I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience. I specialize in treating people with anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, and parenting concerns.

I'm originally from the East Coast and moved to Denver to earn my MA and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver. I completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the Mental Health Center of Denver (now called WellPower), where I provided crisis support, psychotherapy, and psychological assessments.

Since then, I’ve found my passion in growing my own private practice (Evergrow Therapy & Assessment), where I work with clients across the lifespan to support their growth, balance, and well-being.

I see my job as helping folks examine why we beat ourselves and others up emotionally, and how to do something different. Together, we’ll work on figuring out what matters most to you and navigating toward it. If you value straight-forwardness, humor, geeky metaphors, and having someone sit with you in the discomfort, we are probably a good match.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Golden

Searching for therapists in Golden starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life transitions. As you compare Golden therapy options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of concerns they focus on.

Golden is a smaller city, so local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. You may find therapists near Downtown Golden, South Golden, or North Golden, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Colorado. When comparing Golden counseling services, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your calendar, provides in-person or virtual sessions, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, background, and approach to care.

Therapy in Golden can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Golden, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
