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.

Most of my work as a therapist, over the last fifteen years, has been with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the tangle of relationships and co-occurring struggles that rarely come one at a time. I've also spent a lot of time alongside parents raising kids on the Autism Spectrum, which asks its own kind of patience and reworking of expectations. I've practiced across telehealth, community mental health, and integrated care, so I've seen how differently support has to fit depending on where someone is in their life.

I'll start by getting to know your story: what's hard right now, sure, but also what you're good at and where you actually want to be headed. From there we build a plan that lines up with what matters to you, not a generic checklist. My style is both supportive and active. I want you to feel better, and I also want you to walk away with practical tools you can use on a Tuesday afternoon. Depending on the day, a session might involve skill-building, working through emotions, some mindfulness, or slower insight work, and I lean on Motivational Interviewing when change needs to come from you rather than from me pushing. We check on progress as we go and adjust when something isn't landing.

I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I offer flexible telehealth so care stays consistent. The first step is just a conversation, and we'll sort out the direction together from there.

I'm a therapist, and much of my work centers on talk therapy with adults and older adults, including people well into their later years who are navigating change, loss, or questions they haven't had space to sort through out loud. I've practiced in both inpatient and outpatient settings, so I've sat with people across a wide span of needs and levels of care, from acute moments to steadier, ongoing work.

I put a lot of weight on open communication. I'd rather we talk plainly about what's working and what isn't than keep things polite and vague. We usually start with a thorough look at your background, your concerns, and what you're actually hoping to get out of this, and from there we set goals that are realistic rather than aspirational. I take a strengths-based approach, which means I'm paying attention to what you already do well and building from it, not just cataloging what's wrong.

Sessions tend to be practical and flexible. We work on coping skills, on building insight into patterns you may not have named yet, and we check in honestly on progress so you can feel where things are moving. I want the room to feel like a place where you can say the hard thing without bracing for judgment.

If that fits what you're after, get in touch and we'll take it from there.

My work as a therapist centers on adults, from those just starting out to older patients navigating later life, who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and often more than one thing at once. Over the past five-plus years, I've worked across outpatient, inpatient, and substance use settings, which taught me that co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns rarely sort themselves into neat categories. I treat them together, not as separate problems.

I'm practical and goal-oriented. I like to start by understanding your history and what you actually want to change, then we define goals that mean something to you rather than ones that just look good on a treatment plan. My approach draws on CBT, solution-focused therapy, and DBT-informed skills, but the through-line is skills you can use between sessions, not just talk in the room. Early on, a session with me looks like naming the patterns that keep repeating, then building concrete coping strategies to interrupt them. I value consistency and accountability, and I track progress openly so we both know whether what we're doing is working. If it isn't, we adjust.

I'll be straightforward with you, and I expect us to do the work as a team, coordinating with the rest of your care when that helps.

Bring what's been getting in your way to a first visit, and we'll map out where to start together.

As a therapist specializing in addictions, I work mostly with adults who are wrestling with substance use, and often with the anxiety, depression, or major life changes that tend to travel alongside it. Some of the people I see have been struggling for years; others are in the middle of a transition that has knocked them off balance and left them looking for steadier ground. Wherever you're starting from, I want to understand your story before we talk about changing any part of it.

I tend to be warm and direct in equal measure. I care a lot about trust and about not passing judgment, because I've found that people open up when they feel genuinely heard rather than assessed. Early on, I'll ask about your history, your goals, and what's actually worrying you, and we'll go at a pace that feels comfortable to you instead of one I've decided in advance. From there we build practical strategies together, drawing on evidence-based approaches, and we adjust them as your life shifts. My aim is steady, honest progress, not a quick fix.

I'm licensed to provide remote care, which means we can do this work from wherever you feel most at ease.

Deciding to look for a counselor takes real effort, and getting this far says something about your readiness. When you're ready to start, I'll be here to begin the conversation with you.

