Happy Holidays 🤍❄️

Sending you whatever you need this holiday season and hope you receive it tenfold.

Here’s to more learning and more lore in the New Year. 😂🫶🏻

These are the things I often say to fellow grievers and what people have said that moved me or what I wished they would say in the thick of my grief. I think people are often scared of “upsetting” the griever but the reality is — they’re already upset. You showing genuine care or interest is likely not going to worsen that grief, but you not acknowledging their beloved or their grief might.

Now that being said, I’m cautious about making blanket statements around grief (as it’s such an individualized experience and every relationship is so complex) but I have yet to meet someone who’s had a strong adverse reaction to these questions (unlike some of the other things we often say to grievers lol). I always assume that if people don’t want to talk about their loved one, they’ll find a way to move on from the topic or change the subject which I’m fine with too. Or I like to pause and check in, are you okay if I ask about them? Most people are overjoyed to talk about their person because no one really asks out of their own discomfort. But when we don’t ask, we don’t give grievers the chance to make those choices for themselves. We make them for them on their behalf.

That’s why I think talking about them and asking about them matters so much. It keeps our relationship with them alive. It keeps them alive.

What’s the most thoughtful thing someone said or asked you about when you were grieving? Let me know in the comments below. 🤍

your heart is welcome here — all of it.

the hurting parts
the healing parts
the people pleasing parts
the perfectionist parts
the grieving parts
the young parts
the scared parts
the angry parts
the parts no one seems to understand

you bring all of you and I promise to meet you with all of me. I’m finally accepting new clients so let’s connect. 🤍

A client asks, “Do you care? About me?”
“Are you here because you have to be?”
My heart sinks and hums —
I tell them, “Of course I do,”
Even if there’s no convincing you.
I care about you like one of my own,
I think about you with each turn of stone.
I wish I could give you so much more —
than a listening ear behind a closed door.
The hug you wanted that never came,
The fridge decorated like a hall of fame.
I care about you and the child inside,
The little boy who never cried.
I care about you and the things you desire,
The little girl who always put out the fire.
I care about you and the needs not met,
That little person scared to risk and bet.
I care about you beyond measure
The way you hold on, the things you tether,
Don’t let go, I want to say,
I’ll be here as long as I may.
Do I care about you?
Of
course
I
do.
In time, I hope there’s convincing you.

As we slip into a slower season and many of us return to therapy or start for the first time, here are some invitations to set yourself up for success as you start or return to therapy. 🫶🏻🤍

Is there anything you might add?

With just a little over a week left of August (I know, I know — don’t panic!!), here are some summer invitations for you to soak up the last bit of this beautiful month. 😌🌸

What else would you add to this list? Or is there anything you’ve done this summer that you loved or something you still want to do?

Let me know in the comments below! 💫

Thinking about my “brand” which is really just me??? (And also so weird to lean into selling yourself but also be a business owner and also capitalism to make a living and also allowing yourself to be seen and valued like wow it’s a lot lol)

But it’s got me thinking that this is what I hope people feel when they’re in the therapy room with me. I often say therapy is like a microcosm for relationships and attachment and hopefully, the ones you never got to experience or wanted to experience more of, for longer, etc.

So, when or if you come to my office, let me make you that tea, get you that water, laugh with you, cry with you, or leave unapologetically and safely if we’re not a fit, or not a fit any longer, because I also want that for you. 🤍

I remember being in my undergrad and feeling so overwhelmed that I felt conflicted on so many different perspectives, beliefs, and feelings. I assumed that everyone just picked “a side” and stuck to it. Or feeling confused about parts of my personality that seemed contradictory, like, I think I’m introverted but then why do I love to chat or make new friends?! Or being frustrated at myself for feeling conflicting emotions (e.g., I am grateful for my life and there’s things I want differently that I’m not happy about).

Thankfully I was introduced to the concept of dialectical thinking when I started learning about dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I didn’t have to choose!! I was given permission to accept all of the contradictory thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behaviours and just let them exist as they were. It was a liberating feeling to try not to fit myself into a box. My Gemini self was, and still is, truly living for it.

And now I’ve seen it show up all over social media and pop psychology which I’m so grateful for because I think we all need a little bit of that permission slip. We can experience joy AND grief; you can feel grateful for parts of your life AND wish other parts were different; you can love someone for who they are AND still want them to change, etc, etc.

What dialectic have you embraced lately? 🫶🏻

How cute is this little dopamine menu?! 🧠💌✨

I saw this on Pinterest and knew I had to recreate it for myself. A dopamine menu is a list of healthier activities that can provide you with a burst of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter commonly known as the “feel-good hormone.” It’s released when you do something enjoyable or good for yourself (or sometimes just doing anything hahah), like checking something off your to-do list or exercising.

