What We Offer

"Why do I feel so stuck even when I try to move forward?

Trauma & PTSD – Finding Freedom
 
Living a full, unshackled life can be incredibly difficult when trauma has left
you feeling numb, guarded, or overwhelmed. Many trauma survivors work hard to “keep it together” on the outside while silently carrying deep emotional wounds. This pain can lead to disconnection from self, loved ones, and even cultural or spiritual roots.
 
We offer trauma-informed care that includes somatic practices, narrative
healing, and relational approaches. Our goal is to help you safely reconnect
with your body, emotions, and voice—so you can move beyond survival and into
freedom

"Why can't I stop feeling anxious or overwhelmed?"

Individual Therapy for Anxiety & Depression
 
When your mind is constantly racing or your heart feels heavy, it can be hard to stay grounded in the present. Persistent anxiety, sadness, or emotional exhaustion are signs that your nervous system may need support.
 
We help you explore the roots of these feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental space,
building coping skills, mindfulness, and resilience. Whether you’re dealing
with everyday stress or deep emotional pain, you don’t have to face it alone.

"Why is it so hard fo rus to talk without fighting?"

Couples Counseling
 
All relationships experience challenges, but sometimes conflict, distance, or
miscommunication can start to erode the foundation of your connection.
 
In couples counseling, we create a neutral, supportive space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and explore the patterns keeping you stuck.
Whether you’re working through a crisis or just want to strengthen your bond,
we’re here to support your growth as a couple.

"Why is my teen acting so different lately?"

We support caregivers and families in building strong, nurturing relationships using culturally grounded, relational approaches that honor both accountability and compassion.
