Somatic Therapy & PTSD/ Trauma Therapy in Denver, Colorado
Helping you reclaim your voice, and finally feel at home in your skin.
Offering online (no in-person) somatic therapy in Denver, Colorado for trauma, including complex and relational trauma (CPTSD), childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and sexual assault, as well as therapy for eating disorders and chronic pain management.
I know what you’re going through…
You’re tired of feeling trapped in your own mind, overthinking every little thing.
You feel burnt out and stuck in a pattern of saying yes, though you desperately want to say no.
You shut down in the face of * any * amount of conflict, even if it’s just saying you’d rather have Thai for lunch.
You bite your tongue when something upsets you, and the idea of bringing it up sends you into an anxious spiral.
Not to mention, your body is constantly tense, and you even struggle with chronic pain.
… And it feels like the only way to manage it all is by staying quiet, or using food to cope.
You’re ready to find sweet sweet relief, and I can help.
Hi, I’m Martha, and I’m here for you.
I’m a somatic pain and trauma therapist, fellow trauma survivor, and imperfect human. I help people speak up and live authentically, just as I’ve learned to do myself.
You don’t need more willpower, you just need the right support that helps your body actually feel safe. These patterns didn’t come out of nowhere: you’ve been conditioned to be agreeable, stay quiet, and keep your needs tucked away, because that was safer than being authentic.
But you aren’t stuck like this, I promise. By working with your nervous system, you’ll be able to feel confident in who you truly are, and approach conflict without spiraling.
A little bit about how I work: I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and smiles; I give feedback, ask challenging questions, and gently interrupt when it feels important to guide the process forward. I work best with people who don’t expect a quick fix and want real change, not just a buddy they pay to talk to.
Imagine…
only saying yes when you really mean it,
feeling comfortable being yourself, even if that disappoints others,
figuring out what you really want and saying it with ease,
feeling relaxed and present,
and effortlessly confronting conflict.
With my help, that’s what life could look like.
NO MORE defaulting to what others want.
NO MORE freezing up and giving in.
NO MORE overthinking or questioning yourself.
NO MORE feeling trapped in a cycle of saying yes and resenting it.
NO MORE constantly feeling tense and on edge.
With my support, you’ll be speaking up sooner than you ever thought possible, and feeling free to be yourself without a filter.
Want to have a path forward instead of going down late night rabbit holes on Reddit, and trying to figure it all out on your own?
If you want to get a feel for how I talk, take a gander at this podcast I was featured on. I talk about somatic therapy and what nervous system regulation actually means (episode 13).

Therapy Immersives
If you feel stuck or don’t have time for long-term therapy but you want to create meaningful change quickly, therapy immersives offer a focused way to dive deep into what’s holding you back. These sessions are designed to help you break through long-standing challenges, gain clarity, and leave with tools you can immediately apply to your life — all in a shorter amount of time than traditional therapy.

PTSD and Trauma Therapy
You hesitate to label it trauma because no one physically hurt you, but you feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or shutting down, no matter how much you try to change. The weight of past experiences has left you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are, and you’re ready to not freak out every time you receive a punctuation-less text.

Chronic Pain Therapy
You’ve tried everything—medications, doctor visits, massage, you name it—but nothing brings lasting relief. Chronic pain can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when tied to past trauma. Using somatic techniques, I help clients gently uncover the root causes of their pain, finding relief from within and reconnecting with ease in their bodies. You don’t have to do this alone—there’s hope.

Self-Esteem Therapy
Other people would say they’re impressed by you and you get regular praise from your boss for going “above and beyond”, yet it never feels like enough. You want to walk into a room without immediately retreating to the back corner, and to not hide behind your constantly slouched shoulders. Learn how to let go of self-doubt, tap into your self-worth, and start embracing who you truly are.

Eating Disorder Meal Support
You’ve spent years in eating disorder therapy or programs but still feel stuck at mealtimes—freezing up, overwhelmed by guilt or fear, or overthinking every bite. In these immersive sessions, we’ll go beyond talking about food to practicing it together. You’ll have support to navigate tough moments, and make meals feel less like a battle and more like care. This is your space to create real, lasting change.

Nervous System Resets
You’ve been wanting to ask for help, but the thought of opening up to a random person feels overwhelming. A nervous system reset could be the perfect starting point. Using somatic techniques like deep breathing, grounding, and gentle movement, it helps shift your body into a relaxed state of safety. It’s a gentle way to feel more balanced and calm without the pressure of weekly therapy sessions.

Somatic Therapy Approach
You’ve tried talk therapy, and understand your problems, but still feel like they’re running your life. That’s where somatic therapy with me can make a difference. Instead of just talking, we’ll work with your body to release the patterns of stress and tension that keep you stuck. Using gentle techniques like breathwork and grounding, we’ll help you feel safer, more connected, and ready to heal from the inside out.

Eating Disorder Therapy
You hesitate to call it an eating disorder because you’ve managed to “hold it together,” but food still takes up too much space in your mind, no matter how hard you try to control it. The weight of constant preoccupation leaves you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or ashamed of your body, and you’re ready to not spiral every time you eat something off-plan.
Virtual therapy (no in-person).
Therapy, but make it cozy & convenient
At the moment, my practice offers exclusively online therapy. Online therapy provides a comfortable, flexible way to do deep, effective somatic work without sacrificing quality or connection. You can meet from a space where your body already feels more at ease—home, a quiet room, or another private setting—which often supports faster nervous system settling and deeper awareness. Somatic therapy translates seamlessly online because it’s guided by presence, pacing, and attention to your internal experience, not physical proximity. With secure, confidential sessions and an approach that adapts well to the virtual space, online therapy provides a grounded, supportive container for meaningful, lasting change.
