Trauma Therapy in Boulder

Not all trauma is loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet and slow — like growing up without enough emotional safety, learning to hide parts of yourself to stay connected, or carrying responsibility that never belonged to you. And even now, you may still feel like you’re bracing: for conflict, for failure, for something that already happened long ago.

I offer trauma therapy in Boulder for people who are ready to turn toward what they've been carrying — gently, with support, and at their own pace. Using EMDR, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and ACT, we’ll work with both mind and body to process what’s been stuck and reconnect with what’s still possible.

Who This Is For?

This work may resonate if:

  • You’ve experienced emotional neglect, developmental trauma, or complex relational wounds

  • You’re highly functional but feel overwhelmed, detached, or chronically unsafe

  • You notice patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown in your relationships or day-to-day

  • You want to feel more connected to your body and internal cues

What to Expect

Sessions are structured but flexible, and you remain in control throughout. We’ll use EMDR and somatic practices to release what your nervous system has been holding — not by revisiting trauma for trauma’s sake, but by gently making space for what’s been buried. The work isn’t about rehashing everything; it’s about finding safety, presence, and freedom in your body again.

FAQ

  • I work with developmental trauma, relational trauma, and high-functioning individuals who may not have a clear “event” but still carry a deep emotional burden. Trauma therapy in Boulder can support healing from emotional neglect, attachment wounds, or long-term stress.

  • Not necessarily. We’ll move at your pace. You’re always in control of what you share. Trauma-informed therapy respects your boundaries and supports nervous system regulation.

  • Absolutely. Feeling hesitant is a completely valid part of this process. We’ll move slowly, with care, and you’ll never be pressured to share more than you’re ready for.

  • That’s okay. Many people come to trauma therapy knowing something feels off but not knowing exactly why. You don’t need clarity to begin — part of our work is making sense of the pieces together.

  • EMDR is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you process distressing memories without needing to relive every detail. EMDR therapy in Boulder is often used for treating PTSD, childhood trauma, or stuck emotional patterns.
