About
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and compassionate, with a focus on understanding each client’s full experience, strengths, and goals. I provide thoughtful evaluations, clear education, and treatment planning that may include medication management and supportive care.
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet clients with respect, understanding, and support while helping them improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward healing and growth when you feel ready.

I know how difficult it is to find a therapist, so thank you for taking the time to read this.
My professional career spans over 20 years of working in the Denver and Jefferson county community mental health systems, helping Coloradans cope with a range of diagnoses and severities. During that time I have focused on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and issues that affect men specifically. I received my master’s degree in counseling from Adams State University, and my undergraduate in social work from Phillips University.
I use the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide discussions to help rethink our situations, challenge our maladaptive beliefs, and move forward with valued actions.
In my personal life, I enjoy skiing, playing guitar, disk golf, going to concerts, and taking care of my dog. I have lived in the Denver area for over 30 years and still love to get out and play, especially if it’s free or in the mountains. If you are in need of someone to talk to I’m always willing to listen.

I’m a warm, behaviorally grounded therapist who will meet you with compassion and real-world tools—so you feel understood, learn what’s driving the patterns, and build skills that make daily life worth living.
I'm a therapist with a practical approach grounded in DBT and behavioral principles. I work with clients stuck in intense emotions, anxiety, shame, or repeating relationship patterns. I draw from DBT, CBT, and behavioral strategies while keeping work collaborative and tailored to you. Many clients want clear tools and practice to manage overwhelm, reduce reactivity, improve communication, and feel more steady. Whether navigating stress, transitions, neurodivergent traits, or patterns that don't match who you're trying to be, my goal is to help you feel understood and empowered—with a practical plan you can use.
My style is warm, direct, practical. I use DBT and behavioral strategies to help you identify patterns and practice skills that work. I also use CBT for thinking patterns. You can expect collaboration, accountability, and real-world focus through coping plans and communication practice. My goal is for you to leave with skills you can use independently.
If you've been carrying a lot while staying functional, you're not alone. Therapy is a place where you feel genuinely understood and learn skills to make life more manageable, one step at a time. If you're ready for supportive, practical work grounded in real change and compassion, I'd be honored to work with you. Schedule an appointment when you're ready.

As someone shaped by diverse cultures and communities, I bring a deep respect for each person’s unique story and a belief that healing begins with feeling seen, valued, and empowered to write the next chapter.
I am a Licensed Social Worker with 9 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, identity challenges, trauma, and relational changes. My approach integrates holistic wellness, evidence-based practices, and compassionate connection to help clients find healing, balance, and purpose in their lives.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Western New Mexico University. My approach blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness, strengths-based, and culturally responsive practices. I create a collaborative space where clients feel supported as they build resilience and emotional wellness.
Wherever you are on your journey, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and renewed confidence. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward balance, connection, and self-discovery.

As a veteran and trauma-informed therapist, I understand that our experiences can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them.
I am a Licensed Social Worker and trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career, I have supported people navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral and emotional challenges, family conflict, crisis, and difficult life transitions. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of what comes next, helping them better understand their experiences, develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in themselves and their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being honest and know they will be met without judgment. I take a practical, individualized approach, helping clients recognize patterns, build coping and communication skills, and identify strategies that fit their lives. I value authenticity, and working alongside each client at their own pace.
Reaching out for support can be difficult, especially when you have been carrying things on your own for a long time. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Wherever you are right now, we can start there. If you feel I may be a good fit for you or your family, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Blended family counseling from our therapists at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO helps families who have come together through marriage work through changes, accept differences, ease tension, and form bonds. It enables parents to set boundaries and expectations around finances, parenting, and other areas. In addition, it offers all family members a safe space to voice their thoughts and feelings.
Blended family counseling will likely involve attending sessions as a group, but it might also involve individual sessions with each family member. It works by encouraging the group to share any emotions, concerns, or challenges they might be experiencing, as it relates to the family, and then offering tailored solutions.
Blended family counseling at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Blended family counseling from one of our providers at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO can be short- or long-term, lasting for weeks, months, or years. The length is dependent on the family’s areas of concerns, whether they’re more immediate or they’re more complex. Together with your therapist, you can determine how long you should plan on attending therapy for best results.
The challenges of blending two families are many, but so are the benefits. When families come together, they may double the people, double the chaos, but they also double the love. Blended families can be places where deep connections are formed, where family members forge a unique sense of self, and where resiliency is built. Many families want to be blended into one, big, harmonious family, but they are not sure how to do this. There are many roadblocks that can keep families from coming together, but these common challenges also have common solutions. Skilled therapists can often guide the process through blended family counseling.
If you and your loved ones are coming together to form a blended family, know that you do not have to navigate the challenges alone. Thriveworks Westminster provides counseling for blended families, and we have worked with families who are at different stages of the blending process. We are here to help. Reach out today to get started.
Sometimes, blended families are called stepfamilies because a parent or a sibling or a partner are asked to step into a unique role. There are no limits or molds on what a blended family can look like. It would be impossible to list every kind of step or blended family, but here are a few examples:
Changes, even positive changes, can be unsettling for kids. Often, in periods of transition, kids experience the most changes but have the least ability to exert control. Kids may be navigating challenging emotions that they have never felt previously. They may be grieving the death of a parent or their parent’s break-up. They may be processing the frustration of having two homes with two different sets of rules. These emotions can be a vicious cycle as they often cause behavioral problems that can make life even more challenging for a child.
As a new marriage or partnership is forming, couples must navigate their own relationship, but they must also set the tone for the whole family. They lead their kids and themselves through the transition into a blended family. Couples have to forge their own, unique parenting style and possibly navigate their ex’s parenting. If they have never parented before, they need to learn and implement those skills. If they are not taking on a parenting role, then they need to clarify what role they will take in the child’s life. Any one of these challenges presents a number of difficulties, but often, couples in a blended family are navigating multiple challenges at one time.
Are you ready to reach out for help? Thriveworks Westminster offers therapy for blended families. We know the challenges that can keep families from bonding, but we also know that in every challenge is an opportunity. When everyone is willing to make adjustments, it is possible to build a big, happy family. We accept many different forms of insurance, and we offer evening and weekend sessions. Let’s work together.
