Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Greenwood Village, CO


I enjoy working with clients ages 16+, but most of my clients are 25-50. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and careers such as educators, engineers, nurses, students, stay at home parents and those between careers.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and hold a Master degree from Xavier University. You can expect a safe and comfortable environment as we dialogue to help you sort through emotions. We may delve into your past but we won't dwell there because your energy is needed in the present moment as you look within yourself to find peace and the power to be your true self.

PLEASE NOTE: I am licensed in CO/FL/TX but accept insurance only in CO/FL/TX. Self pay option is available at $95 for in person sessions and $60 for tele-health.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Denver, CO


I am a lover of many things, but there is nothing dearer and nearer to my heart than the clients I help. I have been a nurse for 18 years now. Almost 100% of those years, I have spent working in or around mental health. Not to mention, I grew up in a family where mental illness directly impacted my family members. This is how and why I am passionate and dedicated to giving the utmost respect and care to any and all clients who choose me as their mental health provider. I want my clients to think of me as their teammate when it comes to battling mental health.

Therapist

My mindfulness-based therapeutic practice integrates a body-centered approach with Buddhist psychological models. Bringing awareness to the present moment in each session supports the observation of thoughts and impulses in real time as they come up. We’ll collaborate as we gain a deeper and more subtle understanding and felt-sense of the unfolding patterns that appear. Cultivating a relationship based on trust and open communication is the foundation of my compassionate and direct method.

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I work with creative, self-aware adults navigating anxiety & overthinking, grief, ADHD & other neurodivergence, relationship struggles, and major life transitions and reinvention — people in the middle of real change.

Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and collaborative. We slow down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and then we figure out how to move you forward.

I have a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and have worked in inpatient rehab, community mental health, and private practice. And I've had several other careers before this: massage therapist, editor and writer, writing instructor, park ranger, all of which inform how I show up as a therapist.
