Virtual Therapy For Burnout In Colorado, New York City, and Maine

Go From Ruminating In The “Sunday Scaries” To Feeling Present With Your Family

You know that when you’re running on empty, it starts to affect everything. You’re pushing through exhaustion at work only to show up depleted, withdrawn, and irritable at home. You’re great at holding space for others, but your own tank feels drained. You feel disconnected and worried and you’re starting to find yourself distracted from work and not performing your best.

If you find yourself angry, lashing out at your partner and friends and want to find joy in your life outside of work again, this is the place for you.

You’re ready to go from spending your evenings ruminating on work and counting the minutes to bedtime to feeling present with your family.

EMDR Therapy in Denver, CO

I am an advanced EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in healing the healers. Nurses, physicians, therapists, and social workers face high rates of burnout and compassion fatigue, which I treat with EMDR therapy. My specialty is helping high-achieving healthcare professionals and caregivers process trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue so that they can keep doing what they love at work and at home.

In my EMDR therapy practice in Denver, you will find a space that affirms your cultural, racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identities. As healthcare workers, we are impacted by our own upbringings and the systems in which we work. My approach is anti-racist and I view an understanding of systemic oppression as integral to the therapeutic process. I am an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and EMDR consultant-in-training providing telehealth therapy in NYC and surrounding New York areas, Colorado, & Maine.

Therapy for Therapists, Social Workers, and Healthcare Professionals

You’re not just burned out, you’re starting to believe that you’re not cut out for this work at all. The shame spiral that follows burnout in healthcare professionals is real. My practice integrates parts work, somatic psychology, interpersonal therapy, CBT, DBT, and EMDR. It’s not just about “coping” with toxic environments; it’s about creating systems to maintain safety, learning to separate, and processing the traumatic events and chronic stresses of the job.

Trauma impacts your whole world. You might find yourself constantly on edge or re-experiencing the trauma at the worst possible moments.

I’m a clinician seeking EMDR Consultation| Professional Consultation

Skye has a remarkable ability to listen deeply and offer thoughtful, grounded guidance that has supported my growth in countless ways. Her extensive experience serving vulnerable populations in community mental health is evident in her insight, her steadiness, and her unwavering commitment to equity and social justice. She is equally passionate about helping clinicians develop their skills and advance their careers, even within the challenges of a complex system. Her expertise in EMDR and her dedication to helping individuals navigate burnout are truly transformative—an experience I believe anyone would benefit from. – Brittney J
I have had the privilege of knowing Skye for over 6 years. Her expertise and experience in EMDR, her overall skill as a therapist and her ability to be a strong and reliable leader are only a few of the reasons I would recommend her as a therapist. – Ashlie L

Skye’s wealth of knowledge in clinical practice and consultation as well as her practice in EMDR is rooted in years of practical application and study. And her understanding of and her application of study in supporting industry professionals struggling with vicarious trauma and burnout is deep, practical, and rooted in trauma-informed, non-racist values. Skye brings a notably warm and calm presence to all of her interactions and this translates to her ability to establish strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike. – Sarah J

The biggest difference is my confidence. I was very insecure in my skill level. I had little training on how to support folks with severe mental health conditions, and had been ‘winging it’ as best I could with the training I had, which was incredibly intimidating. I was terrified of causing harm and saying the wrong thing. The boost in confidence supported my growth in knowing that I can integrate multiple modalities and theories to fine-tune my client’s experience in a way that supports them best. My insight and awareness for myself and my clients is what feels the most different now. – Jessy B

Skye challenged me by encouraging me to look inward and understand my own triggers. She brought humanness to my experience as a supervisee who was/is still learning, without encouraging the imposter syndrome that exists in my self narrative… I recommend Skye to therapists who have or want to learn more about being trauma-informed and how to support complex cases. Understanding trauma and how it presents is something Skye is very good at, and something many mental health professionals need help with. – Jessica B

I was able to see myself more as a clinician. You helped me identify the clinical skills I was using and how I was applying those things in my work. And the confidence to join a group therapy practice. I don’t necessarily know that I would have explored joining a group practice if you hadn’t brought in your experience and helped me connect the dots in my own work.

