Hi, all! I’m back from maternity leave & I have several openings for new clients. If you or someone you know is searching for a therapist for a beloved child or teen, don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to journey with you.

let’s all take a moment today to speak gently and lovingly to ourselves. you are more than enough, just as you are. 🌈

how likely are you to ask that final question? in the midst of what ifs, self-compassion might look like simply considering a glimmer of hope 🌈

10/24/2022

sometimes we might be tempted to ignore uncomfortable or strong feelings. but being in tune with our emotions is the best way to understand ourselves and learn what we need. Our feelings won’t last forever, just like clouds pass over us in the sky.

The best part about deep breathing? You can do it anytime, anywhere. Join me in trying one of these practices today.

🌈Save this post for the next time you need to regulate/manage tough emotions.

Children and teens experiencing trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, behavior issues at home/school or self-esteem struggles need a safe, caring presence in their life to listen and walk with them toward healing and self-understanding. I would be honored to be that presence in your child or teen’s life.

🌈 I have newly expanded hours and immediate openings for daytime and after-school, so send me an email or give me a call, and we can partner together support your beloved young person. 🌈

Therapy at its core isn’t about fixing you. You aren’t a problem to be solved, and neither is your child. I partner with clients to bring about insight, healing, and a safe place to feel. What would you take today if you had a session? 🌈

A thin place is simply a place where the space between you and the Divine/wholeness/peace feels thinner. Although typically used in a spiritual sense, a thin place is what you make it to be.

Take a minute and think: where was the last place where I paused and said “wow, I feel at home in myself. I feel close to peace and wholeness.” Or, “I feel close to the Divine.” That might be your thin place.

For me, I have many: the summer camp I grew up at, the Oregon coast, the place in Ireland I recently visited (pictured here), and many others.

What’s important is realizing that these places aren’t the only way we access peace - it just feels easier here. What can we do in our everyday spaces to make the gap between ourselves and peace a bit thinner?

Do you have a “thin place?” Let me know below! 🌈

Often times we enter therapy hoping things will be “fixed.” More often, we find the most healing through connecting with another. Through a therapeutic relationship, clients find wholeness, self-awareness and healing, not just a solution to their current problems.

Parents, this is key for your family as well. Kids often need connection more than anything else. Your calm, regulating presence helps your kids to know they’re safe and secure.

Parents of littles! Kids thrive on routine and predictability. They also crave connection. Incorporating a simple, sweet “I Love You Ritual” into your daily routine can help increase attachment and connection when kids need it most.

While this Twinkle Twinkle ritual is powerful and sweet, an I Love You ritual can also be as simple as:
🌈a secret handshake
🌈a long hug with a simple, repeated phrase (you are loved)
🌈a quick dance move you do together

This is just one of MANY rituals created by the wonderful Dr. Becky Bailey! Be sure to check out her book, I Love You Rituals.

If you find your default phrase is “Sorry!” you’re not alone. When we apologize for things that don’t require it, we end up diminishing the power of a true apology.

Instead, try “thank you.” Thank you for understanding. Thank you for respecting my needs. I appreciate your patience.

🌈These small changes can impact how we see ourselves in the world - not as a burden to be apologized for, but as someone worthy of that time, that patience, that respect.
