Bring your story.
Come as you are.
At Story and Soul, therapy is about more than unpacking what's happened. It's about exploring how those experiences shaped the stories you believe about yourself, your worth, and your place in the world.
"If you need someone direct, I'm not afraid of truth. If you need someone steady, I'm grounded. If you need someone safe — I've been told I'm that too."
This work is deeply relational. Healing doesn't happen in isolation — it happens in connection. When we are witnessed, not judged… when we are believed, not fixed… something powerful begins to shift.
In this space, we co-create a relationship rooted in safety, honesty, curiosity, and mutual respect. We don't chase perfection. We move toward authenticity.

You're functioning. You show up. You do the things. And yet there's a low hum of something-isn't-right that follows you around.
The question isn't what's wrong with you. It's: are you living in alignment? Over four hours, Kirk and co-facilitator Sharon Hicks guide you through five domains where misalignment quietly takes root:
- Values — not the ones you inherited, but the ones you're actually living
- Emotions — as signals, not problems to manage
- Vulnerability — what it actually means, and why it only works in the right conditions
- Grief — the feeling of losing something, whether you had it or not
- Forgiveness — not a moral mandate, but a personal release that belongs entirely to you
