Therapist in Boulder CO

Trauma is not just what happens to us—it’s how our minds and bodies respond to overwhelming experiences. Trauma can leave lasting imprints on your nervous system. For some, this develops into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but even without a formal diagnosis, unresolved trauma can affect your everyday life.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals in Boulder, Colorado, offering compassionate care rooted in the latest research on how we heal.

Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Boulder, Colorado
 Evidence-Based Healing for Deep Emotional Wounds

Signs and Symptoms of Trauma & PTSD

Trauma symptoms vary widely, but common experiences may include:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories

  • Nightmares or disturbed sleep

  • Hypervigilance or a constant sense of danger

  • Emotional numbness or detachment

  • Anxiety, panic, or irritability

  • Avoidance of reminders of the trauma

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe

  • Shame, guilt, or self-blame

  • Body-based symptoms like chronic pain or fatigue

    Trauma can also show up in subtle ways—difficulty staying present, feeling disconnected from your body, or struggling in relationships. You are not "too sensitive" or "broken"—you are responding to very real pain in a very human way.

How I Help Clients Heal from Trauma

My trauma therapy practice in Boulder is grounded in evidence-based modalities that support lasting healing by addressing both the mind and body. Trauma is not just a cognitive issue—it lives in the nervous system. That’s why I offer a range of approaches that integrate both talk therapy and somatic (body-based) healing.

Evidence-Based Modalities I Use:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress.

  • Somatic Experiencing & Body-Based Techniques: Helps release stored trauma by gently reconnecting with physical sensations and restoring nervous system balance.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Especially helpful for those who want to understand and shift trauma-related thought patterns.

  • Mindfulness and Grounding Practices: Reconnect you with the present moment and support emotional regulation.

These methods are backed by clinical research and adapted to meet the unique needs of each client, including those with complex trauma (C-PTSD).

You deserve to heal.
