I strive to establish a safe and comfortable environment that is tailored to your individual needs.

Thanksgiving can bring comfort for some and heaviness for others.
If this season feels complicated for you, that is completely valid. Gratitude is not about pretending everything is perfect. It is about noticing the small moments that help you breathe a little easier.

Today, try this gentle reflection:
โœจ What helped me get through this year?
โœจ Who showed up for me, even in small ways?
โœจ What am I proud of myself for surviving?

Gratitude is not a demand. It is an invitation to slow down and acknowledge your own resilience.

Wishing you a calm and grounded Thanksgiving.
