I'm a therapist specializing in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and the relationship concerns that tend to show up alongside them, with more than ten years of experience across private practice, clinical, and school settings. Over the years I've worked with children, adolescents, and here at Talkiatry, adults who are moving through a hard transition and want to feel more like themselves on the other side of it.

My approach is empathetic, encouraging, and genuine, and it starts from a simple belief: you already carry the tools for growth, and my job is to help you find and use them. I begin with a thorough clinical assessment so I actually understand your background, what's weighing on you, and what you're hoping to change. From there we build a personalized plan together, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, aimed at easing symptoms, strengthening your coping skills, and setting goals that are meaningful and genuinely reachable. My hope is that the work builds real confidence and resilience, and moves you toward a steadier sense of inner peace.

I'll be honest with you and I'll work at a pace that feels manageable, not rushed. You'll leave a session feeling heard, and with something concrete to hold onto.

Curious whether we'd work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on helping adults and older adults build practical, healthy coping skills through talk therapy. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Therapy in 2013, and I started my career in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. That's where I learned to work with people in genuinely difficult moments and to start from where someone actually is, not where a treatment plan says they should be. From there I moved into crisis centers and outpatient work, which shaped how I think about steady, ongoing support.

I care a lot about open communication. In our first session, I want to really understand your history, what's brought you in, and what you're hoping to get out of this, before I suggest anything. From there we set clear, meaningful goals together, and I build a plan around what matters to you rather than a one-size approach. I check in as we go to make sure the work still lines up with what you came for.

My sessions tend to be conversational and grounded. You can expect me to listen closely, ask questions, and be honest with you about what I'm noticing. I want you to feel heard and respected, and comfortable enough to say the things that are hard to say out loud.

If you're looking for a therapist who'll take your goals seriously and work alongside you, reach out and let's talk.

Most of my work as a therapist is talk therapy with adults, including older adults navigating the later chapters of life. I've practiced in both outpatient and inpatient settings, and I earned my Master's degree in psychology in 2016, so I've seen how differently people arrive at care depending on where they are and what they've been through. That range shapes how I listen.

Open communication matters to me, and I work closely with you to set goals that are clear and actually reachable, not aspirational for their own sake. I want you to feel heard and respected, and I want you to be an active participant rather than someone I'm doing things to. My approach is grounded in trust, collaboration, and mutual respect; that isn't a slogan, it's the condition I need in order to be useful to you.

The first session is mostly me learning your story: your history, what's bringing you in, and what you're hoping will be different. From there I build a plan that fits your needs, your values, and your own objectives, and I adjust it as we go and as you make progress. I'd rather change course honestly than stay attached to a plan that isn't working.

If any of this fits, reach out and we'll start with a conversation. We can figure out the rest together from there.

Most of my work as a therapist is talk therapy with people across a wide span of life, from adolescents finding their footing to adults navigating the middle years to older adults facing the changes that come with getting older. I hold licenses in both mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy, and I've done that work in homes, in schools, and now virtually, which has taught me that people show up ready to talk in all kinds of settings.

I care about open communication, so I'll always tell you what I'm thinking and ask you to do the same. In our first session, I mostly want to understand your story, what brought you in, and what you're actually hoping to change. From there we set clear, meaningful goals together and build a plan that fits your life rather than one I've decided on in advance. I try to stay culturally humble in that process, which for me means honoring where you come from and the experiences that shaped you, and never assuming I already know what any of that means to you.

My aim is for you to feel genuinely heard and respected the whole way through, not just at the start. I work in English, and I'm comfortable across a range of concerns that bring people to therapy.

Reach out when you're ready to begin the conversation.

I trained as a counselor, and I mostly work with adults, including older adults, who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and the harder questions about faith, identity, and what gives their life meaning. Over more than nine years across telehealth, outpatient, school-based, and integrated care, I've come to enjoy the people who want to understand their patterns and also make room for deeper reflection on their values. I'm also an ordained minister, so if you're someone exploring where mental health and spirituality meet, that's a conversation I can hold thoughtfully rather than steer.

