Meet the Providers
Authentically meeting you where you are in life, listening to where you want to be, and working collaboratively with you to focus on your healing and personal growth to find your best self is my commitment to your journey. One of my favorite quotes carrying great significance for today’s heavy burdens is one by the writer Charlie Mackesy from his book ‘The boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse,’ “Always remember you matter, you’re important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can.”
I started out with Family Care Center as a therapist, and I absolutely loved working with patients to find therapeutic ways to heal and improve their wellbeing. I also found that I have a passion for being a support and a resource for other providers. So, when the opportunity was presented to step into the clinic administrator role, I took it. I believe that creating a healthy work environment and taking care of our employees means that staff are better equipped to provide the best care for our patients.
If you are thinking about engaging in therapy, please know that I am available to listen and to work with you. If you have a child, adolescent, or partner that you’d like to bring into therapy, I am happy to help you to learn skills and develop greater understanding about the challenges you are experiencing. As we all learn improved communication skills, emotional regulation and coping, we are able to experience more happiness and joy in our lives. You all deserve that!
Come as you are and we will work together to find balance, heal, and make the desired changes in a
judgement-free environment.
As a counselor and a person, I am compassionate, curious, and playful. I feel that honoring your past, listening to your personal experiences and respecting your convictions are important to better understand how you make sense of your world. My primary goal in working with clients is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which you will feel empowered to explore the difficult aspects of your life. Together we will define where you want to go. We will identify your strengths and develop tools and skills that will help you get there.
My own healing journey has led me around the globe, studying various healing modalities to learn how people heal themselves (and each other). My mission as a therapist is to assist and support you so you may live a more authentic, meaningful, and productive life, in harmony with your family and communities. If there is one truth I’ve come across, it is this: the World needs You. The World needs your unique qualities, talents, and skills. The World needs your honest perspective. The World needs you to be healthy, joyful, and connected.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I am honored to walk alongside you as you embark on your
path toward healing, growth, and self-acceptance. No matter where you are on your journey, I am here to provide guidance, validation, and evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs.
It takes a lot of strength and personal fortitude to come to therapy, and I know it can be an uncomfortable and
daunting process. Just getting yourself through the door is a huge win, and our best looks different every day. I
believe building a strong relationship is at the core of a therapeutic and healing space, and the client is the
expert of their own experience. I work to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space to work
collaboratively in exploring whatever might be going on.
First and foremost, I want you to know that you can “just be.” My goal is always to create a space where you feel you can be your authentic self. It is okay to express exactly how you feel, or not even know how you feel. My approach is collaborative and transparent. I want to partner and walk with you on this therapeutic journey. I truly value individualized care and believe some of the smallest steps can create the most change.
I have been a Medical Assistant for 30 years. I have been working in the behavioral health field for about 7 almost 8 years. This is where my passion lies, to help people on their journey to a new self-awareness. Even to know that I have been part of the process of a new beginning in one person’s life is very rewarding. Working with the people here in the Fort Collins clinic has been very special to me. Everyone here is wonderful in their own ways, but they come together as a team perfectly.
I want to help you get to where you want to be in your life.
As a former educator, I developed a passion for offering auxiliary support for people navigating the mental health world. I often found myself helping students and their parents get connected to resources. I loved my time in the classroom, I wanted to find an outlet for this passion and a way to apply it on a larger scale.
