ATTENTION PRE-LICENSED THERAPISTS:

Studying for your licensing exam is one thing.
Feeling ready is a whole different story.

It’s not always about how much you’ve studied—
It’s about the fear, the pressure, the self-doubt…
…and how those parts hijack your clarity and confidence.

If you’re avoiding, spiraling, or just straight-up panicking when you think about the test—
I made this just for you. 🥰

👉 Download the free “Mindset Readiness Checklist” for pre-licensed therapists.
It’ll help you check in with what’s really going on inside—and give you one powerful tip to start shifting it now.

Workbooks to help with anxiety can be helpful: they offer information to help you understand anxiety, where it comes from, and strategies to use to reduce the symptoms.

But there is a difference between learning about anxiety and healing anxiety at the root.

Learn why workbooks alone are not enough if you want to truly heal anxiety at the root:

You probably know as well as I do: there are a million workbooks out there for every topic imaginable, including a ton for mental health struggles of all kinds. And since there is an increasing awareness of all of the different types of anxiety (hooray for awareness!) and the many ways it can plague

Burnout among "helpers & healers" is real and perhaps at an all-time high. In order to heal and prevent future burnout, it is important to address the REAL cause of it--and the answer isn't to take more bubble baths.

The real cause of burnout for health and healing professionals may surprise you, but there is help.

Whether someone is in a helping profession or just seems to be known as "the one everyone turns to for help", oftentimes they have never been taught how to pay attention to their OWN feelings, needs, and desires...
..and when that happens long enough, things like anxiety, self-doubt, relationship issues and grief eventually bubble to the surface.

"Getting through the day" feels like a permanent goal. Relationships can suffer. Finances become a constant source of stress.

They are so good at helping others, but struggle with asking for their own help, or have no idea how to actually allow others to help. They were taught to care for others, not pay attention to themselves.

It is why I am so passionate and keep finding more ways to help them get to the ROOT of the beliefs that are holding them back, so that they can learn how to shift not only how they feel, but what shows up in their lives.

Doubt becomes hope. Sadness becomes compassion. Fear becomes connection. Stagnation becomes inspiration. ❤

❓ Are you aware of how "little t trauma" has affected your beliefs about yourself...and how it trickles over into your beliefs about what is possible for your business?

I was so honored to be a part of this podcast, to share how my "little t trauma" from childhood impacted me, yet was escaping my awareness..even though I was a pretty darn good therapist!
This stuff can be so sneaky that we don't know it's there and can affect all aspects of our lives, including our therapy practice. In this podcast, I also shared how I learned how to start healing and shifting these beliefs so that I can thrive more in all areas of my life 😍

Ashley Clark Comegys's podcast "Raised to Empower" feels so in line with my work to empower therapists to heal their inner crap--not only because we deserve to feel happier and healthier in all ways, but also so that we can empower our clients as well!

I encourage you to give it a listen, and like and subscribe to the podcast (link in the comments) for more episodes to help you on your journey ❤️

New Year means restarting a health insurance deductible for a lot of people 😟, and this becomes a potentially relevant factor when you are choosing a therapist.
Someone asked me to reshare this, because so many people start looking for one right after the holiday stress 😧😡😭

As a therapist, when people that I know are struggling and looking for support, it makes sense that they reach out to me. But since I can't be the therapist for anyone I already know (we have specific guidelines that require us to keep professional boundaries), I am often asked "how do I find a therapist"? 🤔

More recently, I realized that many people don't know that there are different TYPES of therapists out there, that offer different ways to address issues! (It's not just what we see on t.v. shows and movies--don't get me started on all of the terrible depictions of therapy!)

There are so many factors that can go into a decision like this, and having THE RIGHT FIT is so important...HOW YOU FEEL WILL AFFECT EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE. ❤️‍🩹

So in order to help more people with this question, I created a cheat sheet to help guide people in exploring their options. I am sharing the link below with all of you, and I welcome you to share it with whoever you want.

(btw, I will also share my website as a reference, so you can see all of the information there...I'll warn you, I do like to write a lot, but also Google looks for specific info all over websites, so there is a lot of content here! Feel free to share that with people too!)

Whether you are someone who likes to make New Year's resolutions or you create goals for yourself all the time, I want to share with you a recent chat I had with an awesome colleague that can help you ACTUALLY ACHIEVE your goals...instead of becoming the cliché of "well, I started off strong and then I gave up". 😫

The key factor is setting up your goals in a way that feels deep-down authentic (so that you keep the action moving in the right direction) and NOT met with sneaky internal resistance--but many people don't catch that this is happening! 😳

In this podcast/video, I am sharing my "7 Steps to Energetically Aligning with Your Goals" to help you write your goals in a way that will line up your energy to SUPPORT you instead of sabotaging you a few weeks from now--and then how you can find the proof that it is working! 🔥

Check out our chat here (and even check out all of her other episodes): https://youtu.be/FehUGF_WsdU?si=2JeiNbiMJoh_6whS