My approach is collaborative and practical. I lean on evidence-based tools like CBT and trauma-informed care, and I keep an eye on how things are actually going rather than assuming a plan is working. Our first session is mostly me getting to know your story, what's brought you here, and what you're hoping will be different. From there we build something personalized: insight into the patterns, coping strategies you can use between sessions, and healthier ways of relating to the people in your life. When it's meaningful to you, we make space for faith or the search for meaning too, but only when you want that.

I hold space for emotional healing and for the questions underneath it, and I'll check in regularly to make sure we're still headed where you want to go. Reach out when you're ready to start.

Most of my work as a therapist is with individuals and couples working through anxiety, depression, grief, and the kind of stress that builds up from work and family life. A lot of what I see comes down to transitions, the moments when someone's usual footing shifts and they're trying to find a new one. I also work with adolescents and older adults, so the range of stories I hear is wide, and I like that.

My style is collaborative and goal-oriented. I do a fair amount of compassionate listening, but I'm also practical, and I care about giving you something you can actually use once you leave the room. In a first session, I want to hear your story, what's weighing on you right now, and what you're hoping therapy can change. From there we shape a plan that fits you, which might mean skill-building, noticing patterns you hadn't named before, and coping strategies you can try between our conversations. I check in regularly on how things are going and adjust as your needs shift, because therapy shouldn't stay frozen while your life keeps moving.

What matters to me is that the work stays connected to your own values and strengths, not some generic idea of progress.

Deciding to start is often the hardest part. If you've gotten this far in reading, you've already begun turning toward something, and I'd be glad to help you take the next step.

I check in regularly on how things are going and adjust as your needs shift, because therapy shouldn't stay frozen while your life keeps moving.

What matters to me is that the work stays connected to your own values and strengths, not some generic idea of progress.

Deciding to start is often the hardest part. If you've gotten this far in reading, you've already begun turning toward something, and I'd be glad to help you take the next step.

As a therapist, I work mostly with adults navigating the moments when things feel overwhelming or uncertain, whether that's anxiety, depression, the aftermath of trauma, ongoing stress, or a major life transition that has knocked things off balance. Over more than 15 years, I've practiced in hospitals, crisis services, correctional mental health programs, and community treatment centers, and I spent time in leadership and clinical roles within the VA healthcare system, where I supervised social workers and helped strengthen mental health and suicide prevention services. That range taught me how many different shapes distress can take, and how differently people arrive at the decision to ask for help.

I know reaching out can be hard, so I try to keep therapy collaborative and genuine rather than overly clinical or intimidating. Early sessions are less about assessment for its own sake and more about getting an honest picture of what you're dealing with, without you having to package it neatly first. From there, we work together to explore what's going on, build some insight into it, and put together practical coping strategies you can actually use in daily life. My aim is a working relationship steady enough that you can be honest about your experiences, including the parts that are hard to say out loud.

If that fits what you're looking for, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a therapist, and over the past 25 years I've worked with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, mood and anxiety concerns, hard life transitions, and the kind of complicated stress that piles up faster than you can sort through it. My background spans outpatient, residential, and integrated care, along with clinical supervision and behavioral health leadership, so I've seen how many different shapes distress can take and how differently people need to be met in it.

I tend to be calm, steady, and pretty relatable, and I'm not afraid to let a little humor into the room when it fits. Early on, my focus is on building a real working relationship: getting to know your history, what's bringing you in, and what you actually want out of this. From there I put together a plan that reflects your values rather than a generic protocol. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence, and I lean on insight, emotional safety, and practical tools you can use between sessions. I check in often and adjust as we go, because what helps in month one isn't always what helps in month six. Honesty and transparency matter to me; I'd rather we name what's working and what isn't than pretend a plan is fine when it isn't.

Curious whether the two of us would be a good fit? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor with more than seventeen years in this field, and my experience runs across mood and bipolar disorders, anxiety, psychosis, spectrum disorders, trauma, and the hard turns life takes that don't fit neatly into any diagnosis. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families of very different backgrounds and circumstances, and I've done that work in a lot of places: people's own homes, shelters, community programs, medical facilities, and both outpatient and inpatient settings. That range taught me to pay close attention to context, because who someone is can't be separated from where they live, what they carry, and the culture that shaped them.

