Your brain can't heal what it can't rest from. 😴

Racing thoughts at bedtime? Waking up at 3 AM with anxiety? Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep?

Sleep and mental health are deeply connected — poor sleep worsens mental health symptoms, and mental health struggles make good sleep nearly impossible.

But here's what most people don't realize: improving sleep often dramatically improves mental health symptoms.

Give me a call to schedule an appointment, and we can work to develop healthy sleep patterns!

The kids moved out, but the feelings moved in. 🏡

Spent decades focused on raising kids, and now they're launched into their own lives? Proud of them but not sure who you are without the daily demands of parenting?

It’s okay. It’s normal. Your feelings are valid. But think of this transition as an opportunity, too. You have the chance to redisover interests you set aside, strengthen your partnership, explore new purposes and passions, and build different relationships with your adult children.

If you ever need to talk more, I’m always a phone call away!

Self-sabotage isn't about lack of willpower. It's about conflicting parts of ourself — one part wants success, another part fears what success might mean.

Together in therapy, we can work to identify your self-sabotage patterns and work through the deeper fears that keep you stuck just short of your dreams.

Tired of the mirror being your enemy? Exhausted from diet culture? Feeling like you can't love yourself until you look different?

Body image struggles steal so much mental energy — energy that could be used for living, creating, connecting, and thriving.

When body image starts to negatively impact your mental health, remember that your body is not your masterpiece. Your life is. 🪞

Trying something new with this mental health tip and sharing a project I often do with kiddos I’m seeing for the first time.

However, it’s still applicable to us adults as we muddle through the mess that life sometimes gives us.

So the next time you’re having a tough day, remember that you have to take some thorns to get the rose! 🌹

Always saying yes when you want to say no? Feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions? Avoiding conflict at all costs? Exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy?

People-pleasing feels like kindness, but it's actually a trauma response.
And it's costing you your peace, your energy, and your authentic self.

Ready to stop living for everyone else's approval? I help people-pleasers learn to set boundaries without guilt and prioritize their own wellbeing without apology. DM me BOUNDARIES for more information! 🙋🏻

Quarter-life crisis? Midlife questioning? Feeling stuck in a life that looks good on paper but feels empty inside?
