Cats out of the bag!!

After 6.5 years of solo practice, Embodied Healing Counseling and Yoga is now a group practice!!!

This was a very unexpected expansion for me. I truly believe things come to you at the right time and after meeting Arielle, I knew this was the time. I never thought I’d be a group practice owner but…when ya know, ya know! ✨

Arielle is not only a gem of a human being, she has several years experience working in higher levels of care with eating disorder treatment and a passion for working with women and perinatal folks experiencing anxiety and transitional challenges.

🗓️ She is accepting clients for January 2026 and is paneled with BCBS PPO and United Healthcare.

📍 Virtual and in-person options available.

It looks like you’ve got it all together, but on the inside it feels like you’re just treading water.

For moms, this often shows up as guilt, comparison, and pressure to hold everything together. And even though you’re “managing,” it can feel exhausting and lonely.

✨ The good news is, you don’t have to carry it all alone. Therapy can help you to recognize what you can set down, what you *want* to hold onto, and who you can ask for support.

👉🏼Swipe through to see if any of this sounds familiar. If it does, know that support is out there.

September is Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month AND Maternal Su***de Awareness Month.

I am often asked how to support a loved one who is facing mental health challenges. Sharing and saving these numbers is a great place to start. We all know someone who has struggled or you may have faced your own challenges. It is vital to remember that support is available.

You and those you love do not need to walk this path alone. 💜

A special thanks to for compiling this valuable info in your newsletter this weekend. 🙏🏼

For those “never good enough” girlies out there, I got you! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Donald Winnicott, a pediatrician and psychoanalyst, coined this phrase in the 50’s to remind us: kids don’t need perfect parents. They need good enough ones. 🤯

Read that again…kids need good enough parents, not perfect ones!

What does this mean?
It means you’ll get it wrong sometimes. You’ll snap when you wish you hadn’t, forget the diaper bag, miss a cue. And that’s okay!!

In fact, Winnicott’s generous research shows that our “failures” can actually help our kids. When parents repair and reconnect after the inevitable mistakes, kids learn flexibility, resilience, and trust that relationships can withstand ruptures and imperfection.

😮‍💨 Phew that’s a huge relief!!

For us millennial parents who are juggling work, parenting, constant notifications, and the pressure of curated lives on social media, this is an important reminder:

📣Your child doesn’t need a highlight-reel version of you.
📣They need the real, “good enough” you. The you who shows up, tries, apologizes when needed, and keeps loving anyway.
📣Messy moments + repair = healthy attachment

So if you screwed up today, give yourself some grace. Being a “good enough” parent is more than enough. 👏🩷

✨ Guess who’s back? ✨

The moms have spoken and we are going to push the start date for this group to October 12.

This gives everyone more time to settle into the Fall season and fully invest in themselves. I’m here for it!

In my newsletter this month, I shared about some common themes coming up in therapy sessions as of late.

Many of us are feeling the weight of the world right now and don’t quite know what to do or how to help.

These practices don’t erase what’s happening in the world, but they do ground us, resource us, and help us feel even a little more connected.

Try them out and let me know which ones most resonate with you in the comments.

And if you’d like to be added to my email list and receive helpful reminders such as this, head to the link in my bio to sign up. 🙏🏼🤍
