Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Forgiveness isn't one-size-fits-all, and it is not the same as forgetting or excusing. I help you figure out what forgiveness would actually mean for you, if it's even the goal, and work through the grief and anger underneath it.

What is Forgiveness?
It’s helpful to distinguish between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is the internal process of releasing the heavy burden of resentment and the desire for retribution. Exoneration, on the other hand, implies that the person did nothing wrong or is "off the hook." You can forgive someone while still acknowledging that their actions were unacceptable.
Should I Forgive?
The question of "should" is deeply personal. A better question might be: Is it safe for me to do so? Emotional Safety: Does holding onto this anger protect you, or is it draining your energy? Physical Safety: Forgiveness does not mean putting yourself back in harm's way.
The Role of Boundaries
One of the biggest myths about forgiveness is that it requires reconciliation. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to bring them back into your life the way they were before—or at all. You can find peace with the past while maintaining a very firm "no" in the present.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; a boundary is a gift you give your future.
We will work together to define what "moving on" looks like for you—whether that involves a restored relationship or a quiet, final goodbye.

Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when trust has been damaged or hurt has gone unresolved. Moving forward does not mean minimizing what happened or pretending the pain is no longer there. Therapy can provide space to process the impact of difficult experiences, understand what repair may look like, and decide what forgiveness means for you. My approach focuses on accountability, understanding, and helping individuals and couples determine what they need to move forward in a healthier way.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not about what the other person did. Its not saying that it is OK what they did. Forgiveness is about letting go of the anger and softening so that you are not carrying around the burden of the anger. While this is very hard, it is possible.
