How is your heart and spirit these days, and your body and nervous system? How are you holding up in connection with yourself, loved ones, the communities you hold dearest, the larger collective, and world? We’re living through a period of deep collective change, and many of us are feeling it so much. Life today asks more of us than we were made to hold alone. Are you wishing for more ease or a felt sense of ground as you navigate these overstimulating times?

Do you sometimes feel or wonder if you’re perceiving or feeling things more deeply, or in a more nuanced way than others, emotionally, physically, through your senses, and about all that his happening around you? Do interactions with others leave you feeling misunderstood or not as connected as you want to be, or are you just noticing and feeling more, attuned to and affected by subtleties? Perhaps you have grown up in an environment where you couldn’t be who you are, and you want a different way of living, being. Perhaps you are engaged with deeper knowings and understanding and are seeking something that is yet to be revealed or integrated, both individually and collectively. Being a sensitive person can feel particularly unsettling in an overwhelming environment and/or demanding times.

Maybe you’re seeking a space where you can access therapy without having to leave any parts of your identity or beliefs in justice at the door, a therapeutic environment where you can show up as all of who you are.

It is possible to feel more at ease and in connection with yourself and others. We are all wired towards healing, and our brains and nervous systems have an amazing ability to create new ways of being, experiencing, and relating. The relational trauma-informed and trauma-specific approach that I use is based in possibilities for growth and human resiliency, as well as heart-centered compassion and acceptance. It is possible to move through and with painful and disconnecting experiences, grow your awareness of, compassion for, and relationship with yourself and others, and connect with your internal strength, resources, goodness, aliveness.
