CARE THAT STARTS WITH CONTEXT, NOT ASSUMPTIONS

You get to arrive as a whole person.

Therapy can be serious work without being another room where you have to perform, translate, or shrink yourself. We start from understanding, then build the practical support that helps you feel more grounded, connected, and like your life belongs to you.

Tristan Byrnes, LMHC, and Christy Wolf, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, bring a collaborative, person-centered approach to trauma, identity, relationships, and neurodivergence. The goal is not to make you more palatable. It is to make more room for your real life.
