Mindful Life

12/31/2025

And that’s a wrap on 2025 ✨

Last year, I was so proud to know that I was able to see about 30 clients a week when it was my solo practice. I was honored to help 30 people every week on their journey towards healing.

This year, I feel the most honored to say that Mindful Life now services about 150 clients a week. From 30 to 150, let that sink in!

The vision for this office was to help the community heal. But I’m only one person. I can play Tetris like no other with my schedule, and see as many people as humanly possible, but I still couldn’t do more than what I was doing. So the dream was built. Imagine what a team of therapists could do?! This is it. 30 to 150. I am beyond grateful for this team, for this community that supports us, but most importantly our clients who trust us. We wouldn’t be here without you!

2025 was a HUGE year for me. I’ll never forget it. I already know 2026 is going to bring more growth.

I’ll be soaking this all up. This was a decade long dream in the making.

For now, stay tuned. Mindful Life isn’t done growing, we will just have to see what’s next!

We all wear masks, not to deceive, but to survive. Each one was built with purpose, often long before we even realized it. These masks protected us from pain, rejection, and shame. But over time, what once protected us can start to confine us.

🎃 The Perfection Mask strives for flawlessness to avoid criticism and maintain control. Beneath it often lives deep fear of inadequacy.
👻 The Humor Mask uses laughter to deflect discomfort and keep others from seeing emotional pain.
🕯️ The Caretaker Mask focuses outward, caring for others to avoid facing one’s own unmet needs.
🕸️ The Stoic Mask suppresses emotional expression to maintain stability and safety.
🧠 The Intellectual Mask explains, analyzes, and rationalizes to avoid feeling too much.
🩸 The Martyr Mask overextends for others to earn love and validation through sacrifice.

These roles once served a function. They helped us navigate unsafe or uncertain environments. But healing asks something different of us. It invites us to slowly, safely, begin taking the masks off.

Unmasking can feel vulnerable, even frightening. Yet it’s through that process that we reconnect with our authentic self, the part of us that doesn’t need to perform to be worthy.

You don’t have to drop every mask at once. Start by noticing when one appears, and ask what it’s trying to protect. That’s where the real work, and the real freedom, begins.

If you’re ready to explore the masks you wear and rediscover your authentic self, reach out to Mindful Life. Together, we can help you find safety in showing up as you truly are.

Bringing back my favorite post from last year in honor of the season of slowing down.

Happy October 1st! I wanted to share a very personal message and coping skill with you all today.

Our brains are hardwired to see the negative. We are much more likely to care about safety over happiness. It's in our constant pursuit of safety that we lose sight of the present. I'm here to tell you, being connected to the present is the secret to happiness. In our attempt to feel "safe," we become prisoner to the past and future. We embody the mindset, "I'll be happy when...." or "What if....this happens."

I practice grounding to the present by romanticizing the small and mundane moments. Because when I am at the end of my life, I'll only be left with a handful of the "big" moments. But the entirety of who I am will be a culmination of the "tiny" moments, those are what truly make up the sum of my life. So I choose to notice the way the Autumn air smells, the way my morning coffee tastes just right, and the sound of my child's laughter after a hard day. I choose to make October 1st magical because I am so incredibly lucky to live in a world where Octobers exist.

I choose to believe that these "tiny" moments are actually the big moments. These are the moments that matter the most, and the ones we so easily take for granted.

I hope you slow down today and intentionally choose to see how beautiful and magical this present moment is.

Our amazing therapist, Kelsey Chapman, has been busy learning, growing, and bringing new tools to her work with couples and individuals! She recently completed two specialized trainings that we’re so excited to highlight:

✨ Gottman Level 2 Training

📚 Research-based methods for improving relationships

💬 Helps couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust

💞 Ideal for couples who feel stuck in the same arguments or want to strengthen their bond

✨ Sensate Focus Training

🪷 A mindfulness-based approach to intimacy and connection

🤝 Encourages couples to slow down, reduce pressure, and reconnect through touch and presence

🌹 Ideal for couples experiencing low desire, performance anxiety, or wanting to rekindle closeness

💡 When combined, these two powerful approaches help couples not only communicate better, but also reconnect emotionally and physically. Kelsey’s advanced training means more support, more tools, and more ways to help clients feel understood and truly connected.

💬 “Intimacy begins when the pressure fades and presence takes place.”

📞 Ready to begin your journey toward deeper connection? Contact us today to schedule a consultation, we’re here to help.

It’s easy to get frustrated when life doesn’t go as planned. The burnt toast. The coffee spill. The alarm that doesn’t go off. In the moment, it feels like life is working against us.

But sometimes… those very interruptions are what protect us.

On September 11th, there were people who survived simply because of a delay: a child who needed five more minutes, a train that ran late, a shirt that needed to be changed. What seemed like an inconvenience became a lifeline.

Today, as we remember the lives lost and the heroism shown, we’re also reminded to hold compassion for the detours and delays in our own lives. Instead of asking why is this happening to me, maybe we can learn to ask how is this helping me ?We may never fully see the protection hidden inside those small pauses, but we can choose to trust that even in frustration, there is meaning.

Take a breath. Honor the pause. And hold space for gratitude in the unexpected.
