Return to Yourself

Come home to what’s real in you—beneath coping, striving, and the stories that once helped you survive the impossible. Many arrive after therapy that stayed on the surface, focused on identifying problems and offering quick fixes. Others come after experiences that felt mis-attuned or non-affirming—where identity, history, or lived experience weren’t fully seen or respected.

When feelings are silenced, shame grows and belonging frays. Coping alone can’t mend the weight of systems that limit and exhaust us. What begins to heal is connection—real, attuned, and human. Here, we trust that connection itself is the therapy. Together, we move slowly enough to notice what’s happening within you, between us, and in the world around you. Through steady presence, safe connection, and shared curiosity, change takes root as reclamation of your own truth and vitality.

Over time, Our COllaboration Will Gently invite you to:

  • Reclaim your voice, values, and inner rhythm
  • Strengthen connection to self and each other
  • Let grief and longing open paths to healing
  • Find clarity that unfolds, rather than chasing fixes
  • Create, move, or cultivate rest as self expression
  • Live from your truth, not adaptation to power
Returning to yourself invites you to reclaim what’s been waiting beneath survival and ready to be met with care.

Context

You Make Sense

Life asks so much of you. Maybe you’re here because you’ve survived demands, histories, and ways of working, learning, or healing that didn't met you. You may have pushed through, made yourself small, stayed watchful, or stepped back from community. Those responses kept you safe, secure, or alive.

Over time, numbness, exhaustion, grief, and “burnout” can grow heavy. You might have done so much already—structured therapies, skills-based programs, retreats meant to help you reset—and still feel unseen, unheard, or unsupported. Maybe the care you received focused on changing patterns but couldn’t reach the pain beneath or the systems and relationships that shaped it.

Your responses to struggle and harm make sense. You make sense. Nothing in you needs rescuing—only understanding and the dignity of being met as you are.

You’ve adapted long enough. Let's work with your experience—not around it—and never without you.

Roots

Care We Deserve

Hi, I’m Clayre (she/they). I’m a registered psychotherapist and board certified art therapist who’s spent my life learning how to live in a world that wasn’t built with me in mind. I’ve known what it’s like to be unmet by systems that promise care. I’ve found ways back to care.

This online therapy practice is one of those ways back.

The practice grew from that path: a wish that others wouldn’t have to fight so hard to access care. I know the isolation of trying to fit the mould, explaining again, and showing up in spaces that don’t know how to help. Here, we don’t have to translate ourselves or leave parts of ourselves behind. We can arrive as we are with every breath, movement, feeling, and story welcome.

This work blends together what I’ve studied and what I’ve lived: relational and experiential therapy, parts work, and creative arts alongside Focusing Oriented Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Dr. Janina Fisher's TIST. Before this work, I was a massage therapist and a yoga teacher. Over time, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t a fix, it's an accompaniment. It’s a practice of reclaiming who we are and what stirs in us, even in the face of threat.

More than any method, what matters most is how we meet ourselves and each other—with curiosity, presence, and respect for the felt sense our bodies hold. This practice is both personal and collective—a steady return to ourselves, to one another, and to the quiet freedom to remember ourselves in a world that makes us forget.
