This is what happens when you ghost your therapist, dodge your meds, and mistake executive dysfunction for executive power—then scream your feelings into the void we call the internet.

We’re looking at Axis I chaos, Axis II flair, and a full-blown break from reality.

Someone order this man a mood stabilizer, a 72-hour hold, and a psych eval with a forensic consult—stat.

And please—give him a juice box and a diaper change before he tries to gaslight gravity. 🧠💊🧓🏽📉

If we find ourselves more outraged by broken windows than broken bodies, we need to reassess our values.

What’s happening across Los Angeles and the country is not just a moment—it’s a movement. Peaceful protestors are being met with militarized violence for demanding dignity, safety, and justice. If that doesn’t shake you, it should.

As therapists, we don’t get to opt out. Our ethical code calls us to advocate for liberation, to name systemic violence, and to stand against oppression—not just in the therapy room, but in our communities too. Silence is complicity.

Property can be replaced. Human lives cannot.

✨Feeling honored✨

I had the opportunity to share a bit of my story with Voyage Austin—from navigating identity and grief to the work I do today in therapy and healing. It’s always a little vulnerable to put pieces of yourself out there, but I’m proud of the journey, the lessons, and the love that shape my work.

Thank you to Voyage Austin for creating space for local voices.

When two powerhouse therapists get together, things heat up—literally and figuratively! Had the absolute joy of joining my brilliant bestie, Dr. Han Ren, for a sizzling conversation on reclaiming menopause, breaking taboos, and turning ‘the change’ into a powerful liberation. Who says hot flashes can’t come with a side of fierce joy and radical wisdom?

Becoming a mother cracked me open in ways I never expected. It deepened my empathy, sharpened my compassion, and made me a more grounded therapist and human. Motherhood taught me to hold complexity—the joy and the exhaustion, the love and the overwhelm, the grief and the gratitude—all at once.

Mothering is not confined to biology. It is a radical, revolutionary act of care that manifests in how we love, fight for justice, and build community.

Today, I honor all forms of mothering and hold close those who are grieving—those missing their mothers, those who never had the kind of mother they deserved, and those navigating the ache of wanting to be a mother.

I am especially grieving with the mothers in Gaza, enduring unimaginable loss as their children—and their own lives—are taken by gen**ide. Their suffering is a searing reminder of the urgent need for justice and peace.

Happy Mother’s Day, in all its messy, complicated, beautiful truth.

Just a loving reminder. 🩵

Joy and rest can feel impossible when the world feels heavy with injustice.
But they are not indulgences—they are our fuel and our breath.

Joy and rest are acts of defiance.
A system built on oppression wants us exhausted and broken.
When we deny ourselves joy and rest, we do their work for them.

Joy is not ignorance or escape.
It’s resistance.
Laughter, connection, music, creation, love—all remind us of what’s possible.

Rest is revolutionary.
Rest is reclaiming your body from systems that want to use you up.
You deserve to exist beyond struggle.

Liberation isn’t just about what we fight against—it’s what we fight for.
A free world must include joy and rest, or we risk burning out before we win.

Let joy in. Let rest hold you.
Both are part of the resistance.
You are not abandoning the fight—you’re making sure you have the strength to keep going.

Save this for when you need a reminder. 🩵

I was just talking to a friend about how Hallmark really missed the mark on cards like: “Sorry I cut off your toxic ass to protect my peace and my kid.”

So... I made some. Obviously. 🫶🏽

Because the holidays hit different when you’re healing, holding boundaries, and not gaslighting yourself just to keep the group chat quiet.

Swipe through for the cards I wish existed—and now they do.

✨ For the cycle-breakers.
✨ For the ones who chose peace over performance.
✨ For those of us who know that sometimes love looks like “absolutely not.”

Tag your boundary-holding bestie.

Print ‘em. Post ‘em. Frame ‘em.

✨BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND✨

The March 7th training “Is Therapy Political?” was so powerful and energizing, I had to bring it back! 💥 Join me April 25th for another round of this transformative experience.

We’re often told as therapists to “leave politics out of the room” — but when our clients are navigating systems that impact their safety, identity, and access to care… how could therapy not be political?

This live, virtual training dives into what it means to practice in ways that are ethical, relational, and liberatory. We’ll explore how systems of oppression show up in the therapy room and how we can stay rooted in advocacy, embodiment, and justice-driven care.

🔹 Ideal for therapists, supervisors, social workers, and mental health professionals ready to deepen their lens and lead with purpose.

📅 Date: April 25, 2025
🕒 Time: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM CST
📍 Location: Zoom
🎓 Earn 6 CEUs – Ethics, Supervisor, or General

LINK IN BIO TO REGISTER

As therapists, we are constantly navigating the intersection of therapy, politics, and advocacy—whether in our work with clients or in supervision spaces. Our ethical responsibility calls us to engage with these issues, yet many of us were never formally trained on how to do so.

In this engaging and thought-provoking workshop, you’ll:
✅ Examine ethical codes related to advocacy and social justice
✅ Develop strategies for systemic advocacy
✅ Enhance skills for addressing political and social issues in therapy
✅ Create a personal advocacy plan

📅 Date: March 7, 2025 | 🕒 Time: 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM CST
💻 Location: Virtual | 🎓 CEUs: 6 Ethics CEUs (LPC, LMFT, SW – Meets 50% Rule)

Trans lives are on the line. Trans people have always existed—resilient, vibrant, and integral to our collective history and future. Trans liberation is liberation for all.

The rigid two-gender ideology is a white supremacist colonial construct, erasing the diversity of gender identities that have been celebrated across cultures for centuries. This same oppressive system also fuels misogyny, policing women’s bodies, identities, and roles in society.

Trans liberation and women’s liberation are interconnected. When we dismantle the systems that enforce strict gender norms and binaries, we create a freer world for everyone. Fighting for trans rights uplifts all women, all nonbinary people, and all marginalized genders.

Therapy is Political.

What’s happening across the U.S. profoundly affects individuals’ sense of security, identity, and safety. Laws, policies, and systemic inequalities don’t exist in a vacuum—they directly shape the lived experiences, barriers, and struggles of the people who walk into our therapy rooms every day.

As therapists, our ethics call us not only to support our clients individually but also to fight for systemic change. The barriers our clients face—whether rooted in racism, s*xism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of oppression—don’t just marginalize them; they deeply impact their mental health and well-being.

Avoiding “politics” in the therapy room risks invalidating your clients’ lived experiences. This isn’t about taking sides; it’s about holding space for the realities they face and working to dismantle the systems that perpetuate harm.

Therapy is not just personal; it’s political. Let’s honor our ethical responsibility to stand with our clients and fight for a world where mental health isn’t determined by systemic oppression. 💛
