Welcome to
Arrowwood & Bare Root
Empathic Listening
The arrowwood shrub, with its strong, straight stems once used to make arrows, represents a person’s inner direction, truth, and readiness to be heard.
In empathic listening, we honor the stories that point to where someone has been - and where they want to go. Like arrows, their words have weight, meaning, and movement.
A bare root plant is exposed - its roots visible, untethered, raw. But it also holds enormous potential.
This mirrors what happens in a listening session: someone arrives stripped of presence, ready to be planted in safe soil. Through presence and care, they begin to root again - growing stronger in their own time.
We believe in honoring your direction and holding space for your roots.

Empathic listening is a powerful act of presence.
It’s not therapy, advice-giving, or trying to “fix” you. It’s simply holding space - attentively and without interruption - so you can process what’s on your heart or mind.
If you’re craving a safe, calm space to share your story, reflect aloud, or simply be heard you are in the right place.
These meetings are for anyone who needs an emotional reset or quiet connection:
Professionals navigating burnout
Caregivers who are emotionally exhausted
Anyone going through transitions
People who are grieving, healing, or overwhelmed by change
Anyone feeling unseen, unheard, or unsupported
Schedule your appointment today.
Who we are
Life can be heavy.
Whether you are carrying stress, sadness, or simply the weight of “being strong” for everyone else - you deserve a place to rest your voice. As a Licensed Social Worker, I created this space for one reason:
To offer compassionate, judgment-free listening for people who need to be seen, supported, and understood.
Compassionate emotional support, deep listening, and guidance rooted in Social Work principles for people navigating tough transitions, grief, caregiving, or burnout in a judgment-free space is available to you.
Empathic listening is not therapy, diagnosis, or crisis intervention.
