Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Fort Collins, CO

I believe therapy is most effective when people feel safe and supported, and my master’s degree in forensic psychology taught me to see things from multiple perspectives to support clients. I have worked in outpatient substance use treatment and integrated healthcare and also taught and supervised students and early-career therapists. These experiences have helped tailor my practice to support clients experiencing complex and traumatic events, relationship issues, addiction, and life changes.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with first responders, veterans, and individuals in other high-stress professions who are navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, depression, and the family and relationship challenges that often accompany these careers. In addition to this population, I also work with mom's who are feeling anxiety, burnout, and depression. It is important to explore difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most to you. Building trust and safety in our sessions is always my first priority.

What makes my practice unique is my personal experience with responder and veteran culture and being a mom, which allows me to offer not only clinical expertise, but a genuine understanding of the realities, pressures, and unspoken challenges that come with these professions.

I am deeply passionate about this work because I see the daily demands you face, and I believe you deserve a space where you are truly understood and supported. My goal is to help you feel mentally healthier, grounded, and better equipped to manage the weight of your work, whatever that might be, so you can continue to serve with strength while also enjoying your life and career.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

I am License Clinical Social Work with 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples to move beyond past and present struggles so they can live healthy, hope-filled, and meaningful lives. My approach focuses on identifying and addressing root issues, believing that true healing begins at the source.

I have worked with clients who experience anxiety and depression for over 15 years, 8 years of that as an LPC. I have experience in multiple settings including outpatient and inpatient.

I have worked my entire career within a hospital setting and specialize in working with first responders, healthcare providers and doctors.

Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.

I am accepting new clients.

We all need someone to listen to, understand, and support us, especially during times of uncertainty and transition. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel comfortable to be yourself and share your fears, hopes, and struggles. As each client is a unique individual, I feel the process of counseling should be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and have the innate ability to heal.
