Alan and I had the blessing to share dinner with this wise and humble servant of Christ last night. Countless books written, 20 million copies of The Five Love Languages sold in 49 languages. And rather than tell us all about everything he has done at dinner, he wanted to know about our marriage and boys, my graduate school experience and past mentors, and some distinctives of intensives. So grateful to end The Marriage Collective at WinShape Retreat this morning learning from his wisdom that the most important “Where Do We Go From Here?” priorities are to walk and abide with Jesus, to always keep learning; to make our spouse our first priority, and to remember we only have our children for 18 years - so teach them to pray and build joyful and meaningful memories!! Thank you Dr. Gary Chapman for your investment in The Marriage Collective this weekend and the kingdom always - you embody your charge to us to “enjoy our ministry” through seeking and finding how to serve others and being faithful to the end!

Spending time outdoors with people we care about isn’t just enjoyable—it’s healing. 🌿☀️

Being in nature helps regulate our nervous system, reduce stress, and boost mood, while connection with loved ones gives us space to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Together, these moments create room for clarity, reflection, and emotional processing—often without needing to say a word. Healing doesn’t always happen in silence or solitude—sometimes it looks like a walk, a laugh, or just being present together.

🌷 Happy Mother’s Day 🌷

To every mother—biological, adoptive, spiritual, and mother-figures—you are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be exhausting, complicated, and often under-acknowledged. You carry so much: love, responsibility, worry, and sacrifice. Today, we honor both your strength and your softness.

At our practice, we know that being a mom doesn’t mean being invincible. Your mental and emotional health matters—not just for your family, but for you.

This Mother’s Day, give yourself permission to rest, to feel, and to receive support. You don’t have to do it all alone. 💛

Here for you—today and every day.

Grief and trauma often make the world feel heavy, isolating, and hard to navigate. In those moments, leaning on others isn’t a weakness—it’s a vital part of the healing process. 🤍

Whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional, connection offers safety, grounding, and the reminder that you don’t have to carry it all alone. Healing begins when we feel seen, supported, and allowed to process at our own pace. You deserve that space.

“The reality is that you will grieve forever... You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross & David Kessler

If you or someone you love is navigating loss or trauma, consider reaching out to our admin team to inquire about meeting with one of our therapists for additional support during this time.
