Relaxation isn’t a switch—it’s a skill the nervous system learns over time. Ten years in, still practicing. 😮‍💨🧘🏻‍♀️

Laughter is one of the simplest ways humans connect.
It signals safety, regulates the nervous system, and reminds us we’re not alone.
Clinical insight: laughing together is serious healing.

Being proud of yourself isn’t ego.
It’s acknowledging how hard this has been—and that you’re still here.

I’m excited to share that I’m now a Certified S*x Therapy–Informed Professional ✨
Talking about s*x is a healthy and important part of therapy. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable and supported as possible.
When we normalize conversations around s*xual dysfunction, desire, boundaries, and differences, they lose their power to feel sticky or shameful. Silence doesn’t help—talking does. Let’s talk about it. 💬

Healthy relationships aren’t about avoiding conflict—they’re about how you show up during it.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps couples build emotional flexibility, communicate with intention, and take values-based action—even when things feel hard.
Connection grows when partners learn to stay present, curious, and committed.

Black & White to Emphasize Despair 🖤😮‍💨😆

In this slower season, I’m embracing some flexibility (yes, really — even me 😅) and opening up a few spots for individual adult clients through insurance after 6 years as a private pay practitioner. I’ll be accepting Aetna, Cigna, and Community Health Options.

While I still plan to return primarily to out-of-pocket care, this shift allows me to meet folks where they are during this transitional time. Just a note: I’ll only be seeing individual adults under these plans — not couples.
Here’s to growth, adaptability, and making care a little more accessible. Patting myself on the back for this one! 💪✨
