✨ Exciting News! ✨
I’m thrilled to share that I am now officially certified in Brainspotting — a powerful, brain-body therapy that helps process unresolved trauma, emotional blocks, and deeply held patterns with precision and compassion.

What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a neurobiological approach that uses specific points in your visual field to access where experiences are held in the brain and body. By combining mindful presence with the brain’s natural ability to heal, it allows for deep emotional release, increased regulation, and transformative change.

I’m excited to begin offering Brainspotting sessions in my practice for clients seeking a gentle, effective path toward healing and self-understanding.

If you’re curious about how Brainspotting might support you, feel free to reach out or schedule a session.

Here’s to continued growth, healing, and expanding what’s possible. 💫

This year has been epic for so many of us, in so many different ways. It is said it is a year of endings, of karmic completion; a year of shedding the old to make way for new beginnings. Do you feel this? Check out my blog on this below

There is something stirring in the world right now. You can feel it, can’t you? The world you were conditioned to adapt to is dissolving. And you are being called — not gently, but soulfully — to return to the truth inside your own body.

Love this 😀

Have you ever thought about the fact that all babies are born able to cry and inclined to do so fairly often? As we age, cultural messaging would have us believe that we are supposed to outgrow this biological release mechanism, but is that actually true? Or is the denial of crying really a cultural standard that harms us? I wrote a little blog about my thoughts regarding crying and the shame we feel about it.

I recently completed level 1 training in Brainspotting, a somatic intervention that integrated nicely into any trauma / psychotherapy model. I'm excited to be able to incorporate this into the work I am doing with clients.

When we go through difficult or traumatic experiences, the impact often lingers in ways we don’t always understand. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, body tension, or emotional triggers that feel “out of the blue.” Traditional talk therapy can be incredibly helpful, but words don’t always re...

Lately, I’ve felt it too — the heaviness. The ache of the world pressing in.

With so much violence, political chaos, and collective fear… it’s easy to feel like things are falling apart — both out there and inside us.

💔 If your nervous system feels on edge, if your heart feels raw, if your emotions feel big and unruly — you’re not broken. You’re human.

This is what happens when the world is on fire:
We feel it in our bodies.
We carry it in our hearts.
We try to hold it all — and it’s a lot.

But here’s the truth:
✨ Feeling your feelings doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise.
Your emotions are not enemies to be managed — they are alchemical messengers.

When we allow ourselves to unravel,
When we breathe through the heartbreak and the overwhelm,
When we stay with ourselves through the discomfort…

We transmute it.
We don’t bypass it — we integrate it.
This is how we adapt. How we grow. How we stay human in a world that often forgets how.

So if you’re feeling tender, reactive, numb, or cracked open —
Let it be sacred.
Let it move.
Let it teach you how to become even more of yourself.

🌿 This is emotional alchemy. And it’s allowed here.

🕊️ Tell me below — how are you really feeling right now?

In a world where traditional leadership often leans towards the aggressive and authoritative, the power of feminine energy in leadership is increasingly being recognized for its unique and transformative qualities. Embracing feminine energy in leadership is about fostering collaboration and connection rather than focusing on domination and delegation. This approach to leadership nurtures an environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and motivated to contribute their best.

Feminine energy in leadership emphasizes empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence. Leaders who embody these traits are adept at understanding the needs and motivations of their teams, creating a supportive atmosphere that encourages open communication and mutual respect. By prioritizing collaboration, these leaders inspire collective problem-solving and innovation, drawing on the diverse strengths and perspectives of their team members.

Ultimately, applying feminine energy to leadership is about redefining what it means to lead effectively. It's about shifting the focus from power and control to nurturing and empowering others. This is what we do as therapists, we walk beside you, helping you discover your true power and voice. You are the healer, we just help you find the way home - to yourself.

Devotion is a reflection of where we choose to invest our time and energy. Often, we are led to believe that our worth is tied to our accomplishments, possessions, and social standing. This mindset pushes us to constantly strive for more, thinking that these external validations will enhance our self-esteem. However, this pursuit can distract us from the true essence of our existence. We are not here to validate our worth through external achievements. Instead, it's important to remember that we are inherently perfect, just as we are. Embracing this understanding allows us to focus on what truly matters and find fulfillment in simply being.

The nervous system is a complex network vital for managing stress. It can become stuck in a sympathetic state, causing chronic stress and anxiety, or shift into a parasympathetic state, leading to dissociation or depression. These responses are natural survival mechanisms but can disrupt life when chronic. Be kind and listen to your body—it's not broken, just trying to survive.

✨ Sometimes we carry burdens that were never truly ours.
The expectations. The roles. The “shoulds” passed down by family, culture, or circumstance. We wear them like they belong to us, until they feel so heavy we forget they were never meant to be carried in the first place.

I know this deeply because I’ve lived it. For much of my life, I believed it was my job to manage other people’s emotions. I carried the weight of their moods, their comfort, their happiness—convinced that if I just pleased enough, gave enough, or kept the peace enough, everything would be okay.

But here’s the truth: those burdens were never mine. They were stories I picked up and held onto, until they became so familiar I thought they were part of me.

You don’t have to carry what was never yours to begin with.

Healing isn’t about taking on more—it’s about releasing what doesn’t belong to you. It’s about setting down the weight of other people’s feelings and remembering that your worth is not tied to how well you manage anyone else’s experience.

💜 Today, I invite you to notice what feels heavy and ask: Is this truly mine? Or have I been holding it because I thought I had to?

You are allowed to return it. You are allowed to be free.

I turn 49 today. i’m not sure how that’s possible- I feel somewhere between 16-30-something most of the time. Age is funny because we are told it’s something to fear, and yet as you experience it, it is rather liberating to realize i’ve been alive and have made it for almost half a century!

Today I spent the day meandering through a beautiful town in coastal Maine. How did I even get here?? I am full of gratitude. I’m proud of the girl that I was, she went through quite a bit to get here; I’m proud of the woman I am and am becoming. Nothing about me is perfect, including the relationship I have with myself but i’m really proud of the commitment I made to healing myself and loving myself through recovery and life many years ago, that commitment has brought me to where I am today. The relationship we have with ourselves is probably the most powerful and important relationship we will ever cultivate in this life. ❤️ May this be the best year yet. 😊🙌
