Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Frisco, CO

Small town living is a special kind of living. I have lived in northeastern Colorado my entire life, except for a short 5 years in Olympia, WA. I understand small town life.

I decided to become a therapist 14 years ago and completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy.

Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.

On the outside, you may look high-functioning —managing responsibilities, caring for others, showing up for work and relationships — while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that leave you drained—you don’t have to navigate it alone!

I believe healing is not about becoming someone completely different — it’s about reconnecting with the version of yourself that has been buried underneath stress, survival, anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you in the process.

My priority is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. With over 40 years in healthcare—including service as a former Navy Nurse Corps Officer and retired military veteran—I bring values of resilience, trust, and teamwork into every therapeutic relationship. I view care as a partnership and work to empower you to take an active role in your mental health.

Clinical Focus & Services

I provide pharmacotherapy (medication management) motivational interviewing, and other therapeutic modalities. We can assess during the first meeting if your treatment requires additional therapeutic support. I will provide a referral to a licensed therapist to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

I believe we all have unique strengths that can help us navigate life’s challenges. Seeking out support through counseling is one way to re-discover and to cultivate those strengths. I work with adolescents and adults to assist them through life’s ups and downs. I am LGBTQ+ allied and affirming and I utilize a multicultural approach when working with clients. I welcome you to come as you are— I will meet you wherever you are at.

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.
