Rest is remembering. Rest is honoring. Rest is gratitude ❤️
I am choosing to rest this December. I hope that you join me. You’ve done so much for everyone else all year long. Now do something for you and rest 😴

If you’re thinking about making the jump into private practice, now is the time to sign up with SimplePractice! I know, I know, we are boycotting Black Friday deals, but this is one deal you don’t want to miss.
Just a few things I am thankful for. I get to live, learn, and grow in two careers I love. When times get tough (and it’s been rough this year!) I remember these moments, those that have come before me that led the way in resistance, and my “why” to get me through 🥰
In this season of gratitude and thankfulness, what are you grateful for?

Grief can be so heavy, especially around the holidays. I am choosing to remember that my grief is a reflection of the love I have for my loved ones, as I allow myself to feel my grief fully, without shame or judgement.
I hope this brings you comfort too ❤️🩹

We honor our veterans and continue to advocate for their health and wellbeing, and access to essential services once their service ends. Gratitude and accountability must coexist. Let’s remember both today. ❤️🤍💙