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.

I'm a therapist who has spent years working across outpatient and in-home family settings, and much of that work has moved to telehealth. I see adults and older adults who are contending with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, the emotional weight of chronic illness, or family conflict that has worn down the people involved. Before this, I taught social work, and that instinct toward mentorship and growth still shapes how I sit with people: I want you to leave with something you can actually use.

My style is compassionate but direct. I'll support you, and I'll also offer a gentle challenge when I think it will move things forward. I start by understanding your story, your strengths, and what you're hoping to change, then we build a treatment plan around your goals rather than a generic one. Sessions tend to have a rhythm: we check in, work on a concrete skill, and look at how things have actually gone since we last spoke. I draw on CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, always through a strengths-based, culturally aware lens, and I adjust the goals as your life shifts.

What matters most to me is open, honest communication, so you feel understood rather than managed. If you're ready to work on something and want a partner who will be both steady and straight with you, the first step is simply a conversation, and we'll figure out the path 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 trained as a therapist, and I mostly work with adults and older adults who want a space to be themselves without smoothing over the hard parts. Over the years I've worked with veterans, adolescents, older folks, and the LGBTQIA+ community, and what carries across all of them is a simple thing: people want to feel seen, heard, and supported. That's where I start.

My sessions are relaxed. There's room for real conversation, and honestly, there's room for laughter too. I don't think therapy has to be solemn to be serious. I lean on approaches like CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and I keep the work trauma-informed and culturally aware, so we're not pretending your context doesn't matter. First, I want to hear your story. Then we figure out together what actually matters to you and what you'd like to be different.

I'll offer support, and I'll also gently push where I think growth is waiting. I bring practical tools you can use in daily life, and I check in on how things are landing so we can adjust as we go. My hope is that you walk out feeling more confident, more resilient, and more able to handle things on your own.

Curious whether the two of us would click? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

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 trained as a therapist, and I mostly work with adults and older adults who want a space to be themselves without smoothing over the hard parts. Over the years I've worked with veterans, adolescents, older folks, and the LGBTQIA+ community, and what carries across all of them is a simple thing: people want to feel seen, heard, and supported. That's where I start.

My sessions are relaxed. There's room for real conversation, and honestly, there's room for laughter too. I don't think therapy has to be solemn to be serious. I lean on approaches like CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and I keep the work trauma-informed and culturally aware, so we're not pretending your context doesn't matter. First, I want to hear your story. Then we figure out together what actually matters to you and what you'd like to be different.

I'll offer support, and I'll also gently push where I think growth is waiting. I bring practical tools you can use in daily life, and I check in on how things are landing so we can adjust as we go. My hope is that you walk out feeling more confident, more resilient, and more able to handle things on your own.

Curious whether the two of us would click? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

I'm a therapist specializing in stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and the kind of adjustment that comes with a life change you didn't necessarily choose. Over 26 years of practice, I've sat with adults across a wide span of ages, from people early in their working lives to those well into their sixties and beyond, who arrive feeling stuck, worn down, or short on the motivation they used to count on.

My approach isn't one-size-fits-all. Some people do best when we look at the thought patterns behind the feelings, so we work in a cognitive behavioral direction. Others need room to be heard without me steering, and I follow their lead. When someone feels pulled in two directions about a change, I lean into motivational interviewing; when the goal is practical and near-term, I keep us solution-focused. Mindfulness threads through much of it. In a first session, expect me to ask a lot of questions and listen closely before we settle on where to start, so the plan actually fits the person in front of me rather than a diagnosis.

I'm honest, I move at a pace that respects where you are, and I treat the work as something we build together. After this many years, I still find each person's situation genuinely different, and I don't pretend otherwise.

Reach out when you're ready to start.

