While Marriage and Family Therapists are licensed to treat all mental health concerns and diagnoses, it's important for you to find a therapist who feels comfortable and capable when it comes to your reason for therapy. Read more about my areas of expertise below.
If you're a resident of Colorado or Texas and looking for trauma therapy, you're in the right place! I provide all services via a HIPAA compliant online platform so you can participate in therapy from a place you feel most at home at a time that suits your needs.
Surviving sexual abuse can deeply impact every area of life—emotional well-being, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety. In therapy, healing begins with a safe, trusting relationship where survivors are met with compassion, respect, and care. My trauma-informed approach will recognize the complex effects of abuse. We will move at your pace, honoring your voice and autonomy throughout the healing process.
Treatment often involves helping clients gently process painful memories, reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress, and rebuild a connection to their body and emotions. I integrate evidence-based methods such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), narrative therapy, and parts work (such as Internal Family Systems) to support healing from both emotional and physiological trauma responses.
Therapy also addresses the ongoing impact of trauma, such as difficulties with trust, intimacy, and boundaries. As a marriage and family therapist, I also support clients in navigating how trauma may affect their relationships and family systems, helping create a path toward healthy connection and emotional resilience.
Healing from sexual abuse is possible. You don’t have to carry this alone.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy that helps people heal from painful memories and trauma. When something overwhelming happens, your brain can get “stuck,” leaving you with distressing thoughts, emotions, or body sensations long after the event is over.
EMDR helps the brain process those memories in a safe, structured way—so they lose their emotional charge and stop interfering with your life. During EMDR, you’ll focus on specific memories while using gentle back-and-forth eye movements, sounds, or taps to help your brain reprocess what happened.
You don’t have to talk in detail about the trauma unless you want to. Many clients find EMDR to be a powerful, effective way to heal at their own pace.
Anxiety and depression can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face them alone. Marriage and Family Therapy looks at how your relationships, environment, and life experiences may be connected to what you’re feeling. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we will work together to understand the bigger picture of your emotional well-being.
In therapy, you’ll learn practical tools to manage anxiety and lift depression—like calming your nervous system, shifting negative thought patterns, and improving communication. We may also explore how family dynamics, past experiences, or current stressors are affecting your mood and self-esteem.
Whether you come to therapy as an individual, couple, or family, we will work to create space for healing within relationships. As we work together, the goal is not just relief from symptoms, but a stronger sense of connection, purpose, and resilience in your daily life.
Change—whether expected or not—can stir up stress, uncertainty, and conflict. Big life transitions like moving, changing careers, new family members, divorce, or loss can shake our sense of identity, security, and connection. Therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these turning points with clarity and compassion.
Whether you’re an adult facing challenges in your relationship, feeling stuck in a pattern, or adjusting to a new phase of life, or a teen struggling with family tension, friendship drama, breakups, school stress, or just feeling stuck, therapy helps you make sense of your thoughts and emotions to move forward with greater intention. Together, we explore how your relationships, past experiences, and emotional responses are influencing the present.
Through open dialogue, skill-building, and insight, therapy helps individuals, couples, and families find healthier ways to communicate, reconnect, and adapt to change—so you can grow through life’s transitions, not just get through them.
