When the holidays don’t feel so happy... here are some ideas of what to say to your loved ones:

❄️ No need to respond, I just know this time of year is tough and I want to let you know I’m thinking about you.

❄️ I’m spending the day wrapping gifts and I’m happy to wrap yours too! I can swing by in an hour to pick up your gifts and drop them back off tomorrow.

❄️ I made an extra batch of gingerbread cookies for you! I know they’re your favorite. They’re on the porch. I’ll be by to pick up the pan next week. (*This gives you an excuse to check back in.)

❄️ This time of year asks so much of us and it’s totally okay if you aren’t in the “holiday spirit” this season.

❄️ If you’d like some company, I’m free to come over and chill. No talking required.

❄️ I completely understand if you’re not up to coming to the holiday party next week. The invitation is open, but let’s plan a time for the two of us to connect if that would feel better for you.

Our Story...

If you’re here you may be wondering… where did Blue Boat Counseling come from? I realize it’s unconventional as practice names go, but its story starts when I was a kid. I loved blue, and it seemed to run deeper than just a favorite color. It went for all the typical things, but the practice name comes from our summer trips to amusement parks. I would get in line for the rides and always wait for the blue boat (or car or plane). Yes, this means I let other riders go ahead of me while I waited for blue, which always got a few looks. When I look back on that scene today, I realize I was just being the real me. And that blue boat is a symbol of being your true self, which is exactly what I try to help my clients find. So I decided there was no better symbol for my counseling practice than this one of authenticity and freedom to be yourself. I want my blue boat to be a reminder that you deserve to BE YOU.
