Dave Holabeck, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
Life can be hard. Sure there are seasons of smooth sailing and calm waters but sometimes we can find ourselves sinking in a boat full of holes in the middle of a storm. It is in times like these where we need not be alone, we need a fellow journeyer, a listening ear, a helping hand, a creative solution.LEARN MORE
Trish Holabeck, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
I am passionate about journeying alongside people while offering a warm and comforting space. I believe in the healing power that comes from sharing your story with someone who genuinely cares and desires to understand you.LEARN MORE
Jillian Jackson, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
It is my joy and deepest desire to walk alongside teens and women who underneath it all feel alone, lost, or empty. People who may put a brave face on but at the end of the day don’t know who they are, why they struggle, or how it is ever going to get better. I offer a fresh perspective and a place of refuge away from the chaos of life.LEARN MORE

I find it a privilege to be able to walk with someone in their darkest moments and provide a place for you to be able to process while offering grace, compassion, and find a sense of integration.LEARN MORE
Emily Meyer, MA, LPCC
