Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Fort Collins, CO covered by Cigna

My introduction to helping people and psychology both came about, as a result of following my mom’s example and the Bob Newhart Show. My mother was a natural people person with a keen interest and background in psychology. My take-away from the Bob Newhart Show drove home the needs for humor and light-heartedness as well as a genuine love for what you do. I believe that those qualities: love for people and my passion and seeing the humor in things truly define me, both as a therapist and a person. My academic journey led me to both bachelors and masters degrees from The University of Northern Colorado and included intensive training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy during my sabbatical in between my degrees. With a strong theoretical base supporting me, I moved forward and was able to blend my education with twenty years of real-world experience. I went on and diversified my experience as I worked in community counseling, community corrections, Inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and private practice. Although our learning never ceases, I feel very comfortable and sincere in offering clients my wealth of experience, knowledge of human behavior, and most of all, a kind ear.

I have 10+ years of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, including extensive experience in the treatment of depression and mood disorders, substance abuse disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.

I am a Native New Yorker, living in Colorado since the Mets won the World Series. I use my training in conjunction with my life experience in the therapy room, but it's always your therapy room.

If you’re seeking compassionate, collaborative support, you’re in the right place! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary (2018) and training at Denver Family Institute. I support individuals, couples, and families through life transitions like career, marriage, pregnancy, early parenthood, anxiety, depression, and addiction recovery with warm, practical, collaborative care. I’ve worked in multiple settings, including substance‐use intensive outpatient programs, which shaped my systems‐focused approach.

I help clients understand the different facets of their stories. To do so I'll invite you to slow down and attune to your self. Becoming aware of and meeting your wounds with compassion and curiosity will allow them to integrate and begin to heal. It's in relationship which we are wounded, and in relationship we heal. It's an honor to come alongside you as you explore and examine the patterns and themes of your life.

I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker because I am passionate about helping individuals recover from religious trauma, relationship wounds, and patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism. Through 10 years of bringing this passion to therapy, I have witnessed my clients gain radical self-compassion and build a strong, trusting relationship with themselves. From this deeply supportive space, they have learned to set and keep boundaries for self-care, find a clear understanding of their identity, and uncovered a deep and abiding ability to nurture and care for their pain and trauma. This has resulted in my clients gently leading themselves into the life they’ve been yearning for.

I deeply value a strong, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship and the co-creation of this container for the work we do together. I value and trust your internal healing wisdom, and am committed to exploring and developing this together in safety.
