Grief counselors and therapists in Monument, CO

Hi! I'm a Master's level licensed psychotherapist with almost 40 years of experience. I'm invested in your best outcomes, your emotional growth and success through this process. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, pulling in mindful awareness work for clarity and creative skill-set development. We'll gently explore your family of origin, your current sense of self and related topics. We'll build a therapeutic plan that fits for what you're looking for.

I believe that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore life's challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work and more than 11 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and complex systems. Before becoming a social worker, I spent several years as a grassroots community organizer, advocating alongside individuals and communities to address systemic barriers and promote social change. That experience continues to shape my belief that every person's story is influenced by both their personal experiences and the larger systems around them.

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. I recognize that seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I strive to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self without judgment. Together, we'll identify your goals, build practical tools, and work toward the life you want to create.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season, processing past experiences, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Therapy should be accessible and affordable, you deserve to life a live free of self judgment and doubt. I offer a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore all parts of yourself. My approach is collaborative, helping you to find skills and ways of thinking that actually make a difference. My role is to walk alongside you as you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and reconnect with your own clarity and voice.

Hello! Thank you for taking the brave step in moving forward in your journey of healing. I hope to provide a space for you to process, explore, and find relief with the thoughts and feelings that have led you to seek support.

Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

If you're looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I'd love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I'm back in private practice, and I see teens, adults, and seniors across Colorado and Wisconsin by telehealth. People come to me carrying anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, anger, stress that will not switch off, family and relationship strain, substance use, and the weight of a chronic health condition. Our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.
