For some, it’s about romance. For others, it’s about independence. For many, it’s a mix of both. There is no “right” way to want love, connection, or space for yourself. What matters most is honoring what feels true for you, without judgment, comparison, or pressure. Whether you’re partnered, single, healing, hopeful, or somewhere in between… you deserve compassion and understanding, first and foremost.

Come with me to the FMHCA Annual Conference. Three days filled with workshops, learning, and meaningful conversations, including sessions on sexuality, forgiveness, and how to offer virtual therapy with intention and care.

I’m so grateful for spaces like this that support continued growth and reflection, and help me show up more fully for the people I work with. Everything I learn here comes back with me into the therapy room.

A few moments from the conference 💛 Watch the reel to come along.

Family changes can feel confusing for children, even when parents try to shield them from the details. Kids often process transitions emotionally before they can explain them verbally. That’s why changes in behavior are common, and why reassurance may need to be repeated more than once. Structure, predictability, and open communication help children regain a sense of safety during uncertain times.

Family counseling creates space for everyone’s experience, helping families navigate change with clarity, support, and connection 🤍

We often think attachment shows up only in big relationships or major life moments. But more often, it lives in the small, quiet parts of our day: in how we think, react, and connect with others. These patterns usually form long before we’re aware of them, and they can quietly shape how safe, seen, or settled we feel in everyday interactions.

The good news? Awareness changes everything. When we begin to notice our patterns with curiosity instead of judgment, we open the door to healthier connections, with others and with ourselves.

Teenagers are in a season of figuring out who they are, and that often includes needing space from parents, even while still needing support. Connection during this stage doesn’t usually come from big talks or pushing conversations. It grows through respect, emotional safety, and small moments of presence.

When teens feel listened to instead of questioned, they’re more likely to open up in their own time. Staying available without pressure helps keep the relationship strong, even when communication feels limited 🤍

Anxiety doesn’t always look the way we expect. Sometimes it shows up in the body, in tension, or in the need to stay in control. Many people live this way without realizing how much it’s affecting them. Becoming aware of it is the first step toward feeling better.

After stress or a trigger, the nervous system stays on high alert. That’s why reactions can feel bigger than the situation, for both kids and adults. These responses aren’t overreactions; they’re protective.

Trigger-informed therapy helps families understand these patterns, reduce shame, and create a sense of safety again. Healing begins when the body learns it’s safe to settle 💛

The start of a new year can feel loud. So many messages telling you who to become, what to fix, what to add. But growth doesn’t always mean changing who you are. Sometimes it’s about softening into yourself, trusting what’s already there and letting it take up a little more space.

There’s nothing wrong with choosing steadiness over reinvention. Nothing wrong with honoring the parts of you that have carried you this far. If this feels grounding, take a moment with it.

Kids don’t always know how to say “I’m overwhelmed”, especially when stress feels confusing or big. Instead, their bodies and behaviors do the talking. Meltdowns, clinginess, or regressions are often signs that something feels unsettled, not that your child is being difficult. When parents respond with consistency, reassurance, and connection, kids begin to feel safer. And when kids feel safe, regulation becomes possible.

You don’t have to fix everything, being present and steady already makes a difference

Many teens are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, social pressures, and shifting identities.
Therapy can offer a calm space to build confidence, emotional regulation, and healthy peer relationships.

I work with teens ages 12-18 and collaborate with parents in a way that supports autonomy and growth.

✨What I help with:
• Anxiety and stress
• Self-esteem
• Friendship concerns
• Perfectionism and big expectations
• Identity exploration

💻 Virtual sessions • Morning & Afternoon availability

Many parents believe therapy is only for moments of crisis, when everything feels unbearable. In reality, therapy can be a space to pause before things reach that point. To understand patterns, get support, and navigate a challenging season with more clarity.

You don’t have to wait until things feel heavy. Reaching out early can make room to breathe, reflect, and feel supported — without judgment

Getting back into routine can feel like a big shift after time off. For many kids, this transition brings mixed emotions: excitement, resistance, tiredness, or overwhelm, and all of that is part of adjusting.

Helping them ease back in doesn’t mean getting everything right. Anticipating the change, preparing together, and staying emotionally present can make routines feel safer and more manageable. Gentle support and consistency go a long way as everyone finds their rhythm again. 💛
