Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Denver, CO

As a queer counselor, I look to empower clients to love and embrace their authentic selves. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a plan to manage challenges, make changes, and build skills. I am trained in both CBT and EMDR and use these modalities in coordination with mind-body practices with individuals 12 years of age and up to make long-lasting changes. Additionally, I provide one-time evaluations for GAC (gender-affirming care) and ESA (emotional support animal) letters.

Are you feeling stuck, empty, or disconnected? You may be working harder than necessary because you are fighting against patterns that developed over years. If you find yourself getting stuck in the same patterns, in spite of yourself, there is a way to break free... to have peace about your past and to feel excitement and hope about your future. We all have wisdom and courage within us, but at times, we need help reconnecting with those strengths, and tools to move through difficult issues. If you're committed to breaking the cycle, contact me to take the first step.

I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictions. I'm a real human, and I'll treat you like one. You'll probably cry a bit, laugh a bit more, and feel heard and understood along the way. You'll leave therapy more equipped to manage the crap life can throw at you, and you'll be better able to enjoy your life.

Life leads to many instances where we feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a life transition such as starting a new job, parenting, dealing with illness or the loss of a loved one, having an experience that left you scared or, perhaps something else. As people, we have the ability to heal, grow and transform our lives. Many times the path of healing feels stressful and is easier with the support of a counselor. Despite what our society often tells us; we do not have to bear this weight on our own and I am happy to help.
