Wholistic Trauma Therapy for Women Who Feel Deeply
Many women I work with don’t immediately identify their experiences as trauma. They come in feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or quietly carrying the sense that something is “off,” even though they’ve done everything they were supposed to do.
Trauma doesn’t always come from a single, obvious event. For sensitive and empathic women, it often develops through years of emotional invalidation, chronic stress, relational wounds, or the repeated experience of needing to override your own needs in order to belong, perform, or care for others.
Trauma lives not just in memory, but in the body and nervous system. It can show up as anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting yourself, or a constant feeling of being on edge or shut down. These responses aren’t signs of weakness — they are intelligent adaptations your system made to survive.
As a women’s trauma therapist in Denver, my work focuses on helping you gently reconnect with yourself, restore a sense of safety within your body, and begin to relate to your inner world with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we move at a pace that honors your nervous system, creating space for healing that is both deep and sustainable.
Signs Trauma May Be Affecting You
Trauma doesn’t always announce itself in obvious ways. For many women, it shows up quietly — woven into daily patterns, relationships, and the way you move through the world. You may not think of what you’ve experienced as “trauma,” yet your body and nervous system may still be carrying its imprint.
You might notice:
-
Feeling chronically on edge, overwhelmed, or shut down
-
A tendency to people-please, over-function, or ignore your own needs
-
Perfectionism or a persistent fear of getting it wrong
-
Difficulty resting, slowing down, or feeling truly safe in your body
-
Emotional numbness, disconnection, or feeling far away from yourself
-
Anxiety, depression, or cycles of burnout that don’t seem to resolve
-
Trouble trusting yourself, your boundaries, or your intuition
These responses are not personal failures or signs that something is wrong with you. They are intelligent survival strategies your nervous system developed to get you through difficult or overwhelming experiences. Online trauma therapy offers a way to meet these patterns with curiosity and compassion, gently supporting your system in finding more safety, flexibility, and ease.
A Trauma-Informed Approach That Honors Mind, Body & Soul
Trauma impacts the whole system — not only thoughts and emotions, but the body, nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Because of this, healing requires more than insight alone. It calls for an approach that is attentive, compassionate, and responsive to what your system needs in the moment.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care that honors both the wisdom of the body and your inner experience. Rather than pushing for change or revisiting experiences before you’re ready, we focus first on safety, regulation, and choice. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels steady and sustainable.
This approach integrates nervous system regulation, embodiment, and evidence-based trauma therapies to support deeper healing. We listen for what’s beneath symptoms, working gently with the protective strategies that have helped you survive, while creating space for greater ease, connection, and vitality.
In trauma therapy, nothing is rushed or forced. Your sensitivity is not something to fix — it is something to work with. Together, we create a space that honors your wholeness and supports lasting, meaningful change.
Trauma Therapy Modalities I Offer (Virtual Sessions)
Trauma therapy can be deeply effective in a virtual setting. For many women, working from the comfort of home allows the nervous system to settle more quickly, creating a greater sense of safety, privacy, and ease. Online trauma therapy also offers flexibility, making consistent care more accessible during busy or overwhelming seasons of life.
All of the modalities I offer are adapted thoughtfully for virtual sessions, with close attention to pacing, nervous system regulation, and your lived experience in the space where you are.
EMDR can be effectively adapted for virtual trauma therapy using bilateral stimulation methods designed for online sessions. The focus remains on helping the brain and nervous system process unresolved experiences without reliving them.
In virtual EMDR sessions, we move at a pace that feels supportive and grounded, ensuring you feel resourced and present throughout the work. Many women appreciate being able to integrate the session from their own space, where the body can more easily rest and regulate afterward.
Brainspotting translates naturally to online work, as it relies on attunement, felt sense, and the body’s innate healing capacity rather than physical proximity. Through careful observation and collaboration, we identify brainspots and support the nervous system in processing trauma in a way that feels contained and gentle.
Virtual Brainspotting can be especially supportive for women navigating chronic stress, developmental trauma, or experiences that are difficult to put into words.
IFS therapy works beautifully in a virtual format, as it centers on inner awareness, curiosity, and compassionate attention. Online sessions allow you to explore different parts of yourself in a private, familiar environment, often deepening a sense of safety and self-trust.
IFS can support healing from relational trauma, self-criticism, and long-standing patterns such as people-pleasing or emotional overwhelm.
When appropriate, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can include virtual preparation and integration sessions. These sessions focus on intention-setting, nervous system support, and meaning-making, helping you integrate insights from ketamine experiences into daily life in a grounded, embodied way.
Virtual integration allows for continuity of care while honoring safety, pacing, and the depth of the work.
