🖊️ What’s one story about yourself you’re ready to rewrite?

Maybe it's the one that says you're too much.
Or that you always mess things up.
Or that your needs don’t matter.

Therapy can be a space to gently unpack these stories.
To explore where they came from, and ask whether they still serve you.
To practice speaking to yourself with kindness, not criticism.

You don’t have to keep living by old narratives that no longer feel true.
You’re allowed to grow, to change, to reclaim your voice.

✨ In therapy, you get to explore who you are without judgment. You get to write a story that actually feels like yours.

✨ You don’t have to fit your love, your body, or your desires into anyone else’s mold.

Whether you’re exploring polyamory, kink, q***r intimacy, or just rewriting what connection means to you, you’re not broken. You’re brave.

You get to define your own version of intimacy. You get to ask for what you need. You get to build relationships rooted in truth, not tradition.

What would it feel like to give yourself permission to want what you want—without shame?

🖤 Your love is valid. Your needs are real. Your story deserves space.

🌀 Libido is influenced by so many things: STRESS, hormones, trauma, medication, sleep, safety, past relationships, cultural traditions and expectations.

If you're not satisfied with your libido and you wish you could talk about it, Harmony Tree Therapy is here for you.

So instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
Try asking:
💬 What do I need to feel safe? To feel s*xual? To feel wanted? To feel like myself?

This post isn’t about comparison - it’s about self-awareness, compassion, and opening up space for real, honest conversations.

It’s completely normal for partners to experience desire differently. What matters most isn’t matching perfectly but how you move through the difference with care.

This isn’t about being too much or not enough. It’s about creating space to be honest, kind, and curious. You can do that with each other or with the support of a therapist.

💬 What would it feel like to name your needs without shame?
You deserve a relationship where those conversations feel safe.

✨ If this is something you’re navigating, you're not alone. Let’s talk.

Let’s talk about loneliness.
This is me with my dogs, two little anchors of comfort and companionship in a world that sometimes feels disconnected.

As we get older, making friends or forming new relationships doesn’t always come as easily. Things don’t feel as organic as they once did. The spontaneous meetups, the ease of connection, even the chance to be truly seen can all feel a bit out of reach.

Whether you’re longing for romantic connection or a circle of deep, soul-nourishing friendships, you’re not alone. Loneliness doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It means you’re human, wired for connection, and aware of your own longing.

If this resonates, I see you. You're allowed to want more. You're allowed to name your loneliness without shame.

What is Gender Dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria is a term used to describe the emotional distress that can occur when someone’s gender identity doesn’t align with the s*x they were assigned at birth. It’s not about something being “wrong” with a person. It’s about the pain and discomfort that can come from living in a world that may not see or affirm your true self.

For some people, gender dysphoria might show up as a longing to change aspects of their body, discomfort with certain pronouns, or deep emotional pain related to being misgendered. For others, it may be more subtle, like a sense of disconnection, grief, or restlessness they can’t quite name.

Not everyone who is trans or gender-diverse experiences gender dysphoria. And not everyone who experiences it will take the same steps to feel more aligned. Transitioning can look many different ways, and all are valid.

If you're exploring your gender or supporting someone who is, know this: your feelings are real. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and supported in your body and your identity.

You're not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this without care. 💛

I work with a lot of individuals and couples who are navigating alternative s*xual lifestyles, and I want you to know you’re welcome here.

Whether you're exploring consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, swinging, B**M, D/s dynamics, kink, polyamory, pans*xuality, or something uniquely your own, this is a space where your identity and experiences are honoured without judgment.

My approach is grounded in support, curiosity, deep respect, and lived experience. You deserve a therapist who gets it and who walks beside you as you create the relationships and life that feel true to you.

Stay tuned for my next photo dump of the newest addition to our puppy loves!

What is bis*xual?

Bis*xuality is a valid and diverse s*xual orientation. A bis*xual person is someone who experiences attraction to more than one gender. This doesn’t always mean an equal or simultaneous attraction to all genders—just that gender isn’t a limiting factor in who they may love or desire.

💡 Some bi folks use the term to describe attraction to both similar and different genders. Others may also identify as pans*xual, q***r, or fluid. Language can be deeply personal, and it’s okay if definitions evolve over time.

📣 What matters most is that bis*xual people deserve the same respect, affirmation, and belonging as anyone else.

If you're exploring your own identity or want to better support someone who is, you’re not alone. You deserve a space where your questions are welcome and your truth is honored.

💌 Have questions or want to learn more? Feel free to reach out or drop them in the comments. Safe conversations start here.

Being a teenager today is hard. Really hard.

As a former high school teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the pressure that today’s youth carry: academic demands, social media comparison, identity exploration, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) question of “do I even belong?”

💬 Talk therapy offers a safe, affirming space for teens to be heard without judgment. Whether your teen is navigating stress, anxiety, friendship changes, gender identity, s*xuality, or simply figuring out who they are, support is available.

✨ Adolescents don’t need to have it all figured out. But they do deserve a space where their feelings are valid, their identity is respected, and they can explore life’s big questions safely.

🌱 I offer 1:1 adolescent talk therapy that centers curiosity, respect, and emotional growth.

You’ve spent enough time criticizing yourself. What if healing began with a different kind of voice, one that speaks to you with kindness?

This quote from Louise Hay is a powerful reminder: change doesn’t come from shame. It comes from gentle, consistent approval. From choosing, again and again, to meet yourself with softness, not scrutiny.

If you’re feeling stuck in self-judgment, body shame, or the exhaustion of never feeling “enough,” you don’t have to navigate that alone. This work is tender. It’s okay to need support along the way.

🌿 If you're looking for a space where you can reconnect with your worth, your voice, and your body, I’m here.
✨ Therapy can be a place to unlearn the harshness and relearn how to hold yourself with care.

📩 Send me a message or use the link in bio to book a free consultation. Your healing deserves time, space, and support.

What does it actually mean to be transgender? Let’s talk about it.

Being transgender means that the gender someone knows themselves to be is different from the s*x they were assigned at birth. That’s it.

Some trans people transition socially (like using a new name or pronouns), medically (through hormones or surgeries), or in other ways, but not all do, and no path is more “valid” than another. What matters most is that each person has the right to define and express their gender in a way that feels true to them.

Being trans is not a trend or a phase. It’s a deeply human experience of knowing who you are, even when the world hasn’t always made space for that.

If you’ve got questions, you’re welcome here. Learning is powerful. And unlearning outdated ideas can be a form of care too.

🌱 Let’s create space for curiosity, not shame.
💬 Drop your questions in the comments or DM me if you’d rather ask privately. There are no “dumb” questions here, just the start of better understanding.

You deserve to know the truth. And trans folx deserve to be seen, respected, and celebrated every day.
