Denver families face unique challenges navigating parenting, relationships, and life transitions. Headway's network of warm, solution-oriented providers specializes in family dynamics, attachment repair, and communication skills to help your household thrive.
As an experiential therapist with a background in the emergency medical field, I use a strengths-based, open approach, primarily drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. I am also EMDR trained and have 20 years of experience in trauma counseling. I specialize in working with first responders and healthcare professionals.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.
My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritable, or burnt out? Navigating the pressures of life can strain your relationships and diminish your self-worth. I specialize in helping talented and gifted high performers cultivate self compassion, stop worrying, and establish healthy boundaries. Together, we'll explore your feelings, thought and behavior patterns, empower your voice, and create sustainable habits. Through this collaborative journey, we’ll set attainable goals that foster emotional balance and resilience, guiding you toward the fulfilling life you deserve. You're not alone - let's uncover your path to holistic well-being.
I am a published researcher and licensed professional counselor with a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology.

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding family therapists in Denver starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy often focuses on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, divorce-related changes, co-parenting, and communication across generations. Licensed marriage and family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, attachment-focused work, co-parenting support, or experience with family divorce counseling.
Denver has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, Highlands, and Washington Park, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit fit your schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for more family members to attend. Family therapy may include the full family, caregivers and children, co-parents, siblings, or individual members at different points. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe session structure, communication style, scheduling availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Family therapy in Denver 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 you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and compare profiles in one place. You can browse family counselors in Denver, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
