Office morale just improved → ☕️

Another good option for a midway break in the midst of a Saturday EMDR intensive too 🤗

✨ A little late, but right on time ✨

We’re already a week into the new year — and maybe that’s fitting.

This season, I’m holding a quiet intention to slow down, continue taking breaks from social media, and live with more grace, presence, and healing.

In trauma therapy and crisis response, many things do require immediacy.
People need support.
Safety matters.
Timing matters.

And… not everything needs to be urgent.
Not everything needs to be instant.
Not everything needs to be shared in real time.

Starting the year a little later feels like permission —
to move intentionally instead of impulsively,
to choose pause over pressure,
and to remember that healing doesn’t run on a clock.

Peace doesn’t rush.
And rest is part of the work.

Here’s to a slower, more grounded year 🤍

The holidays are complicated.
Layers, reminders, and a whole lot of both/and.

And then there are moments like this — sweet notes from people who’ve graduated therapy and are living with more integration, steadiness, and self-trust in their lives.

Halfway through December.
Holding space for all of it. 🤍✨

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when we link arms. 💜 This Giving Tuesday, we’re continuing a tradition that has changed lives every single year since 2019:

✨ Two for Tuesday ✨
If Sanctuary Services has touched you or someone you love…
If you believe every person deserves access to trauma-informed care…
If you want healing to ripple through families and communities…

Here’s how to take part ⬇️
1️⃣ Make a donation of any amount to support trauma therapy scholarships
2️⃣ Invite two friends to join you

That’s it. Two minutes. Two invitations. Healing multiplies.

Every dollar today helps cover therapy for someone who is ready to heal but faces very real financial barriers — especially during the holidays, when trauma is often loudest.

To everyone who gives, shares, or holds space with us:
You are part of someone’s healing story. 💜
Thank you for linking arms with us.
