Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Loveland, CO

You might look like you have it together from the outside: steady job, functioning relationships, managing the day to day. But inside you're running on fumes, and you're tired of just pushing through. I work with young adults, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the frustration of feeling stuck without knowing why. I'm also an Army veteran, and I bring firsthand experience of what pressure, resilience, and major transitions actually demand. If faith is part of how you make sense of life, it's welcome here. If it's not, that's fine too. Clients often tell me I'm surprisingly easy to talk to.

For over 10 years, I've had the opportunity to support people through some of life's hardest moments. My journey has taken me from working with youth in residential treatment to helping families involved in foster care, adoption, and divorce, as well as individuals involved in the justice system. I also spent time working at an eating disorder and substance use treatment center before becoming a high school counselor, where I currently work. Throughout every role, one thing has stayed the same; I genuinely love helping people and have always been passionate about mental health.

Do you have a stack of partially read self-help books collecting dust in the corner? Maybe you had hopes they would provide the information you were seeking to stay cool and collected through challenging times - because let’s face it, 2020 was pretty much a shitshow. It is alright to feel overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain, just know you don’t have to stay in that place. Whether you are looking for coping strategies to build resiliency through life transitions or wanting to explore deeper parts of yourself and how you relate to the world, I would be honored to walk along side you in your healing journey to find your authentic self. We can work together to create transformational change.

I wholeheartedly believe in the ability for people to make changes regardless of life circumstances. Our sessions will be filled with humor, empathy, and compassion as we focus on making progress towards your desired outcome.

I have 12 years of vast clinical experience. I am trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and hold a specialized credential for intimate partner violence. I am a certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional Level II, Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I’m also a National Certified Counselor. All this really means is that I may have some information you find useful.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

I have been a therapist for over a decade, supporting various client types. I have a Master's Degree from Colorado Christian University, and enjoy working with people from various backgrounds. I am EMDR trained, and also enjoy working with various other modalities including IFS parts work and Somatic techniques.
