Trauma-informed counseling for individuals navigating stress, trauma, identity questions, and life transitions — grounded in evidence-based practice and respectful of each person’s pace.

Individual counseling
One-to-one counseling for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. Collaborative and focused, with attention to both immediate concerns and the longer-term patterns shaping emotions, relationships, and decisions.
Trauma-focused counseling and EMDR
For the effects of overwhelming experience — single-incident trauma, chronic stress exposure, and complex trauma over time. Work is paced carefully and supported by stabilization strategies, so you stay grounded while working through difficult material. EMDR is used where clinically appropriate.
Moral injury and high-responsibility roles
Some wounds aren’t fear-based. They come from what you had to do, what you couldn’t prevent, or what you witnessed while doing your job well. This work makes room for that — without asking you to reframe it as something simpler than it is. It is common among first responders, service members, and clinicians who work where outcomes are hard and decisions are fast.
Identity and life transitions
Many people seek counseling when their sense of direction shifts. Retirement, injury, a change in calling, or the end of a role that defined you. This work addresses identity, values, and vocational direction.
Group therapy: codependency
This group uses the Ball Drive metaphor from working dog training to help participants identify and change patterns of codependency and enmeshment. Many high-functioning adults understand loyalty and responsibility deeply, yet struggle to recognize when those strengths have become self-erasing habits.
Through structured discussion and guided reflection, participants begin to separate love from overfunctioning and care from control. The group emphasizes boundary development and identity clarity, so that connection does not require self-abandonment.
It is especially helpful for first responders, military families, and others familiar with working dog culture, though it is open to anyone seeking relief from relational patterns that feel binding.
