Your Trauma Shapes Every Interaction.
Set Yourself Free with EMDR
Therapy that moves at the pace of your nervous system.
You Learned Early That You Were Too Much
You hid the parts that made other people uncomfortable, and you became the one who takes care of everyone else.
And it worked. That's the part nobody warns you about.
A new ache under your ribs becomes proof something is wrong, and the doctor finds nothing again.
Depth Is Why the Old Things Land Hard
- So you overthink.
- You absorb moods that were never yours.
- Boundaries collapse when someone leans on them.
You can be this porous and still belong to yourself.
EMDR Works Below the Level of Explanation
You already know why you react the way you do. Knowing hasn't moved it.
EMDR helps your brain and nervous system process experiences that remain emotionally stuck, at the layer where the pattern is actually held.
And my approach is built for people whose systems notice more.
Most of it shows up in ordinary moments, long before you'd call it healing.
- Wake up grounded instead of already scanning the day.
- Leave a crowded room carrying only your own mood.
- Trust your own read on a situation the first time.
- Tell the difference between hurt and harm, in the moment.
We move at the pace your body sets.
Start With a Free ConsultationThree Phases, Paced for Your Nervous System
Reprocessing begins only after safety and resourcing are in place, and only when you say so.
Creating Inner Safety
Healing begins with helping your nervous system experience safety. We build grounding, regulation, and self-compassion you can rely on.
Your body learns it can settle.
Healing the Roots
Once you feel resourced, we use EMDR to gently process the experiences that still shape your present, including the moments you learned it wasn't safe to be yourself.
The past stops steering the present.
Living From What You Choose
You build trust in your own read, set boundaries that hold, and make choices from what you want instead of what you fear.
You lead with what you feel.
Why Trust Me As Your Partner in Healing
How I work
A pace you set, every session
You decide when we begin reprocessing and when we stop, and that decision holds even when I think you're ready.
EMDR at the center of the work
EMDR is the method I work with most, and it arrives inside parts work and somatic awareness, with a training history that runs through transpersonal psychotherapy, energy work and subtle-body practice. What surfaces has somewhere to go.
A relationship patient enough to be tested
Doubt about me is welcome out loud, and testing whether I'm actually safe belongs inside the work.

Is EMDR too intense for a highly sensitive person?
That's what Phase One is for. Reprocessing begins only after grounding and resourcing are in place, and only when you say so.
Do I have to retell the whole story?
EMDR does not require you to narrate every detail out loud. Much of the processing happens internally, and you choose what you say.
What if I've already done years of therapy?
Insight and relief live in different places. EMDR works on the second, which is often where insight-rich people find their first real movement.
Are you based in Boulder, Colorado?
My practice is anchored in Boulder and I work with people across Colorado. Online sessions available.
Will this make me less sensitive?
The goal here is the same depth with more room around it, so what you feel becomes something you can actually use.
Do you take insurance?
Insurance and fee questions are best answered on the free consultation call, where I can speak to your situation directly.
What happens after I reach out?
I reply personally, and we find a time for your free 20-minute consultation. You decide what happens after that.
The First Conversation Takes Twenty Minutes
Your free 20-minute consultation is a chance to talk about what you're living with, ask your questions about EMDR, and see whether we're a fit.
You'll do most of the talking. I'll answer what I can.
More peace is available at exactly this depth of feeling, with an approach built around how your nervous system actually works.
Healing begins the moment your sensitivity becomes something you nurture.
The 20-minute consultation is genuinely free. No card, no commitment. We'll discuss session fees on the call if EMDR turns out to be a fit. Your message is encrypted in transit and read only by me.
