Hi! As a licensed professional counselor my priority is assisting you on your own journey. I want you to find your path and life your life to the fullest. Realizing you need assistance in your journey is the next step of growth on your path. I have been practicing for 4 years now and love working with clients who are ready to grow in their journey.
Small town living is a special kind of living. I have lived in northeastern Colorado my entire life, except for a short 5 years in Olympia, WA. I understand small town life.
I decided to become a therapist 14 years ago and completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy.
Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.
With decades of experience, I am well-versed in many different modalities. No one approach works for everyone, so I built a large tool kit to have a broad range of tools available. Areas of expertise include individual, couples and family counseling, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, special needs of gifted and talented, medical social work, impact of illness, traumatic brain injury, grief and bereavement, positive aging, geriatrics and end of life issues. Having been raised in a military family I enjoy working with our veterans, active duty personnel and their families.
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.
As your Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. You can trust that I am fully committed to your well-being and dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.
Something positive, warm, and uplifting about me as your PMHNP is that I genuinely believe in your strength and resilience. I see your potential for growth and healing, even during the toughest of times. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges.
Have you ever felt that standard talk therapy is just treading water, and you're finally ready to swim to the shore?
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."
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.

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 an Addiction Therapist in Woodland Park, CO
Searching for therapists in Woodland Park starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists can support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach align with what you want to focus on. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing can help you understand how a therapist may structure care.
In a smaller city like Woodland Park, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger Colorado markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Colorado. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Woodland Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
