Hello and welcome to 1 Life Counseling!! My name is Ed and I have been a certified addiction in the state of Colorado for the past 8 years years, including the last year and half as a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I also just recently become a Licensed Professional Counselor, two years after completing my Master of Arts at Adams State University.
When I’m not working with clients, you can often find on a trail. I moved to Colorado from Texas approximately 10 years ago and fell in love with spending time on many of Colorado’s trails either hiking or backpacking. I also like to think I have become quite the amateur nature photographer and love to use some of my pics as the background in my telehealth sessions.
In addition to spending time outdoors hiking, I enjoy Friday nights in with Netflix, listening to music and following my favorite sports teams that I’ve rooted for since growing up in Dallas, TX. I moved to Northern Colorado about 10 years ago and enjoy going for walks in our lush neighborhood and playing with my cat, sometimes taking him on walks with us (in a cat backpack).
In my sessions, I am passionate about integrating greater awareness of the body-mind connection and educating clients on the complexities of human behavior, using anecdotes and sometimes humor. You will find I am easy to talk to, a patient listener, very empathetic and non- judgmental. I am passionate about helping clients find relief from their suffering!
