To my lovely white friends -

When you are raging about Marcellus Williams (as you should) be aware of the impact you are having. Pay attention to the notion of centering yourself and your whiteness in these moments, and listen more than you speak.

Rest in power, Marcellus. Peace be unto you.

Hey everyone! I've written a new blog post! It's about normalizing money stress, the impacts of financial trauma and poverty, and the benefits of discussing these issues with your therapist.

A slow Friday morning blessing:
Thank the Mother Earth that it’s Friday.
Thank you for showing up, again.
Thank you for the ways you listen and hold space, even when you don’t have much room.
May you finally have the energy this weekend to organize that closet, but not today.
May you have a good strong cup of coffee around your 10:30a slump.
May you have coworkers who make you laugh
May the people you care for make you laugh, especially those who carry so much emotional and physical burden.
May you have clarity in your relationships.
May you have lovers who don’t play games, and make you feel safe and secure.
May you have the boring type of love that doesn’t make you second guess your worth.
And may you be a person who sends love and safety to others in relationships.
May you honor your personal values in decisions as well as relationships.
May you know your values, and if you don’t, may you do the good hard work to find them.
May you know love, be love, and feel love.

You are goodness personified, and may that provide some relief from internal criticism.
Xoxo

When clients graduate, therapists celebrate.

These plants were bought in celebration of one of the amazing humans I got to work with, and their graduation from therapy.

Another bedtime blessing:
May your car windows be rolled all the way up, to keep out the bugs and the rain
May you remember to make sure your alarm is set
May you wake up 5 min before your alarm feeling totally refreshed
May your book before bed be interesting enough to read, but not scary enough for night mares
May your book before bed be a kindle or paper, because sleep hygiene is unfortunately a thing
May your dreams be boring enough for rest, but not so boring you dream about work
May you snuggle in with a warm something that loves you, be it a human or a pet
May you wake to find the world is still here waiting for you
May you know you are loved valued and seen just as you are,
May you know life isn't the mom's spaghetti one-shot moment, but rather a book of pages to write each day
And may you know that you are here for a purpose
And that purpose is love

Good night, sweet dreams. I'll see you in the morning 🌄 😴 😘

This is your local therapist reminding you that you are basically a houseplant with more complicated emotions, and sunlight is essential to mental wellness. Please go outside even if its just for a few minutes. 🤪💛🧠

Another bedtime blessing.

May your sleep be restful, with boring or pleasant dreams.
May you have already had your last nightmare.
May you wake feeling refreshed, but lay in bed for an hour anyway
May you hurkle and derkle.
May your dogs breath smell good when they give you morning kisses.
May you wake to find a loved one has reached out, just because you were on their mind.
May you find the vulnerability to call and reach out.
May you know that you are good and valued and seen, just as you are right now.
May your mom compliment your outfit.
And May you know that all things work together for your good,
Because you are a symbol and vessel of love.
Sweetest of dreams.
Xoxo.
