Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Monument, CO

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My background in nursing has shaped my compassionate approach to supporting people across the lifespan. My psychiatric training included caring for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health conditions.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management, creating a welcoming space where you can feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing your concerns. Together, we will work toward goals that support your mental health and everyday well-being.

Healing from trauma is not a straight path and you don’t have to walk it alone. I specialize in supporting people of all ages, from youth as young as 10 to older adults, in processing and healing from difficult experiences. I believe therapy works best when it’s a partnership, and I show up with authenticity, compassion, and respect for your unique journey. My approach is eclectic, drawing on a variety of evidence-based tools, with a foundation in a client-centered philosophy. I adapt each session to meet you where you are, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent coach, and former educator with 36 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families move from conflict and overwhelm toward greater calm, confidence, and connection. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, school and family challenges, divorce, workplace stress, career transitions, and burnout. My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I also help parents reduce power struggles, strengthen communication, and respond to their children with greater clarity, confidence, and consistency.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my background spans decades in high-intensity environments, including service as a critical-care helicopter and fixed-wing flight nurse/paramedic, an officer in the United States Air Force Reserves, and an

entrepreneur. My career has been shaped in spaces where calm leadership, accountability, and compassion are essential—not optional.

I work with adults and adolescents, including first responders, veterans, entrepreneurs,

and individuals navigating complex or generational trauma. I am trained in EMDR and

use a trauma-informed approach to help clients process difficult experiences while reconnecting with clarity, resilience, and direction. I also have training in psychedelic- assisted therapies, with a focused interest in ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin-assisted approaches, and I am a licensed facilitator-in-training in the State of Colorado.

I am a husband and father of five, including two children with special needs (one visually impaired and one neurodivergent), and a grandfather of two. My wife is a trauma-informed yoga teacher specializing in complex trauma, and our shared perspective reflects a deep respect for both the psychological and physiological aspects

of healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. and a trained in EMDR therapist. I work with individuals, partners, couples, and polycules on a variety of issues related to love, sex and relationships. I believe in the ethos of “helping others help themselves”; as a therapist, this is still my greatest strength as well as the cornerstone that has shaped my practice today. My specializations lie in treating those who are exploring their sex lives, whether it be individually or with a partner(s).

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted for who you are. I work with teens and adults and have experience supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can be honest about what you are experiencing and feel comfortable moving at a pace that works for you. My goal is to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where we can work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.

My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

I am an LCSW who enjoys empowerment work and supporting clients in resolving stressors in their lives. I have experience with adolescents and adults in various practice locations. My clinical focus is anxiety and trauma.
