I already have clients telling me, "I asked Chat, and Chat said...."
Often, "what Chat said" is not wholly wrong or off the mark. Quite the opposite. "I would agree with that," is often what I think.
Oh. My. The implications.

Q: Do you know what makes anxiety and depression worse?

A: Rumination, i.e. talking about it, focusing on it, turning it over and over in your mind. Bonus points for talking about it with your spouse, children, mother, and the lady who does your nails.

Talking endlessly about your feelings is a one-way ticket to misery.

What brought you joy today?

Was it the first sip of coffee?
The way your partner’s beautiful brown eyes took you in?
The way the sun danced on the water?

Joy is all around us.
We just have to notice it.

One of the most important emotional skills no one taught us:

Feelings are one word.
Anything longer is a thought about the feeling.

This distinction matters more than you think—especially in relationships, stress, and healing old patterns.

Helping people slow down, identify emotions accurately, and respond instead of react is a core part of my work as a therapist.
And yes—this is absolutely something you can learn.

When you’re in the wrong relationship, every day is the same script:
You explain. They deflect. Nothing changes.
Six more years of winter if you stay. 🥶
Plot twist: you’re allowed to change the season.
Let me show you how :)

No BS Therapy That Works

Now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Plans!

Have you tried therapy, had coaches, and read all the self-help and success books? But still, IT’S NOT WORKING. “It” might be your business, your personal life, or both. If only you could work with a therapist who had a business/entrepreneurial background...who “gets it” when it comes to how your work and your business are intertwined in a way that only you understand.

Maybe you’ve been to therapy or counseling before and made attempts to explain your business and personal life. It’s complicated. You got a sympathetic nod, and came back the next week and explained it all. Again.

But here’s the thing.
