Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Cheyenne, WY

I received my MS in Marriage and Family Counseling from a CACREP Accredited counseling program, with an emphasis in crisis and trauma. I enjoy working with trauma clients and consider it the main focus of my practice.

Compassionate Growth for Every Stage of Life

LPC (WY & CO) | Trauma-Informed & Solution-Focused Care

Choosing a therapist is a significant step toward the life you want to lead. I believe that while life can present overwhelming challenges, you possess an innate resilience and the capacity for profound growth. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and collaborative space where we can transform those challenges into strengths.

With a background in working with individuals across various age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults, I bring extensive experience to our therapeutic relationship. My focus areas include ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I'm here to provide the support you need to navigate the challenges you may be facing.

I have been a therapist for 25 years and am currently licensed in both Colorado and Wyoming. My primary emphasis has been in the realm of grief and loss issues (death of a loved one, unresolved grief, job loss, loss of health, loss of meaning, etc.), women's issues, lifespan issues, depression, reactivity, complex PTSD, and relationship counseling. I have an unusual approach to these issues, including a belief in a certain degree of warmth as being healing in the therapeutic relationship.
