Growth and change can be difficult, but you've already taken the first step. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to explore your emotions, experiences, and challenges and help you on your journey toward finding personal fulfillment.

I specialize in maternal mental health, treating trauma, anxiety, and self esteem issues in children and teens as well as individual challenges related to anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, college student/young professional challenges. Additionally I provide coaching to parents on how to manage behavioral difficulties in young children. I also offer pre-marital counseling.

The holidays often come with extra expectations, packed schedules, and pressure to make everyone else comfortable. Setting boundaries can feel hard—especially if you’re used to saying yes or keeping the peace.

Gentle reminder: boundaries don’t have to be dramatic or lengthy to be effective.
Simple, clear statements are often the most respectful—for you and for others.

You don’t owe explanations.
You don’t have to attend everything.
You’re allowed to protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being.

If the holidays bring up guilt, anxiety, or people-pleasing patterns, you’re not alone. Practicing small boundaries now can make a big difference—not just this season, but beyond it.

Save this post, come back to it when you need the words, and know that choosing yourself is not selfish. 🤍

Thanksgiving can be meaningful, cozy, complicated — or a mix of all three. 💛
As you move through the holiday, remember that gratitude and boundaries can coexist. It’s okay if the day doesn’t feel entirely joyful or peaceful.

“Loved ones” doesn’t have to mean relatives — it can be friends, chosen family, pets, or the people who simply make you feel safe and seen. 🤍

And if this season brings up grief, stress, loneliness, or mixed emotions, you’re not alone. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve gentleness today.

Take a breath. Take breaks. Take care of you. 🍂

be who we think we should be — the perfect partner, parent, or professional — that we forget to honor who we already are. 💫
Letting go of “should” creates space for peace, authenticity, and growth.
You don’t have to become someone new — you just have to come home to yourself. 🌿

Navigating the holidays while carrying grief or loss can feel overwhelmingly heavy. ❤️‍🩹

This season often brings expectations of joy, connection, and celebration — which can make your pain feel even louder. If this is your experience, please know: you are not doing anything wrong, and you don’t have to push yourself to “feel festive.”

Grief is love with nowhere to go.
And you deserve gentleness, compassion, and care as you move through it.

These small practices can help you stay grounded through a difficult season — not to “fix” the grief, but to support you as you carry it.

If this resonates, you are absolutely not alone. 🤍
Take what you need. Leave what you don’t. Give yourself permission to show up exactly as you are.

The holidays can be busy, emotional, and overwhelming — but meaningful connection doesn’t always come from big gestures.
Sometimes it’s the small, intentional moments that remind us we’re cared for and not alone. 🤍✨

A short note.
A quick phone call.
A small surprise.
A few minutes face-to-face, even through a screen.

These simple acts can soften stress, strengthen relationships, and bring warmth to a season that can feel heavy for many.
You never know how much a tiny moment of connection can mean to someone who’s struggling.

What’s one small way you plan to connect with someone you love this holiday season? 💛fagan.therapy

As the seasons shift and the world slows down, fall reminds us to pause, breathe, and notice the goodness already around us. 🍂

Practicing gratitude doesn’t mean everything is perfect—it means choosing to recognize the small moments that bring comfort, connection, and meaning.

Whether it’s a warm drink, a quiet moment, your child’s laugh, or simply making it through a tough day… gratitude helps turn “enough” into more than enough. 🤎

Take a moment today to recognize what’s here, what’s steady, and what’s supporting you.

What are you grateful for today? Share in the comments 👇🏻
