Walking With You Toward Healing and Hope

---

Adolescent & Adult Therapist

Peace of Mind 5280, Inc.

Throughout our lives, we all face moments of challenge, growth, and transition. In a world that is constantly shifting, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to move forward. Yet even in the hardest seasons, healing and balance are possible. I believe in each person’s innate capacity for change, and that none of us should have to walk that journey alone.

I approach my work from a holistic perspective, honoring the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. When we address the whole person, we create space for deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful transformation. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify what’s standing in your way, and build a path toward growth that feels grounded and empowering.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from New York University in 2004 and bring more than twenty years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. My background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, mood dysregulation, addiction, and complex personality structures. I’ve had the privilege of serving clients in both inpatient and outpatient settings across public and private sectors, experiences that have shaped my understanding of the diverse ways people struggle and heal.

Therapy is a journey we take together. My role is to offer guidance, support, and encouragement as you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to move toward a more peaceful, connected, and fulfilling life.

Adolescent & Adult Therapist

Peace of Mind 5280, Inc.

With 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate, holistic, and client-centered approach to the work I do. I am dual-licensed in Colorado as a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Candidate (LPCC), and I hold a Master’s in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, adolescents, and families through a wide range of challenges, including ten years dedicated specifically to helping those affected by alcohol and substance use. I am also experienced in supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health concerns.

Trauma-informed care is at the heart of my practice. I frequently use motivational interviewing to encourage meaningful change, and I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), all of which I’ve utilized effectively for more than a decade. I also incorporate mindfulness-based tools, such as breathing techniques and tapping, to help clients manage PTSD, anxiety, and depression with practical, grounded strategies.

I am especially passionate about group therapy and love creating spaces where people feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. Serving rural communities is deeply meaningful to me, and I enjoy giving back through local volunteer opportunities.

Outside of work, I embrace everything Colorado has to offer. You can often find me exploring new hiking trails, enjoying time outdoors, or traveling with my family, especially my grandbabies. Since moving from Oregon in 2020, Colorado has truly become home for me. I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring my experience, compassion, and heart for community to Peace of Mind Collaborative.

Adolescent & Adult Therapist

Peace of Mind 5280, Inc.

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy is a genuine partnership. I consider it a true honor to be trusted with someone’s story, and I approach that responsibility with deep respect, compassion, and empathy. My goal is to create a safe, intentional space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we navigate life’s challenges together and build a path toward healing and renewed well-being.

I take an eclectic, individualized approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to best support your needs. My practice is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). 

These tools help me effectively address anxiety, depression, substance use, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in both adolescents and adults.

Outside the therapy room, I recharge by embracing the beauty of Colorado, camping, hiking, kayaking, and soaking up the sunshine whenever I can. I love attending concerts and theater performances, and I’m a dedicated fan of the Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche. Most importantly, I cherish time with my family and my beloved fur-babies.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I would be honored to walk with you as we work toward a brighter, healthier future together.

Child & Adolescent  Therapist

Peace of Mind 5280, Inc.

I have a deep passion for supporting children, adolescents, and families as they navigate life’s challenges through a trauma-informed and compassionate lens. I believe that behavior is often the voice of emotional pain, especially for children who may not yet have the words to express what they feel. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where young clients can be seen, heard, and truly understood.

I bring extensive experience working within school systems with youth ages 5 to 21, supporting students and their families through academic, behavioral, emotional, and social hurdles. I specialize in trauma and crisis care, and my therapeutic approach is integrative and responsive to each child’s unique needs.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness practices, psychoeducation, play therapy, and solution-focused strategies such as goal setting and conflict resolution. This blend allows me to meet clients where they are and empower them to build resilience, confidence, and healthier coping skills.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis, and I am licensed in both Colorado and Kansas. I am dedicated to walking alongside children and families as they work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, hiking, fishing, and spending quality time with my husband and children bring me joy and balance.

I am currently accepting clients ages 5 and up for in-person sessions at our Elizabeth office, and I look forward to supporting your family’s journey.

I am excited to be joining Peace of Mind Collaborative in February 2026 and being part of a team committed to increasing access to meaningful support and resources.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the power of authentic partnership and human connection. I consider it a true honor to be invited into someone’s story, and I approach that responsibility with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and intentional space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal, grow, and reconnect with your best self.

I work from a person-centered and strengths-based orientation, believing that each individual already holds resilience, wisdom, and potential, even when life experiences have caused pain or disconnection. I take a holistic and individualized approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I specialize in working with individuals impacted by addiction and complex trauma, including histories of physical, emotional, sexual, and religious abuse, homelessness, trafficking, and other deeply challenging life experiences. I am passionate about helping clients uncover the heart and soul beneath the pain, fostering healing that honors both where you have been and where you hope to go.

My faith as a Christian informs my compassion, values, and commitment to serving others with humility and care. I warmly welcome individuals of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds, and I am committed to honoring and respecting each client’s personal worldview as an integral part of their healing journey.

Outside of the therapy space, I bring an energetic, creative, and values-driven presence to my work. I find genuine joy in witnessing clients make progress, reconnect with their inner strength, and step into meaningful change. Supporting people as they rediscover hope and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life is at the core of why I do this work.

If you are seeking a therapist who will walk alongside you with intention, authenticity, and compassion, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
