Trailhead Holistic Counseling

Holistic therapy for emotional trauma, anxiety, and burnout—through somatic work, mindfulness, and nature-based reconnection.

Real Healing for Real People—Beyond Diagnoses & Performance

You’ve done the work—therapy, journaling, meditation, mindset. You reflect, show up, and push forward

But underneath it all, something still feels stuck. Like your nervous system is carrying a weight your thoughts can’t shift.

You overthink. You second-guess. You feel overwhelmed—even when life looks “fine.” This isn’t about mindset anymore. It’s your body asking for something deeper.

You Don’t Need More Tools. You Need to Come Home to Yourself.

If therapy has ever felt too clinical—or self-help felt too shallow—this space is different.

You don’t need to be fixed. You need a place where your full self is seen: emotions, body, beliefs, and all.

Restoring Emotional Safety After Trauma

Trauma isn’t always one big event—it’s the impact of being misunderstood, silenced, or taught to perform at the cost of your truth.

Using somatic therapy, mindfulness, and the Hakomi Method, I help you release what your body is still holding. We create space for safety, self-trust, and real integration—at your own pace.

From Anxious Overwhelm to Calm & Clarity

When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive—or your energy feels bottomed out—healing starts by reconnecting with your body.

We integrate somatic tools, breath, and rhythm to move through anxiety, burnout, and depression from the inside out.

Tools for the Transition to Adulthood

Today’s youth are bombarded with emotional noise: identity pressure, self-doubt, social media, and a constant stream of “not enough.”

This is a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect. I work with teens and young adults who crave depth—not just surface advice—and need someone who actually gets it.

Emotional Healing for Men Who Want More

You don’t have to “man up” here. I work with men who carry emotional weight under masks of capability, perfectionism, or silence. Together, we explore identity, masculinity, and emotional freedom—without shame or outdated scripts. It’s not about fixing—it’s about getting real.

Support for People Hurt by the System

If past therapy or treatment left you feeling judged, over-medicalized, or unseen—you’re not alone.

This work offers a collaborative, body-based, and validating space to rebuild trust in the healing process—on your terms.

Is This You?

🌿 Insightful souls who’ve done the inner work—but still feel stuck in emotional loops self-awareness hasn’t fully untangled.

🌿 Individuals in transition—navigating identity, career, or relationship shifts—seeking clarity, not just coping.

🌿 Those drawn to a deeper, body-centered approach—beyond quick fixes or surface-level talk therapy.

🌿 Teens & young adults feeling anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about who they’re becoming.

🌿 Helpers, healers, and therapists who feel burned out, emotionally overloaded, or unseen in their roles.

🌿 Men exploring emotions, identity, and growth outside of outdated expectations.

🌿 Anyone healing from therapy that felt rigid, pathologizing, or disconnected from the body.

🌿 Earth-connected folks who feel most alive, grounded, and reflective when immersed in nature.

If you see yourself in any of this, I’d love to connect. Let’s find a rhythm that supports your healing.

My Approach

I combine trauma-informed therapy, somatic movement (Hakomi-inspired), nature-based practices, and mindfulness to help you shift from:

  • Hypervigilance → grounded presence

  • Emotional shutdown → embodied expression

  • Overthinking → intuitive knowing

  • Self-doubt → trust in your inner rhythm

You’ll Learn To…

  • Reconnect with your body’s truth

  • Release survival patterns like people-pleasing or emotional numbing

  • Reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your pace

  • Feel and move—not just think—your way into healing

You’re not broken. You’re just ready for a different kind of support.

Let’s start there.

Move, Feel, and Heal—Not Just Think Your Way Through It

Why This Is More Than Just a Job

I believe healing isn’t about fixing—it’s about remembering who you are.

  • I believe movement, ritual, and creative expression are medicine.

  • I believe depression, anxiety, and burnout often stem from disconnection—from ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

  • I believe our culture is missing rites of passage—and that meaningful change begins when we slow down, feel, and reconnect.

  • I believe in honoring the shadow as part of the whole—not something to fight, but something to integrate.


If this resonates, you’re in the right place.

The Beliefs That Shape Everything I Offer

About Me

This Work is Personal, and It’s Powerful.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience—but more than that, I’m someone who knows what it’s like to project strength while struggling quietly.

For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped people navigate life’s inner terrain—healing from trauma, managing anxiety and depression, or seeking clarity through spiritual and somatic reflection.

After years in high-volume therapy settings, I began to feel misaligned. I saw the cracks in systems that rushed people through their healing. What I wanted—what I knew clients needed—was more presence. More connection. More depth.

That’s why I created Trailhead Holistic Counseling: to offer something slower, more intuitive, more human. A space to truly land in yourself.

Before Becoming a Therapist…

I studied anthropology—which deeply shapes how I understand healing. Across cultures, healing was never just clinical—it was creative, spiritual, embodied. It was connected to nature, community, and ritual.

That lineage still speaks to me.

While I don’t practice shamanic healing formally, I’m inspired by traditions that honor the full self—body, mind, soul, and shadow. I believe healing is less about fixing and more about remembering: your rhythm, your wholeness, your connection to the world around you.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll find me in bookstores, digging through record bins, photographing quiet corners of nature, or rewatching Star Wars (again). I find peace on the trail, joy in movement, and occasional heartbreak as a lifelong Cubs fan.

These aren’t just hobbies—they’re the ways I reconnect with myself. And that’s the kind of healing I support: real, embodied, imperfect, and whole.

What People Are Saying

  • The best counseling I’ve ever had. From someone who genuinely cares about the well being of others. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Rob Talamante

  • Cody brings his life experience and level headed approach to his counseling. As a parent with a challenging teen who we placed into a facility where Cody was the counseling therapist. I appreciate Cody’s humor, his capacity to challenge our teen and his good way of explaining when things were complicated. Both for his kindness and the quality of his counseling, Cody was one of the best parts of our teen’s experience away from home. You will appreciate his demeanor and keen awareness as you or your child enters therapy with him. 10/10, top recommendation!
