The Care Support Specialist

I started Down To Earth Counseling to create the kind of space I wished for at so many points in my own healing journey—calm, grounded, and deeply human. A space where humans could be met with compassion, and where change could unfold at a pace that honors the body, mind, and spirit.

My path to becoming a trauma therapist hasn’t been a straight line—it’s been a winding, deeply personal one. Like many of the people I work with, I’ve carried trauma that didn’t always have language. I knew how to function, how to show up, how to care for others—but my own nervous system was often stuck in patterns of survival I didn’t fully understand.

In 2022, something small brought that into focus. I noticed that every morning when I went to put on my mascara, I would stop breathing. My body would freeze. I tried to will myself to breathe through it, but I couldn’t. That moment revealed something important: even though I had been trained in EMDR and other clinical approaches, there were still layers of trauma that talk therapy alone couldn’t reach—both in me and in the clients I worked with.

Camille is a trauma-focused therapist licensed in North Dakota and Minnesota with 11 years of experience. A U.S. Air Force veteran, she blends traditional therapy with Somatic Experiencing tools and concepts. Known for her direct yet compassionate approach, she integrates mind-body techniques to support whole-person wellness. She also holds a 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification and offers care for adults both in-person and via Telehealth. In May 2026, Camille completed Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists with Kathy Kain, a leading trauma therapist in her field.
