I am so happy you are here. I've practiced counseling since 2012 and am a licensed mental health counselor in Iowa. I provide telehealth therapy, which is an accessible way to receive healing from the comfort of your home. My work includes helping people with life transitions, relationship conflicts, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I offer both individual and couples counseling.
As your therapist, I offer a space that is nonjudgmental, kind, and genuinely welcoming. I understand that trying new ways of facing life's challenges can be intimidating, and my goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout that process.
Professionally, I bring experience from a variety of challenging settings—including my time serving clients and families in foster care and nursing homes, even through the COVID-19 pandemic. My academic foundation is rooted right here in Colorado, having attended CSU and Adams State.
Personally, I'm a native Coloradan, a bonus mom, and a lover of all things creative, including photography and fine art.
My ultimate purpose in this work is simple: to be an open and secure space where you can process your journey, question mindsets that no longer serve you, and work toward being the best version of yourself—as you define it.
I have over 30 years experience in the field and 25 years as a therapist. I received a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2000. I work with adults and adolescents in addressing depression/bipolar, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, anger, suicidal thoughts, life changes, illness/aging, relationships, sexuality and gender identity, spirituality, and existential issues.
My experience and work in correctional and forensic settings have enhanced my adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and skills in managing complex psychiatric presentations. My wealth of clinical expertise, leadership, and a profound dedication to serving individuals with dignity and respect. My mission is to provide safe, effective, and empathetic care while advocating for mental health awareness and reduce stigmas. I have worked in several inpatient and outpatient organizations assisting adults and teens with dual diagnosis of substance abuse and mental health.
I have over 22 years experience working in different settings, with individuals of all ages, in different paths of life, different stages of mental health needs in both hands on and supervisory positions.My passion for mental health and helping provide care to our underserved small communities has led me to become a PMHNP. I enjoy working with individuals in all stages of their mental health journey. I am dedicated to work with individuals that aspire to live the best life regardless of the circumstances. Desire to overcome and to help others.
I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.
I am a warm, empathetic therapist who values collaboration and authenticity. I take a practical, solution-oriented approach while honoring your unique experiences and perspective. I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel seen, understood, and supported, and I aim to provide tools and strategies that help you express yourself, communicate confidently, and engage fully in life. I meet clients where they are and work alongside them to build confidence, self-awareness, and balance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Colorado
Searching for therapists in Colorado means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Location and scheduling matter when comparing Colorado therapists. Someone in Denver may have access to many nearby offices, while someone in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or a mountain or rural community may want to include virtual sessions in their search. Some people prefer meeting in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.
The cost of therapy in Colorado can be a significant investment 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 by verifying your insurance, showing estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and connecting you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and has availability.
