Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Monument, CO

As a military spouse of more than 27 years and a former military BRAT, I understand what it means to navigate constant change, uncertainty, and rebuilding. Those experiences have shaped the compassionate, culturally responsive approach I bring to therapy today.

I provide virtual therapy for adolescents and adults in Texas, Colorado, and Florida, supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, and major life transitions. I have a special passion for working with military members, veterans, military families, the BIPOC community, and parents and caregivers who have spent so much time caring for others that they've lost sight of themselves.

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported—not judged. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical tools for everyday life, and help you move toward healing, resilience, and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Outside of therapy, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, exploring museums, trying new cuisines, baking from scratch, or working on a creative project. I believe healing happens through authentic connection, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

• Calm, warm, friendly, humor with cultural competency.
• Knowledgeable, experienced and Empathic
• Open-minded, Non judgemental and Active listener.

Taking the first step toward healing is a courageous act, and I’m here to support you on this journey. Whether you’re navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, or life stress, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals and work toward building the clarity, confidence, and balance you deserve.

I am accepting new clients.

We all need someone to listen to, understand, and support us, especially during times of uncertainty and transition. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel comfortable to be yourself and share your fears, hopes, and struggles. As each client is a unique individual, I feel the process of counseling should be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and have the innate ability to heal.

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.
