🧿We are slowly closing out the last cycle of the year that broke so many of us wide open.

Although we may have asked ourselves what wasn’t working for us in the past, this year put a barricade in front of us—the likes of which we have never seen—to force us to address what we avoid AND let go before we will be granted access to move forward.

No bypassing this time.
No faking it until you make it.

This year was about serious business.
Our business.
The business of living ON purpose IN purpose.

Message received. Loud…
And finally… clear.

✨If you’re still feeling mystified at this point, I am offering a select few 3-card Amplifier readings so you can cut the cords and tie up any loose ends that might keep you in knots when the new year dawns.

DM me UNBOUND to claim it.

🧠Sage advice for even me to begin to accept and integrate. Despite what happened along the path of the long and winding road of my life so far, here I am—entering a phase where I learn to accept myself more fully than I ever could’ve imagined would be necessary.

It’s time to learn a new way of being that honors everything about who I am now and getting to know this new woman I am becoming.

I am grateful to to continue growing.🌱

💚✨I help neurodiverse women unmask, unlearn oppressive beliefs, and unleash their authentic selves to live more aligned and fully alive.

My counseling approach is rooted in social awareness, personal meaning, and client empowerment. It is shaped by my core values of being person-centered, trauma-informed, culturally competent, identity-affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming.

These guiding principles inform how I nurture relationships, adapt interventions, and hold space for my clients to feel seen, safe, and supported.

I work from a foundation of empathy and collaboration, honoring each person’s experience while helping them reclaim agency, explore the events and circumstances of their lives, and heal while considering systemic, relational, developmental, and environmental influences.

My theoretical orientation integrates Humanist, Feminist, and Existential theories, grounded in the belief that people grow through authentic connection, self-awareness, and reclamation of agency—especially in the face of early adversity and systemic oppression.

I draw on evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), while incorporating narrative, sensory, and somatic interventions to support trauma processing, emotional regulation, and identity development.

These tools help my clients externalize internalized beliefs, track patterns between mind and body, and develop more compassionate relationships with themselves. Healing must honor mind-body-spirit and the sociocultural context in which a person lives.

🤔If I sound like the kind of counselor you’ve been looking for, reach out. I have immediate openings for new clients in Virginia. While I complete my MS-CMHC, sessions are only $50 self-pay and I accept Medicaid.

💚I AM here to help you.

👉All YOU need to do is take that first step.

🤔 If you don’t teach them, who will?

Also, you deserve to be free of the societal conditioning and shackles that weigh you down. Somewhere along the way, everyone got really confused about women’s roles within the home and outside of them.

Mom is mom. Mom is not your slave. Mom is not your servant. And mom is certainly not your enabler.

Mom is your center. Your balance. Your home. Your safety and safe place until you learn to hold those spaces yourself.

Mom is your teacher. Your model. Your guiding light—until yours burns so brightly and fiercely you know you no longer need to walk in her shadow.

This doesn’t mean you ever quite outgrow mom. Mom‘s role changes, as yours does. As you grow older, mom continues to study you and gives you enough independence and autonomy to figure things out for yourself. She ensures you are imbued with confidence and capability instead of fear and uncertainty.

She patiently waits for you until you can walk beside her, instead of safely behind her.

Mom has always known that you are enough. That YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN and YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.✨

Just as she holds space for you until you learn to hold it on your own, SHE HOLDS this belief and her unwavering faith in you as well.

SO IT IS up to each of us moms, one moment at a time, to set the record straight from NOW ON.✨

The past only matters if we learn from it. It does not matter enough to be bound and restricted by it any longer.

💚ALLOW your children to see you strong + brave.
💚ALLOW your children to see you healing + well.

And, if you find you need a little more help with that, I’m only a message away.💖

🌘✨A beautiful question to ponder this cool, gloomy October morning. I can hear the crows calling outside. They’re crying, “deeper, go deeper.”

😡💢Anger, aggression, and hurtfulness cannot be met with more anger, aggression, and hurtfulness.

Instead, it must be met with compassion + gratitude.💚

I AM so grateful my son is my strongest mirror + one of my greatest inspirations.✨

We talked about his gratitude, practice sheet on the way to his biweekly Saturday morning counseling appointment. Because he is autistic and still growing + learning, we had to further define a few of the prompts on the page.

We talked about mama being a Who instead of a What. Once he understood What was a thing, he said he was grateful for the world because he loves being in it, and he loves his life. Last week, I am not sure he would’ve answered the same.

I AM grateful for change and how quickly it can come.✨

Speaking of change, it started to pour down rain as we got into the car and began our journey for the day. Although we had initially planned to visit the pumpkin patch today, my son exclaimed, “today is not a good day for the pumpkin patch!” I replied, “no, it is not.” Just like that, my son— who typically struggles with cognitive rigidity and change— easily accepted what was happening and generated a new suggestion for our day.

As we continued driving, he asked if I thought he chose “I mean it” or “I want to mean it.” My instinctual reaction was to guess “you want to mean it.” Only that wasn’t a true response—it was a reflection of the trauma that happened in our family last week. Instead, I paused and embraced the silence for a few moments. He jumped right in, and replied, “I chose ‘I mean it.’”✨

My son then asked me if he did well and if his gratitude practice made up for his behavior earlier that morning. I replied that he did and that it does after he answered one more question I had...

🤓🙏 A good reminder from Deepak Chopra today via his book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. I am loving this pocket size version!

“Success in life can be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of where the goals. … success is a journey, not a destination. … success includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, create a freedom, and a sense of well-being. … the abundant flow of all good things to us. … how efficiently, how effortlessly, we co-create with the universe. They always began at the source…. The power of our spirit.”💚✨

💞✨ Oh, the women’s circle gatherings shall begin again soon. As wonderous October begins to settle deeply within us, we find the fall breeze shaking things up and urging us to come together to celebrate the winds of change. I’ll let you know when it’s time.

🍂🍁🍂 Little delights while walking my puppy angel, Casper. A breath of fresh fall air. A crisp, autumn breeze. Joy in unexpected places.
