Greetings!
I practice integrative psychiatry, emphasizing holistic approaches and stressing inclusivity. I have been an advanced practice nurse for 9 years, specializing in psychiatry for the past 4. I specialize in depression, PTSD, anxiety and ADHD, am comfortable providing care across the lifespan, and am very supportive of the LBGTQIA+ communities.
You’re here because something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or just off. Maybe you’ve been strong for everyone else for years and you’re finally wondering, “Who’s taking care of me?” Maybe you’re in a season where you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. You might look fine on the outside—but inside, you’re tired, disconnected, or longing for a real change.
I get it. Most of the client's I work with feel exactly that way before they reach out. They’re smart, capable, and resilient... but they’re also carrying a lot. Life transitions, relationships, trauma, people-pleasing, burnout, old coping habits—they add up. I help my clients' slow down, and understand what’s driving them.
Like many, I live in and love the state of Colorado. Any chance I get I'm out exploring the outdoors. It provides balance in my personal and professional life.
As a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I share my interests with clients I see.
When I was working full-time as a Family Nurse Practitioner I saw an unmet need in clients finding a balance in their physical and mental health. I decided to return to school to strengthen my knowledge in psychiatric mental health care.
For the past five years my focus has included seeing clients with substance dependence, MAT treatment, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I especially enjoy the 1:1 experience via telehealth seeing clients in the comforts of their own home.
If you're looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I'd love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I'm back in private practice, and I see teens, adults, and seniors across Colorado and Wisconsin by telehealth. People come to me carrying anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, anger, stress that will not switch off, family and relationship strain, substance use, and the weight of a chronic health condition. Our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Denver
Finding addiction therapists in Denver starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with medication support when needed. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Denver has many therapists across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, LoDo, and surrounding areas, which can make the search easier to start and harder to narrow. Consider whether you prefer an in-person office you can reach by car, transit, or walking, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with harm reduction or substance use care. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about addiction, what session structure may look like, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Denver can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
