Sometimes life’s struggles are too much to handle on your own. We’ll help you navigate the path forward.
Our mind and body’s reaction to trauma and relationship stress can feel like tangled strands of Christmas lights - chaotic, confusing, and impossible to sort through. You don’t even know where to begin. We’ll help you untangle the mess, one strand at a time, so you can find your way back to calm, clarity and confidence.
At Embracing Hope Counseling, we specialize in helping individuals who feel disconnected, stuck and frustrated in their personal relationships - as well as those carrying the weight of past trauma - get to the root of the issues so you can truly heal.
Therapy isn’t just about getting unstuck (or untangled); it’s about creating lasting change. Together, we’ll help you heal old wounds, rediscover your worth, and build relationships that feel supportive, secure, and genuine.
What therapy with us looks like:
Your therapist will first take time to get to know you — your story, your strengths, and the experiences that shaped how you learned to cope and connect. You’ll find our therapists are warm, affirming, and genuine. We create space for you to take off the mask, show up as your authentic self, and share openly without fear of judgment.
From there, we’ll help you make sense of what’s happening right now — what feels overwhelming, what’s keeping you stuck, and what you most want to change.
Together, we’ll move at your pace, gently untangling the roots of your stress or trauma while creating new patterns of safety, trust, and connection — both with yourself and others. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and getting to the root of the issue is not a quick fix, but a process that creates inner healing that endures. Whether short-term or long-term, we’ll help you move from insight to real healing, always checking in to make sure therapy feels supportive and effective for you.
You deserve a therapist who gets it.
We get trauma.
Our therapists are trauma-informed and trained in techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you safely process painful experiences that continue to affect your present. We understand how trauma lives in both the body and mind — and we’ll guide you through a healing process that helps you feel grounded, whole, and at peace.
We get relationships.
Rooted in attachment science and informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), our work helps you understand and transform the patterns that shape your relationships. For some, that means repairing and deepening an existing bond. For others, it means finding the clarity and confidence to make a healthy change or approach future relationships differently. Whatever your path, we’ll honor your goals and help you build the connection and self-trust you need moving forward.
We get people.
As social workers, our practice is grounded in the core value of respecting the inherent dignity and worth of every person. You’ll find our therapists are affirming, inclusive, and deeply human. We create space for you to show up as your authentic self — no masks, no judgment — and to feel seen, valued, and accepted just as you are.

Our Guiding Principles
1. Relationships heal.
We believe that meaningful change happens in safe, trusting relationships - both inside and outside the therapy room. The therapeutic relationship itself is part of the healing process, helping clients experience safety, connection, and emotional repair in real time.​​​
​
​
3. Insight creates change.
We help clients connect the dots between past experiences and present patterns so they can understand themselves more deeply. This insight opens the door to real transformation, not just symptom relief.
2. Healing takes courage.
We know that seeking therapy isn’t easy - it takes bravery to face what’s been painful and to hope for something better. Our therapists are lifelong learners who continually grow in skill and knowledge to provide ethical, evidence-informed care. We’re here to walk beside you with curiosity, honesty, and deep respect for your process every step of the way.
4. Everyone’s story matters.
Our practice is committed to an inclusive, affirming space where clients of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences can show up fully and authentically. Guided by integrity and a commitment to justice, we approach every session with respect, transparency, and compassion.
