Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Durango, CO covered by United Healthcare

I will meet you where you are. I will do my best to help you feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. There is no judgement.

I enjoy helping others and hope to connect with those seeking to improve their mental and emotional health and achieve a healthier and happier life. I have had significant success with anxiety and stress reduction, depression management and reduction, release of past traumatic memories (ie. abuse, serious accidents, witnessing horrific events, etc), relationship issues, parenting skills, behavior management, and grief and loss.

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

As a diversely trained therapist, I know that caring for our mental health is as crucial as caring for our physical health. I have been working for four years in a clinical setting with complex trauma and have specifically focused on anxiety, depression, ADHD and PTSD. I know that starting talking about mental health and beginning therapy can be intimidating and look forward to working in a comforting and personalized approach.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.

I understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but taking that first step is a powerful part of the healing process. If you’re ready to explore how therapy can support you in creating lasting change, I’d love to connect. Together, we can work toward building resilience, enhancing your well-being, and achieving the goals that matter most to you. Let’s take that first step together—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My passion lies in instilling hope that recovery and wellness is possible – and worth it! I specialize in eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, grief, and the unexpected twists & turns of life. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes the challenges we face—whether it’s the stress of being a new parent, navigating a difficult relationship, managing trauma, or dealing with anxiety and depression—can feel insurmountable. I believe that every person has inherent strengths that can be harnessed to create positive change. In our work together, we will explore your unique needs and build practical, personalized tools that empower you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

With over 20 years of experience in diverse behavioral health settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to help you navigate challenges. I specialize in maternal mental health, trauma, women's issues, relational issues, family conflict, substance use concerns, anxiety, and work or career-related stress.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. I work with clients healing from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.
