Grief has a way of rewriting your story without asking permission. Maybe someone you love is gone, or a life you counted on has quietly ended, and you’re in the middle of a story you didn’t choose, unsure of who you are inside it. Some days the weight of it makes you wonder how you’ll keep going.
The people I work best with are navigating grief, anxiety, depression, a difficult life transition, or the bigger questions of meaning, identity, and calling. Together we slow down, make sense of what has happened, and reconnect you with what you value, so you can move forward without pretending the loss didn’t matter. Healing, in my experience, isn’t only about managing symptoms. It’s about helping you reconnect with who you are, what you were made for, and where God is at work even in the middle of your pain.
My work is grounded in narrative and existential therapy, with practical tools when they serve you. I specialize in grief and loss, and I also help people standing at a crossroads find direction, drawing on Designing Your Life, the MBTI, and the Strong Interest Inventory. Faith is woven through how I practice. I hold space for the questions, the anger, and the lament that honest faith makes room for, and I’ll meet you wherever you are on that road, whether God feels close, distant, or somewhere you’re still working out.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate and a graduate of Colorado Christian University’s CACREP-accredited Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, with clinical training at the Larry Crabb University Counseling Center. Before joining Rock Your Family Counseling, I spent several years walking alongside hundreds of students through grief, identity questions, and major life transitions, which gave me a deep respect for how the stories we carry shape the way we experience suffering, relationship, and calling. I’ve presented on grief and loss at the Colorado Counseling Association Conference and the Fourth World Congress of Existential Therapy.
Outside of the counseling room, I enjoy reading, landscape photography, and exploring Colorado’s trails with my wife, Hayley.
Reaching out can feel like the hardest part, especially when you’re tired, unsure, or carrying more than people realize. You don’t need the right words or a clear explanation of what you need. If any of this resonates, I’d be glad to hear what’s bringing you here and to walk alongside you as you find your footing again. When you’re ready, I’m here.
