Tell me if this sounds familiar?

“I’ve been feeling the weight of stuff that I just can’t seem to shake. There are times when I am good, and other times, just one thing will set me off, taking me back to where I don’t want to be. I want to trust others, but deep down, I know there is the potential to get hurt just around the corner.”

Areas You’re Hoping to Work Through

• Overwhelming Memories or Flashbacks: Sometimes past experiences pop up out of nowhere and make it hard to feel safe or stay present.

• Old Family Wounds: Growing up around chaos or hurt still affects how I see myself and others today.

• The Weight of Service: My time in the military or as a first responder left emotional scars I don’t always talk about.

• Loss and Big Life Changes: Grief or sudden changes have left me feeling unsteady and unsure how to move forward.

• Broken Trust: Being hurt by people close to me has made it hard to open up or feel secure in relationships.

• Pregnancy or Birth Loss: A miscarriage or difficult birth experience still lingers and needs space to be acknowledged.

• Feeling On Edge or Shut Down: My body sometimes reacts with panic or numbness, and I want to feel in control again.

How I Can Help

I’m here to be a steady, supportive presence while you sort through what’s weighing on you. You don’t have to dive into every detail right away, and you won’t be pushed to share anything you’re not ready for.

We can start small—talking about what life looks like for you today, what feels heavy, and what might make things a little easier. I’ll offer understanding, honest feedback when you want it, and practical ideas for handling tough moments. Some days, that might mean talking about a specific memory that keeps surfacing. Other days, it could be as simple as finding small steps to help you feel more grounded or hopeful.

Along the way, I draw from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic approaches, and other evidence-based methods—utilizing what will work best for you and adapting to your needs as your journey unfolds.

My goal is to give you a safe, down-to-earth space where you feel heard and respected, and to walk alongside you as you build confidence, strength, and a sense of peace—at your own pace and in your own way.

Trauma-Informed Therapy FAQ’s.

1. What does “trauma-informed” really mean for me?

It means I’ll be treated with respect, choice, and care. I won’t be pushed to share more than I’m ready for. My therapist understands how trauma can shape every part of life and works to prevent retraumatization—creating a space where I can heal safely.

2. I’ve been living with this for years—can therapy still help?

Yes. Healing is possible even if the pain has been part of my story for a long time. Trauma-informed therapy can help me regulate my nervous system, process memories safely, and rebuild trust in myself and others. Over time, I can feel less triggered, more grounded, and more hopeful about my future.

3. How do you work, and how do I get started?

I use EMDR and IFS-informed therapy—approaches designed to process trauma gently and effectively. Sessions move at your pace, and you stay in control of what you share. You can choose in-person counseling in Denver Tech Center or secure telehealth anywhere in Colorado—whatever feels most comfortable. To begin, you can schedule a consultation or reach out by phone or email to talk about your needs.
