I think the modern woman is allowed to be more than one thing.
She can be accomplished and still be learning herself. She can lead and still need support. She can care deeply for other people without disappearing from her own life. She can build a career, raise a family, change direction, protect her peace, speak up, and still leave room for joy.

That is part of what made being included in Modern Luxury’s Dynamic Women 2026 feature meaningful to me.

My work has taken me into therapy rooms, classrooms, business ownership, leadership, advocacy, and spaces I once could not have imagined growing up in Tupelo, Mississippi. None of those roles require me to become a different woman. They are simply different expressions of who I already am.

Maybe that is what feels most modern to me.

Not trying to fit into one definition of womanhood.
Having the freedom to write your own.

I didn’t grow up saying I wanted to be a psychologist.

For a long time, I was convinced I was going to be an attorney. I joined debate. I had the plan in my head. Then I got to college, sat in political science classes, and thought, absolutely not.

Psychology was different.

I had always been the kid asking why. Why do people think the way they do? Why do they make certain choices? Why do some experiences change people while others seem to strengthen them?

Then there was my father, a Vietnam Veteran. I grew up seeing that military experience did not simply end when he came home. I wanted to understand that too.

Psychology gave me somewhere to put that curiosity.

Years later, I still get to ask the same questions. The difference is now those questions help people understand themselves a little better too.

The appointment may end with a diagnosis, treatment plan, or list of next steps. But the emotional adjustment often continues long after you leave the office.

Chronic health conditions can affect your energy, relationships, routines, responsibilities, plans, and even the way you feel about your body. Those changes deserve space too.

New Way Psychological Services is offering a 12-week virtual Chronic Conditions Support Group for people navigating the emotional and everyday impact of long-term health conditions.

The group will explore grief, body trust, self-compassion, communication, relationships, values, and ways to move forward without pretending the experience is easy.

Starts September 4, 2026
Fridays | 5:30–6:45 PM
5-8 participants | $50 per session
Facilitated by Eryn Dorsey

I trained at places like Vanderbilt and Baylor, and I kept running into the same thing. Women who looked like me, who needed care, and just couldn't find themselves in the room. That gap is the actual reason New Way exists. Not a business plan. A gap I got tired of watching people fall into. These days I get to build the team that fills it, clinicians I trust with my own reputation, trained the way I would've wanted to be met back then. We're taking new clients right now, and if that gap sounds familiar to you, we're here.

"Everyone deserves quality mental health care — but not everyone has the same opportunity to receive it." That's the reality behind National Minority Mental Health Month, and why this conversation matters. Grateful for the platform to speak on it.

There is a difference between being needed and being overused.

Being needed can feel meaningful. It can affirm your role at work, inside your family, or among friends. But when everyone knows you will rearrange your life, solve the problem, and absorb the inconvenience, helpfulness can quietly become an expectation.

Then the first time you say no, people act confused.

Let them be confused.

You are allowed to change an arrangement that keeps working for everyone except you. You can still be loving without being endlessly available. You can care about the outcome without making every part of it your responsibility.

A boundary does not erase the relationship. It gives the relationship a better chance of surviving your honesty.

You may have to relearn how to enjoy time that produces nothing.

No networking. No errands disguised as self-care. No activity that secretly became another goal to accomplish.

Just joy.

That sounds simple until you realize how uncomfortable stillness can feel when your identity has been built around being useful. Some people cannot sit down without remembering what else needs to be done. Others turn every interest into a side business before they have even decided whether they like it.

Leave something untouched by productivity.

Take the class because it looks fun. Read the book slowly. Go somewhere without needing content from it. Let one part of your life exist without proving its value.

Restoration does not always arrive wearing a wellness label.

You walk in the house. Somebody asks a simple question and, for reasons that have almost nothing to do with them, the question gets on your last nerve.

That moment is worth studying.

Maybe work got too much access to you. Maybe you agreed to one thing too many. Maybe you have been holding your tongue all day, and home is the first place your body feels comfortable enough to let the frustration out.

Comfort is not permission to be careless with people.

Before deciding everybody in the house is irritating, step outside yourself for a minute. What happened today? What are you still carrying? What should have been addressed hours ago with a boundary instead of being delivered later through your tone?

The people closest to you should not become the landing place for everything you refused to deal with elsewhere.

Get honest. Then make an adjustment.

I was supposed to be an attorney.

At least, that was the plan when I was nine years old. I joined the debate team in high school, went to Grambling thinking I would study political science, and then got into class and realized I could barely stay awake.

I said, this is not going to work.

Psychology was different. I have always been curious about people. I want to know why we think the way we do, why we repeat certain patterns, and what finally helps us change. That curiosity eventually led me to become a licensed psychologist and open New Way Psychological Services in Houston.

Today, I work with people dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, major life changes, and the pressure of holding everything together. I also support therapists who are learning how to build and grow private practices of their own.

If you are reading this, know that I am glad we are connected.

The hardest part of grief is not always the first few days. Sometimes it is what happens later, when the calls slow down and everyone else seems to return to normal.

You are still carrying the absence into ordinary moments. A song catches you off guard. You reach for the phone before remembering. You smile in a room and feel guilty because part of you is still somewhere else.

Grief can make life feel divided into two worlds: the one everyone sees and the one you are quietly trying to survive.

Our grief therapy group offers a place where you do not have to explain why it still hurts or pretend you are further along than you are. The group is led by Eryn Dorsey, LCSW-S, whose hospice experience shaped her deep commitment to supporting people through loss with compassion and practical guidance.

You are not expected to leave your grief at the door. You are invited to bring the truth of it into a room where others understand.

Next group starts next week.
