If I had a magic wand to take away today’s fear, uncertainty, and pain—for all of us—I’d use it in a heartbeat. Since I don’t, I offer gentle reminders for when the world feels heavy: rest, connect, move, feel, ask for help. We’re not meant to do this alone.

Have you ever been told you're 'too sensitive' or 'feel too much'? If so, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). High sensitivity is an innate, biologically based trait found in about 20-30% of the population—one that comes with deep awareness, empathy, and emotional depth. But in a fast-paced world, being highly sensitive can feel overwhelming. The good news? Sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. When understood and nurtured, it can become one of your greatest assets. In this post, I explore what it means to be an HSP, how to navigate the challenges, and how counseling can help you thrive.

Trilliums are often the first flower to bloom after the snow melts, a quiet reminder that transformation is always happening, even when we can’t see it. The same is true in counseling—growth begins beneath the surface long before we recognize it. Change can feel slow, even invisible, but one day, something shifts. A new awareness emerges, and we realize we’ve been changing all along.