Dopamine menus originated as a tool for neurodivergent folks (who are impacted by low dopamine) to have an accessible list of activities that can increase dopamine.

The reason why it’s called a dopamine menu is because it’s organized into different categories based on the amount of time, energy, and resources that each activity takes.

APPETIZERS 🫒

These are the small things you can do for a quick boost, usually taking 5–15 minutes. Some examples are having a dance break, petting your cat, eating a little snack, and making a cup of tea. Quick and efficient.

ENTRÉES🍝

Entrée activities take a bit longer and are good for when you need a true break. Some examples are reading, taking a bath, cooking your favourite meal, doing a yoga flow, or going to a coffee shop.

SIDES 🥖

Imagine sides as things that you can do simultaneously with another activity. Maybe it’s listening to a playlist while you work, putting on comfortable clothes, wearing a weighted blanket, or listening to an audiobook while you fold laundry. A sort of “habit stacking” if you will.

DESSERTS 🍨

This is the part of your menu for the things that you can do for a quick boost, but only in moderation. These are things like scrolling social media, marathon-watching a TV show, or online shopping. Tip: try to set a timer or a limit on this one

SPECIALS 🍱

Specials are just what they sound like — activities that you save for special occasions. For example, taking a vacation or going to a concert.

What would be on your dopamine menu?! Let me know below. ✨

Also, take a sip of water every time you read dopamine heheh. It’s a lot. And now you’re hydrated too!!

happy holidays & happy new year from me and mine to you and yours 🤍🫶🏻 (I wish you could see how cute this little face is!! 🥹😭)

as the year comes to a close, I want to acknowledge all the things I have learned from my clients over the past year (although I can barely summarize it in one post):
-how to receive goodness and grace from yourself and others even if it feels hard
-how to be brave and bold despite anxiety and doubt
-when to humbly accept or resign on someone or something and to know that it’s not your failing
-the maternal wisdom of all of my clients who have shown me kindness and compassion as I navigated pregnancy and motherhood (and who’s stories I have vicariously learned from over the years)
-the humility it takes to be accountable and apologize when you’ve hurt someone (even if unintentionally)
-the courage it takes to ask for the same from someone else in return
-the art of surrendering when things are out of our control and searching for what is
-the unrelenting beautiful, messy humanness we all are as we search for love and acceptance
-the gift of being able to celebrate and encouraging someone to do so — not to mention the honour of witnessing it
-that laughter really IS the best medicine sometimes
-that hope is a four letter word that shines even on the darkest days
-that grief and love are really two sides of the same coin
-that sometimes tough conversations are necessary whether we get the result we want or not
-that you all deserve a post-therapy treat
-and that we can barely wait to get into the therapy room so we don’t have to talk about the weather, weekend plans, or anything else surface level on the long walk to the office 😂🫶🏻

thank you for everything and thank you for being you 🤍🤍 here’s to a gentler, kinder 2025 for every one of you.

Cooler weather calls for a slowing down and stillness 🤎🍂 which I am also doing as I am sick with a cold and with a sick baby who also has my cold (but really, who am I kidding, it’s been a slower pace since having a baby in general haha 😅).

I think the reason people love fall so much is because it delights the senses. There’s warmth, there’s crispness — it’s the perfectly opposite pairings that makes things feel so vibrant and rich and folks love it, myself included. It also lasts for a fleeting moment making it all the more special and worthy of mindfulness.

I was inspired to make this post as I’ve been doing lots of mindful walks (again, in between baby crying and trying to keep my eyes open 😂) and really trying to notice what my senses are delighted by. I also started to curate a fall playlist which I am loving.

What's your favourite thing to be mindful of in the fall? Comment below. 🥮🍁

So this week I started my maternity leave 🥹✨

I just wanted to share my heartfelt thanks to all the clients who I have said “goodbye for now” to over the past month or so. I’m going to miss your vulnerability, your stories, your triumphs, supporting you in the trenches, and all the special and hard moments in between. Wherever you are, rest assured I’ll be thinking about you and wondering how you’re doing, if that thing ever panned out, how that hard conversation went, and sending you all the healing and compassion I can muster.

Even if there seems to be some “goodbye forevers” sprinkled in there, I don’t really believe goodbyes are forever. People will always make their mark on your heart and you will carry them with you in some way, shape, or form and vice versa. I sort of liken it to an exchange of etching your initials into the bark of a tree — it’s always there, even as you grow and change. So thank you for that. 🤍

Nonetheless, I will still post on here haphazardly (mostly because I love a good meme ~*common humanity*~, relatable/vetted therapy content, and baby animal videos 🤗) but I might not always be active/responding to emails as I’m taking that off my phone for now.

See you all in the fall/winter and have the most restful, fun, healing summer. ☀️🫶🏻
