TRAUMA & PTSD THERAPIES | BROOMFIELD & LONGMONT, CO
A Path Through Trauma and PTSD
Trauma isn't just a memory; it's a wound that influences how you feel, react, and connect in the present. Whether you're dealing with the aftershocks of a single event, trying to untangle complex developmental trauma or seeking therapy for generational trauma, you don't have to manage the weight of the past alone.
Trauma therapy offers specialized, proven methods that go beyond standard talk therapy. It is an active process where you learn to navigate your nervous system, create more adaptive neural pathways (i.e. update your brain), and reclaim control over your story. We’ll work to move you past survival mode and help you start living more freely and fully—in the present.

When you have experienced a traumatic event, it is natural for your mind and body to remain in a protective state, often leading to anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional walls. For many people, traditional therapy feels overwhelming, and the thought of simply "talking about it" can feel more harmful than helpful. That is why trauma informed therapy is essential to healing.
I approach trauma not as a flaw, but as a deep wound that needs careful, dedicated healing. With trauma and PTSD therapy treatment, my goal is to create a consistently safe, calm, and non-judgmental space. A place where you can finally allow yourself to rest and start the repair process. In therapy for trauma, we move forward with your sense of security and consent guiding every single step.
Together, we’ll build a personalized trauma / PTSD treatments therapy to help you move beyond feeling stuck. Focusing on regaining stability and peace, the strategy involves three key components: first, developing reliable tools to manage lingering impacts in the present; next, tending to and reprocessing pain from the past (such as EMDR therapy for PTSD); then, nurturing a renewed sense of hope and capacity for the future.
This is collaborative trauma / PTSD treatment therapy dedicated to helping you strengthen your inner resources and build confidence. Finally, release the grip of trauma and step into a more peaceful, grounded life.
What is Trauma?

The problem with trauma is that it starts when something happens to us, but that’s not where it stops - it changes your brain. Luckily, modern psychological practices are developing innovative ways to heal from trauma that actually work.

Focused Path to Recovery: Therapy to Treat PTSD & Trauma
Trauma therapy isn't about simply talking about the past.
Therapy for PTSD / Trauma is about giving you the tools to reprocess memories and retrain your nervous system. My approach is intentional, compassionate and collaborative, focusing on:
Establishing Safety and Stability: We start by building concrete coping skills to manage anxiety, regulate your emotions, and ground you in the present moment.
Strategic Processing: I utilize evidence-based, trauma informed therapies (like EMDR trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems) to help you heal in a safe, controlled way. A gold-standard in trauma and PTSD therapies EMDR focuses on reprocessing traumatic memories so that they are no longer emotionally activating. IFS focuses on healing the internal relationships between different parts of the self that were burdened by trauma. Combining these two modalities results in powerful treatment for PTSD therapy and deep healing of trauma.
Reclaiming Your Life: We work toward reducing avoidance behaviors, strengthening your relationships, and helping you step back into activities and roles that bring meaning and fulfillment.
