If you are a thoughtful woman who is hard on yourself or you feel disconnected in your relationship, I get it. Maybe you beat yourself up with constant self criticism. Maybe it’s hard for you to stop thinking about all the ways you’re falling short, or you always feel anxious in your relationship.
You’re not alone and there’s a reason you feel this way. That reason might be that you have unhealed trauma in your body.
I’m Emma and I’m a licensed professional counselor who works with thoughtful, feminist women and couples. I’m also an ex professor of philosophy, I do improv comedy, and I love to read and write. I am creative and warm, but for years I didn’t know how to channel those qualities and I became anxious and down on myself trying to fit into boxes that didn’t work for me. I felt like everything I did needed to be perfect, and as a result, I ignored my own body and needs.
I get the experience of pain, fear, and self criticism, and I also know what it’s like on the other side. Through the process of healing, I became passionate about helping others who are sensitive and have a lot to express.
My therapeutic approach helps you develop strength, understanding, and joy. My expertise focuses on working with creative, thoughtful women suffering from being stuck in their heads and not feeling good enough. I help individuals and couples come home to the truth of who they are and learn to practice self-compassion. I know that healing and joy are possible for you.
I’m passionate about doing deep trauma work with my clients because I’ve experienced firsthand how life-changing it can be.
I’ve been through therapy that stayed on the surface (hello CBT)—where I could talk about my struggles and think about them logically—but it never touched the deeper pain I was carrying in my body.
As an overachiever, I’ve always been good at staying in my head and trying to “think” my way out of problems. But real healing didn’t happen for me until I got out of my head and connected with my body.
That’s where the unprocessed trauma and old wounds were living, and working through them was what finally set me free.
I’m so passionate about therapies like EMDR, IFS, EFT and somatic work in general. These therapies help you go beyond just talking and thinking—they help you feel differently in your body.
When you can finally let go of the emotions and stress your body has been holding onto, it’s like a weight you didn’t even realize you were carrying is lifted.
I love seeing my clients experience that kind of transformation—when they start to feel safe, calm, and whole again. It’s such an honor to walk with people on this journey and to see them reconnect with themselves in a way they might not have thought was possible.
This work is personal to me, and it’s one of the most meaningful parts of my life.
In my Denver practice, I believe that healing isn’t just an internal process—it’s a response to the world we live in.
My background as a professor of philosophy taught me to look at the systems that shape our lives, which is why I am so passionate about Feminist Therapy.
It allows us to acknowledge that your anxiety often isn’t a personal failure; it’s a natural response to a world that demands perfection and ignores your boundaries.
By combining this systemic awareness with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, we can go beyond surface-level talk.
We work to unburden the parts of you that have taken on the weight of these external pressures, helping you reconnect with your ‘Self’ and find a sense of safety that lives in your body, not just your head.
I use IFS to help clients move beyond just “thinking” about their problems. By identifying and unburdening protective parts—like the Inner Critic—we access a state of “Self” that allows for deep, somatic healing that traditional talk therapy often misses.
Drawing on my background in philosophy, I recognize that anxiety and burnout aren’t just individual failures; they are often natural responses to systemic pressures. My feminist approach empowers clients to dismantle “not good enough” narratives and reclaim their agency.
Yes. I provide secure online EMDR therapy and trauma therapy to clients throughout Colorado.
