, au pairs, and host families navigate the challenges of living and building relationships in a new country. Those experiences taught me that every person carries a unique story, and meaningful change begins by understanding it rather than rushing to fix it.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University. My work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gottman Method principles. I believe lasting change happens when we understand both ourselves and the relationships that shape us.

Clients often describe my style as warm, genuine, and easy to talk with. I value authenticity, curiosity, and creating a space where you don’t have to pretend you have everything together. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—it can be a place where you finally exhale, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and begin moving forward one step at a time.
