Somatic Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying anxiety, past trauma, or emotional pain on your own for so long. You might feel stuck in patterns, unsure how to move forward, or simply exhausted from trying to manage it all. You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to process your experiences, better understand yourself, and begin creating meaningful change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

In 1986, I initially started working in this field as an undergraduate student at the University of Utah where I began an internship with Salt Lake County Youth Services as a youth counselor. In 1992, my wife son and I moved to Denver, Colorado and I have been gaining experience in areas of the Mental Health field since eventually landing here at my private practice located in Colorado Springs, CO in 2019.

I use powerful somatic methods (including IFS & EMDR) to help you resolve thoughts, emotions and physical reactions.
Although I have specialized training and experience in several specialty areas (trauma, IFS, EMDR, hypnosis), therapy is not only about techniques. It's also about how we form a partnership to address your concerns and accomplish your goals. We work together to help you learn/develop tools and solutions, including many you can immediately use on your own.

I help adults who’ve already done the work in therapy but still feel pulled back into familiar emotional patterns. Together, we uncover what’s driving those reactions and transform old patterns into clarity, calm, and confidence.
You might notice yourself replaying the past: overthinking every conversation, apologizing for existing, or shutting down when things get close. Part of you wants to move forward, but another part keeps pulling you back. That tug-of-war can be confusing and lonely, but it’s not impossible to untangle.

My goal is not to make you forget your past or the people in your past but to help you make those experiences a healthy part of your future life. The past should be something we can live with, a place to start and build a better tomorrow. I believe you are the key healing.

I integrate a holistic approach to healing and growth, often using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), somatic therapy, psychodrama, and behavioral modalities.
Trauma can deeply shape our lives, leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the life we long for. Many of us carry patterns shaped by early experiences and environments we had to adapt to. These adaptations can be lifesaving, but over time they can leave us feeling stuck or broken. I work with adults ready to recalibrate these responses through a mind-body, trauma-informed lens. I believe healing is not about repairing what is broken, but reclaiming the wholeness of who we are. I commonly support individuals with complex trauma, anxiety, ADHD, grief, victims of abuse, life transitions, and third-culture identity.

Each person has a story. Every story is valuable. Some stories are told in public with pride and fanfare, and others are held in private and sometimes never told. They affect what makes you who you are, or who you want to become. Sometimes difficulties, trauma, or setbacks that you have experienced in life have taught you to see the world or react to the world in a certain way. I believe that it’s possible to reframe that thinking over time and become a person that is truly healthy and happy. I love to see where people are in their story and help them set goals to get to where they want, become their best self, and find their light.

Life can be meaningful and exciting, but circumstances and choices often cause problems that seem so complex there appears no way out. Though most people know deep down what they need, it sometimes takes another person to help them figure out what steps to take.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
