Devan completed her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado State University and is deeply passionate about walking alongside mothers and families during some of life's most tender and challenging seasons.
She has a special interest in supporting individuals navigating infant grief and loss, infertility and reproductive struggles, and the emotional experiences that can arise throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. She understands that these experiences can feel isolating and overwhelming and strives to create a space where clients feel genuinely supported, understood, and never alone in their journey.
Grounded in a person-centered approach, Devan views therapy as a collaborative process. She believes healing begins within a safe and compassionate relationship where clients can share their stories at their own pace. Her work incorporates mindfulness practices that help clients connect more deeply with themselves, their emotions, and the present moment.
Devan also brings valuable insight from her work as a Certified Lactation Counselor, which has deepened her understanding of the unique challenges, emotions, and strengths that often emerge throughout the perinatal journey. Her experience supporting families through feeding, bonding, and early parenthood further informs her compassionate and holistic approach to care.
Devan often reminds clients that the small things matter: a pause to breathe, a quiet moment of connection, or a step toward self-compassion. She believes these small moments can create meaningful and lasting change over time. Her goal is to help clients discover hope, resilience, and empowerment even when the path ahead feels uncertain.
Outside of the therapy room, Devan enjoys hiking, spending time with her dog Rudder, dancing, cooking, and driving to the mountains for coffee. These practices help her stay grounded in the same mindfulness and balance she encourages clients to cultivate in their own lives.

Interested in Working with Devan?
The first step to beginning care at Parent & Family Wellness Center is scheduling an intake appointment with one of our intake clinicians. During this appointment, they will take time to better understand your needs, goals, preferences, and areas of support so they can thoughtfully help match you with the best-fit therapist.
If you feel especially drawn to Devan, you are always welcome to mention that during your intake appointment. If appropriate and availability allows, we will always do our best to honor those preferences.
We offer both in-person therapy in Boulder and virtual therapy throughout Colorado.
