My dedicated approach serves clients seeking depth and authenticity in their healing journey. Whether you're visiting from Denver or are a local resident, I provide both in-person and online services tailored to your individual needs.
Why Choose Canyon Passages for Therapy Services
Hybrid Expertise: I'm both a licensed trauma therapist and EMDR consultant with specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and shamanic practices. This unique combination creates exceptional value for clients seeking comprehensive healing that addresses mind, body, and spirit.

Therapeutic Modalities I Offer
EMDR Therapy
As an EMDR consultant, I provide specialized trauma therapy using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This powerful approach helps process traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and creating lasting healing. EMDR is particularly effective for:
PTSD and trauma recovery
Anxiety and panic disorders
Depression linked to past experiences
Performance anxiety and blocks
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
I offer cutting-edge services in both ketamine-assisted and psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. These modalities can create profound breakthroughs for treatment-resistant conditions:
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: Creates a gentle dissociative state that allows deep therapeutic exploration while maintaining consciousness and safety.
Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy: Facilitates profound spiritual and psychological healing experiences with careful preparation and integration support.
All medicine-assisted services include comprehensive medical screening and dedicated guidance throughout the process.
Couples Therapy
Using Gottman Method principles and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help couples heal relationship wounds and strengthen their connection. My services address:
Communication patterns and conflict resolution
Shared trauma recovery (loss of a child, infidelity, etc.)
Intimacy and sexual health concerns
Trust rebuilding and relationship repair
My background as a clinical sexologist allows me to serve couples with complex intimacy challenges that many therapists cannot address.
My Areas of Specialization
Trauma & PTSD Treatment
Trauma work forms the foundation of my practice. I serve clients with both single-incident trauma and complex developmental trauma, using a holistic approach that addresses how trauma affects the whole person. My combined training in EMDR, somatic approaches, and psychedelic-assisted therapy often provides breakthroughs for clients who haven't found lasting relief elsewhere.
Relationship Issues
Whether working with individuals or couples, I create a safe space for exploring relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and sexual trauma recovery. My specialized training allows me to address the full spectrum of relationship concerns with sensitivity and expertise.
Shared Trauma Recovery
Some of life's most devastating experiences are shared ones. I help individuals and couples navigate complex grief and recovery processes, addressing both personal healing and relationship repair simultaneously.
Spiritual Growth & Integration
Many clients seek therapy not because of pathology, but because they're called toward growth and spiritual development. My shamanic training and spiritual practice inform this work, helping clients integrate mystical experiences and explore questions of meaning and purpose.
My Ideal Clients
I serve individuals and couples who are:
At Life Crossroads: Often successful professionals in midlife or beyond carrying deep inner wounds from trauma, loss, or identity shifts. They're ready to begin deeper work rather than seeking quick fixes.
Seeking Transformation: They've tried traditional therapy or self-help approaches but want something more profound that blends clinical credibility with spiritual guidance.
Open to Expanded States: Curious about or experienced with EMDR, psychedelic-assisted therapy, or spiritual practices. They want a safe, grounded guide for exploring consciousness.
Valuing Privacy & Quality: They prefer boutique, high-touch experiences over mainstream clinical settings and see healing as their next great investment.
