Family therapy and counseling in Longmont, CO

I work with adolescents and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy. I help individuals identify their goals and make the changes necessary to help them lead more productive and fulfilling lives. I am directive, and I provide a warm, caring and non-judgmental environment to explore the issues and life-events with which you may be struggling.

“Have you been carrying a lot, but haven’t had a place to truly unpack it?” I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Sessions move at your pace, with a focus on understanding the root of what you’re experiencing—not just managing symptoms. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs and experiences. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and self-esteem. My work includes supporting adults from all walks of life, including veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, men and women, human trafficking victims, domestic violence victims, high-acuity clients, and those receiving care at different levels of intensity. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build effective coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Welcome, and thank you for being here. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Public Accountant. This unique combination allows me to help clients navigate both emotional struggles and practical life stressors with greater clarity and confidence. I provide a supportive space to understand the patterns shaping your life and develop practical tools for lasting change. If you’re looking for a therapist who will support you and meet you where you are, I would be honored to walk alongside you!

My primary focus is working with adolescents, families, and adults, though I have a range of experience working with people of all ages and many different demographics. In particular, I have a strong background in working with at-risk youth, kinship caregivers, and foster/adoptive families. I also have a background of working with young adults transitioning to independent living, as well as adults of all ages.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado, and have been practicing as a therapist since 2022. Prior to this, I worked with youth, adults, and families in a variety of case management roles, including in schools, domestic violence shelters, shelters for those without housing, and families experiencing various systems involvement. This has given me an understanding of the many challenges life can bring, and equipped me with the tools to support you in navigating various barriers and difficulties.

Reaching out for therapy can take courage, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with nearly a decade of clinical experience in inpatient behavioral health. I focus on depression and bipolar mood concerns, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.

With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.

Southern accent & hospitality from an authentic "GRITS" ( Girls Raised In The South). Years of dedication to practicing ethical; yet not traditional. Offering the warmth of my version of southern hospitality. To be the change you wish to see, with a eccentric flair to create a safe space energetically & physically for therapy. The place for inquiry of curiosity. Intentional for growth, healing, and sustainability. Intention for functional relationships with self and others through self confidence. The practice of self acceptance with detail to co-creating an honest therapeutic relationship, through accountably, mindfulness, compassion. A choice to self~disclose to cultivate an experience of honestly with the trust of truth. The choice to self~disclose has the potential for honesty and trust, with no hierarchy, and learning from one another. To honor & bare witness to choose a life of freedom through the awareness of non~judgment. An opportunity to connect through trauma, the release, & to let go of limited beliefs. A conversation about self-forgiveness with a mantra of: "We are lovable even when we make mistakes". 20+ years of teaching yoga, meditation, and somatic connection.
