You don’t have to shrink your words or soften your needs.
Your voice was never meant to disappear.
It was meant to rise, to move, to carry you forward.

✨ From One Therapist to Another ✨

This series is a reminder that doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing, and discomfort doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong field. Being a therapist is beautiful, messy, and deeply human. These posts are here to normalize the inner experiences we don’t always talk about, and to help you feel a little less alone in the work.

I offer case consultations for fellow therapists who want a thoughtful, grounding space to reflect on clinical work, attachment themes, and the parts of us that show up in the room.

Reach out if you’re interested.

A history of trauma doesn’t just stay in the past - it can echo into the present in many ways.

Research shows trauma is correlated with challenges across mental health, physical health, and relationships.

That can look like mood symptoms (depression, anxiety), coping struggles (addictions, eating issues), relational difficulties (trust, boundaries, attachment), and even body-based responses (chronic stress, pain, health concerns).

If you see yourself in these patterns, you’re not “broken.” These are understandable responses to overwhelming experiences. With support, healing and change are possible - you deserve that. 💙

Many people use sympathy, empathy, and compassion interchangeably, but they’re not the same.

✨ Sympathy notices from the outside
✨ Empathy feels with you on the inside
✨ Compassion connects with care and takes action

Each can show up in different ways and moments. But if empathy ever feels heavy, compassion can offer balance - connection without overwhelm.

✨ Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about growing with you.

In our work, we’re not trying to erase your past or force you into someone else’s mold. We’re tending to the places that feel heavy, making room for compassion, and gently inviting you back to yourself.

Because therapy is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about remembering who you are, softening what hurts, and creating space for the life you want.

When life pulls you in a million directions, it’s easy to lose touch with your own center. 🌿

These gentle reminders aren’t about fixing or doing more - they’re about small ways to reconnect with yourself when you feel scattered, overwhelmed, or unsure.

It’s okay to pause. Rest isn’t something you earn - it’s something you deserve.

I’ll be taking my own advice and stepping away for a bit. I’ll be on break August 29 - September 5, and back the following week. See you soon! 💖

Myth vs Reality: Perfectionism Edition

Perfectionism promises safety, success, and belonging - but it rarely delivers.

Instead, it often leaves us anxious, exhausted, and feeling like we’ll never measure up. The truth is, you don’t need perfection to be worthy, loved, or capable.

What if you allowed yourself to step out of the perfectionist cycle, even just a little, and chose authenticity, rest, or joy instead?

Remember: You don’t have to be perfect to be enough.
