Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Northwest, Denver, CO

Life offers us all challenges, and sometimes those challenges may seem unbearable or especially unique. Some of us experience difficulties from the time we are little children- trauma, abuse, neglect. We each have unique abilities and strengths. Sometimes, we have trouble accessing our strengths, but you have gifts in your being that are your gifts and strengths alone. My goal in working with you is to act as a catalyst -to encourage you to find your talents, abilities, and strengths that will serve you in coping with whatever difficulty life has given you.

Are you struggling with the effects of trauma, grief, loss, or stigma or are your relationships struggling? What would your life be like a year from now if you were still struggling without improvement or attempting to heal? Wouldn’t it be better to start the healing process now? How might your life be better?

Many of my clients seek therapy to improve their relationships with themselves, their partner, and their loved ones. I specifically work with individuals and partners around experiences of trauma, depression, PTSD, anxiety, work stress, parenting stress, relationship and sexual intimacy challenges, affairs, break-ups, addiction and/or other major life transitions. I work with folks in monogamous and consensual non-monogamous relationships. In addition to counseling, I have a background in business operations and enjoy working with entrepreneurs and executives that want to improve their personal and professional lives.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be, I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable. My clients often laugh as much as they cry or express anger, and I think that's important in the business of healing. What do you want to heal? Is there something about your relationship with a loved one that feels uncomfortable or unsafe? Do you need a non-judgmental space to help you figure out what you want or who you are?

Finding the right words at the right time in relationships is tricky. Sometimes in the middle of an argument, when it matters most, words just aren’t there or they come out all wrong. You may find yourself freezing in panic or fleeing to the other room to prevent saying something you don’t mean. Sometimes, the fear of repeating past experiences paralyzes and it’s really hard to imagine ever getting past those memories. For some, you might be on the other side of the argument, saying things out of exasperation that you regret later on. Relationships are hard! And it's painful getting stuck.

Do you want to live life with more openness, lightheartedness and less struggle? Has traditional talk therapy just not worked for you? Do you feel stuck and don’t know what else to do?

Deciding to reach out to a therapist can be difficult, but it can be a positive step in helping you to overcome the obstacles in your life, to relieve your emotional suffering, and to help you recover an inner sense of confidence and the resilience to move forward. Through our therapeutic relationship, we can develop an understanding together of the roots of your struggles and how therapy can help you undo any negative narratives and coping strategies to help you relieve symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationships, and other issues and find a path towards more wellbeing and fulfillment.

My most important task as a therapist is to help clients recognize their own resiliency and capacity for growth and change. I specialize in working with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults who are facing major life transitions, struggling in interpersonal relationships, and overcoming trauma. I have nearly a decade of experience as a therapist and I offer individual psychotherapy, EMDR, and art therapy to clients in Colorado and Florida. Whether it's your first time in a therapist's office or you've been therapy for years, you are welcome here.

I believe that the connection between your mind and body offers a potent foundation for healing and wellness. Learning to accept and value all of the feelings you experience can bring you into a greater alignment with your intuition providing a life with more vitality and presence. I work in a holistic way where I walk along side you while you find a deeper connection to yourself allowing for a more embodied way of being.

Are you having a past trauma flare-up? Finding yourself using your superpowers to be awesome at work but then annoyed and snapping at your partner? Are you cool, calm, collected for everyone else when they have a problem but not able to ask for what you need? Feeling on edge, body numb, but when you check out the real details of the situation you know you are reacting to old events? Maybe you have even talked about some of this in therapy before and understand what’s happening but you are still flying into over protection mode before you even know it’s happening. I’m here for you.

I am a mindfulness based therapist, passionate about interweaving multiple healing modalities for more holistic healing from trauma, anxiety, and grief, among other things. Many of us have wounds from our past or present that hold power over us. I aim to help my clients build skills to reconnect with their mind, body, and life, so they are equip to give attention to those wounds. We will work together to identify these sore points and untangle from the power they hold, so you can move closer to a value driven life.

Together we will work on breaking the cycle you are stuck in and empower you to create a future unburdened by your past.

Counseling can be the first step for many to start making a positive change for the rest of their lives. I currently perform individual and family counseling to children, adolescents and young adults. I specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety and/or depression.

My treatment addresses challenges with depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, multicultural issues, family concerns, anger and behavioral management, and trauma for individuals 10 years and older.

Hello! Thank you for your interest in my practice. People who typically seek out somatic therapy are those who are interested in the body/ mind connection. Becoming more aware of your present moment experience can help alleviate negative thought patterns, trauma responses, and relieve anxiety and depression. Somatic therapy can help you cultivate deeper self-awareness and help you stop negative cycles and release trauma that is stuck in the body. If you experience anxiety or depression somatic therapy, EMDR, and breathwork can help release old patterns that are no longer serving you.
