Our therapists offer alcohol counseling in Westminster, CO

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 professional career spans over 20 years of working in the Denver and Jefferson county community mental health systems, helping Coloradans cope with a range of diagnoses and severities. During that time I have focused on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and issues that affect men specifically. I received my master’s degree in counseling from Adams State University, and my undergraduate in social work from Phillips University.

I use the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide discussions to help rethink our situations, challenge our maladaptive beliefs, and move forward with valued actions.

In my personal life, I enjoy skiing, playing guitar, disk golf, going to concerts, and taking care of my dog. I have lived in the Denver area for over 30 years and still love to get out and play, especially if it’s free or in the mountains. If you are in need of someone to talk to I’m always willing to listen.

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 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.