My foundation is humanistic and psychodynamic. Early on, I'm most concerned with helping you settle into the counseling space and find the courage to explore, integrate, and nurture your true self rather than the version you think you're supposed to present. As we go, I draw on cognitive and behavioral tools, solution-focused work, and systemic and multicultural approaches when they fit the goals you set. Expect a first conversation that moves at a human pace, with real questions about your history and honest talk about what you want to be different.

I hold a doctorate in mental health supervision and education, so thinking carefully about how care is actually delivered matters to me. Curious whether this way of working would suit you? A first visit is where we find out.

I'm a therapist who focuses on adults navigating the kind of stress, trauma, and life transitions that don't resolve on their own. Over the last 30 years, I've worked across a wide range of settings: hospital and health systems, emergency rooms and psychiatric screening centers, and school- and community-based outpatient programs. That range taught me how to sit with people in the middle of a crisis and how to walk alongside them through the slower work that comes afterward. Along the way I've supervised social work students and served as a clinical director in community mental health, but what I keep coming back to is the one-on-one work with the person in front of me.

My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in the belief that care should fit around your life, not the other way around. I draw on acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness within a wellness-based frame, and I lean on CBT tools where they help. Early sessions tend to be about getting the full picture, your history, what's weighing on you, and what you actually want to be different, so we can decide together where to put our energy. I'll be straightforward with you, and I'll expect us to make those decisions as partners.

If that fits what you're after, reach out and we'll start with a conversation and shape the plan from there.

I'm a therapist who has spent over a decade in Northern Colorado working alongside people navigating trauma, substance use, mood disorders, anxiety, and the family conflict that so often tangles up with all of it. A lot of my career has been in the harder rooms: residential care for high-risk youth, inpatient psychiatric settings, intensive outpatient programs for mental health and recovery. I've sat with adolescents and adults at some of their lowest points, and I've learned that lasting change usually starts with getting honest about what's underneath the behavior, not just the behavior itself.

I lean on approaches like DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and recovery-oriented care, but I don't run anyone through a formula. I take a strengths-based approach, tailoring what we do to who you actually are, with the goal of helping you build a life worth living. Early on, I care about building real rapport and getting clear on where we're headed together. Sessions with me tend to be structured but upbeat: kind, direct, and grounded enough that you can explore your past and present selves without feeling exposed. I'll respect your autonomy every step of the way.

Reaching out for help takes more nerve than most people give themselves credit for. If you've gotten this far, you've already done the hardest part, and I'd be honored to take the next step with you.

I trained as a therapist, and I mostly work with adults navigating substance use alongside the mental health challenges that so often travel with it: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and shifts in mood that are hard to name on your own. Integrated care has been my focus for years, first in a setting where I sat with people managing both recovery and their emotional lives at the same time, and more recently in private practice, where I've worked with clients entirely through telehealth.

The methods I lean on tend to be practical. I draw on cognitive therapy, motivational enhancement, and logotherapy, which is really about helping you make sense of what's weighing on you and where you want to go next. In our early sessions, I'll ask a lot of questions about the stressors in front of you right now, less to catalog symptoms than to understand how they're actually landing in your daily life. I try to be honest and direct, and I'd rather we figure things out together than hand you a plan you didn't help build.

When medication is part of the picture, I've found that working closely with a physician keeps you more engaged in the therapy itself, and that partnership tends to make the whole thing hold together better.

If you're tired of managing recovery and everything underneath it by yourself, reach out and let's talk about where to start.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in talk therapy for adults who are living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or the quieter struggles that don't always have a name: strained relationships, a shaky sense of self-worth, the feeling that you're just going through the motions. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and much of my career has been spent with people navigating serious, persistent, and sometimes complicated experiences, from community mental health work to assessing risk and providing supportive therapy in a county jail. I don't take a one-size approach. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology, and I fit the work to the person sitting in front of me rather than the other way around.

People tell me I'm easy to talk to, and that matters to me. In a session, my aim is for you to feel able to say the things you don't usually say out loud, without bracing for judgment. My focus is practical: helping you build skills to manage your symptoms and get back to living, imperfections and all. When medication is part of the picture, I work alongside your psychiatrist so the whole plan holds together rather than pulling in different directions.

Curious whether the way I work would fit what you're looking for? A first visit is a good place to find out.

