The Target Starbucks barista wrote “stay safe” on my cup and instead of thinking “aww, how nice,” I spent my entire Target trip wondering if it was a warning and refused to drink my coffee until I got home. ☕️😂

A tiny reminder that slowing down counts too 🐦✨

Refilling the bird feeders has become one of those little rituals that pulls me out of my head and back into the moment.
No productivity. No pressure. Just caring for something small and letting that be enough for today.

Sometimes healing looks less like “doing more” and more like noticing the quiet things around you. 🌿

Me and my clients: processing emotions, healing our relationships with our bodies…
and eating snacks when we’re hungry because exposure therapy shouldn’t include ignoring basic human needs ☕️🍿

A huge part of healing is rebuilding body trust — learning to listen to body cues instead of overriding them. Hunger, thirst, fatigue, needing a break… those aren’t distractions from healing, they’re part of it.

I also think there’s value in modeling that in the therapy room. Meeting our bodies’ needs without shame, apology, or pushing through sends the message that care doesn’t have to be earned 🤍

Bird watching 🐦‍🔥

There’s a specific kind of shame that comes with migraines.

The kind where you feel like you have to prove you tried hard enough—
that you took the meds, drank the water, did everything ‘right.’

And still… you’re here.

I see this feeling show up in therapy all the time too—
especially with chronic illness and invisible struggles.

The fear of being misunderstood.
Of not being believed.
Of it somehow being your fault.
But needing support doesn’t mean you failed. And not everything that impacts you is something you can control.

Some things are real, even when they can’t be seen.

✨ Meet Julie ✨

We’re so excited to introduce Julie, a therapist at our practice who brings a deeply compassionate, relational approach to her work with clients.

Julie specializes in working with teens and adults navigating:
• Trauma (including childhood, relational and sexual trauma)
• Emotional abuse and neglect
• Interpersonal and relationship challenges
• Enmeshment and people-pleasing patterns
• Perfectionism

Her work is grounded in helping clients better understand their experiences, build healthier relationships, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.

Julie creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely human—while still helping clients gently work through the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

If you’ve been looking for a therapist who truly gets the complexity of relationships and trauma, Julie may be a great fit 🤍

We’ve been taught to compliment how people look…
but the things that actually stay with us are how we make people feel.

The way someone shows up.
The way they listen.
The way they care.

Those are the compliments that land deeper—and last longer.

Start noticing those. Start saying those. 🤍

There was a time I thought I was behind…
watching everyone else move faster, do more, be more.

But comparison will drain you faster than anything.

I’m not in competition with anyone else anymore.
Not their timeline. Not their success. Not their life.

It’s me vs me.
Growing, evolving, and showing up a little stronger every day.

And honestly…
little me would be so proud 🤍

Supporting someone with an eating disorder can feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes even scary.

There’s no perfect script—but there are ways to show up that help instead of harm.

Your role isn’t to fix them.
It’s to be a safe place in a world that often reinforces the disorder.

Consistency > perfection 🤍
