Fidget toys in therapy? Yes, please.
They’re not just fun—they help regulate your nervous system, support focus, reduce anxiety, and make hard conversations feel safer and more grounded. Little tools, big impact. ✨

👉 What’s your favorite fidget or grounding tool? Drop it in the comments!

As a marriage and family therapist, one of the core principles I work from is the understanding that healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in the context of relationships.

Our earliest relationships shape how we view ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we navigate the world. When those relationships are marked by safety, trust, and emotional attunement, they foster resilience and emotional well-being. When they’re marked by disconnection or harm, they can leave lasting emotional wounds.

Therapeutic relationships — and safe, supportive personal relationships — provide opportunities to experience new, healthier patterns of connection.

Through these interactions, we can:
✔️ Repair attachment wounds
✔️ Develop healthier boundaries
✔️ Build emotional regulation skills
✔️ Learn to trust and be vulnerable again

Relational healing is powerful because it reminds us that change is possible, and that we don’t have to do it alone.

If you’ve struggled in relationships or with feeling safe in connection, know that healing is possible — one relationship at a time.

I’m incredibly excited to announce that I wrote a chapter in a book collaboration led by the amazing Dasha Bond of Penelope Ponders. I am so honored she asked me to share my story for her new book, “Dreaming with the Bees: Sacred Medicine from Beyond the Veil of Grief.”

I share a story about the wisdom of our ancestors, how to open up and listen to their messages, and move towards integrating their words into your own story. You’ll have to read my chapter to find out more!

My fellow sisters who wrote about their healing stories in this book share vulnerable parts of themselves in the hopes their words help others. Powerful medicine awaits you in this beautiful book.

Brave Healer Productions is publishing the book this spring! I’ll share more details as the date approaches.

Mental health has long been stigmatized as not necessary, that people should just “get over it” or “forget about it.” Many families taught that generations to not talk about their mental health, for fear of being seen as weak or a burden.

Fortunately, we now know better. Good mental health is a key component of our overall health and well-being. The WHO states that 1 in 8 people globally live with mental health conditions. Mental health conditions among adolescents and young people are also increasing, with depression influencing adolescent illness and disability around the world.

I’m here to help. I’ve provided resources on the next few slides to help those who are not sure where to turn. Reach out to me. Reach out to friends and family. Talk to others. We heal in community and we want to create a safe space to heal and grow.
