In Person Trauma Therapy in Colorado Springs.

Working with me in trauma therapy feels grounded, gentle, and focused — a place where your nervous system is respected and your story is listened to without pressure. I blend Brainspotting, mindfulness practices, and other somatic interventions to help you access the parts of your body and nervous system that hold trauma.

Sessions move at your pace: sometimes we track somatic cues and utilize resourcing skills to build safety and capacity, other times we use Brainspotting to access and release stuck emotional material with focused attention and minimal talk. You’ll leave sessions with a clearer awareness of how your past has shaped and impacted your present, as well as practical tools to self-regulate between appointments.

PTSD Treatment Colorado - There is Hope

Intrusive thoughts, anxiety, flashbacks, depression, nightmares, difficulty feeling connected in relationship, constant arguing with your partner - you name it, it could be a symptom of PTSD. Thankfully we know so much more about how trauma impacts a person’s body + brain. It is through this understanding that together we can lead you out of harmful disconnection into refreshed, meaningful connection with yourself and your loved ones.

My favorite way to treat PTSD is through a somatic and mindfulness-based intervention called Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a technique that was developed out of EMDR and is a safe, effective, and efficient reprocessing technique proven to significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD.

If you’re interested in learning more, you can click here and here. I am always happy to discuss any questions you may have to determine if Brainspotting is something you’d like to try.

My hope for you is that you gain a growing sense of agency as we work together to transform survival patterns into embodied resilience.
