A common concern I hear is, “If I limit my news exposure, does that mean I don’t care?”

Caring and constant exposure are not the same. Your nervous system benefits from intentional, regulated access to information rather than continuous input or triggering social media posts. One simple shift is reading the news from a reputable, non-biased source, which is often less emotionally activating than visual media.

Empathy does not require emotional absorption. Healthy empathy is cognitive, compassionate, and boundaried. You can care deeply and still protect your nervous system.

P.S. Please see the image for a major AI fail 😂
Those kids? Not mine.
That dog? Love ’em, but never had a lab.
The three indoor plants? Bold to think I could keep them alive.

It got a few things right—but it doesn’t know me.

Therapy is relational—and that’s where the real healing happens.
AI can be a tool. Therapy happens in relationship.

There’s a slightly anxious, slightly excited feeling in the air right now. Weather shifts tend to do that — stirring anticipation, urgency, and nervous energy all at once.

And in the days ahead, noticing how your body and mind respond can help you move with a little more intention and grace.

Stay safe Memphis. ❄️

I didn’t have to say no, I chose to—and here’s why.

TBH, accessibility is important to me. That’s exactly why I choose to stay in-network with insurance. I believe people should be able to access therapy without unnecessary barriers.

However, accessibility cannot come at the expense of ethics, quality, or human connection.

Big-box therapy platforms promise convenience, yet too often therapy becomes a product rather than a relationship. Algorithms replace clinical nuance. Clinicians are underpaid and overworked. Care becomes standardized, rushed, and disconnected. High turnover disrupts continuity, and ethical gray areas emerge when growth targets outweigh clinical judgment.

As a licensed therapist, I know meaningful healing occurs within a strong therapeutic relationship—not within an assembly-line model. Quality care requires time, sound clinical judgment, consistency, and clinicians who are adequately supported.

Choosing no was about choosing alignment.
Alignment with my values.
Alignment with ethical care.
Alignment with the standard of therapy I believe clients deserve.

Not every opportunity warrants acceptance. Sometimes the most responsible decision is the one that upholds professional integrity, clinical standards, and long-term client care.
And I can’t tell you how affirming that felt.

The real superheroes of 2026 🦸‍♀️
