Therapy for trauma in Denver
In-person in Denver • Online in CO, ID & FL
Sound like you?
You look “normal” on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or numb. You’re tired of reacting in ways you don’t understand. Sleep, connection, and even your sense of self feel off. Your body won’t fully relax, and you need support now.
Trauma affects how you feel, think, and move through life.
and it’s not your fault.
Trauma isn’t always about what happened. Sometimes it’s about what never got to happen, such as feeling safe, being heard, or getting comfort when it mattered most. In our work together, there’s room for all of it.
I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where we can move at your pace. You don’t have to explain everything or have the right words. You get to be curious, explore what’s coming up in your body, and learn to trust your inner experience again.
How I can help
Therapy for trauma can help you respond to emotions, not be ruled by them.
Mornings start with a sigh: “Not again.” Everything feels heavy, like moving through wet cement. You’re on edge, exhausted even after rest, or stuck in cycles you can’t explain. People-pleasing leaves you resentful, but you can’t stop. Even small things overwhelm you.
These aren’t flaws but survival strategies your nervous system learned to keep you safe. They still show up, even when no longer needed. Therapy helps you slow down, notice what’s happening inside, and make space for something new. It honors how your body once protected you while helping you use inner resources to heal and feel safe in your own skin again.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you regain your sense of control.
We’ll begin by exploring your experiences and how they shaped your sense of self. Understanding trauma and its impact on mind and body is central, and you’ll have support and information before going deeper.
As trust builds, we may move beyond talk therapy with EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, or somatic methods. Many clients leave more grounded, with fewer PTSD symptoms, and a renewed connection to themselves and others, returning to work and relationships with greater clarity and authenticity.

You’ll walk away with —
01
Reduced PTSD symptoms and a calmer relationship with your body and mind.

Greater ability to regulate emotions, respond rather than react, and move through stress .

Frequently asked questions —
-
Trauma therapy goes beyond talk. It helps your nervous system feel safe enough to release survival patterns that are no longer serving you. We focus not just on thoughts, but also on how trauma lives in the body and shapes your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Approaches like EMDR and KAP support healing at a deeper level, enforcing lasting change.
-
Not necessarily. Trauma therapy doesn’t require you to retell every detail of what happened. Many approaches, like EMDR, KAP, or body-based work, help you process trauma without revisiting it directly. You’ll always go at your own pace, with support.
-
Trauma can live in the nervous system and body, not just in memory. This can show up as chronic tension, startle responses, trouble relaxing, or feeling disconnected from your body. Trauma therapy often includes somatic (body-based) techniques to support regulation and reconnection.
-
I work with many forms of trauma, including developmental, relationship, and workplace trauma; complex and single-incident PTSD; attachment wounds; childhood emotional neglect; and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.
