Excellent video, for those struggling to step into those new behaviors and patterns and anyone struggling with loving someone who is avoidant/ dismissive avoidant. The answer, often, is to face and do the very thing you are fearing, slow and steady. You are WORTH it šŸ’›

There is something magical in the laughter and tenderness of wee ones. The genuineness shines through.

That’s what my week was like… šŸ˜‚ It’s hard to hold all of the stuff that happens in a 2-3 week period! I had my listening ears on and I kept up with every one! You are WORTH it šŸ’›

The office will be CLOSED 1-8-26 thru 1-23-26. I am out of office attending a retreat/workshop. For current patients, you have my emergency number if you need to reach me in an emergency. For regular communications, please leave me a message and I will return all calls on 1-23 and 24-26.

I will continue my policy of not accepting new patients at this time. The demand is just too great and I am needing to keep more consistency with my office hours. If you are a new patient and you contact my office, I am happy to call you back and speak to you about services I offer and put you on the cancellation list for when a time slot opens that works for you, if we decide to work together. Thank you for your understanding and patience. You are WORTH quality mental health care, so do not wait to be seen. If you can not get in with me, but you need care, do NOT wait. Call around to other therapists, call your doctor, check into local resources… but don’t give up on getting your care. You are WORTH it šŸ’›

See you all on January 26, 2026!

When I talk with patients about resetting with nature as their touchstone… this is what I am gently nudging toward. Helping each of us to reconnect with nature, with creatures, with the mystery of our universe and our world. The amount of communication going on in this clip is AWESOME- what you can hear, and what you can’t hear with the human ear. The vibrations in the air must’ve been electric! When you feel you need a reset- get outside, visit a zoo, go and sit for a period of time in a park. Just chill in nature. Let Mother Nature be your therapist - she’s pretty great šŸ˜‰ You are WORTH it šŸ’›

One of my favorite videos of this teacher, who works with students of all ages. I have watched a lot of his videos of different students, and it is beautiful to see how he connects with each student and the dance uniquely- even though it is usually the same dance he has uploaded that highlights the students performing. I think this is a beautiful testimony to what therapy work is. I do a ā€œsomewhatā€ similar dance that I have done for many many years, and yes I update skills and learn new moves and techniques, but I usually am doing much of the same bulk of skills with most of my patients… but I adapt and blend and adjust and find how to connect with each one of them in a unique way as well. When you watch this teacher and his videos, you can see the relationships he has with different students before the music ever starts- you can feel it… that is the ā€œchemistryā€ I talk about feeling with my patients and how critical that is to the therapeutic alignment and work that we do! So, if you haven’t watched this guys page- go look at his students and the different videos. And for those that have a therapist, this guy and his work with students is a beautiful analogy for how we feel about working with each of you! It’s never boring, each person is unique, and it is a joy to do this work. Even when we are teaching the same framework of skills, each dance and dancer is completely unique and its own vibe. (Go check out some of his videos! It’s cool to observe) You are WORTH it šŸ’›

Sending this year off with a deep well of gratitude for the wonderful experiences, adventures, blessings, challenges, growth opportunities, and moments of peace that I was able to experience this past year. Now, time to reflect on what went well, learn insights and areas for further growth into the new year, and flex those muscles and pool all that energy into a spring and propel ourselves forward with INTENTION, clarity, honesty, humor, kindness, wisdom, passion, and a willingness to do the WORK of having good mental health! Yes, a healthy mind/body/spirit takes effort. Invest time, effort, and energy into getting to know YOU and who YOU are and want to be, then be the very best YOU today that you can with the resources you have today. (Notice I didn’t say perfect šŸ™ƒ) Rinse and repeat. That’s a great goal for 2026 for us all! We are WORTH it šŸ’›

HELL yeah! Goodbye 2025 and opening my arms wide to 2026!
I am grateful for the lessons, the scuffs, the wounds. I am grateful for the grit, the resilience, the wisdom, the strength, and the love. Life is a plate of it ALL. Not just what we want to eat, day in and day out…

It can be a plate of s**t.
It can be a plate of hope.
It can be a plate of worry and unknowns.
It can be a plate of JOY.

And… it ALL makes up this plate of life that gets served to us each year. Some parts we control. Some parts we don’t. It is all part of the journey.

Sometimes we smash a plate or two along the route.
Sometimes we are gifted a beautiful plate that is priceless and full of blessings and it renders us speechless.
Sometimes we are speechless because we are humbled by the enormity of what is on our plate. And sometimes… we take all the broken pieces of our plates and we make the most beautiful mosaic piece of art out of all of the little painful shards that originated from times we’d smashed our plates. Our pain turned into beauty- again. And it shows the strength of our spirit, the glory of our uniqueness, and the determination of our mind and body. Embrace. It. All.

So onward and forward I dance into 2026. This year I am committing to slowing down. I am working too many hours and I know that I have allowed myself to over-accommodate. I need to recenter and reset and tighten up my rails so that I can truly make this year the year that I want it to be. I love my job and I love the work that I do. I am forever humbled that I get the privilege of serving humans as my life’s work. Thank you to each and every one of my patient’s, consulting clients, and scuba clients. šŸ™ You are WORTH it šŸ’›

Happy holidays to all! The office is closed through the 2nd, and I will be returning the 3rd (yes, I’m working a Saturday šŸ™ƒ). Officially open for ā€œregularā€ hours on 1-5-26 at 5AM.

I continue to be a staunch advocate for being committed to providing the best quality care, efficiently, and with the patient leading the treatment process. I am passionate about what I do and every day I am mindful and purposeful about making a difference in this world. Every. Damn. Day!
That is my life’s mission! Make a difference- and leave this world and the people I encounter a little better because of the work I do. šŸ’› You are WORTH it šŸ’›

Onward and upward! Let’s bring on 2026!
