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 Hispanic counselor, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding of how culture, loss, and trauma can shape our lives. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered, creating a supportive space where clients can process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Hi, I'm Brittany, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and national certified counselor (NCC). I work with teens and adults navigating life transitions, stress, trauma, loss, relationship challenges, and experiences that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is supportive, straightforward, and down-to-earth. Therapy should be a space where you can be yourself while growing. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes. My goal is to help you leave therapy with tools and insights that extend beyond our sessions.
My approach is straightforward, supportive, and collaborative. I create a space where you can be yourself and grow. I believe laughter matters in therapy. I use CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care to help develop coping skills and confidence. My goal is tackling difficult things with humor and connection.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable when you're used to handling things alone. You don't need everything figured out before walking through the door. We'll start where you are and build from there. If you're ready for a space where you can be yourself, feel supported, laugh, and grow, I invite you to schedule an appointment and see if we're a good fit.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Dependent personality disorder therapy from our therapists in Westminster, CO helps clients establish their individuality and self-reliance, as those with dependent personality disorder harshly criticize themselves and underestimate their abilities.
Dependent personality disorder therapy often involves exploration into one’s past — specifically, events or relationships that may have led to the development of their dependent personality disorder. These experiences and their subsequent behaviors are discussed to help one develop healthier behaviors moving forward.
Dependent personality disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Dependent personality disorder with a provider at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO is a short-term therapy, as long-form treatment can lead to the development of a dependence on one’s therapist.
Many people who have dependent personality disorder have a number of professional and personal problems. They rely upon an authority figure to be their caretaker, and they often have very low self-esteem. People with the disorder often do not have the confidence to take care of their own physical and emotional needs so they look to others to meet their needs. Instead of building a unique, independent life, they depend upon another’s provision, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dependent personality disorder can severely limit an individual, but there are treatment options available. People with the disorder can learn to autonomous and self-reliant. They can live their own, unique life.
Thriveworks Westminster has appointments available for Dependent Personality Disorder, and our mental health professionals have worked with many people who struggle with dependency. We know how the disorder can hold people back, but we also know the treatment options that are available. It is possible to live an independent life. Reach out today to get help.

A quick read through these red flags, signs, and symptoms gives a little picture of the difficulties that Dependent Personality Disorder can cause. The disorder can introduce many personal and professional handicaps into an individual’s life. Professionally, those with the disorder may have difficulty finding and maintaining a job because they often lack initiative and confidence. Personally, people with the disorder often have social circles that are limited to their family and/or caregivers. The disorder also increases their risk for other mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders.
When people treatment for Dependent Personality Disorder, the goal is independence. Therapists and counselors must avoid becoming yet another authority figure or caretaker in an individual’s life, but instead, mental health professionals must teach skills for self-reliance.
