Life Is a Collection of Stories

Life is a collection of stories, each one unique and full of meaning. We are wired for narrative, constantly shaping our inner worlds through the thoughts we hold, the sensations we feel, and the stories we tell.

Jen believes healing is rooted in the harmony of Mind, Body, and Story, a sacred triad where insight, embodiment, and personal narrative work together. She believes that every soul’s narrative weaves a tapestry of significance, and she delights in the privilege of nurturing others on their profound journeys.

The journey of therapy with Jen is like stepping into a magical adventure. Together, you will face life’s dragons and discover the treasures within, leaning into each twist and turn with courage and a sprinkle of enchantment.

What Therapy with Jen Feels Like

Therapy with Jen is an invitation to step into authorship of your life. This work is not about fixing you or rushing toward an outcome. It is about slowing down enough to notice how your mind interprets the world, how your body holds what you have lived through, and how the stories you carry quietly shape who you believe yourself to be.

Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and deeply human. There is room for curiosity, humor, creativity, and meaning-making. Jen walks alongside you at your pace, honoring both where you have been and where you are ready to go.

Mind, Body, and Story

Jen’s approach is holistic in a grounded, integrative sense. Together, you will explore how past experiences live in the nervous system, how identity and meaning are shaped over time, and how compassion and conscious choice can open new pathways forward.

This work blends psychological insight with nervous system awareness and personal narrative, honoring the full complexity of being human. Healing unfolds not by erasing your story, but by relating to it with more understanding, agency, and care.

Beyond the Therapy Room: A Life Well-Lived

Outside of session, Jen finds nourishment in family, travel, books, podcasts, tarot, and intentional living. She loves coffee ice cream, chai or matcha lattes, and the quiet magick of meaningful conversations in cozy cafes.

Fun fact: Jen has traveled across three continents and visited 42 states, a reflection of her deep curiosity and love of exploration.

Jen welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside you as you explore your story with curiosity, courage, and care. Wherever you are in your journey, she offers a steady presence as you face what has been, listen to what is asking to be known, and begin shaping what comes next.

You might be used to carrying a lot on your own. Pushing forward. Handling what needs to be handled, even when it takes more out of you than you let on. Maybe you’ve lived through experiences that changed you, and now you’re trying to make sense of how they still show up in your relationships, your work, or the way you see yourself.

Chris understands this terrain not just professionally, but personally. As a veteran, husband, and father, he brings lived experience into the therapy room with humility and respect. He knows that real strength often looks quiet, and that asking for support is not weakness. It is a turning point.

What Therapy with Chris Feels Like

Therapy with Chris is active, engaging, and grounded in real life. He partners with clients to explore how past experiences are shaping the present, and to identify practical, realistic ways to move forward.

Sessions often include honest conversation, insight, humor, and collaborative problem-solving. Chris brings warmth, creativity, and energy into the room, helping clients break through what has been holding them back and reconnect with their inner strengths.

This is not therapy that stays stuck in analysis. It’s therapy that helps you move.

Practical Healing With Depth

Chris works with clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, career stress, parenting concerns, and the long-term impact of difficult experiences. He integrates EMDR and trauma-informed care with a strengths-based approach that focuses on growth, resilience, and purpose.

Whether you’re working to heal from the past, improve your relationships, or feel more confident in who you are, Chris helps you build a path forward that fits your life, not someone else’s expectations.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your sense of purpose, activate your potential, or simply learn how to like and accept yourself again, Chris is ready to meet you where you are.

Chris offers a steady, supportive presence as you navigate the road ahead. With honesty, encouragement, and practical guidance, he walks alongside you as you build resilience, reclaim strength, and move toward the life you want to live.

You’ve been strong for a long time. Showing up. Doing what’s expected. Holding the emotional weight of others while quietly setting your own needs aside. Maybe no one sees how heavy it’s been. Maybe functioning so well has made it easy to forget that your needs matter too.

But something brought you here.

It might be the exhaustion that won’t lift. The stress that won’t quiet down. Emotions that surface unexpectedly. Or the persistent sense that something feels off, even if nothing looks “wrong” from the outside. Maybe part of you is simply ready for something to shift, even if you’re not sure where to begin.

