I have the expertise necessary to bring relief and help you feel more in control of your life. Through our work together, you will gain self-understanding an an ability to effectively address your needs and gain tools that will have long reaching influences into the future.

Welcome! I am the founder of Innis Integrative Therapy which has been developed to address the confusion and complications related to the physical manifestations of pain and chronic conditions that have underpinnings of trauma. I combine knowledge, expertise and 30 years of experience incorporating three fields of practice to facilitate holistic healing: physical therapy, somatic psychotherapy, and trauma resolution therapy using Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting modalities. I look forward to meeting you and discovering ways to create a better, more fulfilling life, regardless of your medical conditions or set of limitations.

I provide support through the difficult contours of major life changes, anxiety, and grief, trauma and PTSD. With an MA from Naropa in the Contemplative Program, somatic training and EMDR, I utilize body and mind resourcing, mindfulness, and depth psychology practices.

Are you troubled by your past? If a traumatic experience has left you feeling wounded, anxious or depressed, I may be the counselor for you. In my therapy practice in Fort Collins, Colorado, and also by telephone, I've provided counseling to people suffering with the debilitating effects of trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for over 11 years. Regardless how long you've been suffering, the symptoms of trauma are treatable. Recent advances in the field of psychotherapy can help you resolve even the most severe symptoms so that you can live your life more fully.

Because symptoms of trauma are rooted deeply in your brain and body, my approach helps you to release negative emotions at a physiological level.
