"The name 'Trail Ridge Counseling' comes from a time when I was making a major life decision.  I could not come to a clear decision on which option I would choose, so late that night I headed up to a cloudy Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park in search of an answer.  I was walking a path near a parking area and could not see where I was going due to the dense fog. My eyes were drawn to the barely visible path immediately before me, but I kept walking. In the darkness of that night, the answer to my question became clear.  God was not going to show me exactly where I was heading, rather He would reveal to me only the next few steps on my journey."                                             -Brian

“One time I was driving and saw a big rock in the middle of the road. I swerved, and upon passing the rock, realized it was a very slow, but huge snapping turtle.  I immediately pulled over the car, jumped out, held up traffic, picked up the enormous turtle and walked him over to a place a safety.  The entire time, the turtle was trying to bite and claw me, not knowing I was there to help get him back to much needed water.  I see many parallels between that experience and helping people through counseling.  God has gifted me with the ability to see what changes need to be made in order to have a safer, more peaceful environment.  I enjoy helping people discover what changes need to be made and work hard to help them make those changes in their lives.”