Melissa helps clients move from survival mode into something more sustainable. Her work is grounded, practical, and deeply compassionate, offering clarity and calm to those who have been carrying too much for too long.

Getting to the Root of What’s Holding You Back

Melissa works with individuals, couples, and families who are tired of holding it all together. Many of her clients are the ones others rely on: capable, dependable, outwardly composed. Inside, they may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to tend to themselves without guilt.

Her approach helps clients reconnect with their emotions, reclaim their voice, and explore what it means to care for themselves in ways that are sustainable rather than self-sacrificing.

Whether you’re navigating grief, parenting stress, a major life transition, or the quiet burnout that comes from always being the strong one, Melissa offers a steady presence and a space to define what healing looks like for you.

Therapy That Makes Space for You

Therapy with Melissa is a place to slow down, breathe, and begin again. Clients often come in feeling overwhelmed by constant pressure, emotionally numb or flooded, or caught in the chaos of stress, relationships, identity, or transition.

Together, you’ll get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface and reconnect with what matters most. You don’t have to carry everything alone anymore.

Practical Tools, Human Pace

Melissa integrates evidence-based approaches with flexibility and care. Sessions may draw from:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and healthy boundaries
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reconnect with values and agency
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) to work with ambivalence and stuckness
• Play and sand tray therapy for children, teens, and expressive adults who process beyond words

This is not about quick fixes. Melissa helps clients build tools that carry into daily life and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have gone quiet along the way.

You do not have to fall apart to deserve care. Therapy with Melissa offers a steady, grounded space where you can be seen, supported, and prioritized, often for the first time in a long while.

You might be feeling scattered and overwhelmed, weighed down by stress or anxiety, or haunted by past experiences that still echo into the present. Some days it can feel like your thoughts won’t slow down, or that your emotions are one step ahead of your ability to manage them.

Britney offers a reassuring presence and a safe, supportive space to explore these experiences. Reaching out for therapy is a brave step, and you don’t have to take it alone.

Navigating the Storm of Thoughts and Emotions

Life has a way of piling things on. Work, relationships, expectations, and responsibilities can leave your mind racing and your body tense. Some days, getting out of bed feels like a monumental task. Other days, worry and self-doubt refuse to quiet down, making it hard to feel grounded or safe.

Britney believes that while this path can feel heavy, it is possible to find steadier footing. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin loosening the grip of thoughts and patterns that no longer serve you.

What Therapy with Britney Feels Like

Therapy with Britney is supportive, collaborative, and real. She creates a space where your story matters and where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

Sessions often include:

• Thoughtful conversations about patterns, beliefs, and emotions
• Practical steps to support change and growth
• Humor to gently lighten heavy moments
• Exploration of strengths and values to foster self-trust

Her goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and more capable of navigating life as it unfolds.

A Guide on the Path to Healing

Britney works as a guide alongside you, helping you move through challenges with compassion and clarity. She supports clients in learning how to question unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their own resilience.

Healing here isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, honesty, and learning how to meet yourself with more kindness along the way.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of session, Britney enjoys staying active and engaged in her community and finding ways to bring balance into everyday life. These experiences help ground her work and deepen her understanding of the real-world challenges clients face.

Madilynne (Madi) Harbauer (they/them) works with children, teens, and adults, weaving drama therapy and artistic expression into evidence-based care. Their approach recognizes that not everything meaningful can be spoken right away. Sometimes understanding arrives through movement, metaphor, imagination, or play before it ever reaches words.

At the heart of Madi’s work is a belief in egalitarian therapy. This is not a hierarchy where the therapist holds all the answers. It is a collaboration. You and Madi work as a team, exploring your inner world with curiosity, honesty, and respect for your lived experience.

Their therapeutic lens draws from humanistic approaches that honor authenticity and growth, existential work that explores meaning and choice, and feminist frameworks that recognize power, identity, and social context. These influences allow Madi to hold both depth and flexibility, making room for the complex, sometimes contradictory parts of being human.

Madi is comfortable going into the deep places with you while keeping the work grounded and accessible. Clients often describe their presence as playful yet steady, creative without being overwhelming, and compassionate without losing clarity. This is a space where exploration is welcomed and nothing about you is too much or too strange to bring into the room.

