Meet Sherae

“Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good”- John Steinbeck 

Entering into therapy is brave work, it can be scary and vulnerable to share your story with another. I hope that together we can engage your story in a way that honors all that you have experienced. Bringing curiosity and attention to the parts that have been neglected, or have not received the care that has been needed. Pointing to the inherent goodness of who you are, as we lean into your story, and empower you in your agency. You are worthy of being heard, known, and cared for.

  • My theoretical approach includes a combination of object relations, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy. Relationships often play a part in our wounding, but relationships also play a valuable role in our healing journey. I believe that healing occurs within the container of safe relationships and hope to provide a space for your story to be witnessed, honored, and cared for.

    I use a relational approach in my therapeutic orientation because I have felt what it is like to have my story witnessed with the kindness and care of another. These relationships have aided in my own healing journey and allowed me to be known.

  • My story has involved elements of both joy and sorrow, hope and despair, and there have been times when leaning into my story and experience has felt too scary and vulnerable. One of the ways that I learned to cope with my trauma and pain was through perfectionism, which often left me feeling lonely, isolated, and unknown.

    Throughout my healing journey, I’ve learned to lean into my story with more curiosity and kindness, especially in areas that have caused me great pain and fear. I have been able to grow in my voice, agency, and choice, as well as find hope and restoration in areas that were damaged or broken.

    I have over a decade of experience working with diverse youth who have been in foster care or have experienced challenging life circumstances. Additionally, I’ve volunteered with organizations that support those who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking. I have also been involved in women's ministries focused on healing and caring for those on the margins in faith spaces. I believe these experiences have given me a sensitivity, care, and understanding of the impacts of trauma that many of my clients have experienced

    I am originally from Washington State, but I moved to Colorado 3 years ago and am absolutely loving the sunny days. During my free time I love spending time with my husband, Brian, our dog, Tucker, and our friends. I also enjoy being outside, exploring new restaurants, and reading good books. I look forward to meeting you!
