If you experienced repeated hurt or neglect in your early years — from caregivers, environments, or situations that weren’t safe or consistent — you may be living with the impacts of childhood or developmental trauma.
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. It’s because you learned to survive without the safety and support you deserved.
You can unlearn these patterns. You can feel safe inside yourself again.
Hi, I’m Sandy and I can help…
I provide trauma-informed therapy for childhood trauma 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

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.
Therapy with me can help you:
Understand how trauma affects your brain, body, and emotions

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.
-
Getting started with therapy is easy. First, you can schedule a free 20-minute consultation call to see if we’re a good fit. If you decide to move forward, we’ll set up your first session, where you can share what’s been going on and what you’d like help with. From there, we’ll create a plan together and move at a pace that feels right for you.
The past doesn’t have to define your present.
You don’t have to live in constant fear, shame, or disconnection. With the right support, you can find peace, confidence, and hope again.
