EMDR Therapists in Capitol Hill, Denver, CO

I’m Christina (she/her) and I partner with clients in a collaborative, comfortable, evidenced-based approach to navigate life stressors, trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns. My therapeutic style includes a safe space for all to explore their understanding of themselves and the world without judgment. My goal is to welcome all, to feel safe and heard. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT and DBT. If it is your first time in therapy or you have been doing therapy for years, let's open this chapter together.

Can't stop thinking about the "what if's"? Or maybe you find yourself spending too much time obsessing about what people think of you. Sometimes you get to a point where enjoying the present is difficult and you just can’t seem to shake the feeling of being “on edge.” You may even get a sinking feeling in your stomach when Sunday rolls around knowing you have work or school ahead of you. Feelings and thoughts like this may seem like roadblocks to achieving your goals; however, change is possible.

Do you wonder what your inner voice would say if given the chance for authentic expression? There are myriad reasons that contribute to the quieting of our whole selves—individual, family, and intergenerational trauma, oppression, genetics, and sometimes just the inherent challenges of living in our world. Whatever your story is, you possess the inherent wisdom that’s key to your growth and healing. I work with LGBTQIA+ folks exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, individuals in non-traditional relationships, and those seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and codependency.

Ask yourself a question, what if it works? What if I could help you, in some way, make positive and permanent lifestyle changes, would you be interested? Are you feeling "stuck", need help navigating life, or just need a safe place learn how to manage feelings? I can help! I am an EMDRIA trained EMDR therapist, and I have a master’s degree in clinical mental health with 7 years of counseling experience and a specialization in addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders.

No matter where you're at in your journey, if you're motivated to heal from past trauma, I'm here to help.

I'm a LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent identified clinician, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with members of my communities. We'll build coping skills catered to your needs, nervous system, and neurotype. Together, we can release old pain so you can step into the life you want.

Ever felt that it’s overwhelming to try and fit the pieces of your life together? Maybe you’ve been working on the puzzle for a while but the picture isn’t matching the one on the box, or life knocked the puzzle off the table and left you to pick up the pieces, or you’ve used all the pieces but the picture isn’t complete. When this happens, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or ill-prepared for the ups and downs of daily life. Wherever you are wanting to feel more put together, it can be frustrating and exhausting to keep trying when your efforts aren’t having the impact you would want.

Originally from Kentucky, I moved to Denver in 2023. I have a strong passion for helping people live more whole-hearted lives. Every day, I strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel safe to laugh, cry, share your experiences, and move toward healing. I will tailor your treatment using evidence-based practices to ensure you have everything you need to reach your full potential and become your most authentic self. While in session with clients, I often use a combination of EMDR, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT techniques to teach new skills, process trauma, and elicit positive change talk.

I'm an LCSW passionate about helping people navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, and perfectionism.

I strive to understand your specific experiences and how they shape your present struggles. Whether you're grappling with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming sadness, or the echoes of past trauma, I'll walk alongside you with empathy and guidance.

With recent neurological and attachment research, we are finding how connected the mind and body really are. We are also finding how important for a person's well-being it is to understand one’s identity and how we each fit in the world. I partner with my clients to develop a felt sense of security within themselves and the world. This felt sense is what will create the necessary resiliency to ensure a person can work through struggles that have been holding them back. Much of my background involves working with the Neuro-Diverse community and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Looking to gain more insight into self? Do you not feel that you fit into the mainstream? Are you tired of therapists asking you “How does that make you feel?” Let me help you find the space to explore your existing thoughts, deepen your connection to those around you or achieve the goals that have been at arm's length.

Hello! My focus is working with adults who are struggling with relationship issues, poor self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

EMDR Therapy is extremely helpful in QUICKLY reducing symptoms of PTSD, ANXIETY, Depression, and major life stressors.

Do you feel stuck in the trauma & feel broken? Are your symptoms not resolving through traditional talk therapy? Are you interested in the healing powers of plant & psychedelic medicine? When the ceremony closes the journey begins, transformational healing happens on a soul level, let’s integrate. Life certainly has a way of presenting what can feel like insurmountable challenges that distract us from our true nature. When we hit rock bottom it creates a crack for our greatness to flood through though often the pain of breaking distracts us in an unbearable way. Together we'll mend those cracks with gold.

Choosing to embark on the therapeutic journey can be both frightening and exciting, and is certainly is always brave. Being willing to ask for support, to be with the thoughts and feelings that are present, and to dive into the past may feel incredibly vulnerable, but doing these things with a trusted and skilled clinician can transform the ways we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and our world. I aim to create a warm space that feels unconditionally accepting in order for us to work together to better understand yourself and your experiences. I find that this deep work ultimately creates more peace, ease, and fulfillment.

I believe human connection is imperative in healing. As a counselor, I have developed the unique gift of connecting with people of various ages and backgrounds.

I use a highly personalized approach and tailor treatment to each individual while utilizing evidence-based treatment. I have specialized training in EMDR, which I use regularly to successfully treat individuals who experience distress due to past trauma, anxiety, depression and unresolved grief.

The end of the summer/early fall is my favorite time of year. I love the candles, pumpkins, cool air, new school pencils, and preparations for Halloween and the holiday season. For many this can also be a time of new chapters. This new chapter could involve moving, a new relationship, starting a new job, or beginning school again. Regardless of what your new chapter holds, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on where you were this time last year, where you are today, and where you want be next year. Therapy is a wonderful place to reflect on these exact sentiments, and I would be honored to help you do just that.

I specialize in treating trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety,parenting and relationship issues, military issues and personality disorders. I enjoy working with people of all ages, in individual, family and couples counseling and have experience working with military members and their families.
