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.
I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting your mental wellness. I help children, teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and ADHD.
I completed my training at Case Western Reserve University, and I went on to complete additional certification at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
I aim to create a safe space where you feel heard and empowered. I would love to assist you on your path to growing, as we work together to achieve personalized, goals that promote positive outcomes.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my background spans decades in high-intensity environments, including service as a critical-care helicopter and fixed-wing flight nurse/paramedic, an officer in the United States Air Force Reserves, and an

I work with adults and adolescents, including first responders, veterans, entrepreneurs,
and individuals navigating complex or generational trauma. I am trained in EMDR and
use a trauma-informed approach to help clients process difficult experiences while reconnecting with clarity, resilience, and direction.

I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who came to mental health care from a background in holistic health and wellness coaching. That background shapes how I work: I ask thorough questions, stay curious about the full picture, and bring a calm, steady presence to every session.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
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 Longmont
Searching for psychiatrists in Longmont starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, stress, or life transitions. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and approach match the care you want.
In a smaller city like Longmont, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Colorado markets, so virtual appointments can expand your options. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy as part of care. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a psychiatrist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect from sessions.
Psychiatric care in Longmont can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes this easier by helping you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
