Therapy for
the Highly Attuned
Immanence Therapy supports Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), Gifted Souls, Empaths, and Intuitives.
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.
I serve specifically the highly attuned community, which tends to go by a few different names: High sensitivity (HSPs), giftedness, as well as being an empath or a highly intuitive person can all be expressions of the trait of high attunement to one’s environment, to other people and their needs, but also to one’s own internal processes. Frequent issues can be anxiety, extractive relationship patterns, a strong need for belonging and being understood. You may or may not resonate with neurodivergent phenomena, such as the autism spectrum experience. Trauma may or may not be part of your or your family’s story. At times, immigration or a complex cultural background might come into play too. I work in an identity- and culture-affirming way.
Trauma Integration for Sensitive People
Sovereignty lies at the heart of the work at Immanence Therapy, and working 1:1 is the best setting to explore what it means to be yourself and to care well for yourself. When we stand in our 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.
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 may experience 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.
