Depression often whispers: "if you can't do everything, it's not worth doing anything."

This is a lie. Doing things slowly still counts. Doing things late still counts. Doing things the best you can with what you have still counts. Keep going!

Boundaries aren't selfish, they're necessary!

This week in our Boundaries Series, we’re talking about why boundaries matter for your mental health and how to start setting them.

Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re not meant to shut others out—they exist to protect your well-being and promote healthy connections.

✨ November Series: Let’s Talk Boundaries ✨

Boundaries are an essential part of mental and emotional well-being, yet many of us struggle to define or maintain them.

This month, we’ll explore:
* What boundaries really are
* How to know when they’re needed
* Common challenges we face
* Practical ways to set and maintain them

Whether boundaries are brand new for you or an area you’re continuing to grow in, this series will offer gentle guidance, clarity, and encouragement. I invite you to follow along each week as we unpack this important topic together.

I’m deeply thankful for all the support I’ve received over the past year! It means so much. As my practice grows and changes, I’ll now be offering virtual sessions only and will no longer be holding in-person appointments.

I know starting therapy can bring on all sorts of feelings. But don't let it keep you from taking that first step!

Your first session will include a series of questions to confirm your information. Your therapist will provide you with the space to share what has brought your to therapy and ask questions to help your therapist understand what you have been going through and what you'd like to see change. You set the pace for your session. You decide how much you want to share and when you want to share it. The space is yours. Your therapist will provide you with scheduling options if you choose to schedule another appointment. There is no right or wrong way to have your first session.

We'd love to connect with you and offer you a space to be known and seen. Call or email us for an appointment today or you can visit our website to request for an appointment.
