Hello,

Hi, I'm Michelle, a psychiatric nurse practitioner passionate about supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I believe in creating safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're facing a new challenge or managing a long-standing condition, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and expertise.
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
entrepreneur. My career has been shaped in spaces where calm leadership, accountability, and compassion are essential—not optional.
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 also have training in psychedelic- assisted therapies, with a focused interest in ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin-assisted approaches, and I am a licensed facilitator-in-training in the State of Colorado.
I am a husband and father of five, including two children with special needs (one visually impaired and one neurodivergent), and a grandfather of two. My wife is a trauma-informed yoga teacher specializing in complex trauma, and our shared perspective reflects a deep respect for both the psychological and physiological aspects
of healing.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wheat Ridge
Searching for psychiatrists in Wheat Ridge starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage psychiatric care over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and skills-based support. Both can be useful entry points, depending on what you’re looking for. If you want support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose profile lists experience with your specific concern.
Wheat Ridge has a smaller local provider market than nearby Denver, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care convenient. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so schedule fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their clinical focus, appointment style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Wheat Ridge 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after your insurance is verified. You can compare profiles, review availability, 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.
