On this page, I will be sharing some information, tools, and tidbits from my psychotherapy work with the hopes of enhancing your wellness goals! I know what it feels like to be different and look different and my hope is that this page builds a community for all, especially for those who feel out of place.

One thing Ramadan always does to meeeee, is have me reflect over who I am, and what needs to either change or stay.

And I remember a day this week when preparing a meal for iftar? I was thinking, oh my goodnessss, how faster I’m doing this or how easier things have been? Reflecting back realizing, hey, if I knew what I knew today, and I could do life all over again? How would I do it?

SHARE BELOW, your reflections, I love them so much! I want to hear what comes up for you!

There is a HUGE difference between being raised to know how to ‘endure loss, and hardship’ VS knowing how to mourn them.

In sessions this is where .. my clients have the BIGGEST moments of enlightenment .. where they’re like .. oh? Oh… OHHH… the difference!!!

I love this topic so much, and over the last three hears, I’ve been obsessed with this topic. While I understand this more? I can’t wait to grow and share all of it with you.

A love note to the woman in a season of waiting for motherhood. ✨

These slides are literally everything I keep telling myself in this season.

I hope it finds the one on this season with me who needs both community and gentle words of hope.

♥️, for more on this please make sure to subscribe my newsletter via link in bio .. as I feel safer sometimes speaking to things there instead of here.

I CAN GO ON FOR DAAAAYSSS! Whenever friends of mine and even my community of other social workers / therapists come together .. we always always always ask: ‘what constitutes for a health relationship, regardless of romantic/ platonic/ or familial’ … what do they have in common?

Obviously depending on our life experiences we come to it differently? But here’s what I’ve learned we can all agree on .. constitutes .. THE HEALTHIEST stable, and enriching friendship. They have these values, and this understanding.

Do you agree, or disagree? Tell me below 👇🏽!!!

Hubs and I are doing this thing before we go to bed where we lost everything and everyone we’re grateful for .. so we never rest our heads without resting it thinking of everything God has given us this far.

And many of you who have been following me for a while know how much this season has been both a hard one for me in expanding our family but also .. a beautiful one with expanding it with Ghost and Millie! Our fur companions ♥️

Thank you for always photographing me and everyone I love, in the most beautiful of ways!!!! 💛

Anyways, a reflection post about family, being WHOEVER earned the spot in your heart that you feel is worthy of your life.

I get goosebumps when I think about this. I think much of it comes from the awkwardness .. of the part of you that gets confused with how .. someone can still choose friendship with someone who has hurt you, and at the same time .. had nothing to do with what happened and recognizing… we only have control over our own selves not anyone else.

I’ve been thinking so much about this.

In adult friendships specifically. Where it’s so different. Friendship breakups here don’t always have to be this loud event.. it can just be disagreements, changes in values/ideas .. etc? Anyways, I can go on for DAYS, and I’m probably not even making sense anymore!

But, pleaseeee let me know what your thoughts are to this post?

This Ramadan, oh my, it’s all about compassion♥️.

I’ve spent soooo many Ramadan’s being tough on myself and tough in a way that only made me forget how to enjoy and love this month just as it was meant to be loved.

And so I’m arriving in Ramadan🌙 this time, with an open heart, welcoming God in my heart, in a way that’s loving, and mind to myself.

Ramadan Mubarak family, so grateful for all of you, thank you for being here with me, and being apart of this community of mine. ♥️

Also? I’ll be dropping a newsletter on infertility this week, make sure to subscribe !!!!!!! Link in bio!

This topic is one I’ll be speaking to a lot more mainly because .. it’s so close to home for me. 💛

I have always used this space speaking about whatever I’m going through, and finding ways that it can be of benefit and educational.

I struggle with talking about this .. but I know how important it is for our community especially when this is something NO ONE talks about unless we’re talking about the other side of it which is, successful pregnancies.

I’ll be writing about this more in the newsletter .. subscribe via link in bio ♥️

You don’t have to be a therapist to realize .. that at some point in your life, when you do ANY reflection work..you’ll come to this place wondering: and how did anyone have the audacity to say that to me, whether as a child or as an adult, how?

I have these moments even more in therapy, because .. clients will sit with me and share things that should never have been said and because they were .. we’re here today working on healing from it, when the actual wrong doers .. are doing exactly that? More wrongs! How!!! Ugh, anyways if you like my rants, consider my newsletter, subscribe via link in bio!

BEFORE GOING BACK TO YOUR EX BEST FRIEND READ THIS ❗️One of the topics that always come up in therapy work with clients I’ve been working with for a long time is .. they’ll ask me:

“Sarah, I miss my friend and.. I know we worked together on healing from that friendship breakup, but do you suggest, I rekindle.. I miss them, etc’

And immediately, these are the questions I’ll ask, and it’s almost always .. ‘yeah, I shouldn’t, who I am today, and the work I’ve done .. that friendship would not be conducive for sure’

THISSSS, such a human feeling. To … want connection, familiar connections, connections with people who .. we had good moments with, etc, but then .. we have to ask ourselves is nostalgia worth.. self neglect and self betrayal?
