I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.
My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQAI and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.
I have been a practicing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for five and a half years. Before becoming an NP, I was a psychiatric nurse for seven years, where I worked in in-patient and residential facilities. I worked as a Director of Nursing and am also currently an associate medical director of nursing at a community mental health center. I have experience working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, and more.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Golden
Finding the right psychiatrist in Golden, CO starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing prescribing plans. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) also prescribe and manage medication and are widely available in the Golden area. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or PMHNP may be the right fit.
Golden is a smaller community within the Denver metro area, so many residents also consider providers in nearby cities like Arvada, Lakewood, and Wheat Ridge. Virtual appointments can expand your options further, connecting you with licensed prescribers across Colorado from home. When evaluating providers, consider their experience with your specific concerns, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their approach aligns with your preferences. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident in your choice.
Psychiatry sessions in Golden can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans — and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage.
