Specializing in Childhood and Religious Trauma, Attachment Healing, and Somatic Work
Do You Find Yourself…
• Feeling emotions that hit hard, fast, or feel impossible to control
• Struggling to trust yourself or the people closest to you
• Going numb, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from who you are
• Saying yes when you want to say no and feeling guilty when you set limits
• Staying on high alert, even in relationships that “should” feel safe
If you’ve been carrying these patterns for years, it’s not because you’re broken.
These are common responses to trauma. Your nervous system learned how to protect you.
Somatic trauma therapy helps your body learn that it is safe again. You can unlearn these patterns.
You can feel safe inside yourself again.
A Different Approach to Trauma Healing
Somatic therapy focuses on how trauma is stored in the body, not just the mind.
Research shows that trauma can affect the nervous system, leading to patterns like anxiety, shutdown, or emotional overwhelm.
Instead of only talking about past experiences, somatic therapy helps you:
Notice and understand your body’s responses
Gently regulate your nervous system
Process trauma without becoming overwhelmed
Build a sense of safety from within
This approach allows for deeper, more lasting healing.
This work is not about fixing you.
It is about helping your body move out of survival mode and into a more grounded way of living.
What Clients Often Begin to Experience…
A calmer, more regulated nervous system
Fewer emotional triggers
Greater sense of safety in the body
Improved relationships and boundaries
More connection to yourself and your emotions
Relief from long-standing trauma patterns
Why Work With Self Aligned Therapy?
Hi, I’m Sandy, I specialize in working with adults healing from trauma using somatic and attachment-based therapy in Denver and across Colorado via telehealth.
You can feel safer in your own body. You can learn to manage triggers without shutting down. You can reconnect with yourself and the people you care about.
My approach is:
Compassionate and collaborative — we go at your pace, never pushing past what feels safe
Evidence-based — drawing from somatic therapy, parts work, and relational healing
Inclusive and validating — welcoming all identities, backgrounds, and life stories
I draw from somatic therapy, parts work, and relational healing to meet you where you are and help you move toward recovery.
Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck and help you reconnect with yourself, your peace, and your hope.
This may be a good fit if you:
Want deeper trauma healing, not just coping skills
• Are open to body-based therapy
• Feel stuck despite previous therapy
• Are ready to understand your patterns at a deeper level
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don’t need a diagnosis to know something still hurts.
If you grew up feeling unsafe, unseen, controlled, or responsible for other people’s emotions, your body may still be living with the impact.
Many clients say, “I didn’t think my childhood was bad enough,” yet their symptoms tell the truth.
If your past still shapes your present, your experiences count — and you deserve care. -
Yes — and many people don’t realize it until adulthood.
Early trauma can affect your ability to trust, set boundaries, feel safe in relationships, regulate your emotions, or feel confident being yourself.
These patterns aren’t your fault. They’re learned survival strategies.
With the right support, they can be unlearned. -
Common signs include:
Feeling on edge or easily overwhelmed
Emotional “spikes” that feel too intense
Trouble relaxing or feeling present
People-pleasing, shutting down, or withdrawing
Trouble sleeping
Chronic tension or fatigue
These aren’t personal flaws — they’re trauma responses. And they’re treatable.
-
Trauma therapy helps your brain, body, and nervous system remember: you’re safe now. You don’t have to revisit every painful detail to heal. Using methods like somatic therapy and parts work, we process trauma gently, release survival patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself — at a pace that feels right for you.
If talking about the trauma feels overwhelming, you can still heal without sharing the story. You stay fully in control. Your story is yours to keep — always.
-
If you often feel stuck in survival mode — like you’re overthinking, shutting down, numbing out, or having trouble feeling safe in your relationships — your nervous system is signaling that it needs support.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis or a specific “big enough” trauma to benefit from therapy. If something hurt you and it’s still affecting your life, that’s more than enough reason to seek healing.
-
