Who We Help

Healing starts with understanding what your nervous system learned to do to protect you.

We support individuals, couples, and families navigating:

Trauma and PTSD

Childhood trauma, emotional neglect, abusive relationships, attachment wounds, abandonment, or shock trauma.

Partner Betrayal Trauma & Relationship Recovery

Whether the betrayal was emotional, physical, or related to compulsive sexual behavior — we help partners process the shock, grief, confusion, and relational rupture.

Behavioral Addictions

Pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, love addiction, technology addiction, gaming addiction, and patterns driven by shame and dysregulation.

Couples & Family Repair

Disconnection, communication breakdowns, emotional distance, infidelity, compulsive behaviors, and complex relational patterns.

Anxiety, Shame & Identity Wounds

High-functioning anxiety, chronic guilt, people-pleasing, boundary struggles, self-worth wounds, and internalized pressure.

Somatic Dysregulation

Panic, shutdown, numbness, hypervigilance, dissociation, chronic tension, or difficulty calming the body.

*If you see yourself anywhere in the above, you’re in the right place.*
