Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Parker, CO

I enjoy helping clients learn skills to help them self-empower and get 'unstuck' from current barriers, and find their way to a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

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

My approach combines over 20 years of experience working in healthcare with multiple degrees in nursing and psychology/psychiatry. I have a strong background in addiction medicine, as well as general mental health care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been living in Colorado since 2005. I have a Master's of Science degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety and/or depression symptoms, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the owner of Thought Evolution Counseling, PLLC. I’ve spent several years working with clients of different ages and backgrounds, and I really enjoy helping people through the moments in life that feel heavy or uncertain. Many of the clients I work with are dealing with anxiety, feeling stuck, or going through changes that have left them overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. I’m especially drawn to supporting women during times of transition and self-reflection. I offer telehealth-only therapy so clients can access support in a way that feels flexible and comfortable.

Although I have a wide range of professional experience ranging from maternal/family health and parenting, to grief and trauma, my focus usually gravitates towards trauma, as it tends to be an underlying unaddressed symptom behind many different presentations. I believe everyone will be, at some point in their life, in need of help and because of this, everyone is thus also deserving of it. Unbiased, without judgement or fear of retaliation or criticism- just the ability to let go in a safe, trusting space. With my practice, you set the course- and I will provide the tools and support to get us there.

I wound up being a counselor after many years of me-search and research. I traveled internationally, worked for a church, went through my own bouts of trauma and started nerding out on trauma to figure out what the heck was happening to my body. I wanted to make sense of why my body was responding the way it was, and fell in love with researching trauma and responses. I also had an amazing counselor who met me where I was and showed me that emotions do matter and helped me feel safe in them. This all led me back to school to get my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Now, I love my job. I love advocating for people and meeting them where they are. I love implementing my own knowledge and education to help people understand their responses to make sense of them. I also love helping others figure out how to do life well by implementing boundaries, healthy communication and fun. I love working with women and teens.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom needed to transform pain into healing. Although pain is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to define your future. My belief is that through a trusted relationship, you can access an inner sense of safety needed to heal wounds while honoring your unique journey.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their life journey, fostering an environment for healing, transformation, and empowerment through providing accessible mental health services. I hold training and experience in children/adolescent mental health, and utilize the therapeutic powers of play to meet children where they are.
