Fort Collins, Colorado

A Beautiful Place to Live.
Still Feeling Stuck Inside.

Fort Collins has a way of looking idyllic from the outside — the trails, the community feel, the pace of life. And yet, so many people here are carrying things that haven't had space to be fully processed or felt.

Trauma that never got properly addressed. Anxiety that became the background noise of daily life. Grief that no one around you seems to fully understand. If any of that resonates, you're in the right place.

The Methods

Two Evidence-Based Approaches,
Built Around You

01

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing uses bilateral stimulation to process stuck traumatic memories — reducing their emotional charge until they become just a memory, without the pain. Unlike talk therapy, EMDR targets where you got stuck. Your brain already knows how to heal. EMDR helps it finish the job.

ART Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses imagery rescripting to change how traumatic memories are stored — often creating shifts even faster, in as few as 1–5 sessions. It's less taxing, parts can actually feel good, and clients leave sessions already feeling lighter and better. Personalized. Innovative. Effective.

Is This the Right Fit?

This Might Be Right for You

Whether it happened recently or years ago — if it still shapes how you feel and function, it's worth addressing.

Something from the past still affects you today.

Grieving a person, a relationship, a version of your life — and feeling alone in it. You're ready to move through it, not around it.

You're stuck in grief no one else seems to understand.

You've done the work before but something underneath just isn't shifting. You're ready for an approach that actually gets through.

You keep circling the same things in therapy.

Yes — I'm Ready. Let's Talk.

Tight chest, racing heart, always waiting for the next thing to go wrong. You're exhausted from being on guard.

Anxiety shows up in your body.

For When You're Done Waiting

Hi, I'm Sheila

For more than 16 years, I've had the privilege of helping people heal through some of life's most difficult experiences. My career has taken me through community mental health, crisis work, addiction treatment, leadership, clinical supervision, and private practice, giving me experience with both acute trauma and the quieter, cumulative wounds that shape how we see ourselves and our relationships.

Today, I specialize in helping adults move beyond trauma, anxiety, grief, betrayal, and major life transitions using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—evidence-based approaches that help the brain and body process experiences that talk therapy alone often can't fully resolve.

My approach is grounded in hundreds of hours of advanced trauma training and informed by attachment theory, parts work, somatic therapies, CBT, and neuroscience. I also mentor and supervise other therapists, helping them deepen their clinical skills and confidently work with trauma, which allows me to stay continually immersed in the latest research and best practices.

My therapy style is compassionate, collaborative, and refreshingly direct. I'll challenge you when it serves your growth, celebrate your progress, and create a space where you don't have to carry everything alone. We can explore difficult experiences without staying stuck in them, combining deep emotional work with practical strategies that help you feel better not just in session, but in your everyday life.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about releasing what no longer belongs so you can reconnect with the version of yourself that has always been there beneath the trauma, fear, and survival patterns.

If you're looking for EMDR or ART therapy in Fort Collins with a therapist who brings both extensive clinical expertise and genuine human connection, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
