Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, grief, or depression take hold. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace.
Like many of my clients, I struggled a lot and felt like life was harder then it should be. Having done the work of therapy myself, I am now a licensed professional counselor. Before entering private practice, I spent thousands of hours in various different practices working with clients that struggled with depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with men, women, teens and adults (14-45). I've found that undiagnosed neurodiverse clients and folks with traumatic family backgrounds are frequently attracted to me and so I've been putting more emphasis on study and research in these areas.
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.

I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lafayette, CO
Searching for therapists in Lafayette starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Lafayette therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may feel like.
Lafayette is a smaller Colorado city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Colorado. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Provider profiles can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, areas of focus, and fit before you book.
Therapy in Lafayette can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
