What’s one time you got offended by feedback or criticism… and looking back, it actually taught you something valuable?

03/30/2026

It’s easy to get offended these days, especially on social media. One comment can set off that defensive spiral instantly.

But what if offense could actually become your secret superpower for growth?

In my new podcast episode “Offended: Your Secret Superpower for Real Growth,” I break down how I stopped letting feedback derail me and started using it as fuel, including the psychology of the cognitive biases that keep us stuck and how a growth mindset changes everything.

Are you stuck in bad therapy?
You like your therapist.

The sessions feel safe and supportive.

But deep down, you know nothing is really changing.

If you’ve ever left therapy thinking “I feel heard… but why am I still stuck?” this next episode is for you.

This Friday, Emily Ferrara and I sit down to talk about what happens when therapy becomes comfortable… but not effective.

We pull from Abigail Shrier’s Bad Therapy and get honest about the quiet ways people stay stalled for months or years.

No fluff. Just practical truths about when it’s time to reassess.

The episode drops early next week.

Have you ever felt stuck in “good enough” therapy? Drop a comment or 🔥 below, you’re not alone.

Happy Birthday to Zebedee the therapy pup!

Although I lost him much too quickly and he wasn’t able to love on clients. I know he is caring for everyone in Heaven.

It’s hard to celebrate his birthday and know we all missed out on his therapeutic kisses and belly rubs-nonetheless, it’s always good to celebrate the good.

Each week I send out a free newsletter with practical insights, whether a short podcast episode, blog reflection, or simple daily reset, to support your path of personal growth. Counseling can feel inaccessible due to cost, time, or other barriers, so this is one way I work to meet people where they are.

This week's edition: Table & Filter Notes

You've put in the real therapeutic work, yet those longstanding stories about yourself ("I'm not enough," "I don't belong") can still shape how you perceive everyday moments.

Inside are four gentle, low-effort hints to help notice and ease that persistent filter: like pausing to consider whether a situation is about your place at the table or simply someone else's manners in the moment. It's a reminder of validation and small shifts to let the old narratives quiet down.

If any of it connects with you, feel free to comment below. What's one old pattern you're noticing these days? I read every response and truly appreciate hearing what resonates.

Grateful to share this space with you.

Thrilled to have presented today’s training at Simplify Life Counseling & Coaching in Atlanta! A huge thank you to Emily Ferrara and Hannah Rinehart and the entire team for the warm welcome and engaging discussions, it was an absolute pleasure sharing insights with such a dedicated group of professionals!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with ground floor proven experience in evidence-based trauma and anxiety therapy, I’m passionate about driving real change in the mental health field. Too often, therapy feels passive or endless, but through structured, intentional approaches like integrative CBT, EMDR, and nervous system regulation, we can deliver clarity, skill-building, and lasting transformation.

Today, I showed the clinicians how implementing Measurement-Based Care (MBC) creates a genuine opportunity to stand out, by using data-driven assessments from Day 1, monthly progress tracking, and customized treatment plans that lead to measurable outcomes, like the 92% of clients who report symptom reduction within three months in my practice.

Drawing from my Untangled Mind Pathway™, we explored how over 15 clinical assessments, secure messaging for accountability, and tools like custom workbooks can rewire survival responses without rehashing the past, empowering clients to break free from anxiety cycles, chronic stress, and complex trauma.

And today Simplify saw the launch!

The beta version of the Untangled Mind Assessment Engine, a cutting-edge tool designed to streamline data-driven therapy and make MBC even more accessible for practices.

Practice owners and clinicians: if you’re ready to elevate your approach with structured, outcomes-focused care, DM me to chat about the training, MBC implementation, or getting early access to the Assessment Engine.

What is good therapy?

It’s not just talking about your week.
It’s not endless validation.
And it’s not meant to last forever.

Good therapy is structured.
It has clear goals.
It uses defined methods.
It measures progress.
And it works toward completion.

You should know what you’re working on and why. You should understand how improvement will be tracked. You should feel movement, not just emotional release.

If you’ve ever left therapy wondering, “Is this actually helping?” that question matters.

Therapy should build strength, skill, and independence, not dependency.

Watch the newest podcast series on What is Good Therapy, and
if you’re ready for therapy that is intentional and outcome-focused, schedule a consultation. Let’s talk about what effective treatment should look like for you.

I’m releasing a new podcast series with colleague and special guest Emily Ferrara, founder of Life Counseling + Coaching

Our friendship didn’t form through networking or branding. It formed through professional dialogue; real conversations about what’s missing in the field and what too often goes unquestioned.

This series is called What’s Good Therapy?

We talk about:
• How to find a competent therapist
• What to do when therapy isn’t helping
• Why some people feel therapy has become vague, indulgent, or ineffective
• And yes, why some believe therapy is BS

This isn’t a therapy-bashing series.
It’s a standards-based conversation.

Good therapy is not about endless validation or indefinite treatment.
It’s about clarity, skill, progress, and knowing when the work is done.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Is this actually helping?”
“Am I doing therapy right?”
“Why does this feel like it’s going nowhere?”

This series is for you.

Courage is not a feeling. It’s a skill.

In therapy, courage is often replaced with comfort, validation, or endless insight. But anxiety and trauma don’t loosen their grip because we understand them better: they change when action interrupts avoidance.

Courage is acting before confidence arrives. It’s choosing movement over relief. It’s reclaiming agency when the nervous system insists on retreat.

I wrote this week’s blog because courage has been culturally softened, and therapy has paid the price.
