Before you read on, take a moment to breathe. Inhale slowly, breathing in through your nose, filling your chest with air. Notice your chest rise, expanding until it feels tight. Now hold that breath; hold it for just a few beats… And release. Release all that air in one long slow breath out through your mouth. Notice your shoulders droop and your mind clear, ever so slightly. This might the first full breath you’ve taken in a long time. And it’s no wonder why: life can overwhelm us with so much worry, anger, doubt, shame, and sadness that we feel breathless.
It's time to breathe easier. Explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors within the safety of a therapeutic relationship characterized by warmth, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance.
From a humanistic foundation and with an emphasis on experiential methods, I help children, tweens, teens, and adults grow through their experiences and discover new ways of being. Contact the office to speak with a Joyful Hearts receptionist or email me directly to schedule your first session.
