Grounded Growth Counseling
Trauma-informed care for overfunctioning women and emotionally stuck couples.
Welcome to Grounded Growth Counseling
We work best with motivated individuals and couples who are willing to engage in the process, even when it is uncomfortable, and who are ready to move toward change rather than continue repeating the same patterns. Many of the people we work with come in feeling overwhelmed or stuck, but still holding a desire to understand each other differently and rebuild something more secure.
In sessions, we don’t just talk about what’s happening, we slow it down as it happens. We pay attention to the cycles you get caught in: pursuing and withdrawing, escalating and shutting down, defending and disconnecting. Then we work directly with those patterns in real time so something different can actually be experienced in the room, not just understood intellectually.

Ongoing Individual Therapy
If you find yourself repeating patterns in relationships that you can see clearly but cannot seem to stop, that is not a character flaw. That is what unresolved relational trauma looks like in a nervous system that learned to protect you.
This work is for people carrying the weight of complex childhood trauma, difficult attachment histories, or the kind of damage that past relationships can leave behind, the ones that made you smaller, or taught you that love was conditional, or left you not quite trusting yourself anymore.
Ongoing Couples Therapy
Ongoing couples therapy provides a consistent space to better understand the patterns keeping you stuck and begin creating healthier ways of relating to each other over time. Together, we work to improve communication, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen connection, and shift the cycles of conflict, shutdown, resentment, or disconnection that can leave couples feeling exhausted and alone. Sessions are active, relational, and focused not only on insight, but on helping you experience each other differently and build lasting change in everyday life.
The "Relationship Reset” Restorative Couple’s Intensives
Relationship intensives provide couples with dedicated time and space to work through painful patterns, conflict, disconnection, or major relationship challenges in a deeper and more focused way than traditional weekly therapy often allows. These active sessions are for couples feeling stuck, emotionally disconnected, navigating betrayal or high conflict, preparing for major decisions, or wanting to accelerate progress in therapy. You’re gonna get months’ worth of work done in hours.
