Your Journey Begins Here

We constantly feel haunted by the ghosts of our past, and believe we are unable to put them to rest and finally let them go.

We want to feel more empowered to create the life we dream of, instead of the life others expect from us, but doubt we have what it takes to pull it off… often sabotaging our own successes in the process.

We seek resolution to our stress, trauma, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and mental health, but there’s no hope for escaping this never-ending cycle.

We are searching for deeper meaning, purpose, and passion in our careers and relationships, but feel hopelessly lost at sea.

At Breakthrough Recovery of Colorado, we empower our clients to navigate turbulent seas and teach our clients how to surf the waves of discomfort.

Whether you’re looking for space and guidance to just “talk”, skills to manage distressing thoughts and feelings, or transforming your recovery from trauma or addiction we’ll hold space for you.

Personally, there is nothing I find more inspiring and heartfelt than a good comeback story.

And I’m looking forward to seeing yours.

Rites of Passage and Their Vital Importance to the Development of Boys & Men

There are three existential questions all of us have asked or will ask at some point in our lives:

1) Who am I?

2) Where did I come from?

3) What is the meaning and purpose of my life?

These questions are extraordinarily complex and intricate, as they are unique to the individual person and are exceedingly difficult to answer by one’s self. The reason these questions are more challenging to answer is because we cannot answer them by mere thought alone.
