Covid 19 is disrupting our norm, causing panic, creating change and bringing awareness. For many, dealing with covid 19 is like grieving. We move through Kubler Ross's 5 stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Furthermore, Covid 19 has also spurred a fear response, as we rush to the stores to stockpile supplies in the face of our own mortality. Whether you are navigating covid with a grief response, fear response or from an emotional place there are things you can tend to your emotions and live from a place of calm.

Emotional Hangovers

Emotional hangovers happen after we process, expel, release, and feel intense, usually overpowering emotions.

Emotional hangovers can happen when we are stressed, anxious, depressed, burnt out, suffering from compassion fatigue, overwhelmed, grieving, feeling trapped and stuck in life.

Falling into Depression

We fear those emotions that we do not like to feel. As if by feeling them they will consume, swallow and change us.

It’s the dark that we fear. The being caught in quicksand with no life rope. That if we allow these feelings, depression, sadness, grief, pain, hurt in they will never leave.

Hurt People

We, you can heal wounds. They do not get to define you or become you. It starts with allowing yourself to see them. Tend to them. Treat them. Let them go. Create the life you dream. Your wounds are experiences that inform your growth.

Self harm, empaths and highly senstive people

Empaths and highly sensitive people are beautifully tender people. They feel everything. They are sponges, soaking in everyone and everything's emotions, feelings, thoughts and energies. However, sometimes they don't know how to filter or wring out what they pick up.

Communication Without Words

Art moves us. It is a nonverbal form of communication. Much like our dreams. Images and rhythms are allowed to express where words fall short.

Can you help me?

I want you to be empowered. I want you to have a safe sacred space to be seen and heard. To express yourself. To share and explore your life story.

What is therapy?

A place of deep and profound healing. Here is where you shed the old and embrace the new. You work through pain and trauma, empowering it to be a source of potency and strength not a shame or guilt.
