Just as the title says... life CAN suck sometimes! Taking a second to acknowledge the suckiness, accept the suckiness, and then be kind to yourself in the process... well it makes things a bit more bearable.

You've got life handled, so you'll solve the next problem that comes your way. But give yourself permission to feel the distress. It's okay. And be nice to yourself.

(Hear that annoying hum in the background? Yeah, me too. I had my A/C on blast and my sound machine going as this was recorded so we have some great audio go...

Persevere! You’ve lived through all the other s**t life has thrown at you, so what makes you think you won’t get through the current struggle?
•
Believe in your strength and resilience because you’ve only gotten stronger through life’s struggles. You’re a more equipped warrior each time you face an obstacle. So keep going and you’ll make it!

(And then take a break and eat ice cream or something. You deserve that too.)

My latest blog post touches on something incredibly relatable and normal.

We place our self-worth on the things we can produce. The job we have. The money we make. The cake you bring to every party. The amount of hours you clean the house. The ability to multitask. And so on.

Those things mentioned above DO NOT equate to your self-worth.

Read my newest post about self-worth.

Spoiler alert: you are enough.

A therapist's treasured moment: the "a-ha moment." Oh it just gives me goose bumps thinking about it. When an "a-ha" moment occurs, it means, a) I clearly am su

What a great concept to have contributed to! This article is a nice, brief read that outlines why it's so important that we have a stable value system.

Our own personal values keep us within boundaries that we feel good about. Living by your value system feels congruent and comfortable. You set these "rules" for yourself and how awesome is that?! You get to live a life you feel content about.

The moment we go against our core values, we immediately feel that twinge of confusion or guilt or being unsettled.

Or maybe you struggle with what your value system even is! Maybe it started based upon your family's values, but that system doesn't seem to fit in your adulthood. That's normal. But difficult to navigate. Let me assist in that! Check out my website and see what you think!

We can work towards having a more solid value system that feels stable and good!

To create a healthy personal value system, you must evaluate the main areas of life: environment, career, fun, romance, personal growth, money, health, friends and family...

THIS is important.

This article speaks to so many women out there who are just trying to figure life out. Women who have parts of themselves squared away and yet feel like a total s**t show in other areas.

We all know these women. We are these women. The women who try and try, and still feel like they aren't getting anywhere.

This article is for you, the woman who is trying hard at life but seems to be faltering.

Here's the truth. You're not faltering. You're doing great. You're amazing and you have so many women who can relate. You are complex, unique, and talented.

Read the article and know you're not alone in feeling like you can't quite figure it out, but know that you ARE figuring it out and you're doing a damn good job of conquering the craziness of life.

She is almost every woman you know.

I bet quite a few people can relate to my latest blog post.

We've all been told, "you need to set better boundaries!" But what the heck does that even mean?

Take a couple minutes to look over the 4 types of boundaries (spoiler: physical, mental, emotional, material) and perhaps assess what your current boundaries are.

Often, if you're feeling resentful or bitter about something... most likely you have a boundary or two (or twelve) that have been crossed and you're not saying anything about it. And so the boundary continues to be crossed and you continue to be pi**ed forever and ever.

Okay well let's stop that Resentment Train and set some clear boundaries in your life, communicating to yourself and the people around you what goes and what doesn't.

Boundaries still seem like a struggle or you feel like an as***le setting them? Contact me and we can figure it out!

I imagine you've heard someone say to you, "you need to set some better boundaries," and you nod your head in agreement. And go on with your day. But what the h

Ah the famous therapy couch. I have clients ask me, “so should I lay down?” and most of the time it’s jokingly and a way to break the tension. Most people sit these days, but I’ve had a few people lay down. Mostly tired moms who need a moment to rest their tired bones... go for it momma! This is your time. ••
So what types of people have sat across from me on this couch?
• anxious college student looking to not be so fearful of normal college activities
• tired and guilt-ridden Mom who doesn’t take care of herself and feels guilty the rare time she does
• woman who sees herself absorbing everyone else’s feelings and issues, putting their needs in front of her own, and ultimately fracturing the relationships she has a death grip on
• person who grapples with their sexual identity and needs to process how they feel about it and also how the people around them feel about it
• woman who grew up in a dysfunctional household and finds herself searching for approval anywhere she can find it, except within herself
• person who has gone through a break-up that has them feeling shattered
• someone who excelled in school, but upon entering the “real world,” has zero idea where to go and what to do
• woman with some depressive moments that lead to distressing thoughts of wishing she wasn’t here anymore
• woman grieving the loss of a major figure in their life and learning how to function
••
This couch has seen and heard a lot of sadness, confusion, helplessness, anger, fear, exhaustion, and self-deprecation. It’s also experienced joy, laughter, relief, clarity, calmness, contentment, realization, and resilience. ••
Think of how you’re doing and what you need. There’s a therapy couch out there for you!