I'm a therapist with more than two decades in the counseling field, and my path here has been anything but straight. I've taught special education, instructed psychology, run programs as an executive director, and worked as a lead therapist in outpatient drug treatment, plus years in vocational rehabilitation and disability services. All of that shapes how I sit with people now. I see children, teens, and adults, and I'm at ease with folks who've bounced through a few systems and are ready for something that actually sticks.

I'd describe myself as highly structured but pretty comical about it. Therapy with me has a rhythm: each month, we set three short-term goals, look back at what you actually accomplished, and name a few things you're grateful for. That combination keeps us honest and keeps momentum going. In a first session I want to hear why you're here, what kinds of approaches have or haven't worked for you, and how often you'd like to meet. Expect homework and clear follow-up points, drawn from cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and trauma-focused work, depending on what fits you.

I'm most useful to people who are genuinely ready to make lasting change, and I'll match your effort with mine. There's no clock on getting there. When you feel ready to begin, I'll be here.

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 therapist, and most of what I see is adults and kids working through ADHD, anxiety, depression, and the messy stretches of life that don't come with instructions. Over nearly a decade in behavioral health, medical, educational, and community settings, I've spent a lot of my time on the practical side of things: how do you actually get through the day when your focus won't cooperate, or when everything feels like too much at once?

My approach is down-to-earth. I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, but what that really translates to in a session is us sorting through what's genuinely getting in your way and building real-world tools you can use. I care a lot about executive functioning, coping strategies, and the small habits that quietly reduce overwhelm over time. As a certified case manager, I can also help you connect the dots between therapy and the other supports in your life. Expect me to be authentic and respectful, and to tailor what we do to how you actually live, not to a template.

I work with both children and adults, so whether you're figuring this out for yourself or for a kid who's struggling, there's room for that here.

Deciding to look for a therapist takes something. If you've made it this far, you've already started the work; I'd be glad to help you take the next part.

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 has spent years treating stress, anxiety, family conflict, and the tangled interpersonal knots that come with them. I earned my Master's in Social Work from New York University and have practiced since 2013 across settings that shaped how I work, including a community mental health clinic, an outpatient hospital program, and a nonprofit devoted to parent-child psychotherapy. That last one taught me a lot about parenting struggles and the relationships that hold families together or pull them apart. I see adults across the lifespan, from younger adults sorting out early adulthood to older adults navigating later chapters.

Here's how I think about the work: you're the expert of your own story. My job is to notice your strengths and build on them, not to hand you a one-size-fits-all plan. Early on, I'm listening for what actually matters to you, then we shape goals and strategies around your specific situation rather than a template. I take a hands-on, encouraging approach, and I'll be direct with you when it helps. Being genuinely seen, heard, and understood is the foundation everything else grows from.

My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling motivated and clearer about the change you want, moving toward a life that feels more whole and fulfilling. Reach out when you're ready to start that work together.

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'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 people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the kind of insomnia that makes everything else harder to manage. I've worked in both mental health and substance use settings since 2016, with a range of people at very different points in their lives, from younger adults sorting out who they want to be to older adults reckoning with change and loss. Whatever brings you in, I want to understand the full picture, not just the symptom on the surface.

My approach is eclectic and trauma-focused. I draw on Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I fold in somatic work because I think the mind and body are having a conversation whether we listen or not. Early on, expect me to ask questions and actually sit with your answers rather than rushing toward a fix. I treat our work as genuinely collaborative, which to me means naming the barriers standing between you and your own well-being, then figuring out how to move through them together. I'll be direct with you, and I'll expect us to set the pace as we go.

Curious whether this is the right kind of support for what you're facing right now? That's exactly the conversation a first visit is for.

I'm a therapist who focuses on the concerns that touch nearly every corner of someone's life: trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, intimate partner violence, and the strain that shows up in relationships and marriages. Over the years I've worked in just about every setting you can name, from inpatient units and emergency departments to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, schools, and community-based work. That range has taught me that people arrive at very different points, and the work has to fit the person in front of me.

