I see you scrolling through social media watching others grow their families and celebrate milestones while you feel left behind.

I see you out with family or friends, deflecting questions about your life with jokes... then going home and wondering what’s wrong with you.

I see you celebrating your friends’ milestones with a genuine smile and happiness for them, while at the same time quietly wondering if you’re somehow broken because your life doesn’t look like theirs.

Here’s what I know from working with others just like this:

There’s nothing wrong with being on a different path. Our lives are not supposed to look all the same (how boring would that be!!)

If you’re struggling with feeling behind in life, I get that. My new book HEALING TIME was written for you!

In it I share some of my personal struggles with feeling stuck in life and provide a blueprint for healing that you can follow to get out of time shame, depression, anxiety, overwhelm and more.

DM the word HEAL to read the first chapter for free and a link for the book!

I spent years trying to figure out who I really was while at the same time being so concerned with how others in life saw me. Would they approve of what I was doing? What would they think? What would they say? Would they like the “real” me and would I be good enough?

You don’t realize how much of yourself you can actually lose by letting these kinds of questions dictate your life.

It’s scary to stop letting other people’s approval mean so much but this is the work we can slowly do together in therapeutic coaching. I promise you it’s possible to get the kind of life you value- it starts with knowing who you really are and what you really want/need.

IMAGINE having a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to face fear, anxiety, or overwhelm alone.

Our therapeutic coaching program is walks with you step-by-step, giving you the tools, guidance, and encouragement you need to move through insecurities, emotional setbacks, and whatever else keeps you feeling stuck, so you can finally move forward with clarity and confidence.

Who you are isn’t something you discover…
It’s something you uncover by removing what's not you.

Is this you?

You're trying to pump yourself up with affirmations and positive self-talk (both of which are helpful and important to do!!) but underneath there's still a voice telling you that you're flawed.

When you try to bury or ignore the shame in favor of quick confidence boosts, it ends up being a little like trying to put makeup over a wound - the root problem is not being addressed.

True self-worth and self-confidence isn't about convincing yourself that you’re amazing - it's about healing the belief that you're not.

It's not about building yourself up - it's about clearing out the lies over all these years (decades even) you've been told about who you are.

If you’re ready to address the root shame and start your healing journey, DM the word HEAL for a free consult call - there are many options to choose from depending on what you need, from Custom Trauma Therapy Intensives to Therapeutic Coaching to Somatic Therapy and more.

The big release for "Healing Time" is 1 week from today!!

Good college, good job, good relationship, good home. On paper, it looks like you’re doing pretty well. On the inside you’re struggling...

Lost, confused, disconnected.

You’ve been so focused on doing what you’re “supposed to do,” meeting other people’s expectations and getting where society says you’re supposed to be in life that you never asked if this is what you even want.

If this is supposedly the dream, why does it feel so empty?!

Who is the real YOU under that pile of expectations you’ve been carrying?

And if you dared to even pivot from the course you worked so hard to be on... what would others think? What do you believe that might say about you?

If you’re realizing you're stuck or unsure of your path, it is possible to feel more and more-

🌟clarity
🌟wholeness & peace
🌟connected to yourself and others

You can start with my book Healing TIME (it's fairly short if you're like me and have a ton of books on your shelf).

Need more support, especially throughout the week? Therapeutic coaching is support right when you need it.

Book is coming soon on Sept 22nd!!

That career path you chose at 22? You can pivot.

That relationship full of tears and betrayal? You can move forward.

The life you built to meet other people’s approval and expectations without ever asking “is this what I even want?” You can rebuild/remodel it.

And that’s not to say any of these things are easy. Change is often hard and scary - but it won’t be that way forever. The cost of staying stuck is hard and scary too. When you ignore your inner knowing in favor of meeting other peoples' expectations, you start to lose touch with your authentic self.

Sometimes we forget or don’t even realize all the choices and options we have in life. Sometimes we need help with seeing a way out or building faith and trust in ourselves or finding the courage to do something totally different.

I wrote my book "Healing Time" to help you get unstuck and move into a more aligned & fulfilling life - the life that you may not even think is waiting out there and possible for you.

