Lately, I’ve been hearing from more and more people (clients, colleagues, & friends) who are facing incredible uncertainty. They are professionals who’ve suddenly lost their jobs, or federal employees and contractors (including military families) who haven’t received a paycheck due to the government shutdown... it is impacting a lot of people in our orbit whom we care about.

These moments aren’t just “financial stress.” They’re emotional earthquakes.

When your sense of stability like your income, your career, your purpose, etc. is shaken, your nervous system responds as if you’re in danger. Our brain / body doesn't distinguish between a bear chasing you vs. a change in your financial/employment status... it reacts the same. Fight/Flight.

Many may have/feel:
*Difficulty sleeping or focusing
*Irritability or hopelessness
*Shame for “not being productive enough”
*Disconnection from family and friends
*And so many other mind/body reactions to such stressors.

As a licensed psychologist, I want to emphasize this: your reactions are valid; they’re human responses to a loss of control and safety.

A few gentle reminders for anyone reading this...for yourself or someone you love:

*It’s okay to ask for help: professionally or personally.
*Structure your days where you can, as routines anchor the mind.
*Connect with others who understand; isolation deepens distress.
*Don’t measure your worth by your paycheck.

If you’re struggling, please reach out for support (lots of low cost or free options as well - just ask me and I'll give you some to look into.) There's so many ways to find support that works best for you at this time. Talk to a trusted friend, colleague, or mental health professional. You don’t have to navigate this uncertainty alone.

We can’t control the timing of paychecks or policies, but we can choose compassion for ourselves and others.

This is a time to remember those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and remind one another that healing is possible.

👉 If you or someone you love is struggling, you can dial or text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline) for immediate support.

Let’s break the silence, reduce stigma, and remind each other that reaching out is a brave and powerful step. 💙

Join us on Saturday, Sept 27th from 11-3 at the ROC in St. Louis Park, MN for our annual FREE wellness carnival for kids/families and everyone in our community! www.shoutoutloudmn.com

Since 2023, I've been holding in person summits for the therapists in my collective. 💡 As virtual therapists, so much of our work is done behind a screen. While it’s powerful to reach clients wherever they are, it can also feel isolating at times.

That’s why the Synergy eTherapy Summit means so much. Our first year was in Mpls, second year in Chicago and this year in sunny Florida! 🌴

This isn’t just a conference with CE's, it’s also about coming together face-to-face, sharing energy, stories, and encouragement that you just can’t replicate through a we**am. There’s something special about sitting in a room with colleagues who “get it” and remembering we’re not alone in this work.

In-person connection fuels us. It strengthens our community. And it makes the virtual work we return to even more impactful.

I can’t wait to laugh, learn, and grow alongside so many of my incredible peers.

❓How do you stay connected to your colleagues if you spend most of your day isolated and online?

✨🦌 Last week, I looked out the window of our cabin when we took a mini vacation up north with family and saw a deer quietly moving through the trees. There was something so calm yet powerful about its presence—alert, graceful, and unafraid to step into the open.

It reminded me of what it feels like to start or expand a business. Whether launching your own practice or growing into a group practice, there’s that same mix of vulnerability and strength. Like the deer, we sometimes hesitate before stepping into new territory, but when we trust ourselves and move forward, we find opportunities we might have missed had we stayed hidden in the woods.

Starting something new takes courage. Expanding takes vision. Both require us to be present, patient, and willing to step into the unknown.

Here’s to embracing our inner deer—steady, resilient, and open to possibility. 🌲💫

What “deer moments” have you had lately that reminded you to keep moving forward?

Super curious, how did you choose your profession/career? How did you know it was the path for you?

I always find it fascinating to learn about the road others take to get from high school graduation to what they are doing in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. So many people start and stop. Change careers along the way.

I never in a million years thought I would open an online therapy collective. Especially way back in 2016, it was before Covid and the rise of telehealth which made it commonplace. And, yet, here we are - online counseling is normalized.

I do believe that all the work I did up until this point allowed me to open up my own gig with eTherapy. I worked in hospitals, clinics, taught psychology/psychiatry trainees, provided supervision (taught supervision courses), and learned from so many great mentors along the way. All of the "in the trenches" work allowed me to see the healthcare system in it's continuum - from outpatient to inpatient levels of care.

Learning doesn't stop, it just seems to shift and change as we do and as our world does.

Excited to hear more about your journey! Post below and tell me about you!

Lately, I’ve been hearing from many of you that you are interested to hear more from me professionally — things like how I got started, why I do what I do, and the journey that’s brought me to where I am today ... and just more of the true balance (or lack thereof) juggling of managing a larger multi-state practice with life/family!

I haven't really been using this professional FB page too much over the years (ya know, had kids, messy house, gotta choose how waking hours are spent...) - but I have felt more of a pull to get back on here consistently - it's time for me to re-connect with YOU - my amazing friends, colleagues, peers and followers.

So, here goes part uno.

When I started Synergy eTherapy years ago (back in 2016), online therapy wasn’t really a “thing” yet. Most people didn’t understand it, and many were hesitant to try. But I believed deeply that mental health care should be accessible, flexible, and stigma-free—no matter where you live. I started with a small vision, and step by step (and plenty of trials and failures later!), we’ve grown into a thriving multi-state online group practice collective hat helps people across multiple states.

Along the way, I’ve also created and run 3 large Facebook communities for therapists. These groups are my way of giving back, creating spaces where we can share, learn, and support each other. But I realized something recently… while I’ve been busy supporting those communities, I haven’t been as present right here on my professional page.

So, that’s going to change. I want this page to be a space where we can connect—where I can share thoughts, resources, and maybe even a few behind-the-scenes stories from life and business.

Thanks for being here. I’m excited to open up a bit more and get to know you better, too. 💙
