'creators and sensitive ones?'

The many ways we can work together.....

What Emotional Landscape Are you Experiencing? ❤

Trauma,
neurodivergence
grief and loss ⤵

  • Your nervous system is talking loudly. You are easily activated in relationships. Your body remembers memories, but you can’t find the memory in your mind; you often feel hypervigilant but don’t know why. It takes days for you to return to a calm place. You feel shame often and want to just feel like a “normal” human.

  • You are grieving and experiencing new or old loss.

  • You are neurodivergent and want someone who gets having a magical brain.

  • Your childhood was painful, chaotic, and relationships seem harder for you than for your peers.

  • A boundary feels like punishment, and you are often afraid you will be left.

Relationship therapy and business partnerships ⤵

  • Something in your relationship(s) needs some care and attention. You are fighting too much; you are disconnected; you feel resentment; you are irritable with each other; you have stopped making time for each other; you both feel scared, and communicating just seems to keep you returning to that same old way of relating.

    Or

  • You are in a business partnership that is starting to feel messy. Financial survival is weighing you both down, and your work styles are different. Mistrust, annoyance, fear, and blame are things you frequently experience. Sometimes you even lean into co-dependent ways of relating because you haven’t found a way to talk to each other that works.

Creatives, small business owners, and sensitives ⤵

  • You are a creative whose soul is tapped into the pain of this world, so you feel big feels often. You are frequently overwhelmed (justifiably so), but struggle to tend to your day or yourself.

  • You’re a small business owner, and you want to talk to someone who gets it. Others can’t always understand what you’re building or ask you why you don’t just get a normal 9-5.

  • You want to leave corporate soul-sucking America, but don’t know where to begin, how to trust yourself, or often wonder, ‘can I even make a living being fully self-employed?’

  • Creativity is what enlivens you, and you want a therapist who understands what it’s like to be immersed in projects that light you up.

Anxiety, depression, & new emotional experiences ⤵

  • Your body feels panicky, or, on the flip side, frozen. You visualize the worst-case scenario before anyone else. Your heart races, sleep is hard, your mind is ping-ponging, and you shy away from socializing.

  • You’re irritable, annoyed, angry, lost passion + nothing feels good; food is whatever, and every day your body feels like you’re trudging through quicksand.

  • You are experiencing new emotions, and you don’t know what’s happening. You are crossing a path you’ve never walked before, and you want to make sense of wtf is happening.
