Grief Therapists in Colorado

I am a board-certified Music Therapist and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience, serving clients across California and Colorado. My own journey informs my work: I grew up in California and built a successful business before transitioning my life to Colorado. I then spent two years as a digital nomad—traveling by car across the US and living abroad for 1.5 years—all while managing and growing my business. I understand how to maintain excellence while in motion, and I use an IFS-informed somatic and creative approach to help you find that same internal groundedness and freedom.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I have been in the mental health field for 35 years and have worked in many settings and with many issues throughout my career. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology, a masters in clinical social work and a masters in counseling. I am comfortable working with all populations and strive to meet my patients where they are in their process.

I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges for the past 30 years. It’s truly an honor to support people through difficult times and be part of their journey toward healing and growth. I’ve supported individuals working through trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain—often carrying pain they’ve held for a long time. Together, we begin a journey of healing and change, uncovering what’s been holding them back and building a path forward that feels meaningful, empowering, and aligned with who they truly are. My approach is warm and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to help you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. The work we do together can help you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

I was drawn to this work because I know the impact that support from others can have. At different points in my life, I have benefited from people who helped me face challenges, understand myself more clearly, and move through difficult seasons with more honesty and direction. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be to have someone help you feel less alone while also encouraging growth, accountability, and change. That shaped my desire to offer the same kind of support to others.

I’m Kristen Kelsey, Psy.D., a Clinical Psychologist based in Denver, Colorado area. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, insomnia, and the lasting effects of trauma. My work is rooted in the belief that therapy is not just about reducing symptoms—it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that stress, fear, or past experiences may have pushed into the background. In our work together, I’ll take a collaborative, grounded approach. You’ll bring your lived experience, your history, and your strengths; I’ll bring clinical expertise and a deep respect for the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll look at what’s getting in the way and build tools that will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I am Heather! I am here to join clients when they feel ready to explore challenges that may be affecting their emotional well-being, relationships, or daily life. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, attachment concerns, family conflict, and life transitions. I also support individuals and families navigating the unique stressors associated with the judicial system. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, improving relationships, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Did you know that geese take turns leading to maintain a steady flight? Therapy works much the same way as we navigate the path forward together. As an experienced social worker, I welcome adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities. I guide clients through life's transitions and anxieties, focusing on neurodivergence and disabilities, caregiving and parenting, relationships, aging, and grief and loss. Together, we will chart a course toward your goals while exploring the broader forces shaping your life. I am by your side to help you spread your wings and embrace new possibilities. Let's get you heading in the direction you envision.

You're not broken. Even though you feel anxious, or depressed, even distracted, the suffering will end. My goal is to help you find relief. My name is Kirt Baab, LCSW. I have been practicing psychotherapy and counseling since 1983. My practice focuses on using my training and experience to help people get out of the rut where they are stuck. In particular, I engage with people in ways that unlocks their greatest strengths and use those abilities to find relief. Most of us are unaware of how capable we are because we repeat what we know instead of learning something new. You'll find your meetings with me refreshing! I have helped patients change the way they look at themselves.

"Mend from heart" is the English translation of my counseling services dedicated to helping couples, families, and individuals address and overcome trauma, adverse events and situations in their lives with empathy, trust, and solution based counseling. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who takes a warm, collaborative, and practical approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted while also having the support and tools to move forward. My practice focuses on helping individuals, families, and couples better understand themselves and their relationships, navigate life’s challenges, and develop healthier patterns that support greater connection, confidence, and fulfillment. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be honest, explore what’s really going on, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado specializing in couples therapy, particularly couples caught in the pursue-withdraw cycle — one partner chasing the conversation, the other shutting down. I also work individually with men who go quiet during conflict. My approach is active and coaching-based: you'll practice new skills in session and bring real issues from your week so we can work them live. The goal is change you can actually feel, not just insight. I accept insurance for individuals. I only take private pay for couples counseling is $190 for 50 minute sessions.

I am a solution focused therapist. I work with clients to find solutions, that will move them toward healing. Homework, counseling activities and structured sessions are my specialty. Working with me will require effort but the outcome will be worth I provide individual therapy for individuals 18 and over and have been in the mental health field for 10 years. I love helping clients reach their goals.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel challenging, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change, personal growth, and a healthier, more fulfilling life. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals across the lifespan—from adolescents in residential settings to older adults in hospital settings—I believe every person has strengths, abilities, and the potential to move forward, even during life's most difficult moments. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support, understanding, and positive change. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, strengthening your relationship, working through family conflicts, or looking for guidance as a parent, you don't have to face these challenges alone. Together, we can explore new perspectives, improve communication, and find healthier ways to move forward. My approach to counseling is solution-focused, supportive, and collaborative. You are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you recognize your strengths, explore possibilities, and develop practical tools to overcome challenges and work toward the life and relationships you want. You deserve the opportunity to feel better, find balance, build resilience, and enjoy a more fulfilling life. You don't have to have all the answers before reaching out, and you don't have to navigate every challenge alone. Whether you're facing a difficult season, looking for a fresh perspective, or ready to make positive changes in your life or relationships, I welcome you to take that first step. Together, we can focus on your goals, build on your strengths, and move toward a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling future.

Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm a Licensed Addiction Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have worked in the field since 2011, primarily in substance treatment programs, jails, and with individuals struggling with serious mental illness. I began my private practice during the height of COVID-19 in May 2020. I specialize in addiction and relationships, focusing on boundaries, conflict, and relational dynamics. I have significant experience working with adults impacted by addiction and mental health issues, using therapy as a means to understand their experience and learn from it to enable purposeful movement forward.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience in crisis response, clinical assessment, and trauma-informed care. I work primarily with adults and adolescents (12+) navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). I believe therapy should help people become more confident in understanding themselves and responding to life's challenges. My goal isn't to provide all the answers, but to help clients leave with the perspective and a different way of navigating challenges. Before entering outpatient practice, I spent many years working in crisis services and involuntary treatment settings. That experience reinforced something I continue to believe deeply: people are often capable of far more change than they realize. Everyone has the capacity to get better and make positive changes. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious, reflective, and invested in their own growth. Many of my clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, first responders, and others balancing demanding lives while striving to live with greater purpose and intention. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I also understand firsthand both the strengths and challenges that can come with ADHD, and I enjoy helping clients build systems that work with their brains rather than against them.

I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are ready to stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start building a healthier relationship with themselves. You may find yourself questioning your worth, losing yourself in relationships or friendships, struggling to trust your own decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you know no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore where those patterns began, strengthen your self-trust, and create lasting change rooted in emotional safety and self-respect. My approach integrates attachment-informed, trauma-focused, and evidence-based therapy with practical tools that support meaningful change beyond our sessions. I believe healing involves the whole person, recognizing the impact of relationships, trauma, nervous system regulation, physical health, and life transitions on emotional wellbeing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, I also support clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, sexual trauma, religious shame, relationship transitions, and recovery from intimate partner violence.

I'm not just a therapist. I'm a coffee enthusiast who starts each day with a pour-over and a quiet moment before the world wakes up. I'm an outdoor lover who believes fresh air and moving my body are non-negotiable whether that's a hike, 4x4ing, hitting the resort/ backcountry, a walk with the family, or just standing in the backyard feeling the sun. And I'm a family man. A partner. A parent. Someone who knows what it's like to be pulled in ten directions and still want to show up fully for the people around me. That life outside the office isn't separate from my work. It's what keeps me refreshed, grounded, and able to come back to this chair with presence and energy. I don't just talk about balance I live it, imperfectly and intentionally. The work I've done reflects that same groundedness. I've been shaped by a wide range of experiences: residential treatment settings where the stakes were high and the progress was hard-won. Outpatient practice where life happens between sessions jobs, kids, marriages, breakdowns and breakthroughs. I've sat with clients across the entire lifespan, from geriatric patients navigating legacy and loss to teens just beginning to ask who they are. That breadth taught me something: suffering doesn't discriminate by age, and neither does healing. Whether you're sixteen or sixty, whether you're processing trauma or just trying to feel less alone, the fundamentals are the same. You want to be seen. You want to be understood. And you want a way forward that actually fits your life. That's what I'm here for.

Hi, I’m Rebecca Jensen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is having a space where you can be yourself and feel genuinely heard and understood. I want our time together to feel comfortable and collaborative, where you can talk openly about what’s going on in your life without feeling judged or pressured to have all the answers.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and actively working in the field since 2010. I have been told that I have a calming presence, a decent sense of professional insight, and a serious approach to empowering clients to find success and improve their mental health. You don’t have to suffer in silence. I am there for you. I listen, collaboratively work with you, assist with life goals and help guide you toward better mental health.

I have been in the mental health field since 1996 and a licensed clinician since 2010. I am licensed in Texas and Colorado. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and co-occurring substance use concerns. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and focuses on identifying maladaptive patterns, improving emotional regulation, and developing practical coping strategies to support long-term change. I’m passionate about helping people recognize their strengths and build a life that feels more balanced and intentional. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and useful. I work to help clients better understand what’s driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building real-life tools to manage stress, improve mood, and move forward. My approach is down-to-earth, structured, and tailored to your goals.