Playfulness, Depth, and Balance

In therapy with Madi, play is not about being silly for its own sake. It is a doorway. A way to explore emotions, patterns, and experiences that might feel too big, too confusing, or too tangled to approach head-on. Through creative engagement, clients often find new language for what they have been carrying and new ways to understand themselves.

At the same time, Madi brings a steady, grounding presence to the room. When things feel heavy, tender, or intense, they know how to slow the pace, hold seriousness with care, and help clients feel safe enough to stay with what matters. Sessions are shaped around you, your needs, and your nervous system, allowing for both lightness and depth to exist side by side.

This balance makes therapy with Madi feel adaptable and human. There is room to explore, to reflect, to laugh, and to sit quietly when needed. Nothing is forced. The work unfolds in a way that respects your rhythm and honors your journey.

Specializing in Neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ Communities 🏳️‍🌈

Madi is deeply committed to providing affirming, identity-aware care for neurodivergent individuals and LGBTQ+ clients. They understand how exhausting it can be to navigate a world that often misunderstands your needs, expressions, or way of being.

Therapy with Madi centers safety, consent, and collaboration. There is no pressure to mask, perform, or explain yourself perfectly. Your identity is not something to be fixed or managed. It is something to be understood, honored, and supported.

Madi also works with clients navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, and rigid patterns, approaching these experiences with compassion, clarity, and respect for the nervous system. All parts of you are welcome here.

Life Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of session, Madi finds joy in the small, grounding pleasures that bring balance and creativity into daily life. They enjoy exploring new vegan eateries, playing the piano, and listening to Taylor Swift. Time spent with their chihuahua, Angel, is a favorite source of comfort and connection. Madi also loves drawing, solving puzzles, and getting lost in a good book.

Therapy with Madi is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gone quiet, hidden, or dimmed over time. You do not have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or rush toward change. You are met with curiosity, respect, and care exactly where you are. If you are looking for a space that honors both creativity and depth, where play and seriousness can coexist, and where your inner light is gently supported rather than forced into view, Madi is ready to walk alongside you as that light finds its way forward again.

Rachel Couch (she/her) works with teens, adults, and couples through a relational, depth-oriented, and embodied approach to therapy. Whether she is sitting with a teen navigating identity, relationships, emotions, or the strange terrain of becoming more fully themselves, an adult exploring the patterns beneath trauma, grief, burnout, or perfectionism, or a couple trying to find one another again beneath conflict and misunderstanding, Rachel is interested in what is happening beneath the surface and what becomes possible when we approach it with curiosity rather than judgment.

At the heart of Rachel’s work is the therapeutic relationship itself. She approaches therapy with warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and respect for the person sitting across from her. Rather than positioning herself as the expert on your life, Rachel works collaboratively, helping you notice what is happening in the present while making room for the history, relationships, losses, protective patterns, and unfinished experiences that may still be influencing you.

Rachel’s clinical lens draws from relational and Rogerian therapy, Gestalt, Jungian depth psychology and dreamwork, expressive arts, somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based practices. She has also completed Brainspotting Level I training, which complements her interest in trauma, embodiment, and the ways experiences may be held beyond what words alone can easily reach.

Rachel is especially interested in the places where words alone begin to run out. Depending on the client and what feels useful, therapy might include noticing what is happening in the body, exploring a dream or metaphor, experimenting with expressive arts, working with what is emerging in the here and now, or simply sitting together long enough for something previously difficult to name to become clearer. Nothing needs to be performed perfectly. Curiosity is welcome here.

Couples Therapy: Connection, Communication & Intimacy

Relationships have a remarkable way of bringing our deepest patterns into the room with us. The ways we learned to seek connection, protect ourselves, respond to conflict, communicate needs, and navigate vulnerability can become especially visible with the people who matter most.

Rachel works with couples who want to strengthen their relationship, understand recurring patterns, improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, align around shared values, and deepen emotional and physical intimacy. She is particularly interested in helping partners move beyond the exhausting question of who is right and toward greater curiosity about what is actually happening between them.