I've spent years as a therapist working across inpatient and outpatient settings, and I see individuals, couples, families, and groups. Some of the people I work best with are children, teenagers, and older adults navigating change, and I've learned that the same approach rarely fits two people the same way. As an Army brat, a combat veteran, and a retired military spouse, I've lived in a lot of places and sat with a lot of different life experiences, and I think that history shapes how I listen.

My style is eclectic, meaning I adjust to what's actually in front of me rather than running everyone through the same protocol. I treat therapy as a joint effort, and I genuinely mean that: you're the expert on your own experience, and progress tends to come from shared commitment and a little courage on both sides. I start with a thorough assessment so I understand your background, your needs, and where you want to go. From there I keep the dialogue open, including between sessions, and I make sure you're part of building the plan, not just receiving it. When it fits, I draw on training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR.

Our first conversation is mostly me asking questions and getting to know how you got here. There's no rush to this. Reach out when the timing feels right for you.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is depression, anxiety, substance use, and the aftereffects of trauma. My background sits at the intersection of mental health counseling and addictions work, and much of how I practice comes from asking how the brain and the autonomic nervous system respond when someone has been through more than their body knew how to hold. I lean on trauma-focused methods like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Polyvagal-informed and mindfulness-based strategies, alongside CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. But those are tools, not the point. The point is helping you understand the cyclical patterns of thought and emotion that shape how you feel, so you're not at their mercy.

I care about body awareness, psychoeducation, and self-advocacy, because I want you to leave therapy able to steer it yourself. Early sessions are less about intervention and more about getting my bearings: what you're up against, what you actually want, and what a personalized path forward looks like. I'll be direct with you, and I'll expect us to work as partners, with real motivation and direction driving the process.

I'm not only interested in getting you to stable ground. I want to see you keep growing into the person you recognize as authentically yourself, whether you're a younger adult or someone doing this work later in life.

Reaching out takes something. If you've made it to the end of this, you've already started.

My work as a therapist centers on substance use disorders and the conditions that often travel alongside them: OCD, anxiety, and major depression. Over more than 23 years across outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth settings, I've spent a lot of time with people who are ready to change something but want more than encouragement. They want practical tools and a clear sense of whether those tools are actually working.

I tend to be structured. I start with a thorough assessment so we can name your goals plainly and build a treatment plan that fits them, then we track progress as we go rather than guessing at it. Much of what I do draws on evidence-based approaches like CBT, ERP for OCD, HRT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapies, and I'll often ask you to practice specific skills between sessions. Expect accountability from me; expect me to name what I'm seeing honestly, and to adjust when something isn't landing. When it helps, I coordinate with the other people involved in your care.

A typical session is focused work. We check in on what you tried since we last met, sort out what got in the way, and decide what to aim at next. I'm compassionate about the difficulty of that and direct about the effort it takes.

If this fits what you're after, I'm happy to talk.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the mental health of older adults, and I've spent more than twelve years working alongside people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of chronic illness. Over the years I've sat with folks from a lot of different walks of life, including Veterans and caregivers, and I've learned that no two people arrive for the same reason or need the same thing.

I'd rather understand what actually matters to you than run through a checklist. So I start by learning what you care about and what's been getting in the way of feeling like yourself. From there, we figure things out together, at a pace that works for you. I'm honest and down to earth, and I try to bring some creativity into the room so the work feels practical rather than clinical. When it's useful, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and mindfulness to build tools you can actually use. People tend to tell me I'm easy to talk to, and I take that as a good sign that they feel heard.

My hope is to help you reconnect with some balance, purpose, and even joy, and to support real, lasting change along the way. Reach out when you're ready to start that work.

My work as a therapist centers on individual talk therapy with young adults and adults, though I also see children, teens, and older adults when it's a good fit. Life has a way of shifting our focus, sometimes without warning, and much of what I do is help people find their footing again when that happens. I've worked across a range of outpatient settings over the years, from ACTT services to substance use groups to one-on-one therapy, and each of those settings taught me something about how differently people arrive at the same door.

I think of therapy as a shared effort rather than something I do to you. That means I check in regularly to make sure the work still feels useful, and I adjust when it doesn't. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, and I'll balance directive strategies with more open, exploratory conversation depending on what actually lands with you. Early on, expect a first session where you can share your story at your own pace, name what you'd like to work toward, and leave with a clearer sense of what therapy with me will feel like.