Hi, I’m Michelle Reese, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado. My journey began in Virginia, where I grew up. Eventually, life led me west, where I now embrace Colorado’s sunshine and beauty. My therapy approach is honest, direct, and compassionate, with a sprinkle of dark humor. While I will not sugarcoat my feedback, I will root for you without judgment. I’ll provide feedback, teach you skills and encourage you to face your inner self-critic. With some assistance, you can live a life that has balance, purpose and joy!

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, stress, or changes that have affected their overall well-being. This may include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, self-identity, career transitions, chronic or medical conditions, and other significant life experiences. As a retired Naval veteran, I bring personal insight into military culture, service-related experiences, and the unique challenges that may accompany transitions to civilian life. My experience spans both medical and mental health settings, including supporting military-affiliated individuals and people living with chronic illness. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

I am a clinician who is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to diverse populations. I challenge clients to consider new perspectives that encourage introspection and promote personal growth. It is important that I meet my clients with an outlook of empathy, curiosity, and cultural competence, while cultivating an atmosphere of advocacy, collaboration, and empowerment. I am also a huge proponent of incorporating mindfulness, movement and nature into therapy to enhance the connection between the mind and body and our environment. My intention is to motivate you to achieve your goals and support you in discovering and loving your authentic self.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. It’s no small thing making the decision to sign up to talk to a stranger about the overwhelming and very often draining circumstances that you’re in. I want to highlight how much being on this site, and looking through profiles is such a significant step toward your mental health goals. Anxiety and improving self image are at the core of my work. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from self-criticism and patterns that keep life feeling heavy. The goal of this work isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about learning to navigate life's challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-understanding.

Kristine was born and raised near Chicago in a blue-collar family. Her mother is an Italian immigrant, and her father is a second-generation Czech American. These experiences shaped her appreciation for family, resilience, and the importance of relationships. Kristine earned her undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, followed by a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. She also completed a post-master’s certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. Kristine’s professional passion lies in working with adults, particularly older adults. Much of her career has been spent in healthcare settings, where she has had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. She enjoys walking alongside clients as they navigate relationships, life transitions, stressors, medical concerns, and grief. Her approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and a genuine appreciation for each person’s unique story and journey.

You can understand exactly why you keep doing something and still feel completely stuck in it. With 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults who are tired of repeating patterns that no longer work for them. My style is active, relational, practical, and conversational. We look beyond what happened to what keeps happening—what activates the pattern, what keeps it going, and where we can actually interrupt it. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, serious illness, major life transitions, and burnout from carrying too much for too long. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming of diverse identities, sexualities, and non-traditional relationship structures. I’m genuinely open-minded about how people build relationships and live their lives. You’re unlikely to shock me, and vanilla is certainly not a requirement for admission. You don’t have to clean yourself up for therapy. Bring the contradictions, questionable decisions, weird relationship dynamics, dark humor, 47 tabs of self-help information, and the thing you’re pretty sure will make me judge you. I probably won’t. My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, motivational interviewing, attachment-based work, somatic and nervous-system awareness, mindfulness, behavioral strategies, and psychoeducation. I’m endlessly curious about what makes people tick, and I translate therapy concepts into normal language. I’m warm and supportive, but I’m not a therapist who just nods and agrees with everything you say. I’ll believe you about your experience while sometimes lovingly questioning the story your brain has built around it. I’ll notice patterns, contradictions, play devil’s advocate, and help turn insight into something useful outside the therapy room. We’ll probably laugh in therapy, sometimes about things that objectively aren’t funny. Humans are weird. Therapeutic fit matters enormously to me, and I have no ego about being the right therapist for everyone.

Hello There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have accumulated over 15 years of clinical experiences with diverse populations.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience in community mental health. I have worked across a wide range of settings, including outpatient therapy, crisis services, and intensive community programs, and have supported people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. In addition to providing therapy, I have supervised clinical teams and led mental health programs, giving me a broad perspective on what truly helps people heal. I offer individual therapy to adults. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to creating a space where clients of all identities feel respected, understood, and safe to be themselves. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a steady place where you can be honest about what you’re going through—without judgment or pressure to be anything other than yourself. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and helping clients develop practical tools while also making space for deeper healing and self-understanding.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica M. Shine, affectionately called Dr. J by many of my amazing clients! I’m a caring, down-to-earth therapist who is passionate and intentional about helping people heal from past experiences while navigating the difficult seasons life can bring. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family dysfunction, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and medical experiences. I love working with people from all walks of life and building a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, supported, heard, and never judged. I’m here to help you connect the dots, understanding how your childhood, family dynamics, relationships, life experiences, and trauma may be influencing the decisions you make and the patterns you see today. Think of me as your therapist, accountability partner, safe place to land, and cheerleader as we work together toward your healing and growth.

