Are you in love with someone’s potential or the reality of your relationship?

Because sometimes we are not in a relationship at all.
We are in an imaginationship.

Most people do not realize they are trying to connect with a memory, a fantasy, or a future version of someone who has never actually shown up consistently.

But the only relationship you can truly be in
is the one you are in right now.

Not how it used to feel.
Not who they promised they would become.
Not the version of the relationship you are holding onto in your head.
Just the truth of what is.

When you can finally do that, the relationship becomes real.
Real connection, real clarity, real grief, real growth.

And from that grounded place, secure relationships become possible.

You matter.
You are worth choosing.
You are capable of the kind of connection your nervous system has been craving.

What helped you finally see a relationship for what it truly was?

Healing starts in the little moments. Slowing down, breathing, and being fully present with yourself is how we begin to show up differently in love and life.

Is healing even possible?

Healing from trauma while being in a relationship can feel impossible at times. Overwhelming, exhausting, confusing.

But what if you were never broken? What if you’re not too much, not unlovable? What if you’re capable of letting someone in and being truly seen?

Imagine it being safe. Hard, yes, but safe. Your thoughts finally slowing down, your heart softening, and honesty feeling natural again.

It’s not your fault. Healing is possible. Love is possible. You can take steps toward both.

You matter. Always.

Mental Health Matters.

This week, I’m returning to some familiar ground, presenting at the .valley.university Conference on Mental Health with

It’s a meaningful moment of reflection for me. Healthy connections matter more than ever, and collaborating to strengthen the field of mental health and supporting our community continues to be one of my deepest passions.

This work isn’t just professional, it’s personal.

If you’ll be at the conference, I’d love to connect. Send me a DM or say hello at the conference.

And as always, remember YOU MATTER!

Forget love languages. The real key to a healthy relationship?

Dual. Climate. Control.

Because sometimes “being seen” means 70° on your side and 88° on theirs.

John Gottman was right 69% of conflict is unresolvable and how you navigate it makes all the difference.

Teardrops

I’m a Taylor Swift fan.
But I’ll be honest I get about half of her lyrics wrong.

Let me rewind.

High school? Oh yeah, I know who she is.
College and early adulthood? Here is another Swift album. She’s good, but I’m no Swiftie.

Then came a season of my life that felt like utter hell.

Suddenly…
“I’m going to the Eras Tour in two days. I got tickets and figured it out.”

We get to the airport… and the flights are cancelled.
No flights. Only one of the two concert tickets in hand.

We are meant to feel… deeply.

Yet so many people I work with avoid their emotions:
“What’s the point?”
“It doesn’t change anything.”

It’s like we’re conditioned to believe we have to do more, be more, achieve more… instead of learning to simply sit with the reality of what is.

The emotions are buried deep inside.
The parts of ourselves we’d rather not face.

Instead of running from them.
Instead of trying to prove we’re enough.
Instead of living in denial.

There is a path forward—a way of living, feeling deeply, and loving life (and yourself) more than you ever thought possible.

Here’s the thing: trauma work isn’t about re-living the worst moments of your life or suffering endlessly just to “earn” healing.

The facts don’t change. P**p is still p**p, it smells, it stinks, and it won’t magically disappear.

But it doesn’t have to control your life.
The hypervigilance.
The walking on eggshells.
The people-pleasing.
The fear of deep connection.

It’s possible to love yourself without justifying the hell you’ve been through.
You don’t have to turn p**p into a rose and pretend it smells sweet.

Maybe it’s time to stop holding that beach ball of emotions under the water, letting it finally surface, and learning how to handle it with compassion.

Hope is real. Healing is possible. Confidence can last.

If this resonates, I’m here. I see you. Let’s talk...you don’t have to do this alone.

And as always, remember: YOU MATTER.
