Somatic Trauma Therapy
individual therapy in DENVER & online throughout Colorado
Your portal to deeper connection, compassion, and healing within begins here.
Are you seeking a space where
all parts of you are truly welcome?
Welcome to Inner Elements trauma therapy, where I honor your unique experiences, celebrate your individuality, and embrace the depths of your inner world.
In our modern world, it can be easy to fall into cycles of disconnection, overstimulation, and numbing – especially when you’ve experienced:
Attachment trauma or wounding
Relational trauma or wounding
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD)
“Otherness” or feeling like an outsider due to things like queerness, high- sensitivity, or neurodivergence
-
Anxiety and hypervigilance can stem from trauma, being a deeply sensitive person, or from navigating and living in complex systems that create overwhelm. Finding peace can be a daily challenge. In somatic trauma therapy, you can slow down and learn to check in with your sensations, communicate with the parts of you that are struggling, and cultivate a greater sense of calm.
-
When left unresolved, wounds from past relationships and family systems tend to linger for years or generations. Attachment wounds can block secure connections with yourself and others. Together, we’ll help you understand how past experiences have shaped your current behaviors and create space to heal wounds so you can form deeper, healthier relationships.
-
When the messages you’ve received throughout life have led you to question your worth and inherent goodness, it’s time to forge new pathways of self-compassion and acceptance.
-
Whether you’re navigating new realms in your gender, sexuality, or spiritual beliefs, therapy is a space to deepen your connection to your truest nature, unburdening the expectations placed upon you. Whether you already have a spiritual path or are seeking something new, I’ll help you find rituals that bring meaning and a sense of grounding.
-
Grief and loss are inevitable parts of the human experience, but they can make you feel utterly alone and shaken to your core. Navigating layers of grief, trauma, and loss – whether inherited, global, or from within your own lifetime – is delicate work. Together, we’ll honor your grief and hold space for new growth.
-
As a creative or artist, you may find yourself struggling to balance personal expression with external expectations. The challenges that accompany sensitivity and artistry often feel overwhelming. Let’s nurture the parts of you that long to be seen, heard, and felt.
-
Maybe your queerness, different relational practices, race, cultural identity, neurodivergence, sensitivity, or unique ways of loving and living in the world have left you feeling unseen and unsupported throughout your life. Feeling like you don’t belong is deeply painful, and can lead to continual patterns of confusion, hurt, and withdrawal.
I’m here to help you celebrate your unique ways of thinking and approaching the world. Therapy isn’t about changing you; it’s about creating a space where your identity is held, explored, and honored. Together, we’ll uncover belonging and wisdom in your strengths.
-
When your work involves holding space for others’ healing, prioritizing your own mental and emotional health may not come naturally. Maybe you feel drained, stuck in familiar patterns of self-sacrifice, or grappling with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. For those navigating complex trauma, being a mental health practitioner can stir up deeply rooted emotional triggers that need to be acknowledged and processed.
You may find yourself longing for a more intentional and grounded way of living.
In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of what you’re experiencing—whether that’s anxiety, stress, grief, or navigating your identity with neurodivergence or LGBTQIA+. Just as the cycles of nature bring change and discovery with each season, your personal journey can unfold into deeper healing and self-inquiry.
Discover the Healing Power of Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy
Our time together will be an opportunity to listen deeply to the wisdom within you—like tuning into the quiet rustle of leaves or the gentle flow of a stream. We’ll create space for curiosity and compassion, so you can gently unravel layers of lifelong shame, anxiety, oppression, and self-criticism.
If you’ve tried other therapies without feeling seen or supported, know that here, you are invited to slow down and reconnect with your body, your spirit, and the natural rhythms of your inner world.
Are you navigating one or more of these experiences?
Everything you need is already within you.
I’m here to mirror and reflect this back to you, like a beacon in the dark to guide you home.
A Grounded Approach to Healing.
In a world that often demands constant motion, somatic trauma therapy is an invitation to return to stillness, be present, and connect more deeply with your body and emotions.
My approach helps you reconnect with your inherent wisdom, root yourself in self-compassion, and explore and befriend the parts of yourself that have been hidden or silenced.
We’ll use tools such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, and experiential awareness to tune into the sensations of the body and the voice of the inner self. For those drawn to earth-based spirituality, our work may also include nature-inspired rituals or practices that deepen your sense of belonging to the world and to yourself.
Here, you’ll find a supportive environment to:

Together, we’ll embrace all parts of you so you can heal, grow, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of your life. Just as a forest is nourished through cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, you too can find balance, harmony, and resilience within all the cycles of your own life.
Let’s begin nurturing your inner landscape to help all parts of you grow and thrive.
