Join us this Friday, January 9th at 12:00 PM EST for the 2026 Private Practice Discussion Hub.
This free, confidential space is designed for clinicians in private practice who want to connect, reflect, and thoughtfully inquire for support alongside peers. Private practice can be challenging for many reasons—clinical, emotional, financial, and systemic.
Together, we normalize these realities, share perspectives, and build meaningful professional community. Bring a friend or colleague and join us this Friday.

It’s safe to say I am not alone when I oscillate between feeling as though I’m doing too much or not enough. I booked my experience early this summer. Last week I modified (some) of my reservations to attend in person. Two decisions I do not regret! Flying home early with a full heart and archive of rich memories to carry me through the grind before the next connections.

Join me this Thursday, November 20th, in wearing blue for Children’s Grief Awareness Day.
Together, we can help ensure that grieving children are seen, heard, and supported. Throughout the day, I invite you to take an extra moment to truly listen to what children share—whether through words, play, behavior, or silence.

These small moments of presence and attunement strengthen their confidence, validate their emotions, and support healthy regulation. Let’s stand with them, honor their stories, and help create a world where no grieving child feels alone.

Here are three simple ways to attune and connect with children:
Mirror their pace and actions. Match their energy—whether quiet or playful—to help them feel understood without pressure.
Name what you notice, starting with the feeling or emotion. This invites deeper reflection and helps children make sense of their internal experience.
Pause, breathe, and offer two simple choices when possible. Choice increases their sense of control, safety, and purpose.

💙💙💙

The number of children experiencing bereavement continues to grow and the impact
is profound. Did you know 1 in 12 children in the state of Colorado will experience the death of a parent or sibling before age 18?

This month- is Children’s Grief Awareness Month, together we
acknowledge the urgent need for support and to continue our work to ensure no child has to
grieve alone.For resources and support, visit the National Alliance for Children's Grief at nacg.org.

At the end of my dissertation process, I knew I wanted to lean into a personal goal. For nearly two decades, most of my energy had been devoted to fostering professional growth—deeply meaningful work that shaped who I am. Yet, I found myself longing to connect with a world beyond my professional scope.
I set my sights on completing a full Ironman: a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run. For 112 weeks, I consistently showed up for myself—stepping away from comfort and into challenge—to test and retest the skills and mindset required to cross the finish line.
Crossing that line last year in 14:51 was profoundly empowering. Over the past year, I explored professional adequacy, leaning into what left me personally feeling energized, and fulfilled. Along with what made me- me! Applying those lessons, I returned for another 140.6 miles—knowing this race would be different.
Training this time spanned 11 states and even another continent. It meant early mornings, setting priorities, and giving myself grace in my professional life—acknowledging what’s within my control and letting go of what isn’t.
This journey has been nothing short of transformative. Thank you to all those who supported me, ensured I was accountability, and challenged me. And with a time of 13 hours and 37 minutes, I can proudly say again: I am an Ironman.

Join Megan Lopez from the National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG) and me on Thursday, October 9th at the Association for Play Therapy Conference!

We’re excited to present:
Supporting Grieving K–5 Students: Play Therapy Strategies for School-Based Grief Groups

This hands-on session will highlight practical ways to facilitate school-based grief groups that honor the Child Centered Play Therapy principles of choice, unconditional positive regard, and autonomy.

Our goal is to equip play therapists with developmentally appropriate strategies that empower grieving children in their healing journeys. We look forward to connecting, learning, and strengthening the support available to grieving students together.