– Courtney S

I felt my own hesitancy holding me back from using EMDR… And through consultation, I was trying out different protocols and able to be playful. I like structure and seeing things move from A to B and that was so helpful at the beginning, but getting to just explore different avenues and different ways of doing things and using it to address different presentations… My conceptualization of how I do therapy has shifted through this process.

– Janel B

You really let me find my identity as a clinician and a social worker. I’ve known I have strong clinical skills, but I was extremely nervous to be someone’s ongoing therapist. Imposter syndrome out the wazoo. Leaving your team, I felt confident and free to be me as a therapist.

There was never a moment where you quieted me; I felt respected by you and given space to step more into my fun leader side too…  I haven’t felt that comfortable in supervision before.

– Rachael M.

A moment that REALLY clicked for me was when I was talking to you about my discomfort and issues with overbooking my clients in my admin time and you were like, ‘but that’s your time that you’re giving away.’ And since then I’ve had an easier time viewing admin time and breaks during the day as necessary to both me and consequently my clients. Now I feel more prepared to lay boundaries than I ever have, and I don’t feel guilty about it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about EMDR Therapy in Denver, Colorado

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How do I get started?
  • Reach out using my contact form. I will respond within 24 business hours (my office is closed Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday) to schedule a free, 15-minute consultation call to better understand what your needs are and discuss my approach to helping you. I recommend having this type of call with multiple therapists before moving forward.
  • Your first session will be a 75-minute intake session where we will get to know each other better. Subsequent sessions are typically 55-minutes, but I offer 90-minute sessions for couples therapy and sessions as long as 3-hours for EMDR intensives.
Your website lists therapy in Denver, Maine, and NYC. Where are you located and do you offer in-person as well as virtual sessions?

I’ve been offering virtual therapy in Colorado since 2020 and haven’t returned to offering in-person sessions (yet!). My therapy clients appreciate the ease of attending therapy around their work and home responsibilities. I’m currently located in Maine and love being able to offer virtual therapy so that I can continue with clients in New York, Colorado, and where I’m currently living.

How long does the therapy process typically take and how often will we meet?

This depends on your needs. We will work through acute symptoms first and many people choose to end therapy once they feel better. Some symptoms connect to deeper patterns of relating to yourself and others, which is longer-term therapy work. We will collaborate on a treatment plan and Good Faith Estimate for 3 – 6 months at a time, but that does not require you stay in therapy for that long.

What populations do you work with?

If you are struggling with the impacts of organizational and macro-level systems on your mental health, welcome – this is the place for you. This might mean your work environment, parental and family leave policies, carceral systems, legislation of women’s health, and changing healthcare funding at the state and federal levels.

In addition to recognizing meso- and macro-level harms, burnout work is deep work. It means focusing inward on your own patterns and beliefs about yourself so that you can find new ways to relate to yourself, work, and the world.

I am LGBTQ+ aligned and work with all genders in my practice.

What does it mean to be an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR therapist and Approved Consultant?

These are credentials therapists can use that demonstrates their commitment to providing quality Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR training is a 50-hour training to learn the basic EMDR protocol and includes 10 hours of consultation to complete the training. To be and EMDRIA-approved therapist, I completed 20 hours of additional consultation as I worked with over 25 clients and completed about 100 hours of EMDR work with them. Additional requirements included completing at least twelve hours (truly, way more than this) of advanced EMDR training.

I am also an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultant, meaning I’m an advanced therapist who is approved to provide consultation to other EMDR therapists who are growing their own skills and/or working towards becoming an EMDRIA approved therapist. To achieve this credential, I have provided more than 15 consultation sessions with over 5 consultees and at least 300 sessions of EMDR work with at least 75 clients (again, I’m an over achiever and completed more than this as I worked towards feeling confident as an EMDR consultant). I had ongoing consultation-of-consultation (requirement: 20 hours) and as a lifelong learner, also exceeded the expectation of 12 hours of continued EMDR training.

When I say that I’m an advanced EMDR therapist, this is what I’m speaking to. I am frequently attending training and consultation to become a skilled EMDR therapist who can work through dissociation and apply EMDR to complex trauma, substance use disorders, and practice EMDR intensives and group EMDR.
