I believe therapy is most effective when it's rooted in collaboration and connection. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change, and I work to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as full partners in the process. Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working in both community-based organizations and private practice — experiences that have shaped a flexible, grounded perspective on how people heal and grow. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida State University. Outside of formal training, I'm committed to continued learning so that I can show up for every client with curiosity, presence, and care.
With over a decade of experience as a school counselor in the public system, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents navigate the turbulent waters of modern growth.

Beyond the classroom, I hold a deep, personal commitment to women’s ministry. I provide a sacred, confidential space for women navigating the pain of divorce or seeking healing through post-abortion recovery. My practice is founded on the belief that no matter the complexity of your past, there is a clear, hopeful path to restoration.
Whether I’m guiding a student toward their future or walking alongside a woman through her deepest season of healing, my mission is to ensure every person feels seen, valued, and empowered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Fort Collins
Searching for therapists in Fort Collins starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Fort Collins therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, or couples therapy.
Fort Collins has a strong local care community, with options near downtown, south Fort Collins, and surrounding areas, but the right fit may also depend on schedule and format. Some people prefer in-person sessions in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or transportation. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultations, and how clearly their profile explains their style. If you are looking for a counselor in Fort Collins, Colorado, reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fort Collins can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Fort Collins, review profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