Rachel has completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level I training, bringing Gottman-informed concepts and interventions into her broader relational and experiential approach. Her work with couples can explore friendship and connection, conflict patterns, communication, shared meaning and values, trust, intimacy, and the ways each partner’s individual experiences become woven into the relationship.

At the same time, Rachel does not approach relationships as a formula to be perfected. Her Gestalt, relational, and depth-oriented lens creates room to become curious about what may be happening underneath the argument itself: the fear beneath the anger, the longing that has become difficult to express, the protective withdrawal that looks like indifference, or the old experiences quietly influencing what each person expects from connection.

The goal is not to create a relationship without conflict. It is to help couples understand themselves and one another more clearly, communicate with greater intention, and create a relationship with enough room for connection, authenticity, repair, and the inevitable complexity of being two humans trying to build a life together.

Depth, Embodiment & the Here and Now

Rachel believes therapy can help us move beyond simply knowing ourselves intellectually and toward experiencing ourselves more fully. Many people become remarkably skilled at analyzing their patterns while still feeling disconnected from what is happening inside them. Others have spent years surviving, caregiving, performing, achieving, or adapting to what everyone else needed and may no longer be entirely sure where they are beneath it all.

Her work invites clients to notice what is happening now: the tightening in the body when a certain story is told, the emotion that arrives before it can be explained, the familiar pattern that appears in relationships, the dream that refuses to be forgotten, or the part of yourself you have learned to keep safely tucked away. Gestalt and depth-oriented work make room for these experiences without demanding that they immediately become tidy or logical.

Rachel particularly enjoys helping clients reconnect with themselves after traumatic experiences have left them feeling dissociated, disengaged, or disconnected from their bodies. She incorporates nervous-system education and practical resources so clients can develop greater awareness of their internal experiences and build tools they can carry beyond the therapy room into everyday life and relationships.

The goal is not to excavate every dark corner simply because it exists. The work is about developing enough safety, awareness, and choice to meet what is there without being consumed by it. Sometimes healing involves changing something. Sometimes it involves grieving what cannot be changed. Sometimes it begins with becoming curious about the parts of ourselves we have spent years trying to avoid.

Trauma, Grief, Burnout & Finding Your Way Back to Yourself

Rachel is drawn to working with people navigating trauma and PTSD, complicated grief, burnout, perfectionism, major transitions, questions of meaning, and relationship difficulties. She also has a particular interest in supporting therapists, first responders, teachers, caregivers, and others in helping and healing professions who spend much of their lives caring for everyone else.

Therapy with Rachel makes room for both what hurts and what may be trying to emerge from it. Grief may need witnessing rather than fixing. Burnout may ask for more than another self-care checklist. Perfectionism may have a history worth understanding before it can loosen its grip. The effects of trauma may show up not only in memory, but also in the nervous system, relationships, body, and expectations of what might happen next.

Rachel is also drawn to the work of meaning-making and what she describes as “befriending shadow,” an approach influenced by her training in Jungian psychotherapy and depth-oriented work. Rather than dividing ourselves neatly into the parts we approve of and those we would prefer to exile, therapy can create space to understand the fuller landscape of who we are. The aim is not perfection. It is greater awareness, choice, authenticity, and the ability to live more fully as yourself.

Rachel welcomes neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients and approaches therapy with respect for each person’s identity, autonomy, lived experience, and way of moving through the world. Therapy is not about sanding away the parts of you that make other people uncomfortable. It is about understanding yourself more deeply and creating greater room for who you actually are.

Therapy for Teens: Room to Become

Adolescence comes with an unusual assignment: figure out who you are while your relationships, body, responsibilities, expectations, and understanding of the world may all be changing at once. Rachel works with teens who may be navigating emotional overwhelm, identity, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, grief, perfectionism, stress, or the complicated work of becoming more independent while still needing connection and support.

Rachel’s relational and experiential style can be especially useful for teens who do not want therapy to feel like an interrogation or an hour spent trying to produce the “right” answers for another adult. Therapy does not have to rely entirely on sitting across from someone and explaining feelings perfectly. Depending on the teen and what feels useful, sessions may incorporate conversation, creativity, metaphor, somatic awareness, humor, movement, or simply enough space to begin figuring things out without being rushed.

