Hi, I'm V!

Vienna is a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR therapist (EMDRIA Certified Therapist™) passionate about helping people find lasting freedom from trauma, addiction, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Her work centers on restoring connection—to self, to others, and to the deeper identity we were each created for.

With extensive training in trauma-focused care, Vienna integrates EMDR, parts work, and holistic practices to support deep, sustainable healing. She believes that true transformation happens when people feel safe enough to be seen, known, and fully themselves again.

Outside of her work, Vienna homeschools her two children, bakes lots of bread, and finds peace in simple rhythms of faith, family, and creativity. She is married to her husband, Daniel, and together they share a passion for community, authenticity, and living from a place of freedom.

Hello, I'm Daniel.

Daniel is a dedicated firefighter based in Central Texas and a passionate advocate for the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of first responders. With years of frontline experience, Daniel leads peer support and small groups designed to build connection, resilience, and purpose within the first responder community. He is especially devoted to mentoring those pursuing a career in fire service, guiding them with honesty, integrity, and heart.

Outside of his professional and community roles, Daniel enjoys playing music, traveling with his family, and spending time outdoors… Most often on the frisbee golf course. He is married to his wife, Vienna, and together they have two children. Daniel’s commitment to service, mentorship, and authentic connection embodies BREATHE’s mission to create spaces for healing, growth, and grounded support.

Heyyyy Miss Miranda!

Miranda is a Master’s-level Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Bay Path University, where she is pursuing a concentration in Advanced Trauma-Informed Counseling. She is currently completing her graduate internship and works with adolescents and adults navigating a wide range of life experiences and challenges.

Miranda believes that meaningful counseling begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. She strives to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are — whether that means processing difficult experiences, sitting with uncertainty, or simply having a place to exhale without judgment. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. She believes humor, honesty, and human connection can be just as important as clinical techniques in helping clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported. She values building real therapeutic relationships and understands that healing often starts in the moments when people feel safe enough to be honest about what they carry.

Outside of counseling, Miranda enjoys spending time outdoors, especially exploring National Parks, where she finds peace, perspective, and a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature.