I don't see my job as needing to save the world or empower anyone. I think that framing gets it backward. What I do is work alongside you to find the tools you already carry and the resources in your community, and then use both to move toward what you actually want. Practically, that means we start by getting honest about the root of what's going on rather than only managing the surface, then build a plan that's specific to you and shows real, measurable progress. I lean on approaches like CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work, and I keep care culturally informed because context matters.

Reaching out and putting words to what's been hard is not a small thing. If you've gotten this far, you've already started the part most people find hardest, and I'd be glad to pick it up with you from there.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see runs from adjustment struggles, when life throws a new circumstance at someone and they're not sure how to steady themselves, to depression, anxiety, and trauma. I've been doing this work for more than two decades now, across a wide range of ages, from teenagers to adults to folks well into their later years.

I'm eclectic in how I work, and I mean that plainly: people are different, and they need a style that actually fits them, not one I've decided on in advance. So depending on who's in front of me, I might draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, mindfulness, DBT, narrative, or something else entirely. What that looks like early on is a lot of me learning how you think and what has and hasn't worked before, so we're not repeating dead ends.

I ask for your feedback often, and I mean it. If something isn't landing, I'd rather know than keep going out of politeness; adjusting the approach is how the outcomes get better. My aim is straightforward, which is to help you get to your own full potential, whatever that looks like for you rather than for me.

Deciding to talk to someone takes something, and following through on it takes more. If you've gotten this far, you've already done the hard part. When you're ready, I'll be glad to start that conversation with you.

I trained as a licensed professional counselor, and I mostly work with people navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, abuse, and the kind of life transitions that leave things feeling out of balance. Over more than 15 years I've worked in schools, private practice, residential facilities, and even crime scene crisis counseling, so I've sat with a wide range of situations. A lot of the folks I connect with are teachers, first responders, and young parents, along with anyone who just wants to be seen as who they truly are rather than the role they're expected to play.

I don't run people through a formula. I believe everyone is different, so I build the work around the individual in front of me. In practice, that means we talk plainly about what's actually going on, and I'll draw on tools that fit you, whether that's cognitive behavioral work, solution focused approaches, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, or mindfulness. A first conversation with me tends to be steady and unhurried; I'm listening for what matters to you and paying attention to the parts you might not say outright. I'd rather move at a pace that feels honest than push toward tidy answers.

Reaching out for help takes more than most people give themselves credit for. If you've made it this far, you've already started the harder part, and I'm here when you're ready to keep going.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma in its many forms, and I've spent more than a decade in clinical practice. A lot of the people I sit with have lived through intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or the particular kind of trauma that comes from a serious medical or physical health problem. Some are working through substance use alongside all of that. Whatever brought you in, I want the plan we build to be thoughtful and to actually match what you need, not a template I hand every person who walks through the door.

My approach is trauma informed, culturally aware, and centered on you. I lean on training in EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing, and I choose the tool that fits the person rather than the other way around. In session, I'll encourage you to notice your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present moment, and to widen your own sense of freedom and well-being from there. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and I bring that same curiosity into the room with you.

I teach undergraduate and graduate social work students here in Colorado Springs because staying rooted in my local community matters to me. Mostly, I want to help you recognize your own strengths and hold some compassion for yourself as you go.

The first meeting is just a conversation about what you're facing; we sort out the direction together once I understand it.

I'm a therapist with experience helping adults and older adults work through life's challenges by building on what's already strong in them. My background is a little unusual for talk therapy. Over the years I've worked as a primary, family, adventure, equine, crisis, and expressive arts therapist, across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as private practice, and that range shapes how I show up in a session. I'm trained in Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, and play therapy, and I hold certifications in life coaching and EAGALA, but I don't lead with a technique. I lead with you.

