Therapy is relational. If there’s ever been a time this has felt most true, it’s now.
For months, I had imagined a slow, intentional transition into maternity leave—one where I could offer meaningful closure to every client and share a thoughtful goodbye. But life, in all its unpredictability, had other plans. My water broke three weeks early and all of my “plans” went out the window.
I found myself sending hospital-bed texts to cancel termination sessions. It was far from the graceful exit I’d envisioned. And yet even in that abrupt shift, I felt so deeply supported. Clients responded with warmth, understanding, and compassion that moved me to tears.
It reminded me again: therapy is not a one-way relationship. There is mutuality, trust, and shared humanity. We may sit in different chairs, but what’s exchanged is real.
This experience, though far from what I planned, has been a powerful lesson in surrendering control, softening my grip, and trusting the process—even when it doesn’t look the way I hoped it would.
Thank you to my incredible clients for allowing me to walk alongside you. Thank you to those I’ve recently paused with for reminding me what a privilege it is to do this work. And to those I didn’t get to pause with properly—thank you for holding me in return.
My baby girl arrived safely and is already teaching me so much about love, presence, and letting go.
I’ll see you on the other side of this new chapter 🫶🏽💫