Welcome! I'm Margaret Rivera. Please take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health. Starting therapy can be empowering yet scary at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression and many other issues that may come up. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas - El Paso and have been practicing for over 15 years. I believe that every person has the capacity for resilience and change. Whether you're looking to overcome specific challenges or simply seeking support, I am here to help guide you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience working with individuals and families from all walks of life. I specialize in treating adults and seniors who are experiencing challenges associated with emotional health, medical/physical health and the stressors that accompany those conditions. I have extensive experience in working to support clients with depression, anxiety, and stress related disorders. Additionally, I have expertise in navigating complex medical, mental and physical care needs in support of caregivers and families who are struggling to care for an aging loved one. Dementia care is an area of special interest and expertise as well.

You're exhausted, wondering if anyone is going to reach your teenage son with ADHD. I was that kid and found my way through. Your son is struggling the same way I did. ADHD, too much homework, too little interest, too many people telling him to just try harder. I didn't get real support until the end of high school. Treatment changed the trajectory of my life. I went from community college to the University of Florida, then to a Master of Social Work from Florida State. My bachelor's was in Education Sciences with a specialization in Educational Psychology, which means I understand how ADHD plays out in a classroom, where so much of your son's pain probably lives. School is hard enough for these kids already, which is why I see clients in the evenings and on weekends. Therapy shouldn't add to what school is already taking from him.

I am a therapist that enjoys using client centered strategies to help clients better understand themselves and how they exist in the world around them. When I look at my journey through life, I have found that some of the greatest changes I have made were through conversations with others who helped me to see the world from a lens of choice. I have learned over the years that choice relates to actions, that in turn influence dynamics of empowerment and advocacy. Empowerment, advocacy, and perseverance are terms easy to grasp by definition, but much more difficult to follow through with in our day to day experiences. I believe that healing and growth really begin to set in when decisions are made to accept the current reality of ones life and then further commit to strategically apply necessary changes. Over time, I have noticed that therapy often can help people (myself included) gain a greater sense of self efficacy and self confidence, especially when we learn how powerful our thoughts and actions can be! In other words, it is ok if there are things happening in our day that we would rather not go through, however we also have a choice in how we respond in that day. I value the importance of a healthy and healing therapeutic relationship! I also value the process of exploring how trust and hope participate towards how we experience the world.

I’m a down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what’s really going on. I’m warm and easy to talk to, but I’m also not afraid to challenge you when I think it could help. My goal is to understand you as a whole person and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing while figuring out what comes next.

My name is Connie Owens, and I specialize in helping women recover from narcissistic abuse and trauma through practical mental health strategies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. I also provide biblical-based strategies for clients who request them. My approach is Holistic. We will address the 4 interdependent parts of self; 1. Mind, 2. Body, 3. Soul, and 4. Spirit. I believe that we are each uniquely different and to heal all of you we will need to treat all of you. Together we will develop a plan to look at all aspects of your life to figure out the contributing causes to your emotional pain, and then focus on a solution to help you -for good- so you can walk in freedom and live in peace. There is always hope!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual and in-person therapy in Colorado. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s changes and challenges with compassion and authenticity. My approach is holistic, nonjudgmental, and empowering. Every part of your story matters, from your relationships and environment to your past experiences. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me exploring Colorado trails with my dog, planning adventures with family and friends, or watching TV beside my cats (they run the house). Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but we’ll show up authentically and use a bit of humor when life feels heavy. I’m excited to begin this healing journey with you. Let's get started!

It can feel like addiction is writing your story, but it doesn't have to! We all have the strength to learn how to work with our brain and not let it have all the control. My goal is to help you hone the skills needed to find that strength and to help begin writing the story of the life that you have always envisioned for yourself. Using skills from DBT, Attachment Theory, Nervous System Training, and Solution Focused therapy I make it my goal to help people navigate the stressors that come with life whether big or small. My specialties include, but are not limited to: substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and trauma.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping individuals thrive.

Licensed as an LPC in Colorado and an LMHC in Florida, I am committed to providing effective, compassionate care that is both present-focused and future-oriented—helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.

