Our Philosophy

What Does It Mean to Have a Vibrant Heart?

To be VIBRANT is to have energy, vitality, and passion. It means expressing yourself fully and vividly, without the need to hide any part of who you are. It's standing strong in the face of challenges, knowing you can shine brightly when you love and trust yourself.

To have HEART is to be in connection with yourself and others. It's listening deeply within for answers to life's difficult questions, understanding your own values, and living a life inspired by intention. It's remaining open, compassionate, and in touch with your feelings so you can heal the pain that inevitably arises from life's challenges.

Therapy Specializations

Specialized support for the challenges that matter most to you, delivered with professional expertise and lived understanding.

Religious Trauma & Deconstruction

Leaving a rigid faith system can feel like losing everything. I guide people through healing from religious wounding and building new foundations rooted in authentic values.

LGBTQ+ Affirmative Counseling

Your queerness isn't an illness—but therapy still helps. As a transgender therapist, I understand the unique challenges of living as a sexual or gender minority.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders

When anxiety feels bigger than your ability to cope, you need more than "calm down" advice. You need practical tools and understanding support.

Trauma lives in your body, not just your mind. Using EMDR therapy and somatic approaches, I help you process traumatic memories safely.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I'm Devan

For 21 years, I lived the life that was expected of me—the "right" school, the "right" jobs, the "right" church. There was a part of me dying to break out, to speak what was true for me, and to live my most authentic expression.

My own journey has been an ever-evolving path exploring identity, self-expression, personal truth, and spirituality. In that process, I discovered the deep peace that comes from living authentically and cultivating compassion.

Now, as a licensed therapist and certified coach, I help others navigate their own transformations—whether that's leaving rigid faith systems, healing from trauma, or building relationships that truly nourish.
