About
A trauma therapist who is a person first.
I'm Aspen, MA, MHA, LPC. I specialize in trauma therapy, with training in EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic approaches. I see clients in person in Denver and by telehealth across Colorado.
My practice is explicitly LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and transgender affirming. You won't have to explain or defend who you are here. You just get to be it.
How I got here
I came to mental health after starting a career in healthcare administration. I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma and write a new chapter in their lives from a place of autonomy and empowerment.
I have experienced my own grief and trauma through family loss and generational trauma, which gives me a personal understanding of how lonely grief can be. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, two modalities that help clients get straight to the root of their trauma and begin to find meaningful healing.
How I work
Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, so we don't just talk about it. EMDR and Brainspotting help the brain finish processing what got stuck. Somatic work helps your body learn that the danger has passed. We go at your pace, and you are always in the driver's seat.
What to expect
- A first session that is mostly about whether we're a good fit.
- Honesty, warmth, and a fair amount of laughing.
- No pathologizing your identity, your relationships, or your coping.
- A cozy office with plants, good light, and Diet Coke.
