I work with clients via telehealth across Colorado. I am a trauma specialist and help adults with:
In other words, I work with people who have had less-than-ideal relationships with parents, partners, or others. The wounds created by these harmful relationships lead to ongoing relationship issues like not speaking up for yourself or trying to keep people around by prioritizing them at the expense of yourself.
When most people hear “trauma”, they may think of war tragedies or physical abuse, but there are other forms of trauma that are just as harmful. For example, complex trauma happens over a long period of time rather than over one clearly defined event, and tends to be emotional rather than physical. Due to the obscure nature of it, complex trauma often goes unrecognized or minimized, even by therapists.
I am here to help those who have been overlooked or have fallen through the cracks of the mental health system because their trauma is harder to identify. If this is you, I see you, and I believe your pain is legitimate and enough. You deserve better.
With more than five years of experience, I help clients resolve trauma symptoms — including feeling like you're a burden, emotional flashbacks, and struggling to ask for help. In our work together, I will help you feel more relaxed in your relationships, more secure in your wants and needs, and more willing to ask for help when you need it.
