Curtis (he/him) is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) who earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. He has experience providing therapy to adults, couples, veterans, and individuals experiencing substance use/ mental health concerns in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Curtis specializes in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, men's issues, and life transitions. He believes that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and strives to create a space where clients feel understood, challenged, and supported throughout their healing journey.

Drawing from evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and person-centered therapy, Curtis tailors treatment to each client's unique goals and experiences. He believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and adapts the therapeutic environment to meet clients where they are. Whether that means meeting in the office, engaging in walk-and-talk therapy, using a board game to reduce barriers and encourage conversation, or taking a more traditional approach, Curtis strives to create a space where clients feel comfortable and engaged.

While Curtis enjoys helping clients process trauma, he believes meaningful trauma work begins with building stability in the present. If navigating today's challenges feels overwhelming, revisiting the past can feel nearly impossible. Together, clients first develop practical coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and build confidence in managing the here and now. From that foundation, trauma processing can become more manageable, empowering, and lasting.
