Your reminder to breathe. Whatever you are facing today may need a bit more oxygen in your lungs to help slow your heart and clear your mind.

I hope you heal after hurt, dear one.
With whatever healing means for your situation, I hope you receive it.
I hope you feel the comfort of the sun after you experience a burn.
I hope you become familiar with honesty after betrayal.
I hope you believe in intimacy after despair.
I hope you regain a sense of identity after loss.
I hope you believe in hope after things feel distorted.

There will be many times where HEALING after HURT feels like a question more than a statement. But we should all seek healing ANYTIME we experience hurt.

The journey and path to healing in your marriage may look different than someone else, but the goal for HEALING after HURT should be universal.

We all need to HEAL.
Thank you to the many voices out there reminding people to find HEALING after HURT.

Kindness is a self-care strategy needed in any healing journey. Whether someone is healing from past trauma or present relationship pain - kindness is a tool that is underestimated with the power it brings.

-> An inner voice of Kindness helps the body to get regulated.
-> An inner voice of Kindness gives the body and mind a moment of feeling seen and comforted in the middle of a mental mess.

On any path of healing, I’m convinced that the presence of Kindness has to be part of your story. It becomes a crucial place in therapy where we slow down in our sessions and look for the block that prevents someone from being able to connect with themselves in a way that is soft, compassionate, and kind.

Kindness is needed on any mental health healing journey, but it becomes a stuck point for many. What are your thoughts, what are some of the blocks that prevent people from extending kindness towards themselves?

No one wants to feel alone in their pain. 💔

I asked some of the current retreat participants to share why they registered for this upcoming beach trip. More than anything, I can sense that each one of them is looking for connection in a place of their life that has been filled with isolation.

Together we will:
➡️ learn techniques to calm your mind
➡️ enjoy the tranquility of our beautiful beach surrounding
➡️ engage in group discussions designed to promote personal growth and connection with other women
➡️ enjoy delicious meals together that nourish your body and soul

Dates: October 24-27

Swipe right for the North Carolina Beach Retreat Itinerary - 2 months away from the ‘Are We There Yet!?!’ Healing Retreat this October. 7 workshops over 3 days that will provide the same content and discussions you would receive from 2 months of therapy. It’s not too late to join us, we have a beautiful private bedroom that will give you the rest that’s been long overdue.

I’ve spent over a decade helping individuals and couples heal after hurt in a therapy room and noticed that healing needs community and connection just as much as it needs individual support. This time together at the beach will provide just that.

Share your story with women who understand your tender heart and who know all the obstacles that make it hard to heal after hurt enters the home. Gain hope as you heal ❤️

HELP! For the seasons when your mind feels like a jumbled mess, a therapist can help you organize the chaos in your mind. 🧠

One of the best parts of what I see in clients is the deep breadth they take somewhere in the session. When the heavy burdens they have been carrying get lighter and become more clear.

You don’t have to declutter your mind alone. Reach out to schedule an initial session to unwind the hurts and hardships that have been living rent-free in your mind for far too long.

Quick facts about scheduling therapy sessions with me:
➡️ Client-led scheduling so you choose a frequency for sessions that fits your budget and availability
➡️ Online scheduling system that gives you the freedom to book your sessions
➡️ Online system allows you to take notes and journal in between therapy sessions
➡️ Pay for each session as you go
➡️ First session will set up assessment and goals for therapy

Now accepting new clients for Fall 🍁

Don’t travel the windy road to healing alone. 📣

There will be good days and there will be bad ones. There will be twists and triggers right after you thought things were getting better. ❤️‍🩹

If you are screaming “Are We There Yet?” on your healing journey, you are not alone.

The windy road doesn’t mean you are healing wrong, it just means you are healing. You are healing the layers of hurt as each one tenderly shows up.

If you are searching for a Therapist, 🙋🏻‍♀️ I would love to connect with you on your road to healing after hurt. Five years ago I wrote a book called, Through the Storm ⛈️ that has brought hurting couples and individuals through my counseling door 🚪.

For women that are looking for a getaway while they heal, ask me about our upcoming retreat in October. Sometimes you need a break from weekly sessions and need a few days to just breathe, connect with other women who understand, while also getting group therapy with views of the ocean. ❤️☀️⛱️

Mindset matters! In a therapy room, we uncover the belief systems you carry around about yourself. Belief systems that either encourage you with every step you take or tear down your ability to see a hopeful reality. The scripts you carry can enter your mind through past experience or family inheritance. However they show up, it’s meaningful for you to take stock of the mindset inventory you carry. Time to prune the weeds of thoughts that don’t align with your values. ❤️

The scripts in this image show some of the belief systems from tender hearts that I have been working with this past month. It’s empowering to watch every client make this shift from what I call a Survival Script into a Freedom Script.

I’d love to journey with you as you sort through your Survival scripts and walk into a year where you walk with the strength that is already within you.

If you’re in the NC area looking for a mental health therapist, I just opened my Fall calendar and am accepting new clients for the month of August and September. Reach out today! 🙌

⛈️ 2024 marks 5 years since the launch of this book helping couples find hope and healing after hurt is discovered in their relationship. This book has served as hope for people navigating some of the darkest days.

☔️ It outlines 7 Steps that I see hurting couples go through and highlights the individual growth that happens when a person cleanses, heals, and rebuilds after a storm of betrayal shakes the foundation of their home 🏠.

❤️‍🩹 This book includes scripture to remind us all that we are a child of God no matter the storms we face or paths we have walked down.

❤️ At this time five years ago, I was a blend of hopeful and anxious to put this book out into the world. Today, I am grateful that I battled those nerves and have connected with many beautiful souls that have been touched by these pages.

Insecurity reminds me of an empty suitcase we can carry around with us throughout the day. We load it up with whatever mood, attitude, or energy is offered for free and come home at the end of the day with a caseload of garbage we never needed in the first place.

Make sure any bags you are carrying are filled before you leave the house because when you feel secure with who you are you don’t look for what’s around you to tell you how to feel.

Creating something that I truly can’t wait to fully share with you one day. The excitement of sharing it with you in its completed form motivates me to keep pressing forward believing that these words will sit beside people that are in desperate need of the comfort.

About Emily

So many things are happening! Here’s the cliff notes: As a COUNSELOR, I love helping people make sense of their surroundings and find healing on some of their deepest hurts. As a WRITER, it is my own therapy to find words that connect to your feelings. As a FRIEND, I am evolving in supporting and loving those around me. But, it is through my identity as a DAUGHTER of Christ that everything begins to make sense. Won’t you join us? (PS...check out my new book Through the Storm: Helping Marriages Find Healing After Hurt)
