On the outside, you may look high-functioning —managing responsibilities, caring for others, showing up for work and relationships — while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that leave you drained—you don’t have to navigate it alone!

I believe healing is not about becoming someone completely different — it’s about reconnecting with the version of yourself that has been buried underneath stress, survival, anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you in the process.

With over 15 years in the field, I am a savvy, straightforward therapist ready to help you stop analyzing your life and start mastering it. My work is not a passive discussion; it is a direct and solution-oriented challenge to the barriers holding you back. My experience as a licensed professional counselor forms the foundation of a targeted approach, expertly blending proven techniques to confront issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and complex relationship or parenting dynamics head-on. If you are serious about fighting for a better future, my non-judgmental yet rigorous style will provide the critical incident debriefing or grief and loss support you need. We aren't here to dwell on the "why"; we are here to execute the "how."

With over a decade of experience as a school counselor in the public system, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents navigate the turbulent waters of modern growth. I believe in a holistic approach—partnering with parents to foster resilience, academic success, and strong family communication.

Beyond the classroom, I hold a deep, personal commitment to women’s ministry. I provide a sacred, confidential space for women navigating the pain of divorce or seeking healing through post-abortion recovery. My practice is founded on the belief that no matter the complexity of your past, there is a clear, hopeful path to restoration.

Whether I’m guiding a student toward their future or walking alongside a woman through her deepest season of healing, my mission is to ensure every person feels seen, valued, and empowered.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salida, CO

Searching for therapists in Salida starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, what sessions may feel like, and whether they have experience with the concerns you want to address.

In a smaller city like Salida, the number of local in-person therapists may be limited. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Colorado. Consider what fits your schedule, whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, and how soon a therapist is accepting new clients. Reading profiles before you book can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is available.

Therapy in Salida can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
