When talking isn’t enough, healing can begin by listening to your whole self—body, mind, and the parts of you that have been carrying too much for too long.

If you live with anxiety, you probably know the feeling well: racing thoughts, a quickened heartbeat, tightness in your chest, a sense of dread that seems to come out of nowhere.

Some life transitions come with ceremony—weddings, graduations, retirements, funerals. We dress up, gather with others, and mark the moment with words, gestures, and ritual. These events help us make sense of change, offering shape to something otherwise hard to grasp.

In my work as a pluralistic therapist, I’m guided by the belief that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing—and that’s especially important when working with people whose experiences fall outside of what society often calls “the norm.”
