Comfort is a catalyst for healing
“To practice healing wholly is to release the need for perfection or arrival, and instead immerse yourself in the unfolding journey, moment by moment.”
Welcome to Cozy Couch Counseling
A place where you’re invited to take off the emotional armor, get comfortable, and begin healing
Growing up in chaos, living through betrayal, enduring emotional neglect, or constantly feeling like you had to prove your worth—these are just a few life experiences that can make the world feel unsafe, leaving people stuck in survival mode—always on edge, always bracing for the worst. It’s exhausting. And for many, it becomes second nature to keep their guard up, never fully relaxing, never really feeling at home in their own body. After all, many of us were raised in homes—and by generations—that taught us to suck it up, stop crying, and keep emotions out of sight. We learned early that vulnerability wasn’t welcome, and that expressing emotions often led to shame, not support. But the truth is, healing doesn’t happen in that state. It happens when we feel safe enough to open up, to breathe, to let go.
That’s why creating a calm, comfortable space mattered so much to me. I wanted to offer more than just therapy—I wanted to create a space where people could finally feel at ease, even if just for a moment, so the real work of healing could begin.
Here, healing is more than just a process—it’s a journey toward balance, self-discovery, and resilience. Through a holistic, mindfulness-based approach, I help you reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit, embracing every aspect of who you are, who you are meant to be.
With a trauma-informed and compassionate lens, I provide a safe space where you can explore your past, gain clarity in the present, and step confidently into your future. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional pain, struggling with life transitions, or simply wanting to feel more at peace, we’ll work together to cultivate healing and growth in a way that feels right for you.
You don’t have to navigate this journey on your own. Together, we’ll embark on a path toward healing, balance, and rediscovering your true self.
Finding Your Land Legs: The Unsteady Journey into Therapy
Starting therapy can feel like stepping off of a ship after days or even years at sea—your legs, accustomed to the constant rocking of the waves, struggle to find stability on solid ground. At first, everything feels unsteady, as if the very foundation beneath you is shifting, even though you’re finally standing on something firm. You’ve learned to survive the unpredictable swells of life, adjusting instinctively to chaos, but now, therapy asks you to stand still, to plant your feet, to trust that the ground won’t betray you. It’s unsettling at first—disorienting, even—but with each session, you regain your balance. The wobbling lessens, your steps become surer, and soon, the solid ground that once felt foreign becomes your new normal. Therapy isn’t about instantly mastering this new terrain; it’s about relearning how to walk, one steady step at a time, until you no longer need to brace yourself for a storm that isn’t coming.
Unsure About Therapy?
Wondering If You Should Deal With It On Your Own?
If you’re unsure about starting therapy because expressing emotions feels uncomfortable, or you feel like, “how is talking to someone going to help me?”
Well, you’re not alone. Many people feel that way—especially if they’ve spent a long time carrying things on their own.
The truth is, everyone reaches a point in life where they need support, even if they don’t want to admit it. Asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s human connection.
And you don’t have to worry about what to say. You don’t have to have it all figured out. I’ll guide you.
Therapy isn’t about spilling your heart on day one—it’s about building a space where you can feel safe enough to open up, one step at a time. Just showing up is a powerful start. You don’t have to do this alone.
How Counseling Can Help
Thinking about counseling can stir up feelings of uncertainty, hesitation, or even fear. Opening up about personal struggles to someone new might seem overwhelming, but I want to reassure you—you are not alone, and seeking support is one of the bravest steps you can take toward healing.
It’s easy to feel like no one else understands what you’re going through, but countless others have walked similar paths and found comfort, clarity, and transformation through therapy. You deserve the same. In my practice, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts, emotions, and fears—where you will be truly heard and understood.
