Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Estes Park, CO

Hi there! You have a story to tell, and I'd be honored to listen. Life is messy; full of positive moments and full of stress, isolation, anxiety, disconnection, and loss. I truly believe counseling is a powerful and courageous place to find healing and belongingness to yourself and the people you love most. Together, we'll get curious about your experience in order to enrich your life.

Have you ever found yourself wondering who you are? Why you are the way that you are? I like to think of therapy as a place for self-discovery. I'm here to orient and support you during your journey of answering those questions that come from within. Those that might be too scary or confusing to try to answer on your own. My goal is to help you gain insight, self-knowledge, self-awareness, and develop the coping mechanisms you need to manage life stressors effectively. Therapeutic processes are a lot like rollercoasters: You don't know what your experience will be like until you give it a shot.

You are unlike any other being that exists. You are a creative force. You go against the grain and it might feel like you don't fit in. Society has tried to box you in for so long that you've pushed away and hidden little parts of your soul. You may have numbed your feelings and ignored your heart's desires as a trade for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy. I understand, because I've been there too, but this is what I know for sure. Our soul is crying out for true freedom.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church you were raised in. Or perhaps you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could just move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or ADHD, and are feeling like you just can’t catch a break. You’re overwhelmed, constantly on edge, and making it through each day is like running a marathon that you were unable to train for. Dealing with all of this inside of you makes you feel so alone, believing that no one understands how you’re feeling. I work best with those of you who are experiencing work-related stress and relationship issues, as a result of feeling down, swamped, stressed out, or too scattered. What you want to get from therapy is understanding and solid solutions for getting back to your "normal" self.

I tend to work best with clients who are eager to do some deeper or longer-term work. I'm a sensitive guy myself so I also tend to work well with people who are more sensitive in nature. I specialize in helping with attachment trauma, life transitions, religious trauma, addictions, as well as anxiety and depression. I help people learn about their emotions and the brain and then use that information to our advantage in sessions. A lot of the time that looks like simply creating

Hi! :) I frequently work with women who are trying to leave or have recently left an abusive relationship. You might notice you want to find independence and discover your identity outside of the relationship and are still impacted by the pain you went through. We will explore attachment wounds, trauma(s), and/or other emotional burdens that need attention and relief. We will work together to help you find ways to move forward with your life in a new, healthier direction. I also work with folks who have unresolved childhood trauma and notice symptoms of discomfort that they are ready to leave in the past.

Now Accepting NEW Clients. I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understand the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic and borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.

I love working with folx who are ready to do the work, but find that traditional talk therapy methods have not gotten them as deep as they'd like to go. I especially love helping individuals get clear on the root cause of their stuckness. I have found there is something very healing about exploring your past together, while ensuring you feel seen and heard. Together we can shift existing paradigms and old belief systems to form new narratives that feel authentic, holistic, and uniquely you by tending to your needs with lots of compassion and zero judgment.
