Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Northwest, Denver, CO

A person’s vitality and life fulfillment can be enhanced through a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship that enables healing, growth, and change to occur. Being a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist (BC-DMT) specializing in trauma, interpersonal dynamics, addiction, and general mental health for 20 years, I believe that much of our experiences are informed by our past, that our relationships are central to our well being, and that learning to acknowledge and accept all aspects of ourselves creates the potential to reach desired growth and life fulfillment.

Hello! I'm Maggie, I've been practicing therapy for 11 years and hope to help you with any mental health, trauma, and relationship needs. Therapy is often a matter of tipping the first domino. My goal is not to just simply talk about problems and feelings, but to help make lasting positive change from whatever creates barriers in life. I believe in a client centered approach to wellness, providing a variety of talk therapy modalities and other specialties including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Ketamine and other Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy.

Sometimes the first step is the hardest and finding a therapist you connect with can be a vulnerable experience. I hope to use compassion, authenticity, and a little sass to help you navigate that experience. My goal is to help you find new ways to relate to the world and to enable you to embrace your experiences more fully and bravely. I bring in skills from therapies, such as ACT and DBT, to help you find your strengths and develop your resources. And I recognize that the most growth occurs in an authentic relationship which balances compassion with challenge and emphasizes social justice and intersectionality.

You are being held back in daily life by stress, anxiety or past experiences. It is difficult not to worry or constantly be on edge. Strong and terrifying panic sensations in your body feel overwhelming, confusing and frustrating. Fear and discouragement have too strong of a grip on you. Maybe you've experienced a traumatic childhood or recent event that continues to haunt you or cause shame. Yet, you have a sense that there is something better for you and you feel motivated to find freedom. You have decided it is time to address these challenges and unlock a new way of experiencing life and being your true self.

Life can be challenging. What's your story?

I imagine you are looking for a therapist to help you find answers, healing, and understanding. You are likely searching for the root cause of your pain and begin your unique healing journey that builds empowerment and freedom from the experiences of your past. Whether you are carrying burdens or pain from your past, feeling anxious or hopeless about the future, or have difficulty staying present, my intention is to offer a space to share your vulnerability and process the heavy stuff that can be difficult to understand. Every person has the potential to grow towards the healing and wholeness that is already within.

You know you don’t want to keep feeling this way, but nothing you’ve tried seems to help. You are exhausted with constantly battling anxiety- some moments it’s a low hum in the background and other times it’s all you can hear. No matter how many “self care" strategies you’ve tried, you still feel unsettled. You know another way of living is possible, but you’re unsure how to access this. Together, we’ll identify what’s not working in your life, and create a picture of the life you want to inhabit. We’ll explore how your past contributes to the person you are today and we’ll use this insight to inform decisions for your present life.

Sometimes our inner world seems chaotic and stressful. Sometimes we feel like we are going through life surrounded by a fog and can’t see a way out. Sometimes we experience something so significant that our life is turned upside down and we have a hard time coping. Regardless of what you are experiencing right now, it does not reflect anything about your worth and you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide opportunities for you to work through the challenges of life while reconnecting with your authentic self and embracing your inner-knowing.

Are you struggling with your day-to-day stressors in this difficult world? Are you looking for a private and safe way to work through difficult emotions, past trauma, or life transitions with someone who can understand you and all that weighs on your shoulders? Do you, like my clients, want to work towards reducing your anxiety, managing your negative thoughts, and exploring ways to enhance the connection in your relationships? We face a world of growing stresses, unrest, and perfectionist expectations, but we don't have to go through it alone.

Have you had a recent transition or life events lately that feels like it has thrown you or your relationship off? In my work I strive to think about the best ways to support big transitions (whether that is a break up, divorce, trauma or having a baby) that can make you feel a loss of control. I can help you ground back into yourself, find your most authentic self and support you in building a skill set for future life challenges. Also, if you have just had a baby and are experiencing the transition to motherhood as different than what was expected or then is portrayed as on social media, I can help support you.