I tend to be sensitive, direct, and genuine, and I try to keep judgment out of the room entirely. No single method fits every person, so I tailor each session and treatment plan to your particular strengths and goals, drawing on solution-focused work, CBT, DBT, psychoeducation, IFS, and expressive arts as they fit. Early on, a session usually feels like getting oriented together: I want to understand what you're up against, what's worked before, and what you actually want to move toward, so we're building on real footing rather than a checklist.

My style is respectful and meant to leave you feeling more capable, not more managed. Reach out when you're ready to start that work together.

I'm a therapist with experience treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, and the kind of relationship strain and life transitions that leave people unsure of their next step. I've worked with adolescents and adults across nonprofit organizations, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I'm licensed in both Michigan and South Carolina. A lot of the people I sit with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by change they didn't choose, and they're looking for a way to see their situation differently.

My approach is solution focused and practical. I draw on Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques, but I tailor what we do to you rather than running you through a formula. I'll follow your lead and move at the pace that fits you, not the one I think you should be at. A first session is really about getting a clear picture of what's happening in your life and what you'd like to be different, so we know where to start. I aim to be compassionate and collaborative without losing sight of the goal, which is helping you gain a new perspective and move toward a future that feels hopeful and even a little exciting again.

Bring whatever's been weighing on you to that first visit, and we'll start sorting through it together.

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.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on helping adults and older adults address the emotional pain, psychological turmoil, and physical challenges that show up in real life. Over decades of work, I've been part of nearly every corner of mental health care, from crisis situations to long-term rehabilitation, and I've built a wide network of community connections and resources I can draw on to help extend someone's support beyond our sessions. As a Christian counselor, I believe people need mind, body, and spirit in balance, and I'll bring Christ-centered counseling into the work for those who want it.

I specialize in straightforwardness. I lean heavily on the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, though I'll also draw on person-centered and solution-focused approaches depending on what fits. Early on, I'll ask what you're hoping to accomplish, and we'll talk openly about how we work together and what each clinical step is meant to do. Getting to the heart of a problem matters to me, but so does honoring your judgment about what's most important to address first. You set the target goals; my job is to help you get there with support, care, and honesty.

I've sat with people through anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and workplace strain, faith crises, and hard seasons of adjustment. Bring the concern that's on your mind to a first visit, and we'll work out together where to begin.

I'm a therapist who focuses on talk therapy for adolescents and adults, and I've worked across nearly every setting a person might land in: intensive inpatient care, schools, and a range of outpatient programs. That range has taught me something simple but easy to forget in this field, which is that no two people arrive with the same story. The care you get should reflect who you actually are, not a template someone applied to you.

I lean on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my foundation, and I bring in mindfulness and solution-focused work depending on what fits you. Early on, we'll spend time naming what you actually want out of this, then set therapeutic goals together so the work has direction. I'll ask questions, I'll listen closely, and I'll keep studying and researching between sessions because I don't think good care sits still. My aim is to help you grow into the best version of yourself, at a pace that feels workable rather than rushed.

Outside of the office, I garden, read, and spend as much time in nature as I can, so I understand the value of stepping back and tending to something over time. Therapy is a bit like that too.

Reaching out for the first time takes some nerve. If you've gotten this far and something here resonates, that curiosity is worth following.

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.

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, and much of what I see is anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disorders, and the kind of low self-esteem that quietly shapes how people move through their days. I've worked in mental health since 2013, and along the way I've spent a lot of that time with populations that don't always have easy access to care: homeless veterans, Native American communities, women, LGBTQIA clients, and people living in rural or remote areas where providers are scarce. I'm also trained in geriatrics, and I have a particular fondness for working with adults over 65. That stage of life deserves more thoughtful attention than it usually gets.

Because I'm trained across several approaches, including CBT, CBT for insomnia, DBT, mindfulness-based work, and treatment for prolonged grief, I'm able to shape therapy around the actual person in front of me rather than forcing everyone through the same door. A session with me tends to be practical and grounded; I'll ask questions, we'll figure out what's really getting in your way, and we'll decide together where to put the effort. I teach and supervise newer clinicians too, which keeps me honest about the craft.

