Trauma is any experience that negatively changes how you see yourself, others, or the world. With that definition in mind, trauma is very specific to you and it has nothing to do with being "weak" or "strong." It's your nervous system trying to figure out how to stay safe. Sometimes the strategies it developed were the best available at the time, even when they're no longer serving you. Healing doesn't mean becoming someone different. It means building a foundation your nervous system can trust so that being out in the world feels less like exposure and more like choice. That's feeling comfortable inside and outside of your shell

Based in Conifer, Colorado, I offer EMDR, somatic therapy, ACT, CBT, DBT, ERP for OCD, psychedelic integration, and licensed
My ideal clients are people who have tried to push through — and finally decided they deserve real support. They are first responders, SANE nurses, military personnel, and healthcare workers carrying the invisible weight of what they witness every day. They are trauma survivors who have done therapy before but felt like something was always just out of reach. They are people living with anxiety that won't quiet, depression that won't lift, or PTSD that keeps rewriting their present. They come to Soul Yoga Counseling because they want more than coping strategies. They want to actually heal at the root, not just the surface.

Grounded in an understanding of neuroscience, I integrate somatic psychology, EMDR, mindfulness, Gestalt, parts work & creative exploration.
Healing is rarely linear; it’s a journey of stops & starts that uncovers, examines, experiments with & integrates our experiences. You may be someone who has done deep inner work and spent years in therapy, or you may also be new to therapy & simply noticing that anxiety, low mood, or shutdown are getting in the way of how you want to live. You might understand why these patterns exist, or you may just know that your body feels tense, overwhelmed, or disconnected. When insight alone hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for, we gently shift toward safety and nervous system regulation, allowing your innate capacity to heal to emerge.

You’re juggling a lot—maybe work, school, family, or just trying to keep your head above water. You show up for everyone else but haven’t had space to focus on yourself. Things like anxiety, burnout, past trauma, or grief keep piling up, and it’s hard to know where to start. You’re not looking for a quick fix—you just want to feel understood, supported, and like you’re actually making progress toward feeling better.

I believe one of the most meaningful things you can do is begin to understand your own story and how it shows up in the present moment. However, life's demands often get in the way of the understanding and change you desire. Perhaps you feel like you're constantly "doing the work," yet still stuck in the same cycles, disconnected from yourself or others. Life can feel like a collection of pressures from relationships, jobs, and our own internal expectations, leaving us exhausted and misunderstood. Maintaining appearances can be hard, especially when deep down you're struggling to understand why everything feels so heavy.

Before starting his own business, Tim provided mental health and addiction counseling to individuals and groups. Most of his time was spent serving forensic clients, who were state-mandated to inpatient rehabilitation for a history of felony convictions and serious drug use. Many of them had dual diagnoses (mental health issues coinciding with their substance use). Trauma work is probably the most personally rewarding aspect of Tim’s job. He has seen clients drastically improve over their time together: becoming brighter, lighter, fuller versions of themselves.

Mindfulness and somatic work help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom rather than against it.
The experiences we go through—whether trauma, loss, or major life changes—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Sometimes, these experiences leave us feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles without fully understanding why. Our minds and bodies adapt to protect us, but over time, these protective responses can make it harder to trust ourselves, connect with others, or feel a sense of meaning and purpose. Therapy can help untangle these patterns, offering a space to process, heal, and move forward in a way that feels more aligned with who you are.

I combine IFS, EMDR, and somatic work with practical executive-function support, like breaking tasks into steps and building routines that fit your brain.
You know exactly what needs doing. You just can't make yourself start. Maybe you've tried planners, apps, and body doubling, and the shame after each false start is worse than the task. I work with adults and couples with ADHD and anxiety. Many are capable, exhausted, and tired of pushing through on willpower. Couples often get stuck in the same argument about who dropped the ball. In session we slow down and look at what happens in your body and your relationship when a task feels impossible, then build support around that.

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained, you’re not alone—and you’re not the problem. I help with adults, couples and teens who are stuck in the same patterns in anxiety, relationships, or within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface at trauma, attachment, and internal conflict so change actually holds. My goal is for you to feel more grounded, more self-led, and more steady in how you move through life.

Most people don't talk about what it actually feels like when nothing stays still long enough to hold onto. The transitions keep coming before the last thing has even settled. And underneath it all, the unresolved weight hits like aftershocks, just when you thought the ground had finally stopped moving. After awhile, all of that shaking can leave you with a blurry sense of yourself. A cycle of dread, anger, sadness, and loneliness you can't seem to get out of. I work with teens and young adults caught in that cycle, especially those navigating LGBTQIA+ identity, bicultural or BIPOC experience, neurodivergence, and life transitions.

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.
