You learned early how to survive—reading rooms, staying quiet, staying strong—while carrying pain that was never meant to be yours. Even now, your body remembers, holding fear, shame, or loneliness in ways that make everyday life feel harder than it should. These responses aren’t signs of weakness; they are signs of intelligence and adaptation. Like many of my clients I survived childhood and religious trauma. I now am a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner serving Longmont, CO, and supporting individuals throughout Denver, Boulder and the Front Range, both in person and virtually. My work focuses on healing childhood trauma, religious trauma, anxiety, and depression through a somatic, trauma-informed approach. Today, I integrate fifteen years of therapeutic experience with lived understanding to help others reconnect with safety, self-trust, and compassion.
Deep Water Soul Care offers one-on-one psychotherapy-informed 55 min sessions for childhood trauma, religious trauma, anxiety, and depression, available online and in person. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Soul Care (Narrative Therapy), and breathwork, we help clients gently regulate the nervous system and heal from the inside out. Our approach centers safety, self-compassion, and lasting change—supporting healing in the office, virtually, and in nature.
Religious Trauma
Religious trauma can leave you feeling afraid of your own thoughts and instincts—carrying deep shame, anxiety, and a lingering sense that you’re somehow wrong for simply being yourself.
Living with anxiety is like your mind and body never fully power down—constantly scanning, bracing, and preparing for problems that haven’t even happened.
Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma lives in the body as a constant undercurrent of tension — a part of you staying on guard and waiting for something to go wrong even when your life appears safe on the outside.
Depression is a heavy fog that drains energy, dulls joy, and makes even simple tasks feel exhausting and far away.

People are thirsty for relationships and lives that matter. Deep Water provides healing experiences to help you discover who you are, find relief from trauma and begin to live the life you wanted.
Because we offer professionally guided trips, Deep Water typically draws outdoorsy folks curious about life’s most important questions. However, we welcome all people and want to help you discover your core self and what it means for you to live free, authentic lives.
Or connect on our social channels:
Request a free 20 min consultation.
We will send you a calendar invitation with open days and times.
If the session is helpful, we’ll discuss future or recurring sessions.
We believe adventures in the outdoors allow people to connect in ways they’ve never connected before. The wilderness offers the chance to unplug from the busyness of our culture and find solitude for healing and reflection.
We believe in experiential learning, a kind of “learning by doing” where our shared experience leads to reflection, discussion and discovery.
We believe in caring for each other’s souls. Soul care is a gentle process of listening, asking questions and carefully walking with people into the challenging areas of their lives.
I’m not ready to sign up for a session. What do I do?
If you’re looking for a way to get to know us without meeting, sign up for our newsletter. We will provide reflections and steps to help you start your healing journey.
How much does it cost?
As a non-profit we base our session fees on Self-reported combined (if you have a partner) income. We desire to makes somatic Psychotherapy affordable.
