Local friends, seems like there’s an upcoming opportunity to find a way to benefit the community.

I’ve linked an article in the comments about how helping others benefits us as much!

Mother’s Day can be complicated. If it’s hard for you for whatever reason, that’s ok. Allow yourself to feel it and then do something that feels nurturing to yourself.

If it’s a wonderful day, enjoy it deeply! Take in every precious moment. As the famous philosopher Ferris Bueller noted, life moves pretty fast.

Get some sunshine on your faces today no matter what.

Exciting changes coming for Spring 2025!

My colleagues and I will be moving to the suite right next door to our current space. This new office will provide more space for clients, opportunities for events, and better climate control.

I’m looking forward to sharing how we make this as inviting as suite 201!

And yes, 👀those are ✨curved brick archways ✨

Time to post the snow policy!

Generally speaking, if Newington schools are closed or after school activities cancelled, my office is also closed. Telehealth will be available if you elect to meet.

There may be times I respond differently than the town. I will give folks as much notice as possible.

Kintsugi- the Japanese art of making repair to a broken treasure

Last week,I had the good fortune of attending a professional development hosted by Stephanie Donofrio, MS, LMFT. The exercise she walked us through demonstrated the importance of patience and effort to create something new and beautiful with pieces of what was once whole.

This is us. This is relationships. This is our plans for the future.

It may not look the same, but we can be beautiful when we take time to repair what’s broken.

I so appreciate Stephanie asking us to have a moment to reflect on the topic.

Anyway, here’s my pretty sticker holder for the office. I think she’s great.

Some years are harder than others and it doesn’t always make sense. If this is a hard year, please be loving to yourself. If this is a year that doesn’t feel as heavy, I hope you can deeply enjoy the reprieve.
