Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Commerce City, CO

I am committed and dedicated to serving my patients and community. I am an advocate for mental health, and I integrate innovative treatments in my practice.

I have been a counselor for eight years now, and I have helped a wide variety of client's seek solutions and relief during that time. I think that counseling should be a collaborative process, and I am very flexible in being able to meet clients where they are it in order to help them get to where they want to be.

I have been a practicing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for five and a half years. Before becoming an NP, I was a psychiatric nurse for seven years, where I worked in in-patient and residential facilities. I worked as a Director of Nursing and am also currently an associate medical director of nursing at a community mental health center. I have experience working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, and more.

I believe therapy is most effective when people feel safe and supported, and my master’s degree in forensic psychology taught me to see things from multiple perspectives to support clients. I have worked in outpatient substance use treatment and integrated healthcare and also taught and supervised students and early-career therapists. These experiences have helped tailor my practice to support clients experiencing complex and traumatic events, relationship issues, addiction, and life changes.
