About My Clients
I work with adults carrying complex trauma: the kind that built up over years inside family systems, relationships, and the ongoing experience of not being fully safe to be yourself. A lot of the people I see already understand what happened to them. They can name the patterns. What's harder is that the understanding hasn't changed how things feel, or how they respond when something old gets triggered. That gap between insight and relief is where the work I do tends to live.
My Background and Approach
My primary approaches are EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). EMDR helps the nervous system finish processing what it's been holding, without requiring you to retell everything in detail. IFS offers a respectful way to get to know the parts of you that developed to keep you safe. For complex and relational trauma, I use both together so that the protective parts of you have a say so that they can allow the work to happen. I specialize in queer and trans affirming care, and that work is personal to me. If your experience sits at the intersection of identity and trauma, you don't have to explain it from the beginning. We can get to the actual work. I'm also neurodivergent-affirming, and many of the people I work with are navigating ADHD, autism, or late identification alongside trauma. I see clients in person in Denver and via telehealth throughout Colorado. A free consultation is the first step: no forms, no commitments, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I wholeheartedly believe that LGBTQIA+ folks deserve excellent counseling support in spaces where it's safe to bring our full selves to light. Therapy is a place and experience where we can grieve and heal trauma, understand and develop our relationships with loved ones and community, and each create a healthy relationship with ourselves- one where relentless inner critics can transform into wise and compassionate friends. What healing work might you be able to do in a space where you feel safe?
