The Roaming Psychotherapist

03/05/2026

When we moved, I had this cute fantasy that everyone would use the front door. There’s a closet there. It makes sense. It's logical. But no one. Not a single soul uses it.

Everyone barrels in through the back door and just drops their shoes directly into my nervous system..I mean the kitchen. So I did what any burnt out, overstimulated Mom does: I asked nicely. I reminded, I repeated myself 47 times.. then I slowly started losing my mind each time I tripped over a shoe.

So you know what I did? I put a bigger shoe rack exactly where chaos happens. By the back door. Right in my kitchen. Yesterday, my husband goes: "Why did we get a bigger shoe rack? We don’t need that." I'm sorry but we absolutely do. Because here’s the thing no one tells you about ADHD: I don’t need less stuff. I need better systems that work WITH my nervous system, not against it.

And suddenly? No more daily shoe arguments. No more me rage cleaning footwear at 9PM. No more wasting energy on a problem that has a very obvious solution (in my ADHD brain anyway).

Do I now have a big ass shoe rack in my kitchen? Yes I do. Do I give a single f*ck? Absolutely not. It makes my life easier. It makes my brain quieter. It makes my house less chaotic. That's the only metric that matters. So if you come over, please compliment my extremely effective, slightly aggressive life system. ❤️‍🩹

New blog post. ❤️‍🩹

There’s a version of burnout that doesn’t look like falling apart. It looks like showing up. It looks like getting things done. It looks like being the one everyone can rely on. And that’s exactly why no one notices it. ...

I was at it again this week...

- A little unconventional.
-Always grounded and intentional.

If it works, it works! See you next week. 🫡❤️‍🩹

Some of us don’t need to try harder, we just need more time. A lot of sessions go like this: you settle in, stay a bit surface, start opening up halfway through, and then finally hit the real thing right at the 45 mins mark.

And it’s like "Cool. Time’s up." SO. I’m now offering 100 minute deep dive sessions for individuals and couples.

For people who...

- overthink and spend 40 minutes explaining before feeling.
- "don’t know where to start" then drop something huge at minute 47.
- circle the thing instead of going straight into it.
- want to slow down and stay there just a bit longer.
- finally feel safe... when the session ends.
- are ready to go deeper but keep getting cut off by the clock.
- "didn’t realize that was the real issue until just now" crowd.

And for couples who…

- spend 40 minutes arguing about how something was said instead of what actually hurt.
- finally get honest about the real stuff (no, it's not who does the most chores)... right when the session is ending.
- need more time to slow down enough to notice and sit with feelings instead of reacting to each other.
- need the first half of the session to air out all their dirty laundry and point fingers before diving deeper into their cycles.

These longer sessions allow space to actually stay there, sit with, not rush the process, not cut off the work right when it starts to matter.

Ready to dive in? 🤿💙

I love your friends. I really do. They are doing their absolute best with vibes, memes, and emotional support voice notes sent at 11:47PM. And sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Also, your friends will hype you up while you're actively re-entering the same chaotic situation for the 10th time like: "just protect your peace" while you're texting the person who ruined your peace. Again.

I'm over here like: "okay but what part of this feels familiar and why does your nervous system think this is home?" Your friends will say: "they’re toxic, cut them off." and I'm like: "okay but why do you feel guilty when you try to leave?" Your friends will say: "you deserve better." and I'm like: "I agree. So what about deserving better feels uncomfortable to receive?"

Both are helpful. Both are important. One just comes with less accountability and more chaos. I'm just saying that your group chat can't unpack your childhood, your attachment wounds, your trauma responses, AND your current situationship at the same time. They have jobs. They have their own spirals. They are also texting their own red flags.

Therapy is where we zoom out and go: "hey.. this isn’t random, it's a pattern." And then we sit in it long enough to actually understand it instead of just slapping a "blocked" sticker on it and calling it growth.

So no, you don’t need therapy because your friends aren’t enough. You need therapy because sometimes you're the common denominator and your friends are too nice to say it like that. The goal isn't to ruin your personality or take away your chaos it's just to make sure your life isn't quietly running on autopilot from old wounds while your friends are in the background like: "omg babe not again!" ...😭😂

Anyway… see you in session❤️‍🩹

Monday vibes 💫✨

First bike ride of the season and it feels like coming back to myself. Sun on my face, wind in my hair, nothing but egg yolk sunshine and blue sky.

Is my bike new? No. Am I prepared? Not really. Been biking over an hour and I just remembered that I still have to make it all the way back. 😂😭

Maybe that’s the point. You go out a little unprepared, a little unsure, and you trust that you’ll always find your way back. And on the ride home, you remember that you can do hard things. 🚲🌞❤️‍🩹

I broke some clinical rules again this week.

The kind that would make some supervisors sweat and slowly nod and stare while removing their glasses (you know the vibe). At this point in my career, I’m a lot less interested in doing it “right” and focused on what actually lands.

Anyway. Catch me next week breaking rules, reading the room, and choosing attunement over perfection.

Unhinged? Maybe a little.
Does it always fit the manual? Not even a little.
Effective? 💯
Human? Always. ❤️‍🩹

There’s something about the people who walk through my door.. I genuinely love y'all. I get a front row seat to real, raw, complicated human stories every single day, and somehow you trust me with the parts you don’t show anyone else. That’s not something I take lightly.

Also, I have this thing where I get to the core of the issue really fast. Like, deep dive, straight to the onion’s center in record time. People will pause mid session and go, “How did you just do that?”

And I’m just sitting there like.. honestly? No idea. No strategy. No magic script. Just vibes and a deeply non judgmental nervous system. I show up as a real imperfect human. No performance. No filter. And once people realize I come by this work honestly.. the floodgates open and we’re suddenly knee deep in the real stuff.

I love that space. The honesty. The relief. The “oh wow, I’ve never said that out loud before." Feeling really grateful this Friday morning. For the trust. For the connection. And for the absolute privilege of doing work that lets me witness people being fully, unapologetically human. ❤️‍🩹

Teen texting: The confidence. The chaos. The absolute lack of concern for my sanity.

And somehow, these same kids are out here being smart, kind, funny, doing well in their lives, and growing into genuinely amazing humans.

10/10 experience. Would absolutely do it again.

❤️
