Our counselors in Denver, CO offer child therapy

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and compassionate, with a focus on understanding each client’s full experience, strengths, and goals. I provide thoughtful evaluations, clear education, and treatment planning that may include medication management and supportive care.

Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet clients with respect, understanding, and support while helping them improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward healing and growth when you feel ready.

My journey into therapy began after I realized people were able to overcome really difficult experiences. I continue to believe that people cope with trauma in the best way they know how, and that courage and resilience come from inside. My role is to help you access those sometimes forgotten abilities. I work primarily with adults navigating trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals. Whether you're working through trauma or exploring your goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

I treat every person as the expert in their lives and approach every session with curiosity. I use EMDR and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to help manage difficult memories, Internal Family Systems to help you better understand yourself, and mindfulness and relaxation to help you manage stressful situations.

Therapy is a partnership. We'll identify and set goals that matter to you As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. Working together we will get to know each other and build a relationship. In the first few sessions, we will focus on coping and self-soothing, and I'll share techniques you can use when you feel overwhelmed.

I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in outpatient, community-based, home-based, and child welfare settings. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling and Guidance from Kansas State University and have spent my career providing individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, assessment, and treatment planning. My experience includes working with at-risk youth and families involved with social services and juvenile justice systems, as well as individuals navigating trauma, substance use, mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

I bring a warm, collaborative approach, believing the relationship is key to meaningful change. I'm compassionate but direct when needed. Using CBT and trauma-informed care, I'm especially passionate about working with adolescents, women, and families. I also spent over a decade running a real estate business, giving me a broad perspective on resilience.

I believe therapy should feel human. Clients do not have to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly what they want to change. I meet people where they are and help them understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with 9 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, identity challenges, trauma, and relational changes. My approach integrates holistic wellness, evidence-based practices, and compassionate connection to help clients find healing, balance, and purpose in their lives.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Western New Mexico University. My approach blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness, strengths-based, and culturally responsive practices. I create a collaborative space where clients feel supported as they build resilience and emotional wellness.

Wherever you are on your journey, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and renewed confidence. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward balance, connection, and self-discovery.

I'm a therapist with a practical approach grounded in DBT and behavioral principles. I work with clients stuck in intense emotions, anxiety, shame, or repeating relationship patterns. I draw from DBT, CBT, and behavioral strategies while keeping work collaborative and tailored to you. Many clients want clear tools and practice to manage overwhelm, reduce reactivity, improve communication, and feel more steady. Whether navigating stress, transitions, neurodivergent traits, or patterns that don't match who you're trying to be, my goal is to help you feel understood and empowered—with a practical plan you can use.

My style is warm, direct, practical. I use DBT and behavioral strategies to help you identify patterns and practice skills that work. I also use CBT for thinking patterns. You can expect collaboration, accountability, and real-world focus through coping plans and communication practice. My goal is for you to leave with skills you can use independently.

If you've been carrying a lot while staying functional, you're not alone. Therapy is a place where you feel genuinely understood and learn skills to make life more manageable, one step at a time. If you're ready for supportive, practical work grounded in real change and compassion, I'd be honored to work with you. Schedule an appointment when you're ready.
