“I wholeheartedly believe that couples can not only overcome challenges they’re facing, but that through counseling they can come out stronger as a couple with a healthier, more vibrant relationship than they ever had.”
About Aaron Anderson
I am the Clinical Director and supervisor here at The Marriage and Family Clinic. I have 17 years of specialized experience working with couples, teaching, and training other clinicians. I bring all this experience and expertise into every session to help you strengthen your important relationships. My extensive training in marriage and family therapy means you’re getting care that’s grounded, steady, and deeply informed by what actually helps relationships heal.
When your relationship feels strained, distant, or stuck in the same painful patterns, you want someone who truly understands how to help couples find their way back to each other. I can help you make sense of what’s happening between you and work with you to get to the connection back you’ve been missing.
What is therapy like?
My therapy is pretty down-to-earth. I recognize that change doesn’t happen inside your comfort zone. In fact, staying in your comfort zone is probably what caused you and your partner to get into the challenges you’re having. As humans, we evolve and grow. Your relationship needs to evolve and adapt along with you. In therapy with me, I will help you and your spouse explore the unspoken rules that keep you both in your comfort zones and stuck in the same hurtful patterns. I will help you develop a better understanding of yourself and your partner by exploring the deeper, more core beliefs that you both have that are causing you to stumble. Then we will go to work helping you repair old wounds so you can feel a more passionate and vibrant relationship together.
If you’re seeing me for infidelity, we get right to work rebuilding trust first and foremost. We do this by getting to work controlling the damage and chaos that comes when an affair has been discovered so you can feel safe and stable again. Then we begin to unpack why the affair happened and how to keep it from happening again. There was a reason the affair happened. You can’t look back to the old relationship because there were pieces of it that made your relationship vulnerable. So, I help you build a new relationship and leave those vulnerabilities behind. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
No matter how discouraged you might feel right now, there is a path forward. Together, we can help your relationship feel safer, more connected, and more hopeful again.
What do you do when you’re not doing therapy?
I’m an avid father of three children. I love spending time with my family exploring new places, going to small town festivals, and doing new things. And when I want to take time for myself, you’ll find me with a wrench working on some project in my garage. When it’s too dark for that, you’ll usually catch me wasting my brain watching a scary movie.

About Britani
I am a master’s student at Colorado Christian University, and I am completing training at The Marriage and Family Clinic with a strong emphasis on relational and family-based care. I am passionate about helping people find ways to thrive in their lives and in their relationships. My parents were marriage counselors and the passion to see relationships flourish runs deep.
What Therapy is Like
I believe therapy is, first and foremost, a conversation – one where clients can feel heard, understood and supported as they work toward the life they want.
I approach therapy from a systemic perspective, recognizing that our relationships, families, environments and experiences all play an important role in shaping who we are. Rather than simply focusing on the problems, I want to partner with my clients to explore what matters most to them, identify their strengths and discover practical ways to move toward their goals.
My hope is that clients leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships and find ways to experience more joy, connection and fullfillment within their families. I beleive every family and individual has the capacity to grow and thrive and I’m honored to walk alongside clients as they discover what that can look like for them.
I value my clients and the vulnerability that therapy requires. My hope is that you feel accepted for who you are and that I can walk alongside you as you navigate stressors, life changes and relationship concerns.
When I’m not in the Therapy Room
Outside of therapy, I am an avid reader and always have a book with me. I enjoy snuggling up on my couch with my dog and my husband to watch true crime documentaries or competition shows. We base our vacations around food and experiences we want to try, though I will always be available for a beach vacation. I am an introvert by nature, but I love my circle of people and they refuel my energy.
Fun fact: When I’, not in the therapy room, I’m flying around the world as a Flight Attendant, which is a way for me to discover and appreciate different cultures.

About Akela
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nine years as a Child Life Specialist, including seven at Children’s Hospital Colorado, supporting children and families through medical crises, trauma, and major life transitions. That work taught me how to help people stay grounded, connected, and emotionally safe during overwhelming moments.
Because of this experience, you’ll find a calm, grounded space where you and your loved ones can slow down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and begin building healthier ways of interacting together. Whether you’re facing conflict, behavioral challenges, or major life transitions, I’ll help you strengthen communication, reduce emotional overwhelm, and create more supportive, fulfilling relationships at home.
My background in high‑stress environments taught me how to stay present and compassionate when families and couples are hurting — and I bring that same steadiness to our work. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can help your relationship feel stronger, your child feel safer, and your family feel more connected.
What is therapy like?
My therapy style is relaxed and grounded. You’ll find a safe, respectful, and welcoming space where you feel seen and able to work through your challenges. My sessions are largely led by you, because no one knows your life and circumstances better than you. Gaining that deeper understanding of what you are going through is the best way for me to help you create growth in your life help you find the knowledge, skills, and abilities to initiate change beyond the therapy room.
I also work with you to learn how to accept the things that are beyond your control while simultaneously working to change areas where dysfunctional patterns exist that are causing pain. This will help you strengthen your psychological flexibility as well as create courage and hope surrounding your difficulties that are bringing you to counseling.
What do you do when you are not in the therapy room?
I can be found paddle boarding, painting, cooking/baking, reading a good book, or playing board games with friends and family. I enjoy swing dancing and hands-on building projects with my partner. If I had time to be a coffee connoisseur on the side, I would happily oblige.

About Eric
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling master’s student at Southern New Hampshire University completing my clinical training at The Marriage and Family Clinic. Before pursuing counseling, I spent much of my career working in coporate settings before realizing that I wanted to do something that felt more meaningful and allowed me to make a direct impact in people’s lives.
I have always been drawn to psychology and have often been described, both personally and professionally, as someone who listens well and helps people feel heard, understood, and validated. I am excited to work with individuals, couples, and families from a wide range of backgrounds as they navigate the challenges and transitions that bring them to therapy.
What is therapy like?
I believe therapy works best when you feel heard and understood but also supported in challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you. My style is relaxed, conversational, curious, and nonjudgmental. I view therapy as a collaborative process where your experiences, values, and goals help guide the work we do together.
I also believe our relationships, whether with partners, family, friends, coworkers, and our communities, can have a powerful influence on our well-being. Together we can explore these relationships and other areas of your life to better understand what is working, what may need to change, and what a healthier path forward could look like.
My hope is that therapy helps you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, greater emotional awareness and confidence, stronger relationships, and practical skills you can use outside of the therapy rom. Most importantly, I want to help you identify and pursue the changes that matter to you while feeling accepted and respected throughout the process.
When Eric’s not in the therapy room:
Outside of therapy, I love hiking and exploring Colorado with my four-year-old dog, Lucy. I enjoy spending quality time with friends and when I have some downtime, you can usually find me reading a good book or watching a movie.
