Trauma therapy could be right for you, if you are struggling with…
-
Change and Loss can be difficult to navigate, and no one should have to do it on their own. Adjusting to job loss, moving, relationship losses, and death of a loved one all require our energy and focus as we process through various complex emotions. As an unavoidable part of life, navigating grief is an important step in all of our journeys.
-
Decreased mood, energy, motivation, lack of interest, difficulties engaging socially, racing and harmful thoughts that can make concentration difficult if not impossible. These symptoms and more are clear markers of the challenges we face with anxiety and depression. Appropriate treatment options include CBT, Somatic therapies, mindfulness practices, and even psychedelic work can be helpful in extreme cases.
-
Surviving something life threatening, extremely frightening, and scary as an adult or child can have significant impacts on our life functioning and perception of ourselves and others. Healing from trauma involves learning more about various forms of traumatic experiences, appropriate trauma responses, adaptive coping techniques, and appropriate treatment options that you can choose from based on your unique needs.
-
Conflict is normal in even the healthiest of relationship dynamics. Which is why having a healthy way to navigate conflict is so essential in improving the quality and longevity of our relationships. We tend to learn these skills during childhood directly from our caregivers and adults in our life. This is why we tend to grow up reenacting their behaviors in new relationships we form. When we can learn new ways of regulating our emotions, then we can change the way we approach and handle conflict.
-
Stepping into authenticity has many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits to our overall sense of wellness. We all have a deep desire to be accepted completely as we are, and knowing who we are ourselves aids in our ability to grow into the greatest version of ourselves. This work requires honesty and a commitment to truth as a guiding light towards inner peace and freedom.
-
Similar to grief processing, abandonment healing often has another layer of strife making the healing process more complicated for us to move through. Abandonees tend to not receive as much support and understanding from their community as to the uniqueness of this type of loss. These wounds often leave us feeling very isolated, confused, and shattered. The journey here involves learning about where you are in this process and moving through the stages of abandonment healing at your unique pace.

Trauma Therapist in Denver, Colorado
Hi, I’m Tori! I am a trauma therapist with a deep love for wellness and healing. I’m very passionate about working with psychedelics, EMDR, and somatic practices to assist along the healing process. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients to feel comfortable working through their experiences.
I help adults (18+) who are tired of feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns in relationships, and wishing they could be the person they know they are capable of being if they could quit self-sabotaging. I help people raise their confidence in who they are, so they are finally able to stand up and speak their truth without fear of rejection, abandonment, or regret.
I believe everyone is the expert of their own life and deserves emotional well-being and healthy relationships. Throughout our time in therapy, I will work alongside you to help you develop skills to achieve a greater sense of self-worth, improve your relationships, and increase feelings of satisfaction in your life.
Thank you for making the important decision to move forward in your healing journey. Whether you are brand new to the process or a wellness guru, I welcome you and honor you for choosing this path.
I use a trauma-informed lens with multiple modalities available to personalize your individual therapeutic needs. I use a mind, body, and spirit approach often referred to as Holistic Therapy, to address multiple areas of wellness simultaneously. There are a variety of services out there to choose from, and I am happy to talk more with you on how to make your healing journey the perfect fit for you!

I combine a number of different therapeutic techniques into my approach and tailor the therapy experience to each individual I work with. I don’t know that anything about that makes me unique or special, but I will tell you that I am committed to my own personal growth and healing journey. I would never ask anyone I work with to do something that I’m unwilling to do myself. Growth and change can be scary and overwhelming at times, and you should never have to feel alone or regret that decision once you commit to it.

Magical. Rewarding. Life-changing. A little woo-woo… Kidding! (Unless you’re down.)
I aspire to hold everyone that walks into this space with me with a warm, inviting presence. Safety is not always a common theme with the population I work with, so embodying safety is very important to me.
I’ve also heard that I’m quite fun to work with, which is very aligned with my philosophy of adding fun and whimsy to the healing process. It’s serious and important work, but that doesn’t mean we have to take everything so seriously all the time - hence the woo-woo.
