Individual and Family Therapy: Let’s do this — It’s time

I offer Individual and Family Therapy for adults who’ve carried more than their fair share — the ones who look capable on the outside but feel anxious and disconnected on the inside.

Many of my clients are high-achieving, sensitive/deeply caring, and are ready to “do the work”. I support people navigating a wide range of challenges, including:

• Complex and Developmental Trauma (CPTSD) — the lasting impact of repeated abuse, neglect, or unstable caregiving during childhood, leaving your nervous system on high alert, emotions intense, and connection to yourself fragile. (Maybe you learned to anticipate outbursts, take care of everyone else first, or keep your feelings hidden to stay safe).

• Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families: Narcissistic Abuse, Scapegoating, Family Estrangement, and Attachment Wounds — the impact of growing up in environments where you weren’t consistently seen or supported. (You may still second-guess yourself or feel responsible for others’ emotions).

• Emotional, Physical, Sexual, or Verbal Abuse — the lingering effects of being hurt by someone who should have offered care.
  (Your body may still anticipate danger, even when you’re safe).

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — the lingering effects of one, or a handful, of overwhelming or life-threatening moment(s) that your body hasn’t fully let go of. (A crash, an assault, a medical event — anything that felt like too much, too fast).

• Anxiety, Chronic Worry, and Burnout — when your mind keeps scanning and your body never quite settles. (You might feel tense, restless, or always “on”).

• Perfectionism, Self-Criticism, People-Pleasing, and Boundary Challenges — patterns that formed to keep you connected or safe, even if they leave you overextended now. (It may feel easier to push through than to say what you need).

• Depression, Grief, and Loss — heaviness, numbness, or changes that make it hard to find energy or direction. (Even simple things can feel like a lot).

• Suicidal Thoughts/Feelings— where everything feels heavy or uncertain, and connection feels risky. (You might feel alone with things that are truly hard to hold).

• Neurodivergence (ADHD/AuDHD) — understanding how your brain works so you can move through life with more self-trust and less pressure.

• Chronic Health Issues, Women’s Health Issues, and Medical Trauma — the emotional and physical toll of long-term health struggles or medical experiences that left your system braced. (Endometriosis, PCOS, cancer, infertility, chronic pain, etc. Maybe you felt dismissed, helpless, or out of control with providers).

• Somatic or Body-Based Trauma Symptoms — tension, pain, or physical reactions that show how your body has carried what you survived.
  (Tightness, stomach issues, or sudden floods of sensation can be part of this).

You may have spent years “managing” your life — keeping it together or shrinking so others don’t notice your cracks. Together, we’ll start to untangle those patterns and reconnect you with your true Self drawing on approaches such as EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Conscious-Living-Based Work, all used via a Nervous System Perspective.

Therapy with me is human first. I combine warmth with clinical experience to provide support that actually meets you where you are. Even when your mind races or your heart feels guarded, this is a place to be seen and heard.

Intake sessions are 90 minutes, allowing us to thoroughly assess your goals, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and begin creating a roadmap for healing.

Regular therapy sessions are 50–55 minutes, providing focused time to process emotions, practice new strategies, and deepen self-awareness in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Family Therapy: I offer in-person or virtual family therapy for clients who are working with me individually and want to do family therapy in addition. I also offer family therapy to clients who come to me just for family sessions.

If you are living in Denver and have family in Texas, I am also licensed in Texas and can facilitate virtual sessions with family members living there.
