Do therapists therapize each other? 🤔

In small ways, yes.

But most of the time it just looks like us being people with each other. Talking, laughing, making keychains, and just sharing space in a way that feels easy and real.

We are therapists, but we are also just people who need connection, rest, and others we can feel comfortable with.

And honestly, we love the work we do, and we also really like the people we get to do it with.

At JPP, we care about how we show up for each other as a team. We try to build relationships that feel supportive, safe, and grounding. And in a way, we hope that same kind of care is what people feel when they come to work with us too. 💛

After becoming a mother, it can feel hard to recognize yourself in the mirror the same way you used to.

But the people who love you most don’t measure you by what you think is missing, they feel your presence, your care, and your love.

This is your reminder that you are still so many things, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it. 🤍

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO TRANSLATE YOURSELF TO FEEL UNDERSTOOD.

For many individuals in BIPOC communities, there is an added layer when seeking support, the quiet effort of explaining identity, culture, and lived experience in ways that can feel exhausting over time. That effort can shape how safe, seen, and connected you feel in the process.

Representation in care can ease that emotional load in ways that are often hard to put into words.

Friendship changes can bring a real sense of grief. When you’ve shared years of memories, routines, and inside jokes with someone, that history doesn’t disappear overnight.

At the same time, personal growth, new boundaries, and evolving identities can change what people need from their relationships.

Conversations about outgrowing friendships, emotional growth, boundaries, and healthy relationships are part of understanding how we grow, both individually and in connection with others.

It’s also worth checking in with yourself. Growth in relationships can invite us to reflect on how we show up, what we’ve learned, and the kind of friendships we want moving forward.

Funny how life turns out…

From childhood to present, every experience shapes how we show up for the people we support today. Culture, identity, and lived experiences all play a part in how we connect, understand, and hold space. 💛

Music is one of the simplest ways to support emotional regulation. It can influence your nervous system, heart rate, and mood, which is why certain songs can help you feel more grounded, calm, or present.

For many people, music is also tied to culture, memory, and identity, making it a powerful and personal regulation tool.

These are some of the songs our team turns to when we want to regulate and reset.

What songs help you regulate?

Time for a friendship audit! ⏰

These are themes that often come up in sessions when people talk about friendships that feel confusing, draining, or harder to maintain than they used to.

Many friendship struggles come from assumptions that were never talked about, or from change that happens over time without notice.

It can help to look at friendships with more clarity, especially around what you need and what you are actually receiving. At the same time, it is just as important to check in with yourself and how you are showing up in your relationships.

Healthy connections usually require both awareness of others and awareness of self.

Moderating a women in sport fireside chat in Toronto was an honour and a reminder of the importance of holding space for these conversations. ✨

At the SOUL2SOLE Collective event, I had the opportunity to guide an intimate discussion with leaders across sport and performance, including WNBA and Toronto Tempo General Manager Monica Rogers, former WNBA and VP of Basketball Operations for Upshot League, Taj McWilliams-Franklin, and Dakota Whyte, Canada Basketball Alum and Executive Director of PS43 Foundation.

We spoke about leadership in sport, resilience in high-performance environments, and the mindset changes that support long-term impact.

As a mental health clinician working with athletes and organizations such as the Toronto Raptors, NCAA, and MLS, these conversations sit at the intersection of sport, performance, and mental wellbeing.

Grateful to contribute to a space that continues to elevate women in sport leadership.

First quarter of 2026, DONE! ✨

March has been unfolding in its own way, and I’ve been learning to move with it instead of against it.

There’s been a mix of work I care about, time with people I love, moments worth celebrating, and space to slow down and take care of myself.

I’m learning that I can honour my own pace while still showing up fully, and that rhythm feels a lot more sustainable.

Lately, it’s been about staying present, enjoying what’s in front of me, and letting that be enough.

How has this month been feeling for you so far?

I see why the Miami Open is such a big deal. 👀

It’s one of those sports events where you’re constantly moving around, catching tennis matches, exploring brand activations, and finding something new every few minutes.

Very easy to enjoy, and honestly such a good day out in Miami.

𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘 ✔️

The first few months of the year are almost behind us. Sometimes it feels like progress is slow or like you’re running just to stay in place.

It’s normal to feel a little frustrated or unsure. What matters is noticing what works, what doesn’t, and figuring out one small thing you can do differently to make the next few months feel a bit lighter.

WORKING ON BEING A _____ ❓

Well, I woke up and chose me! ✨

I've realized that there’s something humbling about realizing you don’t actually have to figure everything out by yourself.

Not because you can’t.
But because you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through it.

Sometimes the most mature thing you can do for yourself is let someone help you stay consistent.

If you’ve been trying to do everything solo, maybe this is your reminder that support is allowed.

Who keeps you accountable these days?
