Addiction Recovery & Trauma Therapy in Windsor, Colorado
Support for addiction, trauma, compulsive behaviors, emotional pain, and the experiences that make it difficult to feel safe, connected, or fully yourself.
Life can become about surviving- getting through the day, numbing difficult emotions, staying busy, or trying not to think about what hurts. Therapy offers a space to understand your experiences with compassion and begin creating lasting change.
Sometimes what we're struggling with today has roots in what we've lived through.
There are seasons when coping starts to feel like survival.
You may find yourself reaching for substances, overworking, shutting down emotionally, avoiding difficult feelings, or feeling trapped in patterns you desperately want to change.
Sometimes the pain has an identifiable beginning- a loss, betrayal, difficult childhood, traumatic event, or relationship that left lasting wounds.
Other times, it's harder to explain. You simply know you're exhausted from carrying so much for so long.
Whatever brought you here, you don't have to navigate it alone.
Therapy offers a place to understand your story with curiosity rather than judgment while developing practical tools that support healing and recovery.

APPROACH
Therapy that honors both your pain and your resilience.
Healing isn't about pretending difficult experiences didn't happen.
It's about understanding how your experiences have shaped the ways you've learned to survive and gently creating new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Many clients come to therapy carrying shame around behaviors they don't fully understand or feeling frustrated that they keep returning to patterns they want to change.
Together, we'll create space to process your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that support recovery and emotional healing.
My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused approaches.
The goal isn't perfection.
The goal is helping you feel more connected to yourself, safer in your relationships, and more empowered to move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
