About My Clients
My clients are thoughtful, sensitive adults who have done a lot of inner work but still feel stuck in trauma patterns, anxiety, relational pain, self-abandonment, or nervous-system overwhelm. Many are neurodivergent, women in midlife, spiritually or religiously inclined, or navigating complex family and relationship wounds. I currently have a few reduced-fee EMDR + IFS-informed openings for Colorado clients ready for focused healing work.
My Background and Approach
My background bridges clinical social work, trauma therapy, parts work, neurodiversity, and decades of contemplative practice. I have an MSW and am working toward full clinical licensure in Colorado. I am EMDR-certified, trained at Level 2 in IFS, and draw from attachment, mindfulness, somatics, polyvagal-informed trauma work, hypnotherapy, coaching, and transpersonal psychology. My approach is warm, direct, grounded, and compassionate. I help clients move beyond insight alone and work with the nervous system, memory, protective parts, and relational patterns that keep repeating. I especially enjoy working with sensitive, thoughtful adults; women in midlife; spiritually or religiously inclined clients; neurodivergent clients; and high-achieving, dutiful men in tech or demanding careers who are quietly overwhelmed. I do not pathologize depth, sensitivity, spirituality, or complexity. I help clients build steadiness, self-trust, and a life where they matter too.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people make sense when their stories, nervous systems, relationships, identities, and protective strategies are understood with compassion. Symptoms are often intelligent adaptations that once helped someone survive, belong, succeed, or stay safe. I believe healing is not about becoming a more polished version of someone else. It is about becoming more honest, embodied, connected, and internally free. Good therapy should include warmth, truth, emotional safety, accountability, and respect for each person’s complexity. I am spiritually literate, but I do not believe in bypassing pain, power dynamics, trauma, or real-life needs in the name of growth. I value depth and practicality, devotion and discernment, compassion and boundaries. I believe sensitive, intense, high-functioning, overwhelmed people do not need to be pathologized. They need a place where all of who they are can be welcomed, understood, and helped to heal.
