If you or someone you know could benefit from a supportive session, please reach out. My goal is to provide care that’s accessible and compassionate during this difficult time.

You don’t have to frame your exhaustion as a “lesson.” Sometimes burnout isn’t a breakthrough—it’s your body saying, enough. 🙅🏾‍♀️

It’s okay to be grateful for your growth and still wish it came in gentler ways.

If you’ve ever felt like the emotional glue holding everything (and everyone) together, you’re not imagining it. Carrying that kind of invisible weight is exhausting.

You don’t have to stop caring—you just deserve to care in a way that doesn’t cost your peace.

🏋🏾‍♀️Sometimes, that starts with simply naming what feels heavy.

Therapist or not, I have to remind myself that rest is productive too. Practicing what I preach — because self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. 💛

If slowing down makes you anxious, you’re not alone. For many high-achievers, rest doesn’t come naturally—it has to be relearned.

When your body and mind have been trained to associate worth with doing, stopping feels like failure. But rest isn’t the opposite of success—it’s what makes it sustainable.

✨ In therapy, we work on helping your nervous system feel safe without the constant doing—so rest can finally feel like rest.

💭 “What type of therapy is right for me?”

If you’ve ever wondered this, you’re not alone. The truth is—therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different approaches work for different people, depending on what you’re navigating and how you like to process.

✨ The “right” therapy is the one that feels like a good fit for you. Sometimes that takes a little exploration, and that’s okay!

Instead of pushing people away or punishing them, boundaries are really about showing up for yourself with clarity and care. 🌿

Let your boundaries be a gentle a reminder that how you are treated matters, and that your well-being is non-negotiable. ✨

✨ Everyone’s talking about The Great Lock-In — that September-to-December reset before New Year’s resolutions.

Locking in doesn’t have to mean hustling harder or chasing perfection. It can be about creating small, sustainable shifts that support your well-being.

Here are 7 therapist-backed tips to keep your Lock-In compassionate and sustainable:

1️⃣ Choose 2–3 goals, not everything at once
2️⃣ Build in rest & realistic expectations
3️⃣ Notice your self-talk — what would your kind voice say if you slip up?
4️⃣ Redefine success as consistency, not perfection
5️⃣ Align your goals with values, not trends
6️⃣ Celebrate micro-wins (they matter!)
7️⃣ Check in weekly & adjust without guilt

The point isn’t to burn out by December — it’s to build rhythms you can carry into the new year.

💬 Tell me: what’s one small goal you’d love to lock in this fall?
