Lately, I’ve been feeling called to connect more deeply with the therapists in my work. The ones who hold so much, who keep showing up with open hearts, even when their own bodies whisper that it’s a lot.

If that’s you, I have a few mid-afternoon openings on Tuesdays + Wednesdays — a space to land between sessions, to let your system breathe, and to come back home to yourself.

Somatic therapy for therapists in Arizona + Virginia. 
Availability is limited, but if this speaks to you, you can check the link in my bio to schedule a consult.

🕊️ Let’s make space for your nervous system to exhale again.

Even the Renaissance began with sketches and revisions. Let your mistakes be drafts of your becoming.

We’re so quick to judge the parts of ourselves that were still learning, but healing asks for patience. The goal was never to be flawless—it’s to be honest. To be curious about what each mistake was trying to teach you instead of using it as proof that you failed.

You’re allowed to evolve in public. You’re allowed to rewrite your story without shame.

We talk a lot about healing as if it’s a destination — as if once we find the right tool, the right therapist, the right words, we’ll finally feel safe inside.
But the truth is: your system isn’t waiting for perfection.
It’s waiting for your presence.
In both IFS and somatic work, we don’t “fix” parts or force the body to calm down.
We return to the places inside us that were never truly met.
The ones that froze. The ones that protected. The ones that waited for someone to come back and say:
I see you. I’m not leaving.
This is the healing no one talks about — the healing that doesn’t look like progress from the outside, but feels like reunion on the inside.
Less control. More contact.
Less strategy. More witnessing.
Not because pain disappears when we pay attention… but because it stops having to yell to be heard.
—
Let your body feel you with it today. That’s enough.

Avoidance isn’t failure, it’s communication.
It’s your nervous system whispering, “I’m overwhelmed, can we slow down?”
You don’t have to push through every pause or label it resistance. Sometimes it’s your body asking for regulation before re-engagement.
Take the pause. Breathe. Step back enough to reset, not disappear.
Healing doesn’t mean you never need space — it means you know how to return.

Ahhhhh this trend hit me harder than I expected wowowow 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Holding a version of my younger self felt like holding every version of me that fought to feel safe in her body. The little girl who learned to perform instead of feel. The teen who carried wisdom and worry at the same time. The woman who finally realized healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about coming home to the body that’s been with you through it all.

As a therapist, I witness this moment in others all the time. It is this quiet reunion between who we were and who we’ve become.

✨ Here’s to softening into the parts of us that never stopped trying — the ones who carried us through chaos, silence, and becoming. The ones who didn’t need fixing, just witnessing.

When I look at her, I don’t just see who I was. I feel the pulse of everything that’s still alive in me — the tenderness, the courage, the ache, the wonder. Healing isn’t about erasing her story. It’s about letting her take up space in this version of me too.

Cognitive dissonance is the inner tension we experience when our beliefs, values, or actions are out of alignment. While it’s often described as a mental conflict, the body is where it first and most honestly responds.

Somatically, cognitive dissonance can show up as a racing heart, shallow breath, clenched jaw, gut discomfort, or a vague sense of agitation or “wrongness” that we can’t quite name. It’s the nervous system signaling that something doesn’t add up — even before the conscious mind has caught up.

We often resolve this tension by unconsciously defending old beliefs, minimizing new information, or rationalizing behavior that no longer fits. These responses are adaptive strategies. It’s easier to dismiss, deflect, or double down than to sit in the discomfort of: “What if I’ve been wrong?”

In somatic therapy, we work with this tension gently. Rather than rushing to resolve it, we slow down. We track the body’s signals, regulate the nervous system, and stay in relationship with the discomfort. We ask: What part of me is being protected by this belief? What truth am I resisting and why?

The goal is not to shame ourselves for our defenses, but to build the capacity to hold contradiction without collapse. This is how we grow not just intellectually, but somatically and relationally.
This work is slow, courageous, and necessary — especially now.

This is associative learning: your body links sensations, emotions, and experiences together and stores them as patterns for future protection.

Here’s what that can look like:
→ You freeze during conflict because your nervous system learned early that speaking up leads to punishment.
→ You feel anxious when someone pulls away emotionally because distance used to mean abandonment.
→ You shut down when someone’s angry, not because you’re weak, but because your body still registers anger as danger.
→ You over-apologize, over-function, or people-please because staying small once kept you safe.

Even when your mind knows you’re safe, your body may not believe it yet.
But this is not permanent.
Your nervous system is plastic it can unlearn and rewire.

It’s not about saying the right thing—it’s about your body, words, and presence all lining up. Alignment matters because our nervous system is constantly scanning for safety and trust. When a therapist’s words, tone, and body are all in sync, the client can feel understood and regulated at a bodily level. Misalignment, even subtle, creates tension, confusion, or mistrust, no matter how “right” the words sound. Stop performing. Start being.

There’s profound power in living your truth.
It transforms connection from a risk into a refuge — where you’re not on stage performing, but simply belonging as your authentic self.
Healing begins in that space.

The binge–restrict cycle isn’t just about food.

High-achievers often restrict things like:
– rest
– alone time
– emotional expression
– pleasure
– asking for help
– slowing down

You power through the day, staying “in control” — until your system can’t hold it anymore.

Then comes the crash, the scroll, the coping.

This isn’t failure. It’s your body trying to regulate.

It might look like:
→ Saying no to rest all week, then sleeping 12+ hours on the weekend
→ Avoiding emotion until it spills out in uncontrollable tears or shutdown
→ Not asking for help, then spiraling about how no one is here for you in isolation
→ Depriving yourself of pleasure or connection, then reaching for quick fixes that hurt in the long run

This post explores what happens before the binge — and how to break the cycle with care, not control.

Attunement is not only noticing your needs—
it is believing they matter.

For many who grew up with neglect, this feels impossible at first. When no one consistently responded to your hunger, your sadness, your joy, or your fear, your nervous system learned to quiet the signals. To need less. To not need at all. Dissociation, numbness, over-functioning—these became brilliant survival strategies.

But here’s the thing: noticing your needs is only the first step. Healing asks more. It asks you to trust that your needs are worthy of response, even if no one taught you that before. It asks you to slowly practice meeting yourself with care, so your body learns that what rises inside of you is not too much—it matters.

Attunement is radical because it interrupts the legacy of neglect. It is the daily act of saying: I am worth tending to.

If this resonates, I’d love to support you in learning how to move from noticing to believing, from silence to response. Reach out through my website [link in bio].
