I am a psychotherapist dedicated to helping people build secure connections.

You’re allowed to set boundaries — even if they disappoint people.

For those of us who grew up walking on eggshells or caretaking others’ emotions, setting a boundary can feel terrifying.

It can bring up guilt. Shame. Panic. The fear of being “too much” or abandoned.

But here’s what’s true:
💬 Boundaries aren’t punishments.
💬 They’re clarity.
💬 They’re an act of self-trust.
💬 And they’re essential for safe, healthy connection.

In therapy, we explore how to build boundaries with compassion — both for yourself and for others.

We untangle the old stories that say “you’re selfish,” “you’re overreacting,” or “you don’t deserve to say no.”
And we replace them with something more true.

If this is the kind of work you're longing to do, I'm here to support you.

Survival mode helped you make it through.
But it wasn’t built for a lifetime.

If you were taught (explicitly or implicitly) that your needs were too much, your emotions were unsafe, or love was conditional—you likely learned to disconnect from your own body and self.

And that makes connection with others really hard.

In therapy, part of the healing process is learning to recognize when you're stuck in survival mode — and gently guiding yourself toward safety.

That might look like:
💛 Naming your needs out loud, even when it feels scary
💛 Noticing when your body tenses and asking what it’s trying to say
💛 Letting yourself be seen, even just a little, in relationships that feel safe

It’s slow work. Brave work. But every small moment of connection with yourself is a win.

If you're learning how to live beyond survival, you're not alone. I'm here when you're ready.

Not every disagreement needs to turn into a blowout. Self-regulation is a key part of emotional safety in relationships.

And no—it’s not about bottling things up. It’s about honoring your nervous system before it floods your words.

Save this for next time you need a reset mid-conflict.

Let’s reframe this viral phrase.
“If they wanted to, they would” can be true—but it oversimplifies the complexity of attachment styles, trauma responses, emotional availability, and conflict avoidance.

Sometimes people want to show up but haven’t yet developed the tools to do so.
That doesn’t mean you should wait around—but it might help explain why they aren’t showing up the way you need.

Healthy love = clarity, communication, and capacity.

The mental load isn’t just about who does what—it’s about who thinks about what. And it can create a quiet, growing resentment in relationships when left unspoken.

✨ Use this post as a starting point for conversation with your partner.

✨Weekend Well Spent✨. I spend the weekend at the Colorado Integrative Medicine Conference- and the best part? I got to attend with my favorite daughter!! We learned a lot about how chronic disease, autoimmune disorders, and mental health can all be positively impacted by nutrition and lifestyle choices. It’s incredible (and hopeful) to see how integrative medicine is helping people heal from the inside out! We stayed at the YMCA in Estes Park- it was stunning! Surrounded by mountains and fresh air and wildlife 💜.

There’s a grief that doesn’t always get named. It’s the grief of what never was.

No obituary for the stable childhood that got washed away. No funeral for the life you dreamed of sharing with your little one.

This ache is real. It lives in the body—in the lump in your throat when you see other families whole, in the sting of envy when you hear laughter that feels out of reach.

Grief is sacred work. It’s not about blame—it’s about honoring the parts of you that deserved more, and creating space to tend to those needs now.

This grief is not linear. It will come in waves—unexpected moments, milestones, reminders. Some days it will knock the wind out of you. Other days it may sit beside you like an old friend.

Each time you let it move through, you are making room for something new—love, hope, and the gentle possibility of healing. 💛

Grief, in times like these, is not neat or tidy. It isn’t always sadness or closure. Sometimes it’s numbness. Sometimes it’s rage. Sometimes it’s even disgust.

And even then—especially then—grief is sacred.

For those grieving the loss of a child, or the life you thought you’d have, or the sense of safety that washed away in the floods—your grief deserves to be honored, in whatever form it shows up. You don’t have to make sense of it right now. Just breathe.

When children experience even a glimpse of consistency, their nervous systems begin to settle. We learn the world can be predictable, people can be trusted, and it’s safe to be ourselves.

But when that stability is suddenly swept away—like so many families are experiencing right now—it leaves a deeper imprint: fear, confusion, and grief.

If you’re finding it hard to trust that good things can last, or that it’s safe to rely on anyone, please know you’re not alone. Be gentle with yourself. This is tender, sacred work. 🤍

Not going to the party? Skipping the group trip? Saying no to “just one more thing”?

That doesn’t mean you’re antisocial or missing out.
It might just mean you’re finally listening to yourself.

Boundaries in the summer can feel harder—there’s this pressure to say yes, to soak it all in, to be everywhere.

But here’s your reminder:
✨ Saying no to what drains you is saying yes to what sustains you.

What’s one thing you’re giving yourself permission not to do this season?

Do you feel clingy in relationships—or just deeply afraid of being left?
If you constantly second-guess your texts, feel panicked when they pull away, or worry you're "too much"... this might be anxious attachment at play.

You’re not broken.
You’re not needy.
You’re responding to old wounds with new hopes.

Anxious attachment can make relationships feel like emotional rollercoasters—but the good news? It’s possible to feel secure, connected, and calm in love. 💛
