Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Arvada, CO

The choice to begin therapy can feel daunting. Yet, with the right support, the process can also be empowering. Being seen and heard is the first step towards healing. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship issues, trauma , life transitions, family conflict and parenting challenges. I utilize an attachment-based and systemic lens to examine your inner world and work towards shaping a supportive environment for healing and growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you deepen your relationship with yourself, gain copin​g ​s​kills and accomplish your goals.

I work with adults, emerging adults, and teens who are seeking to deepen their awareness of themselves and engage collaboratively in their healing and therapeutic process. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grappling with spirituality, having difficulty integrating mystical or challenging experiences, navigating any kind of life or career transition, having relationship issues, or living with trauma , I am ready to serve you. I can help guide you to a greater awareness of yourself and your issues. Your increased awareness will prepare you to become the more embodied, aligned, and natural you that you are seeking.

The life you dream of dreams of you too. Do experiences of depression and anxiety hold you to a narrative that no longer suits you? Do you feel lost and overwhelmed by the ever-changing external pressures of work, school, and other events that life loves to throw at us? Is your life understimulating, and you find yourself just going through the motions without ever genuinely enjoying the present? Do you want to live a life that feels fulfilling? Do you want to cultivate deeper relationships with others and yourself? Do you want to feel like you have the power to make your wildest dreams come true? You deserve it all

Are you confused about why you are feeling the way you are feeling? Do you wish things were different? Are you feeling disconnected from others or yourself? Current neuroscience and research tells us that about 90 to 95 percent of the way we think, feel, and act is unconscious and automatic. In my practice, I help people understand why they are acting, feeling, and thinking they are so they can begin change their internal reality. I partner with my client’s to educate and empower them to understand themselves better so they can begin to live more intentionally and pursue their passions in meaningful ways.

My approach to therapy allows clients the emotional space to explore their past and present with curiosity and non-judgement (the world could use more of that, am I right?!) to find hope, insight, and wholeheartedness for their future. The people who come to see me are curious to find the root of their pain and begin their unique healing process. I specialize in supporting clients to heal trauma ; meaning difficult experiences that have ignited pain and disconnection. With the word ' trauma ' being so present in recent times, we can explore what this means for you in session!

Autistic Adults want to be understood in a world of neurotypicals. Extreme fight or flight, difficulty connecting to people in social situations, irritability, short term memory loss, developing meaningful relationships, and physical signs of trauma are just a few symptoms you may be experiencing. If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s ok. You’re not alone. You have the courage and bravery within yourself to begin therapy and start living life on YOUR terms again.

Emotions impact and affect the body causing us to hold them on a physical level. I work with the mind-body connection, utilizing mindfulness techniques, Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback, EMDR, breath work, and meditation, viewing the body as a whole to address trauma , depression, anxiety, and life transitions. As a somatic therapist, I combine these techniques to help clients become aware of trauma stored in the body, and work to resolve the trauma and empower the client. I engage the wisdom of the body to heal trauma , depression and anxiety, and move through life transitions by unifying the mind-body connection.

Trauma , by definition, is "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience." Everyone has experienced a traumatic experience at some point. Sometimes we can process those experiences and carry on with our lives without any problem. Sometimes those experiences cause us to feel stuck, have increased anxiety, and irritability, have nightmares and be easily triggered. -It doesn't have to stay that way.- New Foundation Counseling provides trauma -focused therapy to all, regardless of age, gender, race, political or spiritual affiliation. Everyone is welcome. We specialize in working with pre-teens/teens and the LGBTQ+ community/allies..

Welcome! I specialize in working with adult females who are struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma , grief, and addictive patterns. I also provide counseling for teen females who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or identity development. My goal is build trust and create safety to foster the change we are working towards. You might be feeling anxious or depressed, or working to cope with trauma you have experienced. I use therapy techniques including EMDR to help you connect with your authentic self and create a more balanced life.

Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

I believe much of therapy is a journey of coming home to one’s truest self, by both uncovering what has been and cultivating something new. My intention is to ultimately support clients in creating a more connected and deepened relationship with themselves and their lives. Together, we will sit in the space of exploration creating more awareness of the past and present, empowering you with choice for the journey ahead. I approach healing primarily through the following therapeutic models:

We all have times when it might help to have someone to talk with. Having those deep therapeutic conversations can help us make sense of life, break patterns, and to generally improve ourselves and our quality of life. If you've been feeling stressed, down, or overwhelmed, I can help you find your center. I tend to focus on our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves. This creates a foundation for our wellbeing. I create a healing, accepting environment with the ultimate goal of helping you become the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself possible.

It takes courage to ask for help and seek out a therapist. Thank you for stopping by my profile. I believe that it is in relationship with others that we find healing from past and present hurts and that therapy is a wonderful way to make space for this healing. My counseling background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as families. My clients' goals often include wanting to understand why they "do what they do" in their lives and relationships, as well as how they can improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Sometimes, you feel so overwhelmed you wish someone else could step in and live life for you for a while. You're juggling too much and you're worried that if things don't change for you soon, you will hit a breaking point and everything will fall apart around you. The coping skills that have worked for you in the past have stopped working, and now you're wondering if they ever worked that well in the first place. You hope therapy can answer your questions and help you cope. If part of this process for you has been wondering if your anxiety is related to trauma you've experienced in your past, then you have landed in the right place.

There comes a time in life when you need additional support...specifically, professional support from someone who not only has therapeutic experience but also has significant life experience. Over the years, I have helped many people discover real relief, peace, resilience, strength and healing that comes from facing and processing unimaginable pain due to the loss of a loved one, a relationship, trauma or episodes of anxiety. I help people address the "yuk" in their lives and transform their pain as they develop a new life narrative that is full of meaning, perspective and hope. Let me help you discover your better tomorrow!