It’s never too late to change your mind AND/OR change your life!

I'm excited to share that Healing Time is being released in 2 weeks on Sept 22nd!!! Can't wait to share this book with you very soon!

When stress hits, what’s your go-to response?

Do you avoid? Eat or drink junk? Numb out with media?

We all have default patterns when it comes to stress - some people fall apart or become paralyzed under pressure. Even when we are victimized, some may slip into a longer term mentality of being a victim, only able to experience the emotions that come from seeing the unfairness of the situation or feeling that they're always dealt the worst hand.

Here’s the problem though - sometimes our default pattern keeps us focused on what’s happening TO us only, instead of or additionally what we can do about it. This is understandable AND we can change this through working on developing new patterns and ways of responding.

We can work on regulating our nervous system and reminding ourselves we can always figure out what we need.

We can redefine how we choose to see the unknown and look for opportunities to move forward.

We can work on building trust in ourselves and in our body.

Your response to stress is one of the most powerful tools you have for shaping your future and this is one of the things we focus on in Therapeutic Coaching. If you are struggling in this area, send a message and let’s work on helping you rise above it!

My new book, HEALING TIME, is coming out soon! I wanted to read from a passage that I think a lot of us can relate to - the feeling of being stuck and not sure how to break free or move forward.

If this is you, if you are currently feeling stuck in life or find yourself often ending up in this place, this book is for you!

Healing Time is a blend of storytelling, therapeutic insight and coaching strategies to help get you unstuck, heal from the pain of your past and step into a more aligned and fulfilling future life.

I’m giving away the first chapter of my book for FREE - check it out here: https://www.canvascw.com/book

When we think about mental health and healing from trauma, we typically think serious clinical interventions. Serious problems require serious solutions, right?

While those are sometimes needed and helpful, we can also overlook or discount the simpler parts of healing....
..such as having FUN, moving your body and being silly!!

When you bring the aspect of play into whatever task you’re doing, it changes the way you process that task.

It rewires the brain towards states of safety, connection and possibility.

It helps break you out of rigid, trauma-based patterns and shift into a more light-hearted, positive state.

The value of working with a creative, holistic-focused therapist & coach is getting the best of both worlds: the more “serious” deep dives into processing trauma when needed and the non-conventional approaches to trauma healing like creative play, expression and somatic therapy movement.

We are not just a bunch of symptoms or diagnoses to be treated. The body, emotions, creativity, spirit and soul all play crucial roles in mental health recovery!

Healing from trauma does not have to be difficult and painful. It can feel light-hearted, creative, expressive and life-affirming too.

Do you have someone in your life who is able to be present with you and really see, hear and understand where you're coming from?

Not everyone in life has the capacity to be present with our feelings. Not everyone will be able to hold our fears, worries, grief or pain. Yet it is this simple act of compassion that can bring about profound healing for someone going through a difficult time.

When someone can see you for who you really are without distraction, urgency, rushing, judgment, reaction, or trying to change you, so much freedom results from this.

Deep healing comes from being seen with compassion, heard with compassion and understood with compassion. This act of compassion frees someone's heart and eases their pain, no matter what kind of pain it is.

It is my honor to be able to show up in a compassionate way and help others find themselves again after feeling broken down, stuck, trapped, lost, and in the dark.

Check out our offerings on the website for ways we can work together including my newest offering Therapeutic Coaching - which is specifically for all the overwhelmed, mentally exhausted people pleasers and perfectionists out there who want to feel they can just be who they are meant to be.

One thing I have learned: more thinking rarely solves the problem. We need other tools to break the cycle.

The truth is most problems aren’t solved by more thinking. It may feel productive and like the practical thing to do - but we end up getting stuck second-guessing things, replaying “what if” scenarios in our mind, and worrying about things outside of our control.

Overthinking is like the mental equivalent of quicksand - the more you struggle to think your way out, the deeper you sink. I understand this pattern well.

In our fast paced busy culture we fall into the trap of believing we have to do more or work harder to solve our problems. Sometimes it’s about doing less or doing something different.

DM or comment “break the cycle” to be sent a link for getting out of the overthinking cycle
