Talking about what’s troubling us can feel exposing — which is exactly why so many of us carry things alone for a long time.

Yet something shifts when a difficulty is spoken aloud, slowly, to someone who isn’t going to judge or rush you. It becomes a little more manageable. It takes shape. You’re no longer holding all of it by yourself.

That’s the heart of what I offer: a calm, confidential space to put things into words, and to be met with warmth while you do.
