Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎

This energy is asking you to notice where you might be holding back, and inviting you to break old patterns. Less tolerance for people-pleasing. More courage to express what wants to move.

Journal prompts for reflection:
• Where am I holding myself back out of fear or habit?
• What wants to move, be expressed, or changed?
• How do I channel intensity without burning out?

Take a moment today to check in with yourself and honor the energy within you ✨

Which of these journal prompts speaks to you the most right now? 👇

Out of Office 🗓️

I’ll be out of the office 2/16–2/20. Happy President’s Day! 🇺🇸

Rest is important — I’ll be back and checking emails when I can, but responses may take a few days.

The client portal is open to schedule appointments for late February:

How do you plan to rest or recharge this month? 💛

Couples + Valentine’s Day: Let’s Talk About It 💌

Valentine’s Day can be sweet… and it can also bring up tension. Fights often happen because:
• Expectations go unspoken
• One partner is sentimental, the other isn’t
• Pressure replaces playfulness

Try this instead:
• Get clear on expectations: gifts, cards, date, low-key, or all out
• Communicate directly — no hints, say what you want
• Celebrate on a different day if schedules don’t match
• Make it FUN — it’s about connection, not perfection

Yes, Valentine’s Day is a “Hallmark holiday,” but it’s also a chance to pause, connect, and celebrate love in your way ❤️

What’s one way you plan to celebrate connection this Valentine’s Day? 👇

From a s*x therapy perspective, here’s what matters most on Valentine's Day:

• Great s*x starts outside the bedroom: emotional safety, communication, and trust > performance
• Desire isn’t always spontaneous// for many, it comes after connection
• Pressure shuts down intimacy fast. Curiosity > obligation

S*x therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about creating connection, safety, and pleasure that feels authentic to you.

This Valentine’s Day, let it be about presence, not perfection ✨

What’s one way you show presence in your relationships (or with yourself)? 👇

If s*x only happens “at night,” you may be missing each other.

Low desire at bedtime doesn’t automatically mean low desire for your partner.
For many people, melatonin rises at night, stress peaks, and the nervous system shifts into shutdown—not connection.

That doesn’t equal incompatibility.
It means timing, biology, and stress matter.

In couples therapy, we don’t just ask “What’s wrong?”
We explore:
• Desire patterns and s*x drive differences
• Sleep schedules and energy cycles
• Stress, burnout, and nervous system regulation
• How emotional safety fuels physical intimacy

When couples understand how their bodies and minds work, intimacy becomes intentional—not pressured.

✨ You don’t need more effort.
✨ You need better understanding.

Couples therapy creates the space to have these conversations clearly, safely, and without blame.

Single on Valentine’s Day? Let’s reframe it 💌

Being single isn’t a deficit—it’s an invitation to tend to yourself. Here are a few ways to show yourself love this V-Day:

• Move your body in ways that regulate your nervous system: long walk, hot yoga, bath, or yoga nidra
• Nourish yourself well
• Put your phone down—less comparison, more presence
• Take yourself on a personal date: treat yourself how you want to be treated, open the door for yourself

You are worthy of care, attention, and love, exactly as you are 🤍

Comment Prompt: What’s one way you plan to show yourself love this Valentine’s Day? 💌

02/04/2026

Quietly falling out of love doesn’t usually look like explosive fights.
It looks like less eye contact.
More silence.
Parallel lives under the same roof.

Most couples don’t “suddenly” fall apart — they drift. And by the time the pain is loud, the distance has been growing for a long time.

✨ Here’s the part people don’t talk about enough:
Couples therapy—when done early—is often WAY cheaper (emotionally and financially) than divorce.

When you catch the signs early, therapy can help couples:
• Rebuild emotional safety
• Learn how to communicate without defensiveness
• Repair resentment before it hardens
• Decide—consciously—how you want your relationship to move forward

Divorce can cost tens of thousands of dollars…
Couples therapy can save a relationship or help you part with clarity and respect instead of destruction.

If something feels “off,” that’s not a failure — it’s information. And it deserves attention.

💬 You don’t have to wait until everything is broken to ask for help.

A little get to know me moment ✨

I’m a mom of twin teenagers (which means I know a thing or two about nervous systems, multitasking, and balancing a lot of moving parts). Hot yoga is my non-negotiable—it helps me feel grounded, regulated, and present for the work I do. I’m a February Aquarius ♒️, always learning through continuing education, and yes… I love pizza 🍕 (with balance, of course).

👉 What’s something that helps you feel grounded lately?

01/30/2026

New year, same nervous system.
Because healing doesn’t flip with the calendar — it unfolds when your body finally feels safe enough to let go. 💛

EMDR helps reduce the emotional charge of past experiences, so your mind and body can:
🌿 Soften the intensity of old memories
🌿 Release patterns that no longer serve you
🌿 Move forward with more clarity, ease, and capacity

You don’t have to carry every story into 2026.
Your nervous system deserves space to heal, one layer at a time. 💌

01/28/2026

High-conflict co-parenting often comes from a dysregulated nervous system — not bad intentions.
When emotions are high and stress is constant, it’s easy to react fast, speak sharply, or feel misunderstood. 💛

Co-parenting support can help everyone:
🌿 Slow conversations down
🌿 Reduce reactivity
🌿 Build safer communication
🌿 Focus on what children need most — stability, calm, and care

You don’t have to navigate this dynamic alone.
Therapy offers tools, perspective, and space to create more peace for you and your family. 💌

01/26/2026

S*x therapy isn’t about “not being good in bed.”
It’s about understanding yourself — your needs, your desires, your boundaries, and how you connect with another person. 💛

S*x is part of mental health.
It lives in our nervous systems, our relationships, our histories, and our communication patterns.

In therapy, you get space to explore s*xuality without pressure, performance, or shame — just curiosity, safety, and support.
Because intimacy should feel connected, not confusing. 🌿

💛 It’s Not About the Dishes 💛

Most couples aren’t fighting about chores, schedules, or small details.
Those are just the sparks on the surface.

Couples therapy creates space to explore what’s underneath:
✨ Feeling unseen or unheard
🤍 Wanting appreciation
🌿 Carrying overwhelm or stress
💬 Struggling to name needs with clarity

When partners feel seen, understood, and supported, conflict softens—and connection becomes possible again.

You don’t have to navigate it alone.
There’s room for both of you here.
