I’m a trauma-informed therapist helping adults navigating OCD, trauma, and identity-based wounds move from disembodied survival into grounded, empowered living in Denver, CO.

Deep embodied healing work  ·  In-person + online  ·  Tues / Fri / Sat

Non-linear healing ✷ Duality over all-or-nothing ✷ LGBTQ+ affirming ✷ Contemporary OCD care

My work blends the wisdom of lived experience with training in the most up-to-date, evidence-based trauma & OCD interventions

With a style rooted in vulnerability, humor, depth, and humanity, I create spaces where clients can finally breathe, tell the truth, and be fully themselves without apology.

The work I do with clients centers the intersections of OCD, religious and medical trauma, identity-based trauma (BIPOC, LGBTQ+), attachment wounds, and the ways nervous systems are shaped by cultural and systemic forces.

 

I help clients shift out of rigid, all-or-nothing thinking and into duality — a place where complexity is safe, two things can be true, and healing expands rather than constricts.

Who I work best with

I work best with big feeling, introspective, big-thinking humans who crave depth, honesty, movement, nature, and a therapist who’s willing to be real.

 

Clients often describe me as deeply validating while gently challenging, offering warmth, humor, and direct insight in equal measure.

  • Nonlinear thinkers and creative minds.

  • Humans navigating the challenges of OCD.

  • Those struggling with medical and/or religious trauma histories.

  • BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks looking for a therapist who "gets" identity-based wounds.

  • Anyone tired of "flight/freeze" culture and ready to breathe again.

  • Those suffering from childhood, acute, and/or chronic traumas.

  • Female identifying humans seeking safety to grow into their full power.

Beyond my clinical work

My blend of personal experience and advanced clinical training allows me to bridge worlds — making me a trusted guide for those seeking cutting-edge OCD & trauma care grounded in humanity.

I teach and speak on non-linear healing, emotional safety in organizations, the political nature of the nervous system, and the complexities of OCD and trauma that traditional institutions often misunderstand.
