Hello!

The trauma we experience shapes how we view and interact with the world. Trauma can leave you feeling unsafe in your daily life, leading to anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties.   Trauma happens when something is too much, too fast, or too overwhelming for your system to process. When that happens, the body and brain’s natural information processing system becomes disrupted.   As a trauma therapist in Colorado trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, I help women and queer clients process PTSD, complex trauma, and attachment trauma in a way that feels safe and empowering. Healing is possible through connection and trauma-informed therapy.

In a world that constantly pressures women to be “better” or “more,” it’s no wonder so many struggle with low self-esteem and body image distress.   Low self-worth can show up as: Feeling not good enough Chronic comparison Perfectionism Disordered behaviors around appearance Powerlessness in relationships   Through somatic therapy and trauma-informed counseling, we can uncover where these beliefs began and create new ways of relating to yourself. You deserve to feel good enough as you are , not just when you achieve, perform, or please.

As a queer therapist, I love working with other queer folks seeking affirming mental health care. Navigating gender identity, sexual orientation, and authenticity can be challenging, especially within systems that create discrimination and marginalization. I provide queer-affirming, trauma-informed therapy that honors your lived experience. ​ Together, we can explore identity, internalized shame, relational patterns, and empowerment so that you can live more fully and authentically as yourself.

Relationships can be complicated, whether with family, friends, or romantic partners.   You may notice: Anxiety when you haven’t heard from someone Avoidance of conflict Codependency Impulsive behavior Difficulty setting boundaries   Through attachment-focused therapy and somatic trauma work, we explore the relational patterns rooted in early attachment experiences. My goal is to help you show up in relationships in a more embodied, secure, and empowered way.

Spirituality can be a powerful part of emotional healing. For some, spirituality means faith in a higher power. For others, it may be yoga, nature, astrology, or connection to something larger than yourself.   If your spirituality has been used against you or you are healing from religious trauma, which is all too common for women and those in the LGBTQ+ community, therapy can be a space to reclaim what feels authentic and safe. I welcome all forms of spirituality in our work together.
