Trauma Therapy in Denver

Heal From the Past and Reconnect with Yourself

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck — like no matter how hard you try, you can’t escape old patterns or emotional triggers. You might find yourself on edge, shutting down, or reliving painful memories you wish you could forget. Maybe you’ve learned to keep going by staying busy or disconnected, but deep down, you’re exhausted from just surviving.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Healing is possible. As a trauma therapist in Denver, I help people safely process painful experiences and learn new ways to feel calm, grounded, and in control of their lives.

What Trauma Can Look Like

People come to trauma therapy for many reasons. You might be experiencing:

• Anxiety or panic that feels “out of nowhere”

• Difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships

• Feeling numb, detached, or disconnected from your body

• Sudden emotional outbursts or irritability

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories

• Shame, guilt, or self-blame

• Negative core beliefs about yourself and the world

• Trouble concentrating or feeling “on edge” all the time

You don’t have to have experienced a single “big” event to benefit from trauma therapy. Many people come to therapy after chronic stress, relationship wounds, or ongoing invalidation — experiences that can deeply affect how we see ourselves and relate to others.

What Trauma Therapy Sessions Can Look Like

My approach to trauma therapy is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you as we build trust and stability before diving into deeper processing work.

Depending on your goals, sessions may include:

• EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): An evidence-based method that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less distressing and more resolved.

• Parts Work (Internal Family Systems-Informed): Exploring different “parts” of yourself with compassion and curiosity to understand and heal inner conflict and to connect with your inner child.

• Emotional Regulation & Skill Building: Learning grounding tools, body awareness, and coping skills to manage triggers and feel more in control of your emotions.

• Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Practices: Helping you reconnect with your body and create a kinder, more balanced inner dialogue.

Our sessions are a space for you to feel seen, safe, and supported — not pushed or rushed. Healing happens in connection, and my goal is to help you feel empowered throughout that process.

What Life Can Look Like After Trauma Therapy

Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting what happened — it means freeing yourself from its grip on your present life. After trauma therapy, many people begin to experience a deeper sense of peace and connection with themselves and others. You may find that your body feels safer, your emotions feel more manageable, and your relationships feel more grounded and authentic.

Over time, the hyper-vigilance, shame, or emotional numbness that once dominated your daily life can begin to ease. You might notice that you can enjoy simple moments again — laughter with friends, quiet mornings, or the ability to rest without guilt or fear. Many clients describe a growing sense of strength and clarity — a feeling that they are finally living instead of just surviving.

While healing is not a straight line, therapy can help you build the tools, self-compassion, and resilience to move forward with confidence. There is hope for a future that feels lighter, calmer, and more fully your own. If you’re ready to take that first step toward healing, reaching out is a powerful place to start.
