Trauma Therapy in Morrison, CO & across CO, AZ, CT, IL, MA, VA & FL
Heal from the past so you can start enjoying the present.
Not sure if what you went through "counts" as trauma? If you're wondering, it does.
Maybe it was one incident such as a car accident, an assault, or a betrayal by someone you trusted.
Or it could be more like a persistent feeling of not being good enough that sits like a rock in the pit of your stomach.
You might find yourself overreacting to a particular phrase, a slammed door, or your boss's feedback. Maybe you don't like how often you find yourself yelling, crying, or internally berating yourself over things that you know shouldn't be such a big deal.
If something feels off in how you see yourself, your relationships, or the world in a way you can't put your finger on...it's worth paying attention to. You're worth paying attention to.
Trauma doesn't have to look a certain way or start from a certain place to be real.
You don't have to keep reliving it. Let's put it in the past where it belongs.
Imagine hearing that phrase, that door slam, tough feedback from your boss...and not thinking twice about it.
You'll still remember what happened, but it will no longer have a grip on you. You’ll be able to think about it without your body reacting like it’s happening all over again. Because it will be over - finally.
Healing from trauma means finally being able to remember without reliving. It means responding to the present moment rather than reacting based on past experiences.
I use EMDR combined with traditional talk therapy to help your brain fully process what happened so it can stop having a negative impact on your present self and relationships. We'll go at a pace that feels safe for you, never rushing past what needs care. On the other side of this work you'll find you have more ability to trust yourself, feel connected to others, and to experience joy.

Absolutely not. Some sharing is necessary of course, but there is no requirement to talk about all the nitty gritty details unless you want to share them.

Beginning therapy can be intimidating, so my aim is for you to feel better about the fact that you’ve started after the first session! True healing from traumatic experiences takes a varying length of time, from 3 days (in an intensive format) to 3 years or more depending on many factors, which we can discuss more on a consult call.
