Just wrapped up the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies Conference 2026 () at the University of British Columbia () - also in one of the most beautiful cities in Canada: .

And as always, it did not disappoint - on so many levels!

There is a unique type of joy I get when I attend these conferences.
⚡ They reignite that curiosity I have for the field of psychology in its entirety.
🔥 The knowledge shared by experts in the field revive in me that fire to continue to learn and grow.
🥰 And above all, they remind me of how much I absolutely LOVE this work.

I don’t know if that kind of excitement makes me a nerd, lol. I know my sister will definitely say yes, but I don’t qualify as a nerd for my husband.

I was also happy to meet Adhm Zahran for round 2 after we first met in ’s conference 2025 in Banff. And I was SO PROUD to see what Moody Abdul has done with .ca - pure brilliance and an incredible addition for therapists and to the field of ! It was lovely catching up with you guys. Always nice to see some familiar faces!

One last thank you to CACBT- ACTCC for creating this enriching space and for the quality speakers you choose for us year after year. And thank you for making it IN-PERSON - Yes, PLEASE! I can’t wait for next year’s!

TLDR: I LOVE conferences! And I love how they are yet another source of confirmation that I sure am where I belong.

I’m here today not to share news, but to CELEBRATE with you this MASSIVE milestone and goal!

This is a journey that started more than 5 years ago with lots and lots of effort and dedication for the work that I do and the couples that I do this for!

- COUN 5315 Couples Therapy (Masters/Graduate course)
- Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training
- Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training
- Level 3 Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training
- The Gottman’s Institute Couples and Addiction Recovery Training
- The Gottman’s Institute Affairs and Trauma in Couples Training

All that just to QUALIFY for the certification track.

I was so blessed and HONORED to be under the guidance and mentorship of one of the greatest Couples Therapists in the field, Dr. Don Cole, the Clinical Director of the Gottman Institute. Having Don as my consultant made it an invaluable experience and journey, and I’m definitely a better couples therapist today because of him!

After 22 months in the certification track, I’m SO happy, excited, and proud to share that I am now officially a Certified Gottman Therapist by The !

I’m so thankful to everyone who supported me through that journey - especially my clients who have placed their trust in me and allowed me to pursue that goal!

I’m just so happy and grateful 🙏

This is for sure one for the books!

And this ... is yet another beginning for what comes next!

I had a time earlier in the year when words would just flow.

So I would open the camera and start talking.. Whatever felt like coming out at the time.. Whatever I wanted to share with the world.

But it wasn’t a time for “computer work.” I had no mental capacity to sit at my desk, edit, evaluate, and scrutinize the content. I wasn’t in that space. My mind was not in that cognitive flow.

So these videos never saw the light.

Today, my energy is shifting. I’m in a quieter space. I’m in a reflective space. I’m in a building space. Not a creative one.

When people ask me, “Why aren’t you making videos?” my answer is, “I have nothing to say.”

Because to me, it was never about content creation. It has always been, “I either have something to say and share with the world, so I do. Or I don’t, so I don’t.”

So today, I have the energy to look at these videos, to edit them, and to evaluate if that content is of essence, or some random word vomit. hashtag Some were good; Some were word vomit.

I’m sharing the ones worth sharing, and I’m calling them the 📖

I already shared the first one: When It's Black or White!

You’ll notice the shorter (and messier) hair. If you’ve followed my bad haircut journey, you’ll know the back story, lol.
If not, you can see Part 1 in the comments 👇

My camera and lighting were not the best, but the words came from the heart, and they truly wanted to be shared. So I’m choosing to let them fly out of the cage so that they resonate with those who need them. I know they’re out there somewhere :). And I see you, and these videos were made for you 💛

So stay tuned :)
