Somewhere to go

“Sisters in battle,

I am shield and blade to you.

As I breathe,

Your enemies will know no sanctuary.

While I live,

Your cause is mine.”

Starting therapy can feel exciting or even scary and for some it may be during a time of desperation. I congratulate you on either trying therapy for the first time or trying with someone new.

I am a coach located in Fort Collins & Denver, Colorado. Sessions with me are 50 minutes and are conducted one to two times a week. In that time, we address the body, the mind, and the spirit. We do this in the form of getting to know you, how you experience stress in the body, what comments you make about that feeling, and how that feeling or familiar memories remind you of that sensation.

All of us have some form of trauma. These traumas impact our daily lives and manifest in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, drug addiction, sexual issues, ect.

Coaching

Coaching is different than therapy. Therapy focuses on early childhood experiences, diagnoses, treatment planning, and mental heath issues. For coaching it’s focused on the overall well being on the person and we are goal oriented not the treatment of disorders. It’s less neutral and more getting to the goals you wish to accomplish.

I was born in New York and raised in Colorado until I was 19. I moved to Los Angeles, California - where I spent 14 developing my skills as a musician/artist and received my doctorate in clinical psychology.

I find creativity to be one of the most powerful ways to move trauma through the body. As an artist, I began to write and direct mental health films including the award winning and viral film I Am Borderline for Wright Institute Los Angeles where I received my internship and post-doctoral fellowship. I have also written and directed mental health commercials, along with the film Voices of Warriors - based on sexual abuse.

My main focus doing therapy work is working with women with:

  • Trauma PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

  • C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

  • Intimate Partner abuse (Narcissistic Abuse)

  • Childhood Trauma/Abuse

  • New Mothers with Trauma

  • Parents of Children with Trauma

  • Grief & Loss

  • Drug addiction

  • Domestic Violence

  • Sexual Assault/Abuse (intimate partner, rape, incest)

  • Women going through divorce

  • Psychic, Clairvoyant, and Spiritual abilities

Trauma

Trauma comes in so many forms and we call these disorders. It can become thoughts of suicide or even self harming. Many people are hoping one day they will wake up and their disorder or feelings will have changed and they will be better and even fine. However, with trauma this is not the case.

One has to decide it’s enough and want to work on their feelings and experiences (past/present) and work at becoming the person they are meant to be. According to many trauma experts healing cannot be done alone. Finding a healthy resource to gain insight and new experiences where one can practice boundaries (saying no), finding your voice, and finding your place in this world is an important first step. But first one has to decide they are worth it and I truly believe that you are.

I am currently receiving my certification in Somatic Experiencing which is incorporating the nervous system into our therapy. Somatic Experiencing is a key element to dealing with nervous system regulation and has been shown to be a main healing modality and way to move through trauma.

Lastly, as a highly intuitive being with my own gifts, I work with clairvoyants, mediums, and psychic healers to help them understand and utilize their gifts.
