🌿 Therapy is powerful — but sometimes it’s not enough on its own.

If you're doing the work and still struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms that won’t budge, you’re not alone. Sometimes, the nervous system needs a little more support.

We now offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management to complement trauma therapy. This isn’t about fixing you — it’s about resourcing your body and brain so real healing can happen.

🧠 Available in Lakewood, and across Colorado via telehealth.
You deserve support that meets all of your needs — mind, body, and nervous system.

I’m so excited to share that I was a guest on the Boundless Body Podcast! This conversation was rich, honest, and so aligned with the heart of my work—healing trauma, supporting clinicians, and creating spaces where people can feel safe, seen, and supported.

🧠 We explored:
– Complex trauma and nervous system healing
– What it really means to "name the unspoken"
– The vision behind Elephant In The Room
– Mentorship, embodiment, and building a trauma-informed business

💛 Grateful to Casey for such a thoughtful conversation.
