OCD can feel like quicksand — the more you struggle against it with compulsions, the deeper you sink.

Here’s how to find solid ground:

Pause: Notice the urge to do a compulsion without rushing to act.

Loosen: Instead of struggling, take a breath and allow the feeling to be there.

Step Out: Gently redirect your attention to something that matters to you.

Remember, fighting the quicksand makes it worse — but letting go and moving gently helps you climb out.

🌿 Introducing Mindfulness for Mamas 🌿
As professionals and compassionate individuals, we all know mothers who are navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood — identity shifts, stress, anxiety, postpartum emotions, and more.
✨ That’s why I have created Mindfulness for Mamas, a supportive group for mothers looking to connect, recharge, and care for their emotional well-being.
Led by me — a mom and psychologist with 15+ years of experience in Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — this 6-week online group offers education, connection, and tools for growth. Please note: this is not therapy.
In our time together, moms will:
💬 Share openly in a judgment-free space
🧘‍♀️ Learn mindfulness strategies to manage stress
❤️ Build self-compassion and emotional resilience
⚖️ Explore balance, boundaries & identity
🤝 Connect with others who get it
🗓️ Thursdays @ 10:00–10:50am PST Starting October 2nd
💻 Online
💵 $300 for 6 sessions
