Stop hiding and start living.
Be fully you.
Therapy for LGBTQIA+ folks healing from religious trauma in Colorado Springs.
For years, you followed the rules—the ones your family, faith community, or church told you were the only path to love, acceptance, and belonging. Rules about:
What to wear
How to act
Who to love
You tried to fit in, to be “good,” to be worthy. But deep down, you knew—who you are doesn’t fit inside their rules.
And now? You can’t do it anymore.
You are exhausted. Tired of hiding. Tired of questioning your worth. Tired of the shame that still whispers:
“You’re broken.”
“You’re an abomination.”
“You’ll go to hell if you live this way.”
Even though you’ve stepped away from the church—or are questioning your faith—those voices still echo in your mind. You want to reclaim your identity, your joy, and your sense of self. But untangling the shame and fear feels impossible.
It’s time to break free.
Imagine knowing—deeply in your heart—that you are whole, lovable, and enough exactly as you are.
✨ You release the guilt and shame that were never yours to carry.
✨ You see your uniqueness as a gift.
✨ You surround yourself with people who celebrate you for who you truly are.
✨ You feel safe, empowered, and free in your own body.
You deserve to be fully you. I can help.
Hi! I’m Dr. Nikki.
(she/her)
I am an artist and licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado Springs. I specialize in helping LGBTQIA+ folks heal from religious trauma, reclaim their authentic selves, and build lives filled with joy, connection, and purpose.
My approach blends expressive arts therapy with deep, compassionate healing work to help you break free from shame, step into your truth, and start fully living.
You don’t have to heal alone.
Individual Therapy
In our individual therapy sessions, I integrate expressive arts therapy to help you reconnect with your body, emotions, and imagination. Whether through coloring, drawing, or other expressive art activities, I create a warm environment for exploration and healing.
As a trained clinical psychologist, I also use traditional therapy approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidenced-based methods. This combination allows me to tailor our sessions to meet your unique goals and needs, empowering you to heal from religious trauma, reclaim your identity, and live more authentically.
