Self-Care Isn’t Always Bubble Baths

Sometimes self-care is:

• Logging off earlier
• Setting a boundary
• Letting the house be messy (I refuse to clean up more than once a day)
• Taking a walk when your brain feels full
• Giving yourself permission to rest

Self-care is anything that supports your well-being, not just what looks good on social media.

We talk about red and green flags in relationships - but what about with your therapist?

What is a green flag for you?
What is a red flag?

Boundaries are for your an no one else

People do not need to understand them or agree with them nor do you have to explain them in order to set them.

Healthy people will respect them..

Emotions can be hard

If you were never taught how to regulate emotions it may seem like the hardest thing to do

Start simple..

Check in with yourself throughout the day and ask "How am I feeling"

Create names that work for you like "wonky"

The goal is the name the emotion to help your nervous system regulate; eventually working up to naming them while in a heated argument, or feeling stressed or anxious.

An emotion is a 90 second reaction in our brain if we allow it to be

Busy seasons happen — work deadlines, family responsibilities, parenting, running a household, caring for others.

During these times, self-care often feels like one more thing on the list.
But it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Small moments of care — a walk, a deep breath, a boundary, going to bed earlier — can help your nervous system reset and make busy seasons more manageable.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stretched too thin, therapy can help create space to process, recharge, and reconnect with yourself

Green Flags in Relationships

We hear a lot about red flags…but what about the green ones?

Healthy relationships aren’t perfect — but they do have patterns that help people feel safe, respected, and supported.

Here are a few green flags to look for:

✔️ They respect your boundaries
When you say no, they listen — without guilt or pressure.

✔️ You can talk about hard things
Disagreements don’t turn into attacks. You both stay curious and willing to repair.

✔️ You feel emotionally safe
You can be honest about your feelings without fear of being dismissed or mocked.

✔️ They take accountability
Instead of defensiveness, they can say “I’m sorry” and work toward doing better.

✔️ You can be yourself
You don’t feel like you have to shrink, perform, or constantly prove your worth.

✔️ They celebrate your wins
Your growth, success, and happiness are met with genuine support.

Healthy relationships often feel steady, respectful, and emotionally safe — not chaotic or confusing.

If you’ve spent time in difficult relationship dynamics, healthy love can sometimes feel unfamiliar at first. That’s okay. It’s something people can learn, build, and grow toward.

You deserve relationships that feel safe, supportive, and real.

I've been asked a lot recently what does a typical day for me look like or if it is okay for clients to have their appointments over 'lunch time'.

This is a short version of what a typical day looks like as a Mom who runs their own Private Practice...

*Yes my husband helps based on his shift schedule*

What I am currently reading

03/02/2026

If you’ve been telling yourself **“I should be able to handle this on my own”** — this is your sign that you don’t have to anymore 🤍

Life gets heavy sometimes. Anxiety. Burnout. Parenting stress. Relationship tension. That constant mental load that never seems to turn off.

Therapy isn’t about being broken.
It’s about finally having a space where **you don’t have to hold everything together for everyone else.**

✨ A space to breathe.
✨ A space to be honest.
✨ A space to feel like yourself again.

I help busy parents, professionals, and overwhelmed humans move from surviving → to actually feeling grounded and confident again.

📍 In-person & virtual sessions available in Alberta and B.C.
📅 Limited daytime spots open

You deserve support too.

I teach emotional regulation for a living…
and some days I still snap when someone asks for one more snack.

That doesn’t make me a bad mom.

It makes me a human nervous system inside motherhood.

What matters isn’t never losing it — it’s modeling how to come back.

Repair > perfection. Own your mistake and apologize. 💛