Rachel approaches teens as people with their own inner worlds, perspectives, strengths, and emerging sense of self. Her goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where teens can build practical ways of navigating difficult emotions and experiences, strengthen relationships, and explore who they are becoming without therapy becoming another place where they feel expected to perform.

Nature-Based & Walk-and-Talk Therapy

For some clients, four walls and two chairs are exactly what therapy needs. For others, something shifts when the door opens.

Rachel has a longstanding connection to nature-based and experiential therapy and offers Walk-and-Talk Therapy through Storm Haven when clinically appropriate. Sessions may incorporate walking, outdoor mindfulness, sensory awareness, nervous-system regulation, or simply the experience of having the body in motion while talking about difficult things.

Being outdoors can create a different kind of therapeutic space. Eye contact can become optional rather than constant. Movement can offer activated or restless energy somewhere to go. The natural environment provides changing textures, sounds, rhythms, and points of attention that may support grounding and present-moment awareness. For clients who spend much of their lives inside buildings, screens, responsibilities, or their own thoughts, stepping outside can make room for another kind of conversation.

Rachel’s extensive training in Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy also informs her relational and experiential lens, including her attention to authenticity, boundaries, embodied awareness, and what happens between living beings in real time. She completed a three-year Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy program and has experience incorporating equine work within community mental health. While equine-assisted psychotherapy is not currently offered through Storm Haven, the perspective Rachel developed through this work continues to influence the therapist she brings into the room.

Life Outside the Therapy Room

Rachel’s connection to creativity, nature, and embodied living does not disappear when the therapy session ends. She enjoys expressive arts, including doodling and watercolor, and has an appreciation for writing, poetry, nature, and experiences that invite us out of our heads and into more direct contact with life.

Horses have also played a meaningful role in Rachel’s personal and professional journey. Her years of Gestalt Equine training strengthened her appreciation for authenticity, relationship, boundaries, and what humans can discover when we slow down enough to notice what is happening in the present.

At home, Rachel shares life with a house rabbit and values having room for quiet, reflection, movement, creativity, and connection with the natural world. Her own commitment to self-care reflects something she also values clinically: creating a life with enough room to remain connected to yourself while continuing to care about and engage with the world around you.

If you’re ready to stop holding it all together alone and start reconnecting—with yourself, your people, and your peace—Becky offers a safe and genuine place to begin.

Therapy with Rachel is an invitation to become curious about what may have been buried beneath survival, expectation, grief, responsibility, perfectionism, or simply the relentless momentum of getting through the day. You do not need to arrive already knowing what needs to change or have the perfect words for what brought you here. You can begin in the here and now.

Together, you and Rachel can follow what emerges, listening not only to the story you already know but also to what your body, relationships, imagination, patterns, and quieter inner landscape may have been trying to communicate. There is room for depth without becoming lost in it, humor without bypassing what hurts, and growth that does not require abandoning who you have been in order to discover who you are becoming.

If you are looking for support for yourself, your teen, or your relationship, Rachel offers a space to explore what is happening beneath the surface while building greater awareness, choice, authenticity, and connection. Rachel is ready to meet you in the here and now and walk alongside you toward whatever comes next.

You’ve been holding it together for a long time. High expectations. Always showing up. Always doing what’s needed. From the outside, it might look like you’ve got it all figured out. Inside, the pressure is loud. The self-doubt even louder. Some days, it feels like you’re unraveling in ways no one can see.

Who Marinna Works With

Marinna works with people who are thoughtful, sensitive, and often carrying more than they let on, including:

• Teens navigating the messy, overwhelming terrain of growing up
• Women stretched thin by the invisible weight of expectations
• Perfectionists who appear composed while feeling anything but
• Sensitive, insightful people of all genders ready to get honest with themselves
• Those in seasons of reflection who sense something deeper is calling

She offers a grounded, compassionate presence and a space where masks can come off and your real self gets to take up room.

What Therapy with Marinna Feels Like

Marinna’s approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. She practices from a humanistic framework, meaning she sees you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Healing, in her view, happens through connection, compassion, and honoring your lived experience.

