As a Colorado-licensed therapist with over 11 years of professional experience, I specialize in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, and depression. My desire is to help you harness the strength you already have within you, fostering personal empowerment guiding you toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.
My journey into counseling began about 20 years ago, following my personal triumph over generalized anxiety disorder. This experience, coupled with my desire to assist others, led me to develop a unique and unconventional approach to treating all forms of anxiety. Having worked with thousands of individuals worldwide, I bring a fresh perspective and effective strategies to help you find relief and regain control.
In addition to anxiety, I have extensive experience in dealing with intimacy issues, relationship dynamics, infidelity, and breakups. My approach offers a new outlook on building and restoring self-worth and self-esteem. I am particularly passionate about assisting those undergoing a crisis of philosophy, including struggles with faith, political beliefs, or other existential concerns. My goal is to support those grappling with questions of meaning and purpose, providing guidance to navigate these complex philosophical territories.
I understand that seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage. The fact that you are here is prove you have it. My role is to support and empower you on this journey, leveraging my vast experience to help you achieve the change and growth you seek.

Ares is very knowledgeable. I like his approach toward solving the issues at the root cause, and not using techniques to divert attention in the moment. He’s very friendly and attentive. Our sessions have been great, and helpful for me. I would highly recommend Ares as a therapist.

Thus far Ares has been very understanding and helpful, communicating with me in ways that work with my schedule and issues as well as giving prompt, well thought out responses. I was nervous to start therapy and he really did me a massive favour by welcoming me the way he did. I would recommend him to anyone.
