I am a trauma specialist based in Denver, with advanced expertise in complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and complicated grief. My work is grounded in extensive clinical experience across levels of care, including inpatient hospital settings, as well as private practice. I began my career in Chicago and hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler School of Professional Psychology. I later established two private practice locations, including my first in Illinois.

​

I specialize in working with Complex PTSD and dissociative disorders, including DID and OSDD, as well as trauma rooted in attachment wounds, abuse, and chronic relational harm. My approach is integrative and depth-oriented, focused on identifying and reprocessing the underlying drivers of trauma responses, rather than managing symptoms at the surface level.

​

My clinical work centers on the integration of EMDR, parts work (ego states), and art therapy. EMDR serves as the primary framework, adapted for complexity and dissociation, allowing for careful, titrated reprocessing that prioritizes safety and internal stability. Parts work supports communication and cooperation within the system, while art therapy offers access to non-verbal material that cannot always be reached through traditional talk therapy. I also incorporate Reiki as an optional, complementary practice to support nervous system regulation and deepen connection to the self.

​

My approach is holistic and inclusive, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and nervous system in the healing process. I work with individuals navigating Complex PTSD and co-occurring conditions, including OCD, borderline personality patterns, and dissociative disorders, while recognizing how neurodiversity can play an integral role in assessing for diagnosis.  I am particularly attuned to clients whose experiences have felt “too complex” for standard therapeutic approaches.

​

In addition to trauma treatment, I have advanced training in working with complicated grief, including EMDR-informed approaches and IADC-informed methods for unresolved attachment and loss. This work supports clients in processing grief that remains unintegrated, including relational loss, identity disruption, and traumatic bereavement.

​

I am committed to ongoing professional development and clinical depth. I have completed training in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) to address the intersection of trauma and OCD, further expanding my ability to work with complex and overlapping presentations.

With over 16 years of experience, my work is grounded in precision, attunement, and respect for the pace of each individual system. I aim to create a space where clients can safely process what has been held in the nervous system, move beyond survival patterns, and develop a more cohesive and connected sense of self.