Together, you’ll explore what’s weighing on you, not just to manage stress, but to understand where it comes from and how to loosen its grip. This work is about noticing patterns, gently challenging what no longer serves you, and building something steadier underneath it all: trust in yourself, clarity in your choices, and the ability to take up space without apology.

Approach and Tools

Marinna integrates evidence-based practices thoughtfully and only when they support your story. Tools such as DBT skills may be woven in to support emotional regulation, boundaries, and coping, but never at the expense of the human experience.

You are not a checklist. You are a full story in motion.

A Guide on the Path to Healing

Think of Marinna as someone walking alongside you, helping you make sense of the parts of yourself that have felt scattered, silenced, or stretched thin. She supports you in untangling what’s been heavy and building something softer, stronger, and more true.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going, this space is for you. You don’t have to earn it. You just have to show up.

Outside the Therapy Room

When she’s not in session, Marinna is often seeking quiet. You might find her on a trail, camping under the stars, or unwinding near the ocean. She’s a pop-song-in-the-car singer, a LEGO builder, a movie rater, and a devoted dog companion. If emotional regulation could be built out of plastic bricks, she would already be halfway there.

Kim understands what it feels like to move through life appearing strong while quietly carrying storms on the inside. You may be the one who holds everything together for others. You may push through your days with a practiced smile or a hyper-independent streak that makes it difficult to ask for help. Perhaps you have learned to keep your emotions neatly tucked away, even as your body holds the tension of everything left unsaid.

Many of Kim’s clients come in exhausted from perfectionism, overthinking, spiritual disconnection, or years of feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotional well-being. Anxiety often shows up in the body as tightness, constant second-guessing, stomach knots, or the sense that you must stay alert just to feel safe. Others are healing wounds shaped by emotional absence, heartbreak, misattunement, or early roles that taught them to shrink their needs. Some feel everything intensely and struggle to manage others’ energy. Others feel disconnected from their emotional world and aren’t sure how to access it again.

Kim offers a space where those walls can soften. Where your inner world can be heard without judgment. Where you do not have to carry the weight alone.

Her presence is intuitive, grounding, and deeply human. She blends clinical insight with energetic awareness, helping clients tune into their body, emotions, and spirit in ways that feel accessible and empowering.

Healing Identity, Relationships, and Emotional Patterns

Kim supports individuals and families who want to feel more connected, more grounded, and more aligned with who they truly are.

In relational and premarital work, she helps partners slow reactivity, understand attachment patterns, and communicate without slipping into defensiveness or emotional distance. She works with partners who want to bridge emotional gaps, repair old wounds, reconnect spiritually, or find balance within relational dynamics.

For individuals, Kim specializes in identity healing, emotional expression, spirituality, and the internal reparenting work that allows people to feel whole again. Her intuitive style resonates deeply with empaths, highly sensitive people, and those who carry others’ needs before their own. She also works well with first responders, military members, and helping professionals who learned to survive by compartmentalizing emotions they now want to understand and integrate.

Sessions with Kim often feel like a steady exhale. A place where truth rises gently and where clients feel both supported and encouraged to grow.

Therapy for Those Learning to Feel Safe in Their Own Being

Kim works especially well with people who:

• Feel disconnected from their emotions, intuition, or identity
• Are healing from heartbreak, relational rupture, or emotional abandonment
• Are exploring spirituality, purpose, or deeper meaning
• Absorb others’ energy or struggle to stay grounded
• Carry perfectionism, people-pleasing, or hyper-independence
• Want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, or reconnect within relationships
• Long to rediscover who they are beneath fear, expectations, and old stories

Therapy with Kim is an invitation to move from survival into alignment. From shoulds into truth. From emotional disconnection into embodied clarity.

Approaches That Honor Mind, Body, and Spirit

Kim draws from a holistic, integrative approach that reflects both her clinical training and intuitive gifts. Her work may include:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for attachment and relational healing
• Narrative, Feminist, and Person-Centered frameworks for empowerment and meaning
• Trauma-informed and culturally attuned care
• Psychodynamic and IFS-informed insight for understanding emotional history and inner parts
• DBT-informed practices for grounding, emotional regulation, and balance
• Reiki energy healing and spiritually informed practices for clients seeking deeper alignment
• Somatic awareness for tuning into intuition and shifting patterns held in the body

Kim meets clients human to human, without pathologizing their experience. She believes your emotions are relevant, your story holds wisdom, and healing unfolds best from the inside out.

