I hold dual certification as a Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP, PMHNP) with 25+ years of experience in a wide range of professional NP roles (clinical, management, educator). Graduating from Georgetown University with a BSN, I practiced as an RN & 10yrs later completed a masters at the University of New Mexico leading to FNP certification.

My goal is to promote patient involvement in & understanding of their plan of care & to support my patients in their healing journey toward a purposeful life. After growing up in Washington, D.C., I moved to Santa Fe, NM to complete certification in massage therapy & teach yoga. I am delighted to have decades calling Colorado home.

Hey, I’m Xandra. I help college students get clear on their academic path, work through difficult emotions, and feel more confident and grounded. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life. Others struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or relationship challenges. I have 12+ years of experience as both a college career counselor and a professional counselor, so I can support you in many different ways—whether you’re feeling stuck in your studies, uncertain about your future, or simply seeking more balance and peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students heal, grow, and create more meaningful lives. I also specialize in helping clients strengthen their intuition. Developing a clear inner knowing makes it easier to trust yourself when making decisions, so you can feel more centered, confident, and at ease in your own skin. If you want to see if we're a good fit, I offer free 30-minute consultations so I can learn more about you and get a better sense of how I might be able to help. We can talk over any questions or concerns you have. Wishing you all the best.

My work is built on a foundation of the belief that everyone possesses health, sanity, and wisdom regardless of how disconnected they feel from it or the problems presenting in their life. I support clients tired of being pathologized and ready to become authors of their own experience through self-defined narratives of healing. For over 10 years, I served my community as a crisis counselor in various capacities and sat with folks experiencing the worst moment of their lives. I have yet to meet a person who is beyond help or "too much." Through my career, I have honed a unique ability to work with suicidal thoughts, addiction, anger and psychosis. You are not broken. You are not alone. From city streets to field medical tents in the mountains, I have seen the most extreme forms of mental anguish and learned even in the darkest nights there is always hope, beauty and resilience to be found. Let me help you discover the same.

As a trauma-informed, patient-centered psychiatric clinician, I specialize in collaborative mental health care for children, adolescents, and their families. My approach utilizes evidence-based, strength-based, and relational therapies to create an encouraging space that supports the whole person, where you feel understood and empowered in your healing. I look forward to helping you achieve your mental health goals as you reach positive, lasting growth. I believe in meeting people with compassion, curiosity, and support, serving as a thoughtful and collaborative partner along your path toward healing. In our time together, you are empowered to achieve that growth in a safe environment that helps you build insight, increase self-understanding, and improve emotional regulation. Care is tailored to your unique history, experiences, needs, and goals, while at all times remaining warm, thoughtful, relational, and collaborative, so you realize resilience and meaningful change. My therapeutic journey began more than ten years ago working in the mental health field as a social worker and therapist, supporting children, adolescents, and their family navigating trauma and complex mental health challenges. Their resiliency and drive showed me the importance of recognizing the impact of past experiences, building on existing strengths, and creating space for healing, growth, and meaningful change. In my care now, I use this integrative and whole-person perspective to ensure compassionate, trauma-informed care in every session. When I’m not helping patients, I’m spending time with my two amazing daughters and a loving husband. We especially enjoy skiing and hiking around Colorado.

I work best with students who are high-achieving, thoughtful, and often putting a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed.

I'm a clinical psychologist providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. If you're here, then you're probably looking for a change. Life can be unpredictable, complicated, and demanding.

I view therapy as a collaborative process -- a joint effort towards feeling more connected, satisfied, and adaptable.
