I am an empathetic, nonjudgmental listener. My aim is to create a nurturing environment that allows you to be heard so we can create a treatment plan. Supportive therapy and complementary alternative strategies will be used in conjunction with medication management to aid your recovery to a better you.
I am dedicated to fostering a warm and nurturing relationship with my clients while shedding light along their path. The therapeutic process begins by inviting you into an environment that is safe to be vulnerable and welcoming, so that you may process where you find yourself in life, and where you wish to be.
As a licensed nurse practitioner and board-certified in both family medicine and psychiatric and mental health, I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health issues for adults and children, including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, and ADHD.
For those grappling with the challenges of depression and anxiety during their formative years, there is hope and assistance available. Together, we weave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy into a cohesive strategy tailored specifically to you. We cultivate a supportive environment that fosters growth and self-discovery by challenging negative thoughts, uncovering intrinsic motivations, and focusing on practical solutions. My mission is to guide my clients through the turbulent years of adolescence and young adulthood, empowering them to rewrite their narratives, transform struggles into strengths, and cultivate resilience and self-compassion.
With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I will provide you with a non-judgmental, supportive space where you feel witnessed, heard and safe in sharing your unique story. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression or struggles with motivation and self-esteem, I am here to walk alongside you. I am committed to helping you find healing, empowerment, growth and strength.
I offer a compassionate and supportive treatment approach. With a focus on medication management, my goal is to help you find relief and enhance your quality of life.
Having spent over two decades as a Social Worker in the Colorado Child Welfare and Adult Protective Services Systems, I've dedicated my career to serving others. For the past ten years, I've focused exclusively on mental health in various settings, including acute psychiatric/medical hospitals and community-based mental health programs. My approach is grounded in strength-based principles, and I integrate evidence-based trauma treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR therapy into my practice.
