I keep catching myself.

Saving things to tell you like you're late, not gone. Like you’re just busy, like you’ll get back to me, like this space is temporary. There's so much I wanna tell you. So many stories. So many "you won't believe this" moments that have nowhere to land.

It’s in the random Tuesday mornings. The moments that don’t matter to anyone else. The times when nothing is happening, and somehow that’s when I feel it the most.

Now these moments just live inside me with nowhere to land.

Grief is realizing that the conversations will never end... They just live inside me now. Miss you sm Audrie-pette

The ways we avoid don’t always look obvious. It can look like overworking, staying constantly busy, scrolling for hours, over exercising, pouring another drink, shutting down, or picking fights just to discharge something we don’t want to sit with.

Unhealthy coping is about survival. It’s what we learn to do when sitting with and feeling is too overwhelming, too unsafe, or just too much to carry on our own.

So we adapt. We numb. We avoid. We tell ourselves it doesn't matter. And for a while, it probably works. But long term, these ways of coping don’t just block pain, they block the good stuff too. Joy, connection, clarity, even our sense of self. We don’t get to selectively numb feelings.

So what starts as protection slowly turns into disconnection. From our emotions, our relationships, and our lives. And underneath it all, the feelings we've been trying to outrun are still there. Waiting. Getting louder in other ways. Showing up as anxiety, irritability, burnout, chronic pain, that constant sense that something just feels off.

Therapy with me isn’t about taking away your coping and leaving you exposed. It’s about understanding what role your coping skills play and helping you build something that actually supports you instead of shutting you down. It's helping you reconnect with yourself.

Once we stop running, everything shifts. ❤️‍🩹

Just finished my first in home spin class and.. wtf!? 😅

Why did nobody tell me THIS is the workout? 20 minutes of questioning my life choices, aggressive sweating, and a full emotional journey somewhere between “I can’t do this” and “wait.. am I becoming a full on cyclist guru?”

Yep, the same person who talks to people all day about the importance of self-care, boundaries and actually feeling your feelings.. and here I am, shocked that moving my body in a very hardcore manner for 20 mins just shifted my entire mood.

Turns out self-care isn’t always bubble baths and saying No. Sometimes it’s sitting on a tiny seat, sweating out your stress and getting out of your own head for a minute. Sometimes the best therapy isn’t talking.. it’s pedaling like your sanity depends on it.

10/10 will suffer again ❤️‍🩹

You don’t need motivation, you need discipline.

I say this all the time in therapy when my people come in and talk about wanting change but feeling unmotivated. Motivation is unreliable. It comes and goes, and it usually disappears the second things feel uncomfortable, inconvenient, or hard. If you’re waiting to feel like doing something before you do it, you might be waiting forever.

Discipline isn't loud or inspiring. It’s the part of you that says, “I don’t feel like it, but I’ll do a little bit anyway.” It’s brushing your teeth when you’re exhausted. It’s showing up imperfectly. It’s doing the 20 minutes instead of the hour. It's taking your meds. It's getting dressed in the AM. It’s consistency. It's showing up every day and doing your best.

For people who feel unmotivated, that's where I tell them to start. Not with a full life overhaul. Not with “fix your whole life by Monday.” Start small. Annoyingly small. Five minutes. One task. One step. Something you can do even on your worst day. And do the damn thing.

Because you don’t build motivation first. You build discipline. You show yourself, over and over again that you can start, you can follow through, you can keep going, even when you don't feel like it, even at your worst.

My advice: stop waiting for motivation to show up and remember that your best will look different every day and that's okay. All you have to do is show up. ❤️‍🩹

Confession: I think being the sandwich kid is exactly what prepared me to become a couples therapist.

I’m seeing more and more couples in my practice lately and I think it might be turning into a bit of a niche for me. What’s interesting is that I didn’t plan for it. But after my couples sessions, I often leave feeling hopeful. Rejuvenated, even. Which might sound surprising because couples therapy can be messy. There are big feelings, old wounds, misunderstandings, defensiveness, hurt. It’s not always tidy work.

But sitting here today, I realized something about why this work feels so natural to me. I’m a middle child. Growing up, I always felt like I lived in that awkward middle space. Not quite here, not quite there. Just… in between. That role followed me right into grade school. When my friends would fight, they’d come to me. And inevitably someone would get frustrated and ask, “Whose side are you on?” And every single time my answer was the same. “I’m not on anybody’s side.” I could see their perspective. And I could see the other person’s too. Which, as you can imagine, wasn’t always the answer people wanted to hear. But it’s the truth.

I think that’s what makes me really good at couples therapy. My job isn’t to pick a side. My job is to sit right there in the messy, uncomfortable middle. To slow things down. To help each person feel heard. And to gently encourage couples to consider each other’s perspective. Because most of the time couples aren’t fighting because one person is right and the other is wrong. They’re fighting because two people are hurting and neither of them feels understood or seen.

When that understanding finally starts to happen, something shifts. And that’s the part of this work I really love. So if you’re a couple who feels stuck in the same arguments, the same misunderstandings, the same painful cycles, know that this is work I care deeply about.

Turns out being the sandwich kid does have perks after all! 🥪❤️‍🩹

Heading home today after five days with family and I need a nap. It was hectic, loud, slightly unhinged.. and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Core memories were made: Driving in complete fog like we were in a low budget horror movie. Watching a movie in a recliner seat that ruined every other theatre forever. Sitting so high up at the Sens game I’m pretty sure I saw the curvature of the earth. Casually witnessing a kid throw up in the middle of a restaurant (my kids won't ever recover from that one).

And this fortune cookie moment which is very fitting. I'm heading home tired, slightly overstimulated, but full of the good stuff and will try to take this quote into the rest of 2026.