If sleep, worry, grief, or the sense that you've faded into the background has been wearing on you, I'd be glad to sit down and sort through it with you.

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 with a particular focus on helping adolescents, teens, and adults work through the moments where life stops feeling manageable. Over the years, in both education settings and private practice, I've sat with individuals, couples, and families facing depression, anxiety, shaky self-esteem, mood changes, career shifts, and the kind of major life transitions that leave you unsure of your footing. Along the way I trained and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Shame-Informed Therapy, and the treatment of eating disorders, so I have a range of tools to draw from depending on what's actually in front of us.

My approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered work, but I'm less interested in labeling my method than in figuring out what fits you. Early sessions are practical: I want to understand what's been weighing on you, what you've already tried, and where you'd like to end up. From there we identify the tools that give you real traction, and we go at a pace that respects where you are rather than rushing the process.

I tend to be honest and direct, and I believe that with the right support, many of the obstacles in front of you become navigable rather than permanent. If you think we might be a good fit, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a therapist, and over more than 30 years I've worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults on addictions, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, self-harm, grief, and eating disorders. I've done this work in a lot of settings: individual, couple, family, and group therapy, along with intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and inpatient groups for people managing co-occurring disorders. For over a decade I also taught psychology and sociology in high schools, colleges, and correctional facilities, which taught me to talk with people wherever they happen to be in life.

I want you to feel heard, valued, and respected, and I put a lot of weight on open communication and mutual trust. Change tends to begin with understanding and acceptance, so early on I spend time getting to know your history, your strengths, and what actually matters to you before we shape a plan around it. You set the pace; I'll encourage you to share what feels most comfortable and meaningful, not what you think you're supposed to say. I draw on ACT, CBT, DBT, REBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work, and I bring compassion, some honesty, and a bit of humor along the way.

What I'm really after is helping you name your own goals and move toward them in a way that lasts. If that fits what you're looking for, I'd be happy to talk.

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.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on talk therapy for people moving through significant life changes, interpersonal struggles, and the kind of complex emotional challenges that don't resolve on their own. I've spent years practicing in both outpatient and residential treatment settings, and I completed my doctorate in psychology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, with specialized training in grief and trauma counseling. That background shapes how I sit with people who are grieving, in transition, or trying to make sense of what's shifted in their lives.

I work with adolescents and adults, and I start by asking about your best hopes for therapy. Before we build anything, I want to understand your history and what's actually weighing on you now. From there, we shape a plan that fits your goals, values, and your own sense of where you want to grow, and we adjust it over time as things change. A first session tends to feel less like an intake form and more like a real conversation about what brought you in and what you'd want to feel different.

I'm collaborative by nature, and I'd rather work alongside you than hand you a formula. My aim is a respectful space where you feel genuinely heard and where the work belongs to you.

Reach out when you're ready to start that conversation.

I'm a therapist specializing in talk therapy for individuals, teens, couples, and families. Over 26 years, I've worked across a lot of different clinical settings, both in person and through telehealth, and I'm licensed in 12 states, which has kept me close to one steady conviction: good behavioral health care should actually be reachable for the people who need it.

My sense is that meaningful change starts with feeling heard and understood, so that's where I begin. I like to talk things through at a pace that feels manageable to you, without rushing toward a fix before I understand what's really going on. I usually start with a comprehensive assessment that covers your personal history, what's bringing you in right now, and where you'd like things to head. From there, we set individualized goals together and build a practical plan I'll adjust as we go and as you make progress. I try to stay open and approachable in the room; trust, collaboration, and respect aren't slogans for me, they're the conditions that make the work possible.

Whether you're a teenager trying to make sense of things, a couple stuck in the same argument, or an adult who just wants a thoughtful person to think alongside, my door is open. When you're ready to start talking things through, I'll be here to listen and figure it out with you.
