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

After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colorado State University, I worked in the corporate world as a business consultant. While working as a consultant, I frequently observed how people’s hectic work schedules and day-to-day stressors could slowly wear them down emotionally, resulting in their happiness being compromised.

Seeing this trend in the business world, coupled with the passion I’ve always had for understanding people’s thinking and way of doing things, prompted me to pursue my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from University of Colorado Denver. Now with my professional experience and educational background, I can more easily navigate how to handle the day-to-day stressors and help my clients manage the mental health piece of their lives.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. I have advanced training in mental health assessment, medication management, and therapeutic support for individuals of all ages. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, and ADHD. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in mental health and trauma, I provide compassionate, client-centered care. I believe healing is a holistic process that addresses both mind and body. Working collaboratively with clients, I create a safe space to explore experiences and heal from past wounds.

We often seek therapy when we're ready for change and part of our life has become unbalanced. A feeling of discontent, depression, or anxiety may have lasted a lifetime, or may have been initiated by a transitional change, such as loss of a relationship or career, or a yearning to grow beyond where we have been stuck. I welcome all parts of you, and will meet you where you are at in the journey towards wholeness.

I am a licensed clinical therapist with experience working in both crisis settings and long-term trauma-focused therapy. Early in my career, I worked at a crisis center where I completed my internship and later worked for several years supporting individuals in high-stress and emotionally difficult situations. This experience helped shape a calm, grounded, and compassionate approach to therapy.

I specialize in EMDR-informed therapy, trauma, attachment wounds, codependency, grief, and relational patterns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in repeating emotional or relationship dynamics despite having insight into their patterns. My approach focuses on helping clients move beyond survival-based coping and create deeper emotional healing and lasting change.

I use a collaborative, person-centered, and attachment-based approach tailored to each client’s needs. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and strive to create a supportive space where clients feel emotionally safe, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.

As your Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. You can trust that I am fully committed to your well-being and dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.

Something positive, warm, and uplifting about me as your PMHNP is that I genuinely believe in your strength and resilience. I see your potential for growth and healing, even during the toughest of times. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges.

Credentials and Experience

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and Colorado, a board-certified counselor (NCC), and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision - which means I don't just practice therapy, I train and supervise other therapists. That clinical depth shapes everything about how I work with clients.

My specialization is neurocounseling: integrating what we know about the brain and nervous system into practical, grounded therapy. I also hold specialized training in telehealth - so working with you virtually isn't a workaround, it's where I do my best work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for too long.

My name is Angela, and I've lived in Colorado with my family for five years. I'm originally from Oklahoma and completed my undergraduate studies at Oklahoma State University before pursuing my Master's at Colorado Christian University. My specialization is in trauma counseling, and I believe that understanding our past is crucial for moving forward. As a counselor, I help my clients to identify the root causes of their problems and support them in their journey to healing and personal growth.
