EMDR Therapists in Glendale, CO

I work with adult clients who are looking for a relational, insight-oriented, and collaborative environment to find resolution to areas of "stuck"ness, trauma, loss, & other wounds that come with being human in this world. I work together with my clients to create a deeper understanding of how our life experiences interact with our nervous system's capacity to help us survive. I utilize relational, neurobiological, & attachment-based approaches to help you move towards resolution, healing, & compassion for yourself. As a clinician, professor, supervisor, author, and presenter, I bring a depth of experience to our work together.

Sometimes we get stuck...in patterns that don't serve us, relationships that don't feel fulfilling, or even stuck with unhelpful thoughts. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, challenges in relationships or life transitions, it can feel difficult to imagine relief. We all have within us the innate capacity to heal from difficult experiences and we deserve to be seen and cared for as our authentic selves. Deciding to explore ways to shift our story and opening up to the possibility of feeling less burdened, is a remarkable step!

Do you ever feel haunted by your past or that depression and anxiety are holding you back from the life that you want? Or want to be happier, improve relationships, feel good about who you are, your parenting, or heal from past trauma? Our work together will help you flourish into a place of clarity and profound healing. The life that you want is not as far away as it seems. My clients say they feel deeply seen and heard and feel better than they ever thought possible. Therapy can be truly transformative with powerful techniques such as EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy. Let's start that journey towards joy together.

I view psychotherapy as a process of exploration and affirmation of one's life path, including the experiences and wisdom gained along this journey. This is just the beginning point for the psychotherapeutic process of healing and identifying one's pathway to continue the journey of personal growth, transformation and achieving balance (mind, body & Spirit). I see my role as a therapist as that of a witness and source of support and knowledge, joining with you to help facilitate the individual process of developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, achieving personal growth and transformation: to create the life you want.

As children, we tend to be optimistic, with hopes and dreams for our future. We dream of becoming astronauts, ballerinas, firemen…and the idea of reaching our goals is as exciting as achieving them. Sometimes, on our way to adulthood, we lose that sense of magic. I hope to be able to help you restore the magic and rekindle your enthusiasm, curiosity, and love for life.

Since 2008, I’ve worked with numerous individuals to help them connect to themselves, to heal, to reach the life they desire, to feel authentic and whole.
