Trauma Therapy
In-Person in Boulder & Online throughout Colorado
Hi! I’m Joe.
I help people make sense of the ways trauma lingers—whether it’s feeling on edge, stuck in old patterns, or just more drained than you’d like to be. You don’t have to be in crisis for therapy to help, and you don’t have to dig through every painful memory to heal. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong”—it’s about finding a steadier, clearer way of being with yourself.
My approach is grounded, practical, and deeply informed by mindfulness and transpersonal psychology. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about reconnecting with your body, your breath, and the quiet knowing that there is another way to move through life. We’ll work with meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you feel more present, more congruent, and more at ease—not just in your mind, but in your whole system.
I know this process because I’ve lived it.
I grew up incredibly shy—afraid to ask for what I needed, unsure how to express myself, and always holding everything in. I learned to avoid, to go unnoticed, to keep my emotions tucked away where no one could challenge them. As I got older, I numbed out in the ways a lot of people do—through substances, distraction, and shutting people out. It took time (and plenty of missteps) to realize that avoiding pain wasn’t the same as healing.
Learning to speak my truth, ask for support, and actually feel my emotions instead of burying them has been a lifelong process. I still get challenged by all the same things I used to run from, but now I know how to move through them—and I reach out when I need help. Healing isn’t about reaching some perfect state where nothing is hard anymore. It’s about knowing how to navigate what comes up with more clarity, more resilience, and more trust in yourself.
I’ve gone from being too afraid to speak as a kid to building a life and relationships that feel full, connected, and real. It’s work, but it’s worth it. And if you're ready to do this work, I’d love to support you in it.
What is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy is about more than just talking—it’s about finding a way to carry the past differently so it doesn’t weigh you down. Whether your pain comes from a single event or years of overwhelm, healing isn’t about “getting over it” but learning to move through it with more ease and self-trust.
You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy, we create a steady, supportive space to help you process what’s been hard and reconnect with yourself. Healing is possible, and you’re not stuck—you’re just finding your way forward, one step at a time.
