Feels like a good day to re-introduce my coworker….

Meet my co-therapist, Toby 🐾

He specializes in naps, head boops, and helping people feel a little more at ease. There’s something powerful about the calm, nonjudgmental presence of an animal and Toby brings that into the therapy space every day.

As many of you know, some days he also brings the chaos and laughter. I think both can be equally as important.

On the tough days, some clients even say he’s the reason they keep showing up. He definitely has a loyal fan club. 🫶

This weekend, I was surrounded by powerful, heart-led women at the Sister Circle Summit and the Women's Fund of Greater La Crosse, Inc. Spring Fling! 💗

As I melt into the couch to refill my social battery and snuggle my fur babies, I began thinking about how important connection truly is for fostering women’s positive self image and mental health.

We talk a lot about healing, growth, and doing “the work”… but we don’t talk enough about how much of that happens in connection with others.

Sisterhood isn’t just a nice idea; it’s the space where walls come down. Where stories are shared out loud instead of carried alone. Where we’re reminded that we’re not the only ones navigating hard things.

A couple of months ago, I told my own therapist, “Connection is what I crave, but it’s also what absolutely terrifies me the most.” 🙃😅

I know I’m not alone in that.

So many women are holding that same tension, wanting to be seen, understood, and supported… while also feeling afraid to fully let others in.

This is exactly why sisterhood matters.
Because healing doesn’t just happen within us, it happens between us.

In safe spaces, honest conversations, and the choice (again and again) to show up as we are.

THIS is the heart of women’s mental health. ✨
And I can’t wait to create & share more with you!

This weekend I attended the NAMI
Wisconsin Conference 💚🫂

Quickly, I was reminded that I was not only showing up as a mental health provider, but as a person with lived experiences.

The amount of connection I found as someone who has often felt so alone in her mental health left me in awe. The vulnerability I practiced (I’m usually the one preaching it) was at times uncomfortable… But I decided to show up as me, anyway. Not the provider, not the therapist, but me.

Showing up as yourself can be hard. We’re naturals at performing and perfecting and hiding behind social masks. But pretending gets exhausting and secrecy keeps us sick.

I’m grateful that owning my own practice allows me the opportunity to travel to meet others and share my experiences— because shame tries to tell us we’re alone, but connection proves to us that we’re not.✨

Extra special shout out to Jasmin the therapy dog, everyone who made a point to compliment my outfits, and Debbie @ Lombardi’s Steakhouse for treating me like the Queen she reminded me I am.

Yesterday I witnessed 7 women say “I choose me”. They explored what it really means to live authentically— outside of the roles and expectations that are often placed upon us. They reminded me that being human is hard enough, then we add on all the layered “shoulds”, & it’s no wonder we struggle to feel enough.

My cup overflowed from their vulnerability.

They found solace in one another. They sat in each other’s experiences. They created space to just ‘be’ unapologetically. One participant even said “I wish I could just stay here with you guys forever”.

What a gift it was to witness this.

I can’t wait to do it again✨

The Unbound Woman will be an ongoing series. Stay tuned for the next gathering this Spring!

Reminiscing over the whimsy of last weekends Get Your Pink Back event. I’m a firm believer in loving on your fellow ladies. I’m hopeful that more events like this will happen to remind women that we do in fact deserve the same love we so openly give to others.

Thank you to Grimzlow, etc & Destination Handmade for making this happen and including me in the process! You created the most beautiful, sacred space for us.

Happy Galentine’s Weekend! 💖🌷👯‍♀️

I’m grateful to share that I’ve completed a Women’s Mental Health Certificate, expanding my work with women experiencing PCOS, PMDD, menopause, perinatal loss, and the emotional and relational aspects of body image and sexuality.

Supporting women through these deeply personal experiences is so meaningful to me, and I’m honored to continue growing in this area of care. 💜
