We all say we want change, but most of us are still eatin’ soup with chopsticks. Clients cling to the comfort of old thought patterns; clinicians cling to outdated methods and call it compassion. Both are resistance disguised as effort.

In my latest podcast, I talk about why awareness, not endurance, is the real catalyst for change, and why our field keeps using the wrong tools while wondering why no one’s getting fed.

My latest blog, explains to you, why you’re failing and it’s because you insist on eating soup with chopsticks.

Graduating from trauma therapy is no small feat—it’s proof of courage, commitment, and the power of doing the work.

I’m so honored to walk alongside clients who are willing to face discomfort and rebuild their lives.

I take a whole-person approach to therapy.
Because mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it’s connected to every part of your life.

That’s why I’ve built a network of trusted professionals I refer clients to regularly. From PCPs and hormone specialists to accountants, attorneys, home organizers, and yes—even a tree guy.

When you’re working to untangle your mind, the rest of your life matters too.

My role is to help you see the full picture and connect you with the right people who can help you thrive in it.

But, I am going to stick to just typing out responses from here on out🫢

That’s what my next client said today as he walked in, boxing glove and mouth guard in hand.

And he’s right.

Today, I was the Cognitive Coach.

My costume read “Feelings Not Facts,” a playful nod to the work I do every day. But truthfully, I felt vulnerable showing up that way. I didn’t even wear the full costume —the wig and mustache stayed behind.

It’s funny how that mirrors therapy itself.

Even when we teach courage, honesty, and growth, we’re not immune to the discomfort of being seen.

Vulnerability doesn’t skip the therapist, it just meets us in different ways.

My client reminded me of that today. He came ready to fight, not out of anger, but out of commitment. To his healing. To his truth. To his future self.

And I stood there, half in costume, reminded that therapy isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up: messy, uncertain, but willing.

Because therapy is fighting.
For understanding over reaction.
For truth over comfort.
For integration over avoidance.
Today, I was the Cognitive Coach.
But really, I was just another human in the ring with another human.

A little brain-themed fun for Halloween 🎃

I went as Right Brain vs. Left Brain today, though my shirt actually says “Master” and “Emissary,” a nod to Iain McGilchrist’s work on hemispheric integration.

While pop psychology tends to oversimplify this idea, I love using it as a playful visual: one side represents creativity and intuition, the other logic and precision.
In therapy, we need both.

Integration, not dominance, is where growth happens.

Sometimes healing starts there, in the small, unexpected moment of laughter that reminds you you’re still alive, still human, still capable of joy.

This week’s newsletter dives into the research behind humor in therapy, and yes, a few of my Halloween favorites-plus my newest podcast episode:

20+ Things You Should Never Say to Your Therapist.

If you need permission to laugh, this is it. Because even in the work of healing, there’s room for levity.

Every quarter, I ask clients to tell the truth about their experience; what’s working, what isn’t, and where I can do better.

The survey digs deep: my approach, clarity of the treatment plan, the use of data and assessments, even the cleanliness and calm of the office. It asks the hard questions; Have you ever felt misunderstood or disrespected-because accountability matters.

This isn’t a checkbox exercise; it’s how I stay sharp. Data keeps therapy honest, and honest feedback keeps it human.

Because watching the world confuse rudeness with authenticity will do that to you.

Most mornings begin just like this.

An hour of quiet: Scripture, prayer, and journaling.

It’s a rhythm I’ve held for as long as I can remember, not out of habit but necessity. Over the years, life has carried both beauty and deep difficulty, and I often wonder who I would be without this time, without this relationship that steadies and reshapes me daily.

I don’t think I would have made it through the same way.

For those who sit across from me in counseling, I often encourage building this kind of practice, this is relationship, not because it fixes everything, but because it anchors us in the truth of something greater than ourselves.

Sometimes, the soul doesn’t whisper, it breaks.

And in that breaking, what’s revealed isn’t weakness, but an opportunity for honest rebuilding.

This week, I’m exploring what happens when the soul breaks and moral injury and how to meet that moment not with pity or platitude, but with ethical empathy.

Empathy that listens without absorbing.
Empathy that holds space without losing itself.
Empathy that seeks truth, not rescue.
