Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (TX) Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (CO)

Inner Archive is a metaphor. I believe that each person carries an internal archive shaped by their lived experience. We store records—emotions, sensations, behavioral patterns, beliefs, and memories, but they don’t always exist as clear narratives. When experiences have been repeatedly dismissed or misunderstood, especially by larger systems or institutions, they are often archived in the body and surface through sensations and emotional responses.

It is my goal to help you explore how trauma, chronic pain, or long-term stress show up in your body, not just in what you can explain or make sense of verbally. When helpful, body-based tools are incorporated to support awareness and regulation, especially when physical reactions feel confusing or out of sync with insight.

I’m here to cheer you on while you appraise your internal records and decide what belongs, what needs to be updated, and what you no longer want to carry forward.

Focus Areas

The work often centers around the following areas, though your story may not fit neatly into one.

Chronic pain therapy addresses the emotional and identity shifts that often accompany ongoing symptoms, using body-based tools and meaning-centered work to foster steadiness, compassion, and renewed purpose.
For those untangling themselves from high-control religions, spiritual manipulation, or rigid belief systems. Therapy can help to make sense of your experiences, examine their impact, and clarify your values.
Institutional betrayal trauma describes the harm that occurs when systems meant to protect, such as workplaces, healthcare, religious institutions, or schools, fail to prevent or respond to abuse, leaving lasting effects on trust, identity, and safety.
I address institutional betrayal by helping clients make sense of what happened, process its impact, and regain trust in their own perceptions and choices.
I work with childhood trauma by helping you in understanding how your childhood survival patterns continue to influence your nervous system, relationships, and identity. Using parts work and EMDR therapy, we can update these patterns so that your current experience isn’t controlled by what you had to do to survive as a child.
In session we explore your inner world at your pace with curiosity and steadiness, and support the development of greater internal communication, harmony, and a grounded sense of presence.
Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, identity, freedom, and mortality, especially when life transitions, loss, chronic pain, or trauma disrupt your sense of direction or purpose.
For those exploring or practicing paganism, Wicca, esoteric, or other spiritual frameworks who need a therapist who won’t judge, minimize, or misunderstand. Your beliefs and experiences are taken seriously and explored with care.
