Ever been told to “just sit with it” in therapy and thought... absolutely not? 😅
What therapists actually mean is slowing down long enough to notice what’s happening instead of immediately trying to fix it, avoid it, or push it away.
Emotions aren’t problems to solve, they’re experiences to move through.
The goal isn’t to stay stuck in the feeling. It’s to help your nervous system learn that emotions, even the uncomfortable ones, can be felt safely without taking over.
💛 Healing isn’t about never feeling hard emotions. It’s about building the capacity to move through them.
Have you ever heard your therapist say, “Let’s sit with that?” Let me know what you thought they meant in the comments!

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Pride is a time to celebrate authenticity, diversity, resilience, and the freedom to be yourself. It is also a reminder that everyone deserves spaces where they feel safe, respected, and accepted for who they are.

You are seen.
You are valued.
You belong.

Happy Pride Month. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I wanted to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and comfortable — somewhere clients can feel safe to slow down, reflect, and be themselves. I’m incredibly grateful for this next chapter and look forward to continuing to support individuals here.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way 🤍

On International Women’s Day, I’m thinking about the strength it takes to simply be a woman in this world.

Strength doesn’t always look loud or fearless. Sometimes it looks like setting a boundary for the first time. Sometimes it looks like resting instead of pushing through. Sometimes it’s letting yourself feel the emotions you were taught to hide.

In therapy, I see women doing brave work every day, unlearning shame, reconnecting with their voices, and choosing themselves in ways they may never have been allowed to before.

Healing is not selfish. Taking up space is not too much. Your needs are not a burden.

Today is a reminder: you deserve safety, compassion, and a life that feels like your own.

To all the women doing the quiet, powerful work of healing…. I see you. 💛

Feeling so grateful 💛

A huge thank you to for welcoming me as I begin my yoga teacher journey. It means so much to be supported in these first steps of my teaching career.

And to everyone who came out to practice with me, thank you for showing up, sharing your energy, and trusting me to guide your practice. Your support made this experience incredibly special.

I’m really excited to continue interweaving yoga into my life as a therapist and to see all the meaningful places this path will lead ✨

Outside the therapy room 🤍

I’m a big foodie, especially when someone else is cooking. I love trying new places, lingering over meals, and fully believing food is one of life’s simple joys.

I need some form of movement every day, otherwise my body lets me know 😅 running, yoga, anything really, I can’t sit still for too long.

I will always order a chia latte if it’s on the menu (no hesitation).

And when I can plan my ideal morning, it is slow, quiet, and obligation-free, just space to ease into the day.

These little things help keep me grounded, present, and human, inside and outside the therapy room.

Checking your energy isn’t about fixing or judging yourself — it’s about noticing. Becoming aware of whether you’re pushing, people-pleasing, shutting down, or resting gives your nervous system information, not a demand for change. Awareness creates choice, and sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is simply name where you are today.

✨ Self-Compassion Journal Prompts

1. What is one emotion I felt today, and how can I meet it with kindness?
2. If I spoke to myself like a friend, what would I say right now?
3. What is one need I’ve been ignoring that deserves attention?
4. Where did I show strength today, even in small ways?
5. What is something I can let go of — even just a little — to ease my load?