Honoring different perspectives matters to me, and so does making sure you feel respected and genuinely heard in the room. If the challenges in front of you have started crowding out everything else, let's talk about how to make room for you again.

I'm a therapist who focuses on talk therapy for adults, and I've spent more than 20 years doing this work across inpatient units, outpatient clinics, emergency and hospital settings, and community mental health, including a stretch managing the social services department at a crisis stabilization facility. That range has taught me that no concern is too large or too small to bring into therapy.

Starting counseling can feel intimidating, and I don't take that lightly. I tend to work at your pace, not mine, and I know that talking through personal history can be hard, so we go as slowly as you need. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I pull from behavioral work, solution-focused and strength-based methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy depending on what fits you. I'm also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT. My own multicultural background shapes how I show up: I want to understand and honor the experiences and culture you're bringing into the room.

Our first appointment is really about building trust and figuring out how the two of us can work together. I'll lay out a clear sense of what to expect, and I want your questions. Collaboration matters to me at every step, so nothing about the plan happens without you weighing in.

Curious whether we'd fit? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

I'm a therapist who focuses on talk therapy for adults, and I've spent more than fifteen years in the field, working across both inpatient and outpatient settings. Over that time I've sat with people at their most acute and with people quietly trying to make sense of a life that looks fine on paper but doesn't feel that way. I see adults across the age range, including older adults navigating the shifts that come later in life.

I like to spend real time understanding where someone comes from. Their history, their background, the patterns that keep showing up. I find that root concerns rarely announce themselves in the first sentence, so I ask questions and I listen for what's underneath. My work draws on CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, but I lean on them as tools rather than scripts. Early on, I do a thorough assessment of your history, your current concerns, your strengths, and what you actually want out of this. From there we set specific goals together and adjust the approach as things move.

I'm not the kind of therapist who hands you answers. I offer honest, thoughtful feedback and help you understand your own diagnosis well enough to manage the day to day, so you're the one arriving at solutions. You'll feel heard and respected in the room, not talked at.

There's no rush to any of this. When you're ready to begin, I'll be here.

Most of my work as a therapist is with people carrying the weight of trauma, PTSD, and grief, along with adults navigating postpartum struggles, ADHD, and the particular pressures that come with being LGBTQ+. I've worked across non-profits, schools, academic settings, and private practice, and I especially connect with clients looking for care that pays attention to culture, context, and the full story behind what brought them in. I see adolescents, children, and adults, and I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.

My approach draws on narrative counseling and Internal Family Systems, or "parts" work, to help people re-story their experiences rather than feel defined by them. I also use EFT Tapping for trauma, anxiety, depression, and pain. I work from the belief that you're the one who knows your own life best, so I lean on Motivational Interviewing and harm reduction to support real self-determination rather than hand you a prescribed path.

A first session usually starts with me getting clear on what brought you here and beginning to build a relationship worth trusting. From there we set goals that are concrete and achievable, and I'll be transparent with you as we shape a plan that fits your strengths and your pace. I value open communication and I'll name what I'm noticing rather than keep it to myself.

Bring what's been sitting with you to a first visit, and we'll begin sorting through it together.

Most of my work as a therapist is with adults across a wide stretch of life, from young adulthood through the senior years. I'm a clinical trauma counselor, and over the years I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which means I'm comfortable with crisis intervention and risk assessment as well as steadier, week-to-week work. I also see couples and families, and I've provided telehealth since 2017. This is a judgment-free practice for everyone who comes to me, including people in poly relationships.

My style is warm and conversational, and it's grounded in wellness. I'll challenge you at times, but I do it in a supportive, non-confrontational way, never to put you on the spot. You set the goals; my job is to guide, ask questions, and explore alongside you. Our first session is mostly about your history, your life experiences, and any counseling you've done before, so I understand where you're coming from before we shape a plan together. I like attainable goals and steady progress, the kind where you feel just a bit more well today than you did in past days. I check in regularly about how our work is going, because your safety, comfort, and sense of fit matter to me, and I genuinely want your feedback.

If steady, collaborative progress toward feeling more well sounds like the pace you're after, reach out and let's talk.
