Denver, CO 80227
I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate attachment wounds, childhood trauma, generational trauma, and every day life stressors. I also have experience in working with a variety of mental health issues. Growing up as a Hispanic woman in a mixed family has given me the chance to listen and to learn from many different experiences. Through the stories people have shared with me, along with their challenges, perspectives, and hopes, I’ve come to better appreciate the many ways we each move through the world.

Hi, I'm Kara! My clients are "seekers" who want to live with authenticity through every season of life. Many are helping professionals, longing for expansion beyond an all-encompassing role. I support people in liminal spaces: survivors of relational trauma, IPV/coercive control, infertility, generational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and late-life ADHD diagnoses. My clients want to be seen for the Light they are beyond diagnoses, to view grief and rage as messengers, and to hold what is alongside their own dignity, bringing unconscious patterns into awareness as they find peace and joy amid grief, loss, and disorientation.

I work with individuals recovering from relationship trauma, whether from romantic relationships or childhood experiences. If you're stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, anger, or substances you're using to cope, you're not broken. Your nervous system developed these responses as survival strategies to protect you. A holistic approach recognizes that your healing depends on understanding how your physical health, relationships, work, spirituality, family dynamics, and financial stability all connect. These are pieces of the same story.

Waitlist for new clients
Please note that sessions are almost 100% virtual. My schedule often runs on a waiting list, but availability can shift, so I welcome you to inquire if you’re interested in starting therapy. It isn't always easy to reach outside of ourselves when we are feeling deeply lonely and experiencing extreme emotions. These are precisely the times, though, when it makes sense to try to find people with whom we can talk without too much fear of judgment or rejection. In my role as Therapist, I actively commit to strive to be one of those people; to meet you wherever you are emotionally, in a comfortable, confidential and respectful setting.

Having someone just listen is important, no judgement, just a person who is involved and compassionate about the issues that are important to you. The need to feel heard and understood is often overlooked and a needed part in working through life's toughest moments. The goal of therapy is to find yourself through looking at yourself and building a foundation. This could be the use of coping skills, talk therapy, and setting goals that are important to yourself. Navigating different issues and working through them is often tough enough, having someone guide you and help you through these moments is needed.

Childhood Trauma, Childhood Abuse, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
If you're carrying trauma, struggling with anxiety that won't quiet down, or noticing that your relationships keep hitting the same walls, I want to say this up front: none of it means something is wrong with you. It's your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe. With the right support, it can learn something new. I specialize in helping people who feel stuck, especially those living with the lasting effects of childhood trauma, attachment wounds, or anxiety that shows up in the body and in relationships. A lot of what we do together is reconnecting with the parts of yourself that got lost along the way.

I specialize in psychotherapy and EMDR/EFT for women to address/resolve trauma associated with: Domestic Violence, interpersonal coercion, abuse, victimization; crime victim trauma.
I view psychotherapy as a process of exploration and affirmation of one's life path, including the experiences and wisdom gained along this journey. This is just the beginning point for the psychotherapeutic process of healing and identifying one's pathway to continue the journey of personal growth, transformation and achieving balance (mind, body & Spirit). I see my role as a therapist as that of a witness and source of support and knowledge, joining with you to help facilitate the individual process of developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, achieving personal growth and transformation: to create the life you want.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
