Ever wonder what it’s like to work with me???

Whether it’s through talk therapy, LENS or Consultation…this is a little taste of what you’ll get ✨

Perks of having a nerdy, inclusive and neurospicy therapist 🫶

Join me next week!

🎁 Helping Clients Survive (and Maybe Even Enjoy) the Holidays

The holiday season isn’t joyful for everyone—and as therapists, we see that up close. Family dynamics, religious trauma, and the current socio-political climate can turn “festive” gatherings into emotional minefields.

Join for a 2-hour, trauma-informed continuing education workshop where we’ll unpack the unique stressors of the holiday season and give you ready-to-use tools to help clients:
✨ Regulate their nervous systems in high-stress moments
✨ Set and maintain healthy boundaries
✨ Navigate tricky conversations with more resilience and compassion

You’ll leave with practical interventions to integrate right away—so your clients can move through the holidays with greater stability, self-compassion, and emotional safety.

🗓️ 11/14/25, 9:00-11:00 Eastern

We get it, the Holidays can be a stressful time - and as a therapist, none of us want to sit through ANOTHER boring, impractical training on how to navigate these times!

So, join me on November 14th, for a 2 hour training (CE’s included!) to not only learn how to support your clients through the season, but support yourself as well 🫶

…just a little sneak peak of one of my favorite interventions for setting intentions ✨

I debated whether or not to share this - then figured why the hell not? There’s no shame in sharing this experience, because I can’t be the only one out there ☺️

But when you have a neurospicy brain - some holidays just hit different! 🎃🦃🎄

Meaning, sights, smells, noises, textures, socializing…depending on the day and where my nervous system is at, I know I’ll react differently. As will the rest of my household!

Then you throw a child into the mix, who also happens to have a neurospicy brain as well (thanks genetics!) and it amplifies it all!

So how do we work with our brain and body rather than against them? We reduce expectations! We don’t spend a ton of time out socializing, in this case trick or treating, especially if the brain and body aren’t there to do it. If part of a costume comes off, that’s ok, we simply move on. We have many hands on deck (thank you grandparents!!) to help with support. Oh, and we constantly direct body cues (potty time, hunger, nap/decompressing).

Sure - our household isn’t typical. But that’s ok, because we set it up to be neuro-affirming and soothing to various neurotypes and nervous systems.

So if you’re holidays or family traditions look a bit different to those around you - just know you’re not alone 💙 You’re doing what’s best for your family and best of all: you’re working WITH your brain and body ✨

Cue current hyper-fixation costumes 🏴‍☠️

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻💀

If you struggle with time of year, and have a history of Adverse Religious Experiences- it’s totally understandable!

As someone whose had this come up in their own life - you’re not alone ✨

When you’re neurodivergent, nervous system regulation is a top priority! …Especially when you have important duties as Matron of Honor and mommy to the cutest flower girl 🌹🌻

Why?? Because my reactivity, and ability to regulate shouldn’t come in the way of having a great time, celebrating with family and friends!

This is just another reason why I love this so much - and I’m so up front about doing this WITH my family! I wouldn’t be doing this with folks in my life that I love and cared about if I thought it didn’t work or was harmful.

Also - congrats to our cousins on their new marriage and having a BEAUTIFUL wedding ❤️❤️❤️

I get it — $275 feels like a lot for a training.
But here’s what you actually get for your investment:

✨ CE credits
✨ Your entire intake paperwork DONE
✨ Over 20 lawyer-approved documents
✨ Step-by-step guidance for building a practice that’s ethical, legal, and sustainable!!

If you met with me 1:1, it would cost $150/hr. My intake packet alone sells for $75 (only 15 forms). Add in lawyer-approved forms? You’re looking at $500+ in value 💸

For $275, you walk away with confidence + savings.
