My favorite number is number 5.
Five years ago, I planted a seed. A quiet vision rooted in the belief that the relationship between two human beings is most powerful therapeutic tool we have; to truly see, validate, and hold with understanding.
What began as a single room and a deep desire to honor the emotional lives of others has grown into something more layered, more connected, more alive. Over the years, I’ve witnessed the fear and courage of those confronting their pain, triumphs of the human spirit, and the sacredness of simply showing up. Imperfect and uncertain; the beautiful dance of acceptance and change.
I’ve seen the power of growth, vulnerability and excitement of my colleagues perfecting their craft and embracing their capacity to be an agent of change in this world.
This all hasn’t been without a few L’s and hard lessons along the way. And yet, I trust that sometimes the victory is in the s**t that DIDN’T happen.
I’ve grown alongside those who’ve entrusted me as clients, tried to learned from every session, and been humbled by the deeply human process. Hopefully with some success.
Today, I pause in gratitude for what’s come of the past five years, and motivation for writing the next chapters. The coming years will (hopefully!) bring expansion, innovative programs, new services and more collaboration; continued movement toward the mission. Dreaming forward. I hope we are doing right by what our communities need from us. The seed is blooming.
Thank you for being part of this story. I couldn’t be more grateful. Here’s to year five! 🙏🏽💚
