If December feels heavier than you expected, there’s a reason — and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.

This season activates a lot:

family dynamics, old roles, expectations, memories, and a nervous system that’s already carrying a full year. Add school concerts, disrupted routines, and the emotional labor of holding it together for others, and it makes sense if you’re tired.

Difficulty during the holidays doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or broken. It means your system is responding to a lot.

You’re allowed to feel both love and overwhelm.

You’re allowed to need more support — or more space — right now.

Nothing needs to be fixed today. Being gentle with yourself is enough.

For many, survival meant silencing needs. Our nervous systems protect us this way when attunement and safety weren’t available.

But needs don’t vanish — they live quietly in the body, waiting for safety.

Therapy, through a somatic and attachment lens, offers a place to notice these longings with compassion. To move slowly. To practice receiving support. To feel what it’s like to have needs honored, not dismissed.

For a long time, I didn’t understand the power or nuance of the breath — it felt like something people just said when things got hard.

Even when I taught breathing as a coping skill, I could sense that others didn’t quite feel its depth either.

Now, it feels like a quiet way to check in —
a small, steady rhythm that reminds me I’m here.

Each moment in therapy is a conversation — not just in words but between nervous systems.

I wrote about this dance of co-regulation, capacity, and attuned presence as a guest blogger for Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy Training.

This piece is close to my heart — a reflection on what it means to hold space with steadiness, tenderness, and humanity.

Hello, Fall 🍁

It’s the first day of fall here in Calgary, and something about this season always feels like a quiet reset. Many people say fall feels like the real new year—and I’ve been noticing that too.

The days are shifting, the light is changing, and there’s a gentle invitation to slow down, shed what no longer serves, and step into what feels ready to grow.

As we step into this season, I’m curious: What feels new or ready to shift for you this fall?

✨ Tending to what’s here while holding space for you. ✨

Like a lighthouse—steady and present—I’ve been moving a little more quietly lately. And even in the quiet, I remain rooted in this work: walking alongside clients as they navigate their own waters.

For me, therapy is about creating a space where both the heavy and the hopeful can be held—with care, attunement, and curiosity.

I’m warmly welcoming new clients and look forward to supporting the kind of trust, ease, and presence in relationships that allows healing to unfold naturally—together.

💌 If you’re curious about beginning therapy or simply want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

You’re not “too much.” You were just trying to stay connected.

People-pleasing isn’t a flaw—it’s a survival strategy. One that made sense when being easygoing felt safer than being real.

But your needs aren’t a burden. They’re a compass.
You’re allowed to take up space, ask for care, and be met with warmth.

✨ New on the blog: “You’re Not Too Much: Reclaiming Needs After a Lifetime of Feeling Dismissed”

This is a gentle reminder that your full self is worthy of belonging.

Being the strong one is exhausting.
You hold space. You stay steady.
You bend without breaking.
You carry more than your share—without ever letting it show.

But even trees need soft soil.
Even rivers run dry without replenishment.
Even you need somewhere to land.

Maybe your body is whispering what your mind has learned to override.

Maybe the tiredness isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. Relational. Somatic.

When was the last time you truly felt cared for?
Not for what you do—but simply for being you.

This isn’t about becoming stronger.
It’s about tending to what’s been holding it all.

💛 You don’t have to carry it alone.
My latest blog is a compassionate look at emotional labor, nervous system wisdom, and what your body—like the land—might be longing for.
