Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Castle Rock, CO covered by Aetna

I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

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.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected? I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, addiction, emotional challenges, and difficult relationships. I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University, graduating with high distinction. My professional background includes residential addiction treatment, individual therapy, and supporting individuals and families through complex life challenges. I am especially passionate about helping people understand how past experiences and relationships shape their sense of self and connection with others. I also support parents and those impacted by a loved one's substance use, including challenges with boundaries, codependency, and burnout.

I have been in counseling for over 19 years. I love working with teens through adulthood clients.

I have been in the mental health field for over twelve years. My experience has allowed me to provide therapeutic services focused on those who have experienced trauma, family issues, lack of identity/purpose, and couples/relationship issues.

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction?

Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.
