Our Team

Karen is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With over 25 years of experience as an EMT, ER, ICU and flight nurse, Karen's experiences in these roles came with a great personal cost, as any nurse or responder can relate to.  She realized that there was a need for both culturally relevant and competent mental health care, where responders could get help from someone who understands the lifestyle and demands of responder life, and the impact it has. Her passion for treating first responders and their families led her to become a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), and together with her husband, they founded ReThink Mental Health and Wellness. 

 She enjoys teaching, especially peer support trainings for several local police, fire, and EMS, agencies. She also lectures for paramedic and nursing students sharing lessons she has learned in her career and how to avoid and overcome secondary trauma. She leads a secondary trauma and resiliency course on occasion with a local non-profit.  She is also certified in weight loss medicine and peptide therapy and believes mental health includes caring for the entire body. She takes an individualized, person-centered approach to care.

She is married to a First Responder and has two adult children. She loves music, the outdoors, and is an avid big game hunter. Her pup Lilly also joins her at the office every day to provide smiles, cuddles, ensures her dog toys are stragegiclly placed throughout the office. 

Erin is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience working with military members and their families, as well as Veterans. As a Navy Veteran herself, Erin has a passion for serving those who serve our country and community. She believes in a holistic approach to mental wellness, recognizing that resilience and healing aren’t attained with a one-size-fits-all treatment plan, but rather one that has been tailored to each individual’s unique desires, needs, and often age.  Erin also enjoys supporting and caring for young children and older adults.  Because of her current and past experience in the Navy, she understands the intricacies of caring for those, and the families of those, that serve, as well as first responders. 

Erin was born and raised in Arizona and lived all over the country during her nearly 12 years of active-duty service. Now in Colorado, she remains a member of the United States Navy Reserves. Erin is also married to a Navy Veteran, with whom she shares two children and two dogs. She enjoys spending time with her family, listening to true crime podcasts, gardening and crafting.

Hayley is a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose practice is defined by a sophisticated blend of diverse nursing experience and deep human connection. She is driven by her belief in patient-centered care that honors the whole person, seeking to identify the root cause of symptoms through an evidence-based approach.

Her background in the high-pressure environments of critical care, oncology, and pediatrics provided a foundation in medical complexity and ignited her passion for adolescent mental health care. During her tenure at Children’s Hospital, she managed high-acuity cases across neuropsychiatric, eating disorder, and inpatient psychiatric units. Witnessing the heavy burden of judgment often placed on these young patients and their families compelled her to pursue a Doctorate in Psychiatric Nursing (DNP) as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from the University of Missouri, with a special emphasis on mental health stigma reduction in adolescence. Hayley is a firm advocate for early intervention in pediatric and adolescent populations, believing that access to quality mental health care in youth can significantly influence lifelong outcomes. Hayley also holds both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Kansas and a Bachelor of Arts in History, and she remains active in the broader medical community as Clinical Affiliate Faculty for Regis University, where she mentors future nurses in navigating the complexities of mental health settings.

 Hayley’s commitment to stigma-free, culturally relevant care extends to her work with the first responder community supported by insight gained from her personal ties to the responder community and her years navigating the demands of the healthcare system. Hayley’s lived experience enables her to offer a level of clinical validation and cultural competence that ensures patients feel understood from the start. 

In her free time, Hayley enjoys running, baking, and Her pups Emmet (Corgi) and Elle (doodle)

She is a certified service dog trained in both physiological and psychological crisis response. During your appointment, you'll likely be greeted in the waiting room presenting you with one of her stuffed animals or patrolling the halls looking for opportunities for affection...or snacks. She joins Karen during client sessions and helps provide stress relief and comfort to clients. She especially loves to give hugs with her fluffy paws.  Lilly is excellent at convincing others that she is in need of food and lacking attention. We assure you, she is fed and very spoiled, but we welcome you to sympathise with her "plight" by giving her all the hugs you'd like!