Outside the Therapy Room

Kim is purpose-driven and deeply values creativity, connection, and soulful exploration. She enjoys crochet, singing, podcasting, therapeutic tarot, adventure, and conversations that go beneath the surface. Her background as a crime analyst and her years as a youth mentor and confidence coach bring a unique blend of intuition, insight, and grounded presence into her work.

She believes we are spiritual beings having a human experience, that there is room for everyone here, and that when one person shines more fully, the world becomes brighter.

Her work is rooted in one unwavering truth:
It’s not too late. You’re not broken, and you’re not too much. There is capacity in you, and there is possibility, and you deserve a life that feels like your own again.

Isa understands what it feels like to walk into a room unsure if you’ll be judged, misunderstood, or expected to open up before you’re ready. You might be used to keeping things surface-level. You might deflect with humor, shut down when things feel too intense, or struggle to put words to what’s actually going on underneath.

Some clients come in feeling guarded or resistant, not because they don’t want help, but because trust has been hard-earned and easily broken. Others feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or carrying the weight of experiences they have not had the space to process.

For teens and young adults especially, it can feel exhausting to sit across from someone who “feels like a therapist” in all the ways that make it harder to be real.

Isa does not ask you to perform healing.

She meets you where you are, with honesty, steadiness, and just enough humor to make the hard moments feel more human. Her approach is grounded and direct, while still creating space for connection to unfold naturally. Clients often find that what starts as hesitation slowly shifts into something more open, more honest, and more relieving than expected.

Building Trust, One Real Moment at a Time

Isa specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relational conflict, and life transitions. Her experience in higher levels of care, including PHP and IOP settings, means she is comfortable supporting clients through both everyday struggles and more acute emotional challenges. 

She works especially well with clients who:

• Feel guarded, resistant, or unsure about therapy
• Struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or emotional overwhelm
• Have experienced trauma, including domestic violence or sexual assault
• Feel disconnected from themselves or unsure how to express what they’re feeling
• Experience conflict within family systems or relationships
• Want support that feels genuine, not clinical or scripted

In family work, Isa helps create space for communication that feels less reactive and more understood. She supports families in slowing down patterns, repairing connection, and building a foundation that allows each person to feel seen without escalating conflict.

Her work is rooted in the belief that people open up when they feel safe, not when they feel pushed.

Therapy That Doesn’t Feel Forced

Isa brings a trauma-informed, relational approach to her work, with a strong focus on pacing, trust, and attunement. Her style is both clinically grounded and deeply human, shaped by her experience working with clients in fast-paced, high-acuity environments. 

Her approach may include:

• Trauma-informed care that honors your pace and readiness
• Relational and attachment-based work to build trust and connection
• Cognitive and behavioral strategies for managing anxiety and overwhelm
• Family systems work to improve communication and reduce conflict
• Strength-based support that helps you recognize what is already working

Isa does not believe healing comes from saying the “right” things in session. She believes it comes from creating a space where you can actually be yourself, even if that self is unsure, guarded, or still figuring things out.

Outside the Therapy Room

Isa brings the same grounded, approachable energy into her life outside of therapy. She values connection, authenticity, and the ability to find humor even in the middle of difficult moments.

Her work is shaped by a simple but powerful understanding:

You do not have to have it all figured out to begin.
You just have to be willing to show up as you are.

Therapy with Isa is not about becoming someone else.
It is about creating enough safety to become more fully yourself.

Maybe you have become very good at getting through things. Or maybe lately you don’t feel like you’re getting through them very well at all. You may be overwhelmed, uncertain, disconnected, caught in your own thoughts, struggling in a relationship, or simply wondering why life feels harder than it used to. From the outside, you may appear to be doing just fine. Inside, the landscape can look very different.

Perhaps anxiety has become harder to quiet. Stress follows you home. Your emotions feel closer to the surface or strangely far away. A relationship has changed, grief has altered the shape of your world, or a transition has left you questioning who you are and where you are going. Maybe your confidence has taken some hits, you find yourself caught in familiar patterns, or you simply have the persistent feeling that something needs to change even though you cannot quite name what.

