Live in your strength

Therapy for Women and HSPs

Online Therapy in Madison and throughout Wisconsin, Massachusetts & DC

Living deeply means you feel things, a lot.

Criticism, beauty, pain - these all go straight to your gut, and don’t let go easily.

Living deeply can leave you feeling….

depleted

Like a dried-out sponge. Never rejuvenated, always wanting more sleep. Like a magnet for other people’s emotions, and tired of saying yes to everyone else.

extremely fragile

Keenly feeling other people’s pain, and reeling from any kind of loss or transition. Experiences of not being understood (and often feeling invalidated or criticized) leave you hesitant to open up and be vulnerable again.

like everything you do is wrong

Like you’re not normal, defective, that you need to be fixed. You feel like you don’t have the words to ask for what you need.

But living deeply doesn’t have to be drowning

Living deeply can be full of….

delight

Dancing to your favorite music. Snuggling with your cat.
Wrapping up in your softest blanket.

meaning

Making the world a better place.
Laughing with your best friends.
Reading to your child. 

beauty

Drinking in a sunset.
Walking in the woods.
Singing in harmony.

Together, we will build resiliency and strengthen the

insight, compassion, and vibrance

that is already within you.

It’s possible to feel alive again.

Hello, I’m Bronwyn.

I’m glad you are here.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Accommodating other people is your superpower

  • Your previous therapy may have been helpful but you didn’t feel understood

  • You do know you want to dig deeper in therapy

If so, you’re in the right place.

Feel Alive Again

You know what alive feels like. You’re just not feeling it now. It’s possible to get there again.

Therapy for Anxiety

Nurture your resilience

Anxiety is telling you something. Listening with another person helps make it less scary.
