Therapy for when “functioning” is just code for “secretly falling apart.”

“The work we’ve done together has completely changed my life.”
– Privately Disclosed
It didn’t start out like this. But now you barely recognize yourself.
It crept in quietly—maybe a bad relationship, a little too much wine to calm down, or the way your nervous system flinches at raised voices, like it’s still bracing for impact.
Now it’s all tangled together: the anxiety, the walking-on-eggshells, the rewriting your text five times so you don’t sound too “needy.”
Friends say you seem fine. But they don’t see the secret spirals, the crying in your car after the PTA meeting, the nights you stare at the ceiling thinking, How did I end up here?
Healing isn’t pretty—but it’s real, and it’s yours.
Things don’t magically fix themselves—but they do shift.
You stop blaming yourself for their behavior. You start catching the patterns before they repeat.
You set a boundary and don’t immediately want to vomit.
One day you realize you’re not numbing out with old habits, and you’re not scared of your own feelings anymore.
That’s the work. That’s the win.
Why we’re different.
We’ve been through it. We’ve studied it. We’ve stared into the flames of the dumpster fire ourselves.
Our tools are legit (EMDR, IFS, CPT, DBT, ALL the acronyms), but more than that, we show up as real people. No blank stares. No jargon soup. No “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. Just honest support.
And if faith is part of your story, we’re here for that too. We don’t push anything, but we can integrate your beliefs into the work in a way that feels aligned, respectful, and real.
Our Specialties
-
Trauma
It shows up in places you’d never expect—your job, your relationships, your body. We help you stop carrying what was never yours to hold.
-
Addiction
Not just about the substance. It’s about what it helped you escape. We help you figure that out and give you tools to build something healthier.
-
Narcissistic Abuse
Nothing makes you doubt yourself like being stuck in their mind-games. We help you untangle the manipulation and start trusting your own gut again.
-
Domestic Abuse
Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s loud. Either way, it leaves scars. We create space for you to feel safe, get clear, and take your life back.
What healing looks like:
→ Saying “no” without a 5-minute explanation
→ Putting down your addictions and coping mechanisms
→ Feeling anger without shutting down
→ Recognizing love that feels safe, not controlling
→ Reconnecting with your faith, if that’s part of your story
→ Catching yourself mid-spiral and choosing something better
→ Finally feeling like your self again
