I absolutely love doing couples therapy. There's something so fulfilling about watching two people choose to stay, grow, own their flaws, break through their barriers, and genuinely meet each other in the middle. My clients remind me why I do this work. Seeing couples fight for connection, understanding, and each other never gets old. It's such an honor to help them piece things together and witness those moments where it all clicks. Feeling grateful and blessed that God has called me to do this work this morning.

Therapy isn’t only for people in crisis.
It’s also for the ones who seem “fine” but feel disconnected. The ones who keep it together for everyone else. The ones who can’t quite name what’s off, only that something is.

You don’t have to wait until it hurts too much to reach for help. You can start when you’re simply curious about what peace could feel like.

🌿 You Deserve to Be Truly Seen and Understood 🌿

If you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse — whether in a relationship, family, or workplace — you know how invisible, confused, and drained it can leave you feeling. The pain is deep, and the healing journey is often lonely.

What makes it even harder is that many therapists simply aren’t trained to recognize the complex, subtle dynamics of narcissistic abuse. It can sound “too unbelievable” — the manipulation, the gaslighting, the slow erosion of your sense of self. Unless someone has truly studied it — or even lived through it — it’s easy to miss what’s really going on beneath the surface.

That’s where I come in. 💛

I provide a safe, compassionate space for survivors of narcissistic abuse — a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your experience. I get it. I understand the confusion, the self-doubt, and the exhaustion that come with years of psychological manipulation. Together, we’ll work gently but powerfully to help you:
✨ Reconnect with your intuition and self-trust
✨ Release the guilt and shame that were never yours to carry
✨ Learn to set boundaries that honor your peace
✨ Rebuild a grounded, confident sense of self

Healing is possible. You are not “too much” or “too broken.” You’re a survivor, and you deserve to feel whole again.

If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk beside you on your healing journey.
🕊️ Book a therapy session with me today — and take your first step toward freedom, clarity, and peace.

🚫 “I’m So OCD” — Why Therapists Cringe When We Hear This

You’ve probably heard someone say, “I’m so OCD—I just love when everything’s organized!”

But here’s the thing…
Liking things neat and tidy doesn’t mean you have OCD. Some people with OCD actually struggle with being organized.

⸻

🧠 What OCD Actually Is

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not a personality trait or a cute quirk.
It’s a serious anxiety disorder that involves:

Obsessions – unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety.
(Example: “If I don’t check the door 10 times, something terrible will happen.”)

Compulsions – repetitive behaviors or mental rituals done to relieve that anxiety.
(Example: checking, counting, cleaning, or repeating phrases.)

For people living with OCD, these thoughts and rituals are distressing, time-consuming, and disrupt daily life.
They’re not enjoyable or satisfying — they’re exhausting.

⸻

✨ Being Neat ≠ Having OCD

Enjoying order, structure, or cleanliness is a personality preference, not a mental illness.
People with OCD don’t feel “satisfied” by their behaviors — they often feel trapped by them.

⸻

💬 Why This Matters

When we casually say, “I’m so OCD,” we:
• Minimize what people with OCD actually go through
• Spread misinformation about mental health
• Make it harder for those who are struggling to be taken seriously

⸻

❤️ Try Saying Instead:

✅ “I love being organized.”
✅ “I feel calm when my space is tidy.”
✅ “I like structure and routines.”

Those statements are true — without misusing a clinical diagnosis.

⸻

Language matters.
Understanding the difference helps reduce stigma and honors the real experiences of people living with OCD. 💚

Thank you

Grief changes the landscape of your heart.
You may never be the same — but that doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve loved deeply. 💛
