Long story short: do what makes you happy 💕

03/14/2026

Confession: I’m not really a “reader.” Never have been. I always wish I was the kind of person who flies through books with a coffee in hand and a cute little bookmark situation… but in reality it usually takes me a while. 😅

That said, I’m setting a small intention for myself to dig into two books that have been on my list for a long time:
• The Body Keeps the Score — all about how trauma lives in our bodies and how healing can happen
• Good Inside — a parenting book that aligns so much with how I think about kids, behaviour, and connection

Part of this is for me, and part of it is because I’m always wanting to bring more knowledge and perspective into the work I do with clients and families.

So if you see me slowly making my way through these… just know I’m trying to live my best “I read books” life over here. 📚

If you’ve read either of them, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Office Space Available! Join a Lovely Community of Counsellors 🤍

We’re a group of six counsellors in individual private practices who will soon be moving into a brand new, purpose-built office space (currently under construction!), and we’re looking for a like-minded practitioner to rent an office in our shared space.

While we work independently (this is not a group practice), we value being part of a warm, respectful, and supportive professional environment. We prioritise good boundaries, confidentiality, and creating a calm, peaceful space for both clients and practitioners.

✨ About the space:
• New build (moving in this summer)
• Thoughtfully designed for therapeutic work
• Welcoming waiting area & shared amenities
• Quiet, professional, client-friendly atmosphere

This would suit a counsellor, psychologist, or allied health professional looking for a beautiful office within a positive and respectful shared setting.

If this sounds like your vibe, please fill out the form of interest at the link:

Self-care doesn’t look the same for everyone—and it doesn’t look the same every day. Some days it’s rest, quiet, and saying no; other days it’s movement, connection, or getting things done.
Self-care is about tuning in and giving yourself what you need on the days you need it, without judgment. It’s flexible, personal, and meant to support you where you are—not where you think you “should” be.

After a pretty stressful couple weeks, self care for me looks a lot like getting my favourite latte ☕️

We love seeing new programs and initiatives in the mental health community 👏🏻😍

A combination of both anxious and avoidant traits, this style often stems from inconsistent or overwhelming early experiences. People may crave closeness but also fear it, leading to mixed signals, emotional intensity, or difficulty trusting.

12/08/2025

This style is marked by a strong desire for closeness paired with fear of abandonment. Individuals may seek reassurance, worry about the stability of relationships, or feel heightened sensitivity to changes in connection.

12/06/2025

People with an avoidant style value independence and often feel uncomfortable depending on others. They may appear self-sufficient, keep emotions at a distance, or pull back when relationships feel too close.

12/04/2025

Securely attached individuals feel safe giving and receiving support. They communicate openly, regulate emotions well, and build healthy, stable relationships. This is the style we can all work toward—with awareness, insight, and practice.

Recently, I’ve been diving deeper into Attachment Theory—and it’s quickly become a framework I feel deeply connected to. Attachment begins at birth and continues to shape us well into adulthood. It influences how we show up in our closest relationships: with family, friends, and partners.

Think of attachment like a foundation. It can be reinforced, repaired, or built upon. Certain experiences may weaken it, while others strengthen it. The encouraging part? You’re never locked into a single attachment style. Growth and change are always possible.

There are four primary attachment styles: Avoidant, Anxious/Ambivalent, Disorganized, and Secure. Each comes with its own traits and patterns—and I’m excited to share more about them with you soon.
