✨ 7 Years of Bright Awakenings Counseling ✨
Seven years ago today, I opened Bright Awakenings Counseling with one simple mission:
To Heal the Past to Brighten the Future.
Over the years, that mission has only become clearer.
Today, I primarily help adults who have spent much of their lives caring for everyone else while quietly neglecting themselves, carrying anxiety and guilt when they do set boundaries. I help them to find peace by balancing their needs, setting boundaries, while maintaining healthy, loving relationships.
This past year has been especially exciting as I've expanded my work by integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy alongside EMDR and parts work (ego state therapy), which has become such an important part of my approach. Together, these therapies help clients move beyond simply coping with the past; they heal the past.
Another exciting piece I would like to share is a new program that will be released in the near future.
🌿 Honoring Self will be a self-paced program designed to help you better understand your inner world, reconnect with your authentic voice, and respond to life's stressors with greater confidence and self-compassion. It can be used as a stand-alone personal growth program or alongside therapy—whether you're working with another therapist or me.
Evelyn Underill said, "It is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life."
I couldn't agree more.
When we learn to honor our inner world instead of ignoring it, healing becomes possible. And with healing comes awakening.
Thank you to every client who has trusted me with your story over these past seven years. It is an honor I never take for granted.
If you've been wondering whether it's finally time to stop carrying everyone else's emotional load and begin listening to your own inner voice, I'd love to help.
💛 Here's to healing the past, honoring yourself, and brightening the future!
