You’ve spent years keeping the peace, pleasing everyone, and trying to be the strong one. You went along to get along. Smiled when you wanted to scream. But inside? You’re done. Burned out. Maybe even broken in places you’ve never said out loud. I work with men and women who’ve carried silent trauma, betrayal, grief, and shame for far too long. You don’t have to keep pretending. Therapy with me is real, faith-friendly, and trauma-informed. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you come home to yourself.

All people need to learn tangible emotional skills and tools to create the healthy, conscious life and relationships they truly desire. As humans, we all have emotional issues. Issues are never the problem. The problem is that we, commonly, have not been taught the very skills that allow us to identify and, most importantly, deal successfully with our own set of issues. That leaves us acting out those issues, creating a disruption to our health, growth and important relationships. No need to suffer those disappointments unnecessarily. Anyone can learn to deal with their obstacles to creating true harmony in life.

We all face moments when life feels painful, overwhelming, and healing seems just out of reach. Many of the individuals I work with are going through life transitions, such as young adulthood or family and job changes, or are navigating the effects of living with trauma, anxiety, and substance use. Are you seeking clarity, self-trust, and the flexibility to create or reconnect with a sense of wellness and peace in your life? Are you hoping to make more progress in addressing past experiences that just seem to feel stuck? With authenticity and evidence-based practices, I am able to support and empower you to create meaningful change.

You look like you have it all together, but inside, you often feel tired, anxious, or just not yourself. You are the one people count on. You’re competent, kind, high-functioning, and secretly overwhelmed. You may find yourself carrying emotional weight alone, unsure how to slow down or ask for the help you need. You are not broken; you are human. You deserve the space to breathe. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in helping women who appear strong on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or emotional disconnection.

I take Region 1 Medicaid and have lived 16 years in Routt County. With 19 years experience in the field, many of my clients run depressed, anxious, feel they are overly sensitive, or have experienced trauma of any kind. I also see a lot of burnt out women who are in the helping professions, like nurses, teachers, and moms. While it is true that life will always hold challenges, sometimes they just feel excessive and overwhelming, which makes it hard to feel like yourself. I want you to to feel confident, clear, and compassionate toward your self and the world. I believe every living person deserves that. It is your birthright.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
