Shadow lives not only in the monsters we create, but the people we become.

When I was little, I cried for Darth Vader. I wanted to rescue him – seeing not a monster, but a man who was utterly alone with no one to love him or understand him.

In 2020, your foundation was cracked, shaken and perhaps even destroyed Your daily routines, annihilated. Your structure, gone. All the things you counted on to be reliable and stable shifted. Your empathic heart felt like it was put in a blender on pulverize. You are still feeling the effects and a desire to feel grounded. A need to catch your breath. Longing for a moment of peace.

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.

He reminds us we can only take too much before we break. Before our fears swallow us and we succumb. 

Empaths are people who are in sync with the energy around them.  They can feel the energy and emotions of others, animals, plants, and even the planet. 

Combining the power of soul retrieval, somatic and energy healing, psychotherapy provides the client with space to process and integrate the healing. We are a society that loves our stories, our daily lives revolve around the stories we tell, witness and participate in. Psychotherapy provides an outlet for these stories, to honor them, accept them, recreate them, change them, rewrite them, throw them away.

Your ego is the manager of the most popular night club in the world. It is responsible for everything that comes in and goes out of this night club. Constantly under pressure. Constantly trying to do it’s best under the circumstances.

Where does Shadow hide? Everywhere. Even in the purest and most innocent of places. In the broken, the hurt, the rejected. Shadow thrives on pain and society’s ideals and morals. We run from Shadow because it forces us to accept ourselves as we are: human and flawed. Not the perfect people we try to be.

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.

My wish for you more than anything, is that you heal. 

I want to believe that we, as individuals can create a movement to change the world.  Starting with each and every one of us.

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. 

Self care is vital to your wellbeing.  Taking time for yourself can rejuvenate you, as well as, help you to feel better and experience more joy!

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.

We are a society of traumatized people trying to hide our wounds in fear that the pack will turn on us. Feast on us and leave us to bleed out. We pretend, puff our chests and display our colors in hopes of scaring others off.
