Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

Our relationships with ourselves are just as important as our relationships with others. Prioritizing self-care gives us the energy and perspective to show up as better partners. Whether it’s carving out alone time, fostering social connections, or saying “yes” to new opportunities, nurturing yourself strengthens your relationship.

Research shows that the kinder we are to ourselves the better we feel; mood and performance can improve and feelings of anxiety, shame and depression can be reduced. Practicing self-compassion can also enhance feelings of well-being and joy. Take Kristin Neff's Self-Compassion Test to find out if maybe you can be a little gentler with yourself.

Taking time to listen shows genuine care and appreciation, making others feel valued. According to Dr. John Gottman, Dale Carnegie's timeless wisdom from "How to Win Friends and Influence People" remains invaluable. "You can make more friends in two months by becoming genuinely interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

Being mindful in conversations can transform your relationships. Whether you're seasoned or just starting, listening is crucial in today's distracted digital age. Interested in learning some listening tips? Check out our dedicated blog post here: https://bit.ly/3RyX6D2

"Before we have boundaries, we often think of them as something that keeps people out. As we become boundaried, we realize it’s not that at all.
Boundaries do provide protection, yes, but they are waaaay more about connection.
Connecting with those we’d like to invite in.
And discovering how to connect with our own selves.
Aaaah.

Boundaries are beautiful."

Our Story ~ Cover art by Karen Triggs

We all feel discouraged sometimes and we all want to be seen and loved for who we are.

Life does not always go where we expect it to - disappointments, losses and transitions do happen. As your therapist, I offer compassion and insight along with mindfulness and evidence-based approaches. Learn to manage stress, build self compassion and sit with your feelings (exhaustion, sadness, anxiety, anger, self-doubt, shame and more) without judgment.

We will also tap into your inner wisdom so you can begin to forge a new path forward. This journey can include laughter, joy and feeling at home in who you are despite the challenges you are facing. I am honored to work with you and/or your partner or family and am committed to assisting you.

To get started, reach out to me by text, call or email to schedule your complimentary initial phone consultation. This way, we can talk briefly about what’s happening and make sure I am the right person for you to meet with. If it seems someone else or a different location would be best I can make referrals for you to connect with other therapists or resources.
