The year hasn’t fully begun asking things of you yet.

This is your chance to give your nervous system support first.

My 6-week Less Stress & Better Sleep iRest® Meditation Series begins tomorrow (Monday, Jan 5), and New Year Registration Credit closes tonight.

This isn’t about resolutions or self-improvement.

It’s about easing out of fight-or-flight so rest, sleep, and clarity can happen more naturally.

If you’re a therapist, healthcare provider, or someone who tends to be the steady one for others, this series was created with you in mind.

And if you’re feeling worn down, not sleeping well, or stuck in an anxiety–exhaustion loop, you’re equally welcome here.

✨ New Year Registration Credit:
Register by tonight and the total is $100 ($20 credit applied).

🗓 Mondays | 6:00–7:15 PM CST
📅 Jan 5 – Feb 9
💻 Live, virtual (join from anywhere)

Many participants notice quieter nights and a calmer baseline after the first session. Not perfection, just more room to breathe.

If you’ve been quietly considering it, this is your moment to decide. 💛

Before the year asks more of you.

If stress, restless nights, or ongoing nervous system fatigue have been quietly present, this is a clear invitation to begin the year with steadier support.

The Less Stress & Better Sleep iRest® Meditation Series begins Monday. This 6-week, evidence-informed practice is designed to help the nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and into conditions where rest and sleep can occur more naturally.

This is not about resolutions or becoming a “better version” of yourself.

It’s about practicing rest, consistently, with guidance.

Participants often notice quieter nights, fewer anxiety spirals, and a calmer baseline during the day. Not perfection. Just more space to breathe.

A small New Year registration credit is available through Sunday evening.

🗓 Mondays | Jan 5–Feb 9 | 6-715PM
💻 Live, virtual
🧠 Educational wellness series

Since this is not psychotherapy, folks are welcome to join from outside Louisiana.

This is the final reminder before the group closes.

Would love to start the new year with you!

When you’re face-to-face with disturbing or traumatic experiences on the job, you can’t fall apart. You just Keep Going. You draw hard lines inside yourself so you can do what has to be done.

But we all have those patients who stay with us… whose stories come back, uninvited, when we’re trying to sleep or be present with the people we love.

As a licensed mental health clinician who specializes in working with emergency and medical professionals dealing with intrusive or harassing trauma memories I've seen how often providers like you are expected to carry on alone.

I’m working on a series of articles — maybe even a book — about what it’s really like to be a healthcare provider continuing to serve despite the emotional cost of this work.

🩺 If you’ve had a traumatic experience on the job, found a way to keep functioning, and still carry that one patient you can’t forget — I’d be honored to hear your story.

❗️You don’t have to share details of the memory itself to participate.

By sharing your perspective, you're helping reduce stigma, support your peers, and contribute to change in a system that often overlooks the mental health of its own.

When a small moment pushes you over the edge — it's not about the dog food.

If you’ve ever snapped at someone you love after a long day… you’re not alone. It’s what happens when emotional exhaustion, high-pressure work, and constant caregiving collide.

In this new blog post, we unpack what it means to spiral emotionally and how to use grounding techniques to stop it in real time.

Learn how to:
– Recognize when you’re spiraling
– Decode your body’s early warning signals
– Use grounding tools to reset your nervous system
– Return to the conversation with clarity, not regret

If you’re tired of holding it all together while falling apart on the inside, this post is for you.

Emotionally overwhelmed? Stop the spiral with grounding techniques that reset your nervous system, so you respond with clarity.

Burnout in healthcare isn’t just a buzzword—it’s something real people are living every day.

In my therapy practice, I work with healthcare professionals who seem like they have it all together on the outside, but are quietly carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion underneath.

I’m starting a project to better understand the personal stories about mental health in medicine that often get lost in the broad conversations about “burnout.”

I’m currently looking to speak with Prescribers (MDs, NPs...) who work in clinical settings and have either sought out or seriously considered mental health support.

🗣️ These one-on-one conversations are confidential, held via phone or virtual meeting, and take 20–60 minutes. Many who’ve participated in the past said it was unexpectedly meaningful—and even healing.

If you’re open to sharing your story, or know someone who might be, I’d truly love to connect.
