AEDP Therapists in Denver, CO
I believe that curiosity heals, that healing comes from approaching our lives with greater openness and non-judgement. I work with adults desiring support for complex trauma (CPTSD), relationship issues, chronic illness, anxiety, and career therapy. Using a caring, direct approach, I support clients to gain deeper understanding of themself, increase emotional regulation, & use more effective conflict management strategies. I believe that our world often makes it seem like we need to be fixed when really we need trust, connection, and tools to cultivate desired change within ourselves and our relationships.

From the outside, it looks like you have it all together. You manage a full plate and somehow make it look easy. But inside, you’re worn out—constantly 'doing' and still feeling like it’s not enough. Your mind is in overdrive, stuck in a loop of replaying conversations, planning 5 steps ahead, and trying to make sure everyone else is okay. You’re the dependable one, yet asking for help feels burdensome. If you’re a perfectionist, a people-pleaser, or just tired of performing - let's find rest together. Therapy can help you understand and change the patterns that keep you stuck, and move you toward a place of confidence and peace.

I have formal training in EMDR, AEDP, parts work, and mindfulness-based therapies.
I work with individual adults on issues related to anxiety, stress, relationships, perfectionism, and traumatic experiences. Sometimes change is a choice, and other times we are blindsided by life. Regardless of what leads to a shift for you, having a compassionate ally on the journey can make all the difference. I’m not immune to struggle or disappointment in my own life, and see my work as part change expert and part companion. Simply another human being coming alongside you to help you process, make peace with, or initiate steps towards a bigger transition that leads to less suffering, and more joy.

An authentic sense of connection within our close relationships, our communities, and to what gives our lives meaning is vital. As a somatic therapist, I work with clients to rebuild that sense of connection first by relating to our own bodies. I support clients in accessing mind-body coherence through nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and the gentle navigation of how trauma lives in the body. I work with individuals of all identities, with a focus on queer and femme folks, and always bring a social justice lens to help clients reclaim agency, feel more at home in their bodies, and show up more fully in their lives.

I am in the process of doing continued training in attachment-based approaches to therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples work and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy ( AEDP) for individuals.
There is something that happens when we let someone in. The belief that ‘I am alone and will never be understood’ feels less rock solid and it is in this new place that healing can happen. Maybe you feel lost amidst change or grief. Perhaps your relationship with sex and your body has become complicated or you are feeling distant from yourself or your partner. My hope for the people I work with is that they believe in their capacity to change and evolve. We all get stuck and struggle at times to believe that life can be different, especially when life in the present feels difficult and hopeless.

Through somatic, attachment-focused, relational approaches like AEDP, EMDR, and inner-child therapy, we’re able to re-wire your brain and nervous system, ultimately helping you move through past trauma that is keeping you stuck today.
As a trauma therapist, I help adults with anxiety, OCD and PTSD heal their inner child, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate safe, connected relationships. Many of my clients grew up in homes where their emotions and needs were disregarded or deemed to be “too much” for their parents to hold space for. As adults, they often struggle with cycles of shame, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety that keep them in a constant state of self-preservation, causing disconnection from themselves, their bodies, and the people closest to them.

There are seasons in our lives that feel especially challenging. Sometimes the sources of distress are clear; other times we may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things no longer feel manageable. During these periods, anxiety may intensify, hope can feel distant, thoughts may become intrusive, and relationships may feel strained. Therapy offers a supportive, relational space grounded in safety and attunement, where we can make sense of these experiences together, build capacity and skills, and gently shift long-standing patterns.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
