“I have difficulty focusing on the present moment.”

“I feel like I’m a mess.”

“I see myself as a failure.”

 

Does this sound like your self-dialogue?

That’s ok. I diligently and compassionately strive to work with anyone experiencing distress, discomfort, and distraction from what's important to you in your life. If you feel like your mind is full of unproductive thoughts patterns that keep you disconnected, disempowered, or disengaged from fully showing up in the present moment, I'd love to come alongside you and work through the mental barriers you may be experiencing.

 
 

My Therapeutic Approach

I believe every person has an innate desire for self-actualization, which is the full realization of one’s creative, intellectual, and social potential. The source of our drive dictates our perspectives, individually and collectively, and our responses to desirable or undesirable events. Being stuck externally often leads us to develop unproductive thought patterns that impact our state of being and make us overlook the strengths and positive qualities we possess.

That said, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) are frameworks from which I conceptualize your concerns and approach the process of change. Together, we will work through disengaging from negative thought patterns, accepting the un-controllables, and managing perceived stress and low self-esteem. We can recondition a life-changing growth mindset by adjusting beliefs about self, optimizing values systems, and developing values-based life goals. This will help you become the leader of the life you envision rather than life negatively consuming you.

To see if we are a good fit, you can email, call/text me, or fill out this form to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

 

more About me:

I am a 12.5-year Veteran of the US Army where I served as a Military Police Officer in various leadership roles. I grew up in West Texas before attending the United States Military Academy (West Point) and embarking upon a career in military service. From the United States Military Academy, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I decided to continue my education, upon my exit from the military, and attend the University of Denver where I obtained a Master of Arts in Sport and Performance Psychology in 2020. 

I currently live in Aurora, CO where I am working on completing a second master's in Military and Emergency Responder Psychology. I am passionate about engaging with the individuals I work with—with an unmatched focus on serving you and promoting confidence, stability, and effectiveness in what matters to you.

When I’m not consumed with educational development, I like to spend time with my wife, daughter, and my dog Oreo. I love to cook outside, hike occasionally, and grow in my faith.
