Somatic Trauma Therapy & Pain Relief in Denver, Colorado
Say goodbye to self-doubt and physical symptoms.
You’re tired of feeling trapped in your own mind.
You wake up every morning feeling immediate panic and can’t relax (even for a moment).
You feel lost and disconnected from yourself, like you’re going through the motions, and can’t answer basic questions about yourself.
You find yourself constantly seeking others' approval, and can’t leave the house until you text your friend to see what they’re wearing.
You think you’re destined to fail at everything you try, like there’s something that makes you special, but not in a good way.
Your inner dialogue sounds like an abusive drill sergeant and can’t shake the feeling you’re a bad person who doesn't deserve love.
You’re riddled with unexplained physical symptoms like chronic pain, tightness, or GI symptoms that won’t go away, no matter how many doctors you see.
You’re so overwhelmed by your emotions that you escape through the only ways you know how–like eating disorder behaviors, a busy schedule, or general avoidance.
You’re ready to stop carrying the load of your past alone and start living your best life, and I can help.

somatic therapy
Hi, I’m Martha, and I’m here for you.
I’m a somatic trauma therapist who knows how transformative it can be to finally feel confident and connected to yourself. Using a body-focused approach, I help adults break free from old patterns and create meaningful, lasting change.
I offer a space to address topics that may be hard to share elsewhere, perhaps because others don’t get it or because your struggles have been minimized in the past. Whether it’s about trauma or other deeply personal struggles, I understand how often these conversations are avoided or dismissed.
I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and smiles; I’m an active, engaged participant who truly cares about the outcome of our work together. I give feedback, ask challenging questions, make jokes, and may interrupt gently when it feels important to guide the process forward. I have a knack for quickly identifying how people’s pasts are getting in the way of what they’re longing for, and make dang near everything about childhood.
I work best with people who want real change, not just a buddy they pay to talk to. Through working with me, you can learn how to feel confident in your skin, feel connected to your life, and be more gentle with yourself.
I can help you…
