Oh, The Pain We Cause Ourselves. ❤️‍🩹 But we don’t have to if we can be more self aware, self compassionate and accountable. Take a deep breath before you react. And ask yourself, what will help me love myself through this pain?

Better Self-Awareness = Better Behavior = Better Time. Holidays are the breeding ground for both joy and triggers. We can accept that without feeling bad about it. Tools like time outs are just smart. They create more peace within and without. Peaceful holidays. 🙏✨💛

Partnership Requires Far More Than We Think. Women, especially, are not taught to expect the necessities of partnership. We are, in fact, EXPECTED to lower our expectations to the point that we don’t have partners. We have projects. No wonder we live our lives in constant chaos and exhaustion. Let’s change that!

Simplify, simplify, simplify. Life is here for the living! There are too many choices, too many thoughts, too many ways to disconnect. Stay true to yourself, do what you love, choose relationships wisely and chase your joy! That’s all. 🙌✨💛

I Let Myself Feel Every Gut Wrenching Moment. 🙏 The only way to the other side of grief is through. This loss is here for a reason. Pushing it away, pretending it doesn’t hurt, running from it… never works. Do the work now. Learn, grow and become a more empowered, authentic you.💛✨🤝

Helpful Tips for Family Issues at the Holidays ❤️ Boundaries are essential for our emotional health. Setting boundaries at the holidays is especially difficult because there’s so much pretending, otherwise known as denial. Stand up for authenticity this year! Do what’s right for you. 😎

The Scientific Reason You Can’t Let Go. Your brain will not let go until you have RESOLUTION. Stop yourself and others from telling you to let go when you’re not ready and there are valid reasons why. Use this evidence based tool to help you become aware of and work through letting go. Finding resolution is the key to freedom. 😎

We Are Created with a De-Stress Valve. Use it Now. 🙏 Our brain and body are far more equipped to tell us when we’re stressed. We try to argue with our stress signals. Deny them. Blame our stress on others. But the bottom line is… stress is not going away unless we make it go away. Using tools like belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) is a full proof way to de-stress and feel better.

It’s so Easy to get Disconnected from Those we Love. Use evidence based somatic exercises to get back in sync. After busy days. After hard times. After time apart. Take the time to reconnect. Use with friends, family, anyone you love and want to restore connection with.

When Mood Matching Takes You Down with Them. 🫠 We all know how it is to have someone around us be emotionally disregulated. Notice how quickly you will match right along to their mood. Irritated, annoyed, complaining. Unless mood matching is happy to happy, positive to positive, it doesn’t help to match a person in their bad place. Remind yourself that you’re no good to them if you mood match with them. Do your own emotional thing. Support them if you can. But you don’t have to join them in a place that’s not helpful for either of you.

Some Clients Say the Darnedest Things. 💛😂 Being a therapist allows me to create relationships with people I’d never have otherwise crossed paths with. Wonderful, funny, loving, deep, thoughtful people. I simply love my job. ⭐️💛🙏 So honored to be in my client’s lives.

Don’t Let Them Invalidate You. 🙏 You have a right to be heard. If they won’t or can’t hear you, you are wasting your time. ✨
