Blue Dog Mental Health Services, is built on what my dog, Wilma, has taught me: You don’t have to hurry, you don’t have to do it alone, and everyone needs a safe place to land. I am a Licensed Social Worker in Colorado. I am local to Colorado Springs and offer in-person and virtual sessions for Colorado clients. Who I work with: I work with teens and young adults facing mental health struggles while navigating this unique stage of life. Sometimes that means supporting their sobriety and recovery journey along with their mental health. I also offer parent support sessions because I believe healing and recovery take a village! How I Work: I come from a relational perspective and use an eclectic approach. In practice, that means we start by building a solid foundation of rapport and trust, then choose approaches that fit your needs rather than fitting you into a single method. I value trauma-informed care, which emphasizes choice and collaboration, so you have a real voice in what works best for you. My background: My background is in teen dual diagnosis (co-occurring substance use and mental health) residential treatment, where I provided group, individual, and family therapy. That work gave me a deep appreciation for the challenges young people and their parents face in today’s world. If you’re ready to take a step forward, or just curious whether we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out for a free consultation. Military families welcome! I am an Army Veteran with a deeply personal understanding of the different dynamics that come with military service.
