Therapists in Lakewood, CO

I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider from Evergreen and a board-certified practitioner who has worked across the states in various communities. I have worked with all aspects of care, from mental health to chronic care. I attribute a lot of my "patient-centered care" to the diverse patient population set I have served. This diversity, as I state, "has made way for understanding how similar we are as individuals and communities, as well as understanding the intricate differences we each have." "Patient autonomy" and "patient empowerment" are the foundations of my approach. Patients should be heard, educated on all aspects of their concerns, and finally be able to make a well-informed decision on their plan of care.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner fostering care across the life span fully licensed in Colorado, Florida, California, and Oregon. I provide initial evaluation and ongoing management of psychiatric medications, supportive counseling, health education, ketamine evaluations, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I believe in treating the whole mind, body, and spirit. I feel that it is vital to provide support structuring lives in a manageable way that allows treating the root cause of underlying symptoms-working together developing a treatment plan that we are both comfortable with. I believe strong relationships are the key to a successful healing process. I want to truly get to know you so I may provide optimal health care. This is why my appointments are longer than those typically offered by other mental health providers. In my first year at Maryville University, I developed a deep interest in psychedelic medicine and its healing powers. I continued my training within the ketamine space after school until I was able to incorporate it into my practice in an effort to heal deep-seeded traumatic wounds of others. It is my hope that I can continue to help many others heal in a similar fashion in order to live joyful lives to their fullest potential whether that it through ketamine or psychiatric medications.

My practice philosophy centers on a deep respect for my patients’ autonomy, dignity, and trust in me to honor the sanctity of their stories. With over seventeen years of both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nursing experience, my approach to struggles with anxiety, depression, and other common and less common mental health problems is driven by humility and dedication to my patients’ goals and preferred cultural sources of belonging and support. Compelled by lived experience, I specialize in psychiatric concerns related to neurodevelopment and neurodivergence, tailoring treatment according to ethical, evidence-based research and guidelines. Along with a balanced strengths-based approach to disability, my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion similarly translates into sensitivity and diligence with regard to psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic choices. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry •Behavioral Medicine *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Autism •Sleep problems •ADHD •Insomnia •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •Mood disorders •OCD •Trauma and PTSD *Treatment philosophy My treatment philosophy prioritizes non-judgmental, compassionate, creative, and scientifically rigorous care.
