Healing Rooted in Connection and Care

At Healing Roots Therapy in Arvada and Wheat Ridge, Colorado, I provide trauma therapy and counseling for individuals and couples. My focus is on helping you reconnect with your authentic self and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I draw on holistic, evidence-based approaches to address the root causes of distress to supporting lasting emotional wellness rather than quick fixes.

Below, you’ll find the areas I specialize in and the modalities I use to guide your healing journey.

Areas of Expertise

I have experience supporting clients with trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. For those seeking a more focused and efficient approach, I also offer EMDR Intensives, which allow us to work in a concentrated way and create meaningful progress in less time.

Trauma Therapy + Attachment Healing

If you’ve experienced trauma or are navigating the effects of attachment wounds, you’re not alone. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy to help process trauma and shift unhelpful patterns. This can lead to greater emotional freedom and peace. Learn more about EMDR therapy here.

Therapy for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and High-Conflict Families

Growing up in emotionally immature or high-conflict families can deeply impact your self-worth and how you relate to others. If you’re struggling with these challenges, I offer compassionate support to help you break free from these patterns and create healthier relationships.

Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs)

As a highly sensitive person, you may feel more deeply affected by the world around you. I work with HSPs to help them embrace their sensitivity as a strength, develop healthy boundaries, and overstimulation with greater ease.

Self-Esteem + Identity Work Therapy

Struggling with low self-worth, imposter syndrome, or a sense of disconnection from yourself? We’ll work together to help you reconnect with who you are, build confidence, and live in alignment with your values.

Therapy for High Achievers + Overfunctioners

If you’re a high-performing individual facing burnout, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome, our work can help you navigate success without sacrificing your well-being. Together, we’ll build sustainable strategies that align with your goals and values.

Anxiety Therapy + Stress Management

Anxiety can be exhausting both mentally and physically. It often shows up as overthinking, tension or feeling constantly on edge. Together we’ll explore what’s driving your anxiety, uncover patterns and build tools to restore your sense of peace and calm.

Support in Navigating Life Transitions

Major life changes like a career shift, move, or loss can leave you feeling untethered. I can provide the support you need to navigate transitions with clarity, grace, and self-trust.

Singlehood + Dating Support

If you’re navigating the complexities of singlehood or dating, we can work together to help you cultivate self-love, develop healthy relationship patterns, and create the future you desire. Whether you’re healing from past relationships or entering new ones, I’m here to help you build a solid foundation for love.

Couples Therapy + Premarital Counseling

Relationships are at the heart of our emotional well-being, and when they feel strained, it can be deeply overwhelming. I work with couples to improve communication, rebuild emotional intimacy, and navigate conflict with care. Premarital counseling also offers a powerful space to build connection and clarity before marriage.

If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support your journey.

Therapeutic Approaches I Use

EMDR Therapy – Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing

EMDR is my primary method for helping clients heal trauma and distressing memories. This research-backed approach uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or tones) to reprocess painful experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. Explore EMDR Therapy.

Parts Work / Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems, or IFS, helps you connect with different parts of yourself, especially those aspects that may have been silenced or hidden. This modality fosters self-compassion and a deeper connection to self.

Attachment-Based Therapy

We’ll explore how your early attachment experiences shape current relationships, emotions, and coping patterns then work to heal old wounds and build healthier connections.

Somatic + Mindfulness Practices

Mind-body approaches help regulate your nervous system and keep you grounded in the present moment. I integrate somatic awareness and mindfulness techniques to support emotional balance and resilience.

Couples Therapy: EFT + Gottman Method

For couples, I blend Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional intimacy. These approaches offer both practical tools and emotional insight to help you reconnect.

Strengths-Based Approach

I believe healing isn’t just about what’s “wrong.” We’ll also focus on what’s right – your strengths, values, and capacity for growth to help you create a life that feels more grounded and empowered.
