Therapy for
the Highly Attuned
Immanence Therapy supports Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), Empaths, and Intuitives.
If you are considering beginning therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Therapy is a creative process that unfolds in sometimes mysterious ways.
The challenges we face tend to center around two questions: how to live, and how to be with difficulty. The more present we are with ourselves in the process, the more meaningful and ultimately healing the experience will be. But there is more.
We all are powerful creatures with the capacity to choose our reality, and to change it. If we look deeply, we will find that we are healthy and well at the core. We are all able to know and feel love, freedom, and peace. In our day to day life, we may forget this. We may have gotten used to limitations of who we can be in this life, and conditions for experiencing happiness. In this sense, therapy is a practice of remembrance.
The goal of therapy is to reconnect you with your innate gifts of intuition and instinct. Self-knowledge and self-mastery grow from returning into relationship with ourselves, with our forgotten true nature, our neglected parts. When we heal ourselves, we also heal our relationships, our families, our work, and our greater community.
Trauma Integration for Sensitive People
Sovereignty lies at the heart of my work at Immanence Therapy with all my clients, and working 1:1 is the best setting to explore what it means to be yourself and to also care well for yourself. When we stand in your sovereignty, we feel connected to ourselves and the world around us. There is a natural sense of confidence and ease in the way you move through the day and how you connect with others. Knowing yourself leads to this place. It is an invitation to meet yourself at a deeper, at a creative level. I work in an identity- and culture-affirming way.
My clinical focus lies on the integration of complex and collective trauma. Trauma, like resilience, can be transmitted through the lineage, and so I am finding that it is often helpful to bring a transgenerational and also transpersonal lens to the work of trauma. Sometimes this will mean the integration of ancestral resources. Other times, it will be important to pay attention to your dream imagery. Or perhaps you are looking to understand what it can mean to live authentically, to connect with a sense of purpose, to trust yourself, and to feel alive again. Philosophy and resonant wisdom teachings can help to make the therapy experience more meaningful. The experience of presence and insight is inherently a joyful and expansive one.
Strength expresses itself in different ways, and the joy of our work together will be in picking up those threads in your life and weaving them back together in a pattern that makes sense.
Clinical Focus:
- Anxiety: I support clients who experience symptoms of anxiety and stress, including generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
- Complex Trauma (C-PTSD): I offer process- and integration work for complex trauma, sometimes also called developmental trauma.
- Life Transitions: I offer support during the big transitions in life, including parenthood, marriage and divorce, career changes, coming out, relocation and immigration, as well as other personal paradigm shifts.
Client Focus:
- Immigrants and minorities: I support immigrants and clients with a complex international background, as well as ethnic and racial minorities, BIPOC, expats, and members of a diaspora or exiled clients.
- Healers and Health Practitioners: Clients who work as therapists, doctors, nurses, or holistic health practitioners often have a finely attuned nervous system, and they often face vicarious or secondary trauma through their work.
- Sensitive Leaders: I support clients who are highly sensitive (HSP), empathic and/or intuitive, and who find themselves in leadership positions and struggling to really step into these roles and the visibility that comes with them.
