Courage to Heal Therapy

Courage to Heal Therapy Courage to Heal Therapy empowers trauma survivors to heal, grow, and flourish through therapy and online courses. Private pay only.

I provide trauma therapy and ADHD therapy for neurodivergent adults and couples in Broomfield, Colorado. My clients often feel anxious, burned out, or “not enough” despite appearing capable. Many are people-pleasers struggling with self-doubt, boundaries, and identity. My approach is relational, insight-oriented, and nervous system–informed. I integrate EMDR therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy

(ART), hypnotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy when appropriate. I specialize in complex trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship therapy. I offer in-person therapy in Broomfield, CO and online therapy across Colorado and Florida.

If you’ve ever wondered whether EMDR can actually help with childhood trauma—especially when you’re doing “fine” on the outside but feel anxious, ashamed, or emotionally flooded on the inside—you’re not alone. This article breaks down what EMDR targets, who it may be a good fit for, and what to expect in a way that feels clinically informed but emotionally safe. The takeaway: your reactions make sense, your nervous system isn’t broken, and healing can be more than symptom management. If you’re ready to understand the root patterns beneath the distress, this is worth your attention.

There's something that happens in the car before a therapy session.

You've been thinking about it all week. You rehearse how you might say it. Then you walk in, sit down, and talk about everything except that.

I wrote a guest post for Blunt Therapy () about why that happens and, more importantly, how to actually get the words out.

We talk about shame, what your therapist is really thinking while you're sitting across from them, and some practical ways to say the thing you've been sitting on.

If you've ever Googled "how to tell my therapist something embarrassing" at midnight, this one's for you.

I wrote a guest post for Crystal Hines over at Align Therapy & Consultation (), and honestly, it's the piece I wish someone had handed me a few years ago.

It starts with a drive home after six heavy therapy sessions and a wave of sleepiness that had nothing to do with being tired.

If you've ever ended a workday feeling like your body just quit on you, this one's for you.

I'm talking nervous system science, practical between-session resets, and why your burnout isn't a scheduling problem. It's a physiological one.

Healing childhood trauma doesn’t happen in one big moment—it happens in small, tender ones.
Like picking up a pen and choosing to meet your younger self with compassion.

Journaling can be a powerful way to access parts of your story that were buried, silenced, or never had words to begin with. It gives your inner child a voice—and offers your present-day self a safe space to listen, reflect, and gently process.

In my latest blog post, I share 29 trauma-informed journaling prompts designed to help you explore the impact of childhood trauma, reconnect with the parts of you that still need care, and begin the work of integration and healing.

You don’t have to write perfectly. You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to be willing to show up with honesty and softness.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” —Theodore Roosevelt

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need the perfect plan, the perfect mindset, or the perfect healing space.

You just need this moment.
This breath.
This version of you that’s doing the best she can with what she knows right now.

Some days your healing might look like deep insights and emotional breakthroughs.
Other days, it might look like drinking water, canceling plans, or simply being kind to yourself when your energy is low and your heart feels heavy.

It all counts.
It’s all part of the process.

You are not falling behind—you’re finding your rhythm.
One choice, one act of care, one step at a time.

Start where you are. And keep going.

Therapist: “What are you doing for self-care this week?”
Me: “Well, I made a to-do list. Then I took a nap because the list overwhelmed me. So… balance?”

Healing is full of moments like this.

You intend to journal, meditate, stretch, and meal prep…
But instead, you stare at your list, feel your nervous system say “nope,” and suddenly you're horizontal, cuddling a weighted blanket like it owes you money.

And honestly? That’s okay.

Sometimes self-care doesn’t look like bubble baths and green smoothies.
Sometimes it looks like recognizing your limits and not pushing through them.
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is cancel the list and take the nap.

You’re not lazy. You’re listening.

That, in itself, is healing.

ADHD in women often hides in plain sight.

It looks like overwhelm that never goes away.
Like perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing all tangled together.
Like being told you’re “too sensitive,” “too messy,” or “too much”—when you’re actually just trying to function in a world that wasn’t built for your brain.

In my latest blog post, I explore how ADHD shows up differently in women, why it’s so often misdiagnosed or overlooked, and what support really looks like when you’ve been masking for years.

If you’ve ever wondered why things feel harder for you than they seem to for others… this post might feel like the missing puzzle piece.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re wired differently—and you deserve support that sees and honors that.

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” —George Eliot

You are not behind.
Not too old.
Not too damaged.
Not too late.

Maybe your healing started later than you hoped.
Maybe the version of you that once dreamed, hoped, and believed got buried under years of survival.
But she’s still there—waiting to be remembered. Waiting to be rebuilt.

The truth is, becoming who you were meant to be doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens in small, courageous choices:
To set a boundary.
To speak with your true voice.
To try again.
To choose yourself.

Who you might have been is still possible.
She’s not lost—she’s unfolding.

And every single step you take toward her… counts.

Therapist: “Tell me about your support system.”
Me: “You mean the three podcasts I listen to and the barista who knows my name?”

Hey—don’t knock it. That barista’s smile at 8 a.m. has kept me going more times than I can count. And those podcast hosts? Basically my emotional support humans.

The truth is, when you’ve spent years being the strong one, the helper, or the one who “has it all together,” it can be hard to let people in. Asking for help might feel foreign—or downright terrifying.

So we build support where we can. In routines. In favorite voices. In quiet moments of not being alone.

And little by little, we learn:
We deserve real connection.
We deserve support that doesn’t have strings attached.
We deserve to be held, too.

So here’s to the healing work of expanding your circle—even if it starts with podcasts and coffee.
