“Suicide is something that touches the hearts of many from all walks of life. To experience the pain of living so intensely that death feels like the only solution is one of the scariest and most isolating experiences one can possibly face. Having the courage to let another in, to share that pain, to process and begin to heal takes trust. Trust in oneself, trust in another, trust in the process of life itself. This trust may not be accessible in the beginning. Still, like a seed planted in the winter, over time, it can start to grow if it is properly cared for, eventually blooming into something unexpectedly beautiful.
 
I have had the honor to walk alongside some of these resilient, brave individuals. Over the years, this work has continued to reveal that standing in the fire of pain with a trusted other allows it to slowly transform into expansive strength, insight, and a capacity to come out on the other side with a deeper understanding of oneself and compassion for the human condition.
 
We are all human, bearing witness to the pain of being allows one to feel less alone. Connection is a fundamental need for us all, and we are here as a reminder that you do not have to be alone in this pain. That there are others who can walk with you through the pain, moving towards the other side of healing from the wounds that caused life to become unbearable. We hold the hope that you will find your path, your purpose, and your ability to find yourself again. And we are humbled to be able to hold the space for you to do so.”
