Recently I had the chance to chat with Reesa about my personal experience of parenting my child and reparenting myself as someone with childhood trauma, all while making one of my favorite easy dip recipes.

Hi everyone, we had someone drop out of my group prior to the start date (which is this Saturday, June 15th) so we have an opening!

Here's another reminder that I will be running a therapeutic processing group regarding adult children who are low or no contact (or heavily considering it) with their emotionally immature parents.

The group will be held in Webster Groves every other Saturday from June 15th to September 21st from 12:30pm - 2pm.

The group has a "pay what you can" range from $50-$80 per session. I have the option for a monthly 4-payment installment option to make it more affordable to folks.

We will be covering ALLLLLLL the topics & allowing space for people to truly be seen & heard in this often shamed experience.

Here is the flyer below. I have all this info and more on my website. If you have someone in mind for this group please make sure they fill out the interest form ASAP so that I can get them screened and into the group for Saturday's start.

For those in the St. Louis area, I will be starting up a therapeutic processing group for adult children of emotionally immature parents who are low or no contact with their family of origin.

It can sometimes be difficult to explain why you're estranged from your family and others may not understand the invisible wounds you carry. This 8 week processing group is meant to provide community and support for adult children who are dealing with estrangement or considering estrangement.

While I've been featured in a few publications already (Verywell Mind, AskMen, Well + Good), I just got quoted in Time Magazine which is so cool!

Here's the article on therapist "comebacks":

“What a wild thing to say out loud.”

What do you do when hanging out with your therapist friend on the weekend? Drink iced jasmine tea and do a values sort activity of course!

While I'm an EMDR therapist, I love a values sort activity (an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concept). So many people struggle with a sense of identity & purpose. Knowing our values helps us live in congruence with our core selves. This allows us to make more informed choices, act more authentically in our daily lives, and give direction when we're feeling lost. I combine this activity with a few other things for clients to give them a "north star" to follow in processing and in everyday life. (The picture is not from a client, but a friend and I).

It's International Women's Day and what better way to celebrate myself than by launching a therapy group on an issue I'm passionate about.

This group is specifically for adult children of emotionally immature parents who are low or no contact with family. Read the description on my website and see if those points resonate with you. If so, reach out ❤️

Hey ladies, listen up! If you're in your late 20s or early 30s and thinking about having kids someday, let's have a real talk about something crucial: healing your romantic issues right now. Yep, you heard me! While it may feel like we have all the time in the world, if we want a partner included in that fairytale family, then that work needs to begin right now.

Because here's the truth: We don’t magically wake up one day fully capable of being in a relationship. We don’t snap our fingers at 35, say “now I’m ready”, and just slip into a healthy, intentional partnership. We have to work to break free from our old dating patterns and beliefs, which takes time. Time that our biological clock may not allow.

If we don’t heal our romantic wounds then we carry those unresolved wounds and emotional baggage into our future–impacting our ability to find a fulfilling partnership and fully embrace the awesomeness of motherhood. Plus, do you really want to pass on any leftover relationship baggage to your little ones? Hell no!

That's where the magic of attachment-focused EMDR comes in. By diving into a highly effective, attachment-focused form of EMDR therapy, we can dig deep and uncover the underlying issues that might be messing with your love life. It's like going on an epic treasure hunt for emotional healing, but instead of gold, we find self-love and inner peace.

This therapy journey is like a kickass boot camp for your heart and mind. You'll develop the skills necessary to build healthier relationships, improve communication, resolve the beliefs and ingrained behaviors that keep holding you back, find security in yourself, and boost your confidence like a true boss.

Click “learn more” or click the link in my bio to read more about what romantic wounds and issues you’ll want to take care of before looking for that forever partner or starting your journey towards motherhood. You deserve to have the future you’ve dreamed of and we can make it happen.
