Secure to Love Again™

Attraction can feel powerful — but not all sparks are safe. Learn how to tell the difference between true connection and trauma-based chemistry with this grounded guide.

For years, I worked with clients who had done all the “right” things — therapy, self-help, growth work — and still felt stuck. What was missing? Integration and forward motion. That’s why I combine counselling and coaching: to help you heal the past and build what’s next. Because real change doesn’t come from insight alone — it comes from feeling safe enough to move forward. At Beacon Hill, we do both.

Rescue dogs don’t love easily. They’ve been through things. But when they do choose to love you, it’s with a heart that has known fear, loss, and pain—and still leans in. Just like us. This post is for every woman learning to trust again, who’s been hurt but still has hope. Because loving like a rescue dog means loving bravely, not perfectly.

If you’ve ever found yourself fighting for connection, overthinking every text, or giving too much just to feel loved — it’s not because you’re bad at love. It’s because your nervous system learned that love could feel dangerous. You don’t need to be fixed. You need safety, self-trust, and love that feels like home. I wrote more about this on the blog today. 🌿
