Calm your inner critic and reclaim your peace
Therapy for unresolved trauma in Craig and Steamboat Springs
Have you ever wondered why certain situations make you feel like you’re right back in an old, painful moment—like no time has passed at all?
Maybe something big happened—a loss, a betrayal, a frightening experience—and no matter how much time has gone by, your body still reacts as if it’s happening again. Or perhaps there wasn’t just one event, but years of little moments that wore you down.
You might be constantly on edge, unable to relax, or finding that your relationships feel harder than they “should.” You may even avoid certain places, people, or conversations without fully knowing why.
And while part of you is determined to “just move on,” another part feels stuck, replaying the past or bracing for the next bad thing.
Whatever form it takes, unresolved trauma has a way of quietly coloring every corner of life—your mood, your focus, your sleep, even the way you see yourself.
Snapping to attention at the smallest shift in tone, your body bracing as if the past might repeat itself.
Feeling drained after family gatherings because old dynamics pull you right back into roles you thought you’d outgrown.
Saying yes to things you don’t want to do, then feeling trapped—because part of you still believes it’s safer not to upset anyone.
Are you ready to stop living in survival mode and start feeling truly safe in your own skin?
It’s time to release the old patterns that kept you protected but now keep you stuck
You deserve a life that isn’t ruled by the past, where you can show up as your whole, authentic self.
Therapy for unresolved trauma can help you —
Identify the parts of you that are carrying pain, fear, or shame—and understand their role in protecting you.
Gently release the emotional burden those parts have been carrying, without pushing them away or forcing change.
Reconnect with the calm, confident, and compassionate “Self” at your core—so you can lead your life, instead of your past leading it.
I’ll guide you through this process at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is grounded in hope and respect: knowing that you are not broken—you’ve been surviving the best way you could.
When we’re done, you’ll be able to show up in your life feeling grounded, authentic, and able to live life in the present moment.
