Today doesn’t need to feel good to still be meaningful.
Showing up — even imperfectly — counts.

You are allowed to take breaks from worry.
Even a few minutes of relief matters.

✨ Professional Update ✨

I’m excited to share that I am now licensed in Connecticut.

I’m currently in the process of becoming credentialed with insurance panels in CT. In the meantime, I am accepting self-pay (cash) clients in Connecticut while credentialing is underway.

This is an important step as I continue expanding access to trauma-informed, relational care across state lines. I’ll be sure to share updates as credentialing moves forward.

If you’re in Connecticut and interested in future availability, feel free to follow along or reach out for more information. 🤍

Sometimes the bravest thing we do is stay with discomfort without rushing to escape it. Presence can be an act of courage.

A helpful reframe:
Instead of asking, “What if something goes wrong?”

Try, “What’s supporting me right now?”

This shift can gently bring attention back to the present.

Living with uncertainty can activate old survival responses, even when current danger isn’t present.

This isn’t weakness — it’s history showing up in the body.

Anxiety often speaks in urgency.
Presence responds with steadiness.
If today feels heavy, slowing down is still a meaningful choice.

There can be quiet freedom in letting today be incomplete.
Not everything needs to be figured out before you rest.

I currently have limited openings for new therapy clients in Maine and Florida.

My work is trauma-informed and regulation-focused, supporting adults who struggle with anxiety, trauma patterns, and feeling stuck, particularly those who tend to stay in their heads as a way of coping.

Sessions are offered via secure telehealth. If you’re curious about fit, you’re welcome to reach out for a brief consultation to explore next steps.

I often remind clients — and myself — that clarity isn’t a prerequisite for care. You’re allowed to tend to yourself even when you don’t yet know what comes next.

A trauma-informed mix of reflection and practical daily supports including planners, meal ideas, music, and routines that feel regulating rather than overwhelming. Worth a follow for anyone focused on mental health and gentle structure.

A new month may be on the horizon, but January still has lots of opportunities for memories, beautiful moments, and progress on your goals.

Tomorrow’s January 23rd planner has a little something for all times of the day to plan a practical Friday. Start your morning with feel-good ideas, clean your entryway, make some great food for the family, and get ideas for a fun evening.

No matter how your workweek has been so far, the planner can keep you motivated, inspired, and help you make some key decisions for the day.
