Hi, I'm aprofessional counsellor working with adolescents and women to help them grow and heal

You don’t have to keep guessing what people really mean.
That’s your brain doing what it learned to do: protect you from disappointment or rejection.

But constant decoding keeps you stuck in defense, not connection.

Healing is learning to ask, clarify, and trust yourself, instead of reading between the lines.

Because real safety doesn’t come from control. It comes from self-trust.

💛 If you struggle with this often, you don’t have to do it alone. In my sessions, I help you build self-trust, calm your nervous system, and feel confident in your worth, so you can connect without constantly decoding. Send me a message if you’re ready to stop reading between the lines and start feeling safe in your worth.

Drop a “🧠” if this resonates and save it for when your mind starts being tempted to read more into something than you need too.

Saw an ad claiming you could “rewire your brain and get rid of ADHD.” And honestly? My stomach dropped.

Not because change isn’t possible, it absolutely is. Brains grow. Skills build. Habits form. That’s neuroplasticity.

But ADHD is rooted in brain development and neurochemistry: differences in executive functioning networks, dopamine signalling, and neural pathways that form early in life.
You don’t erase that. You support it.

Real ADHD care looks like:
- Building routines that work for your brain
- Learning emotional + cognitive tools
- Dopamine-friendly strategies
- Self-compassion instead of self-criticism

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need the right framework, the right tools, and a world that stops telling you your brain is a problem.

Anyone selling “cures” is selling shame, not science.

We don’t cure neurodivergence. We honour it, understand it, and empower it.

If you’ve ever internalised the idea that you should be “more normal,” I hope today reminds you: You don’t need a cure — you need support that respects your neurotype.

👉 If you’re ready to work with your ADHD — to understand how your brain works, build strategies that fit you, and finally stop feeling like you’re “failing” — my ADHD Coaching sessions are for you.

We’ll focus on practical tools, emotional regulation, and strengths-based strategies that help you create calm, clarity, and confidence in everyday life.

This playlist is for when your therapist says “feel your feelings”
and you say “okay but can I do it with vibes?”

What song did I miss?

Drop your emotional support tracks below.

Have a good weekend friends.

There’s a recent trend of glorifying “being too busy for friendships” or “cutting everyone off for peace.”
But disconnection isn’t the same as healing.

Boundaries are meant to create safer connection, not isolation.

Please read that again.

Healthy boundaries are rooted in clarity, communication, and compassion. They protect energy without abandoning empathy.

Because community matters.

We are wired for connection. Even when we need space, we still need each other.

True boundaries don’t build walls—they build bridges strong enough to hold honesty, empathy, and respect.

It’s okay if you’re still learning the difference.
Most of us are.

Because real healing isn’t about shutting people out. it’s about learning how to stay open safely and show up for others with care for yourself too.

I’d love to know . Do you struggle with setting boundaries, or have you been on the other side and felt hurt by them?

You’re not overthinking because you’re broken. You’re overthinking because your brain doesn’t feel safe.

When your nervous system is stuck in alert mode, your mind loops through what ifs and should haves trying to protect you.
But protection mode isn’t peace.

My Overthinking Reset Bundle helps you calm your nervous system, quiet the mental noise, and find clarity again.

3 x 50-min sessions | Online or in-person.
