Individual Therapy for Trauma, Grief and Personal Growth

You may know a lot about yourself already and still feel stuck in reactions, relationships, or patterns that do not make sense for the life you want now.

Sometimes the connection to the past is obvious. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, disconnection, difficulty trusting yourself, or the sense that certain situations affect you much more than they should.

This work is about getting underneath those reactions instead of spending session after session talking about them.

I help adults who are tired of old reactions, family history, and relationship patterns running so much of their lives, so they can trust themselves more, have more flexibility in relationships, and more say in what happens next.

Specialized Support for Trauma, Loss, and Personal Growth

• Family trauma and estrangement
  Childhood emotional neglect, parentification, sibling abuse, parental addiction, estrangement, and family betrayal.

• Traumatic and complicated grief
  Grief after ambiguous, conflicted, or estranged relationships; sudden or unexpected loss; and losses involving suicide, overdose, homicide, or other traumatic circumstances.

• Trauma after betrayal or abuse
  Childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, coercive or psychologically abusive relationships, being disbelieved, failure to protect, and family betrayal.

• Personal growth and life transitions
  Long-standing patterns, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship concerns, identity shifts, and major life transitions that bring old questions or reactions back to the surface.

What to Expect in Sessions

Sessions are active and experiential. We identify what is keeping the problem in place and work directly with the memories, emotions, beliefs, body responses, and protective reactions connected to it.

There is enough structure to keep the work moving and enough flexibility to respond to what is actually happening in the moment.

The goal is not simply to understand why you feel or react this way. It is to have more choice in what happens next.

All sessions are held via secure telehealth and are available to clients throughout Colorado.