I lean on a humanistic and strength based style. I offer a warm and compassionate space to explore your emotional landscape so that you can focus on things like gaining insight, processing difficult memories, or maybe finding a more balanced communication with your nervous system. I strive to be the type of therapist that is always learning and growing. In my free time, I love to enjoy the outdoors, read, bike, and drink a cozy cup of tea,

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who resides in Arizona. I have an LPC in both the state of Arizona and Colorado. For more than 9 years I have worked with both young adults and adults suffering from mood disorders, chemical addictions, behavioral addictions, and grief/loss. I have specific training in grief therapy, sexual addiction, autism spectrum disorder, as well as trauma informed care.

If you're reading this, then you have made a tremendously brave and important step in seeking self-betterment through individual counseling. Whether life can seem steady or unsteady at times, we all, nevertheless, lose track of our coping skills and rely on unhealthy habits and poor routines from time to time. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centric, Narrative Therapy, and the best evidence-based practices. My specialties include working with medical issues and physical health, intimate and romantic relationships, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ support, multicultural and diversity issues.

My name is Haleigh, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Grand Junction Colorado. I enjoy seeing couples and individuals. If you’re navigating the pain of a betrayal, hoping to strengthen communication in your relationship, or wanting support as you heal from past trauma, I’m here to help. I specialize in working with couples, as well as teens and adult individuals healing from complex trauma. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep belief in the power of safe connection to transform our lives. I view therapy as a space where we can slow down, explore patterns with curiosity, and rebuild trust, both within ourselves and in our relationships. I am trained in EMDR and draw from attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches to help clients process painful experiences and create new ways of relating. My office is an affirming, inclusive space for all identities, including the LGBTQ+ community. I strive to meet each person exactly where they are, honoring their unique story and strengths.

Seeking support can feel like a big step, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I primarily work with adults, especially those ages 45 and older, who are navigating life transitions, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, caregiving responsibilities, and changes in relationships, health, or daily life. Together, we focus on building practical tools, increasing self-understanding, and finding ways to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and support.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been providing mental health services since 2013. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New England and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Wyoming. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, and I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and their strength. I also work closely with parents to build more structure and consistency in their homes, while supporting their own mental health growth. I started out working in the homes and communities of my clients through an intensive program, working with the families of children who were at risk for out of home placement, such as residential treatment or psychiatric hospitalization. This program was a 6 month therapeutic intervention, helping parents to better understand their children's needs, as well as helping children develop regulatory skills to help them be more successful, in their homes and communities. I provide virtual outpatient therapy to Colorado residents, working with individuals aged 15 and up who are struggling with daily functioning and searching for their true, authentic selves. My approach blends evidence-based methods, tailored to support you through distress and toward healing. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment, and building a path forward together at a pace that feels right for you.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and everyday life challenges. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with supportive, honest conversations and practical strategies. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly, and knowing they won't be judged. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, explore different perspectives, and work toward meaningful changes.

I'm a Colorado native with 25 years of experience in counseling. Our mission is to help you identify changes and set achievable goals, supporting you every step of the way. Do you feel broken, wounded, desperate, empty, guilty, lost? Our clients appreciate that we all share common experiences, and sometimes we need some professional care. I believe you have strengths that we can use in counseling to build up your resilience. I'm easy-going, very compassionate, and caring.

I am a Colorado and South Carolina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with: individuals in the midst of grief and other major phase-of-life transitions like divorce, job loss, legal challenges, etc.; teenagers who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges; couples and families that are struggling to find common ground; and fractured families prior to, during, and after divorce. Building strong families, even through divorce or custody battles, incarceration, or other prolonged periods of estrangement, is a particular area of focus for me. I offer reintegration therapy services for parents and children who have experienced short- and long-term separation or alienation. I love working with families who want to find a way to function better post-divorce. In addition, I spent a decade working for the Alzheimer's Association, which included counseling individuals and families who were facing a diagnosis of dementia. Prior to venturing into the counseling field, I ran a non-profit that operated a 100-bed homeless shelter, a family transitional housing program, and an eight-unit supportive housing project for Veterans. I have a heart for working with military veterans and their families -- having 22 years of service in the US Air Force myself. I served on Active Duty for 6 years, and after a break in service, completed another 16 years as a Reservist. My spouse served alongside me, with each of us deploying twice. Our son is currently serving as well. Therefore, I have been the deployed service member, the spouse left to manage things back home, and the mom watching her "baby" deploy to far-off places. There is almost no part of military service I do not understand through first-hand experience.

I want to support you where you are most comfortable. I offer both Telehealth & Home-Based (in-home/house call) counseling/therapy. I specialize in the complexities of the life journey with all its transitions. I understand the unique emotional and existential pressures that accompany significant life events. Whether you are navigating the demanding role of a caregiver, processing grief, or facing a difficult health diagnosis, I provide a structured, compassionate environment where you can find both clarity and relief.