You do not need to arrive in therapy with everything figured out.

Pat offers a grounded, conversational space to begin wherever you are. His approach is rooted in curiosity, respect, and the belief that you are the expert on your own experience. Rather than assuming he knows what your life should look like, Pat works alongside you to understand what you are experiencing, what has shaped you, and what you want for yourself moving forward.

His background includes military service, leadership, emergency medicine, and fifteen years of working with people experiencing medical distress. Those experiences taught Pat how to remain grounded when another person is having a difficult moment. He is not easily intimidated by uncertainty, strong emotions, or conversations that do not have simple answers.

Making Sense of What You’re Carrying

People rarely arrive in therapy carrying only one thing. Stress can spill into relationships. Anxiety can make ordinary decisions feel enormous. Grief can appear long after everyone else seems to expect you to be okay. A transition can stir questions about identity, belonging, purpose, or what comes next. Old experiences can quietly shape the way you see yourself, respond to conflict, connect with others, or decide what you deserve.

Pat works with teens and adults navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. He is particularly interested in the stories people come to believe about themselves and how those stories influence confidence, self-worth, relationships, identity, and the way they move through the world.

Sometimes those stories sound like I should be able to handle this. Or I’m not good enough. Maybe you have spent so long living inside a particular understanding of yourself that you have never stopped to wonder whether it is actually yours, whether it is still true, or whether you are allowed to write something different.

Together, you and Pat can become curious about where those messages came from, what purpose they may once have served, and whether they still belong in the life you are building now. Therapy is not about erasing the ways you learned to survive or forcing yourself into a more acceptable version of who you are. It is about understanding yourself with greater clarity and creating more choices for what comes next.

Therapy That Makes Room for the Whole Human

You are more than the problem that brought you to therapy.

You may come in wanting help with anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, self-worth, relationships, grief and loss, identity, or a major life transition. You might be trying to make sense of a difficult experience or a pattern you keep finding yourself inside. You may simply want to understand yourself more deeply and have a place to talk about things that are difficult to say anywhere else.

You might also sit down and say, “I honestly don’t know where to start.”

That is okay too.

Pat believes therapy works best when you do not have to perform your way through it. You do not need the right clinical language, a perfectly organized story, or an explanation for every feeling. You are allowed to bring uncertainty, contradictions, questions, humor, frustration, hope, and the complicated unfinished parts of being human into the room.

Pat brings curiosity rather than assumptions to those conversations. He believes our differences do not need to disappear for meaningful connection to happen and strives to create a space where people with different identities, backgrounds, experiences, and ways of moving through the world can feel respected as themselves.

Therapy can become a place to slow things down enough to hear yourself more clearly, understand what has been happening beneath the surface, and begin deciding what you want to carry forward and what you may finally be ready to set down.

Your Story, Supported by Practical Tools

Pat takes a person-centered approach to therapy, meaning your experiences, values, goals, and understanding of yourself remain at the center of the work. The therapeutic relationship comes first, with clinical approaches and practical tools used in ways that support your individual needs rather than expecting you to fit yourself into a particular model.

Sessions may draw from:

Person-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative relationship rooted in authenticity, empathy, autonomy, and respect

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed skills to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating difficult moments

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to explore values, psychological flexibility, and meaningful action

Motivational Interviewing (MI) to compassionately explore uncertainty, ambivalence, and readiness for change

Pat recognizes that not everything that hurts is a problem waiting for the right technique. Sometimes therapy involves learning practical skills or approaching something differently. Other times it means slowing down, becoming curious about a pattern, making room for an emotion, or understanding an experience that has been difficult to put into words.

His role is not to become the authority on your life. It is to walk alongside you, ask meaningful questions, offer perspective and tools when they are useful, and help create enough safety for you to explore the answers that make sense for your life.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. You may know exactly what you want help with, or you may simply know that something needs to change. Therapy with Pat offers a grounded, collaborative place to understand what you are carrying, discover what matters to you, and begin finding your own way forward. You can bring the armor with you. You just don’t have to wear it the whole time.
