🫶 We’re launching a Food Drive! 🥫✨

As SNAP benefits continue to decrease, more families are struggling to put food on the table. Our mental health community has always shown up with empathy, and now we’re asking you to join us in a different kind of support — collecting non-perishable food items for those who need it most.

Bring your donation to your next appointment — a drop-off bin will be available in our waiting area.
All items will go directly to Nourishing Hope Chicago, serving families in our local community.

Because healing isn’t just about the mind — it’s about helping each other survive and thrive. 🥹💛

➡️ Swipe for accepted items!

Grateful for the honor of being a keynote speaker at the Stress & Cancer Prevention Conference.

Stepping onto that stage was more than a moment—it was a reminder of why this work matters.

I hope my words reached those who needed them most, offering knowledge, comfort, and a little more hope.
Here’s to continued conversations that heal, educate, and empower. 🤍

I used to sit in my tiny office, recording videos on stress, healing, and community support — no script, no fancy gear… just a heart full of purpose. I didn’t know who would listen, I just knew I wanted to give back.

Today… that same mission has taken me to CBS, Albanian newscasts, universities, and stages I once only dreamed of. I’m now honored to be considered a professional speaker on stress + cancer prevention.

From pouring into my community on my phone…
to standing in rooms reminding people their health, peace, and story matter.

The dream was never too big — I just had to keep showing up. 🤍

🧠 New on the blog: We’re diving deep into how anxiety therapy often uncovers old wounds — the ones we didn’t even realize still hurt.

Anxiety isn’t just about the present moment. It’s often the echo of past pain — experiences that taught your mind to stay on alert. Understanding the connection between anxiety and trauma can help you begin to heal at the root, not just manage the symptoms. 💛

Read the full post to learn how therapy helps you unpack the past, release what no longer serves you, and create space for calm, safety, and self-trust again.

On the outside, you have it all together—career milestones, achievements, success. But on the inside? The pressure, perfectionism, and endless demands can quietly take a toll on your mental health.

Being “high-functioning” doesn’t mean you’re immune to burnout, anxiety, or depression. In fact, it often means you’re carrying more than anyone realizes.

Seeking therapy isn’t weakness—it’s the exact opposite. It’s choosing to protect your health, your relationships, and your longevity in the career you’ve worked so hard for.

If you’re a lawyer, doctor, engineer, or professional who feels the weight of constant achievement, know this: you don’t have to do it alone.

✨ Your success shouldn’t come at the cost of your peace. ✨
