Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Durango, CO covered by Aetna

I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the infinite capacity of humans to move through and beyond experiences that have brought us down. I bring my real self to the therapy space. I'm a therapist who personally understands the struggle. My clients work with me because they want somebody authentic and down to earth.

My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.

My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

I am a Psychiatric provider with diverse life experience. I have degrees from the US Air Force Academy, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. I take time to get to know my patients beyond their symptoms. My ultimate goal is to assist you with living your life to your fullest potential.

Hi! My name is Jenn! I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Throughout my own life, I have experienced some dark and difficult seasons, and it's those that brought me to this field of work and shaped the therapist I am today. Life has taught me the importance of kindness, compassion, open-mindedness, and the power of having someone beside you when life feels overwhelming.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring my treatment approach to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.

I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be out of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.

You might look like you have it together from the outside: steady job, functioning relationships, managing the day to day. But inside you're running on fumes, and you're tired of just pushing through. I work with young adults, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the frustration of feeling stuck without knowing why. I'm also an Army veteran, and I bring firsthand experience of what pressure, resilience, and major transitions actually demand. If faith is part of how you make sense of life, it's welcome here. If it's not, that's fine too. Clients often tell me I'm surprisingly easy to talk to.

Sometimes the hardest part is just deciding to reach out. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, family stress, and the weight of experiences that are hard to carry alone. I am affirming and experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ and transgender individuals, and I welcome clients across a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. Whether you are dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety that has become hard to manage, or stress that has quietly built up over time, I want our work together to feel like a genuine partnership.
