💫 Emotions: understanding, feeling, and healing
Therapy to help you (re)connect with your emotions and with yourself.

When Emotions Feel Too Much (or Not Enough)
Sometimes emotions can feel overwhelming - like waves of sadness, worry, or anger that rise before you know what’s happening. Other times, they can feel out of reach - a sense of numbness or disconnection where you wish you could feel more.
You might find yourself thinking:
“I’m tired of feeling on edge or overwhelmed.”
“I don’t even know what I feel anymore.”
“I try to stay calm, but inside I’m falling apart.”
“I want to feel closer to my partner, but my emotions get in the way.”
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Emotions can be confusing, especially if you’ve learned to hide, minimize, or manage them on your own for a long time.
💛 The Role of Emotions in Healing
Emotions are not the problem — they’re the path forward. They’re signals from within that help us understand what we need, what matters, and where we’ve been hurt.
In therapy, we slow things down and create space to explore what your emotions are trying to tell you — gently, without judgment.
You’ll begin to:
🌿 Understand what’s happening beneath the surface
💬 Name and express feelings in safe, grounded ways
🕊️ Regulate emotional intensity with compassion
💞 Share emotions in ways that deepen connection
As you gain this emotional clarity and confidence, you’ll start to experience more safety, balance, and (re)connection — within yourself and in your relationships.
🌸 How I Help
I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based, and trauma-informed approaches to help you develop a healthier relationship with your emotions.
Together, we’ll:
Identify patterns that lead to emotional overwhelm or shutdown
Understand how past experiences shape your current emotional reactions
Practice new ways of responding that bring calm, clarity, and connection
Rebuild trust in your emotions as guides - not threats
Over time, you’ll begin to feel more grounded, attuned, and emotionally alive - able to respond rather than react, connect rather than withdraw, and meet life’s challenges with greater ease.
🕊️ What (re)connection feels like
Clients often describe this process as feeling like:
✨ More breathing room
💛 A softer inner voice
🌿 Closer, safer relationships
💫 Gentle transformation — from surviving to living
When emotions become allies instead of obstacles, your whole experience of life begins to shift.
🌼 Begin Your Journey Toward Emotional (Re)connection
Whether you’re feeling anxious, numb, or emotionally distant in your relationships, therapy offers a calm space to slow down and listen inwardly - with curiosity, compassion, and care.
Together, we’ll help you (re)connect with your emotions, your relationships, and your JOY.
