For many, the focus of Thanksgiving is gratitude and being appreciative of everything positive in their lives. For others, Thanksgiving stirs up mixed emotions, memories, and feelings of grief, loss, loneliness, and all that is missing in their lives. 🍂

Make an effort today to look around you and be inclusive of those in need of companionship. Offer support and kindness to those who are isolated and lonely. If this is you, I hope you rest, feel supported, and are present, and gentle with yourself. Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡

Constant “doing” keeps your nervous system on high alert.

Slow down and allow your emotions to rise to the surface and your mind to rest.

The first step to prioritizing being is to create space for stillness. 💚

It's official, I have received authorization to provide Interjurisdictional Telepsychology services through the PSYPACT Commission!

This authorization allows me to provide telepsychology sessions to people in any of the 43 states that participate in PSYPACT.

PSYPACT empowers licensed psychologists to serve clients across state lines, benefitting rural and border cities and other underserved areas that might otherwise have limited access to mental health care.

This milestone reflects my commitment to expanding access to quality mental health care and supporting people across state lines.

I’m grateful to all my clients, past, present, and future!

Thank you for trusting me with your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It’s an honor to be part of your journey.

Under the moon’s quiet glow, honesty is easy to find.

This is a gentle reminder to set down your armor and let yourself be. 🌕

I took this picture of the moon rising over the Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe.

Emotional masks often begin as protection.
Be careful, masks can turn into walls blocking connections.

The first step to removing ‘masks’ is awareness. 💕

I captured this image of Aspen leaves on the west shore of Lake Tahoe in Blackwood Canyon. 🍃

Aspen leaves swaying in the breeze, always remind me that finding moments of calm is possible, even when life is stressful.

Take time to nurture peace and strive for balance in your life. 💚
