Me in session: *delivers the most profound, perfectly timed therapeutic insight of my career* ✨🧠

Me in supervision:

“…I don’t remember exactly what I said, but it was REALLY good.” 😭

Somewhere between the session and supervision, the clinical wisdom simply ✨left the chat✨.

Being “the strong one” can get really, really tiring. 🤍

Kate Beckinsale’s recent conversation about PTSD reminds us that someone can look like they’re functioning just fine — working, laughing, showing up, taking care of everyone else — and still be struggling internally.

Functioning ≠ unaffected.

Sometimes we don’t need to hear:
“You’re so strong.”

Sometimes we need:
“You don’t have to be strong right now. I’m here.”

Both resilience AND needing support can exist at the same time. 🦋

🎧 Sound on.

Take a moment to listen. 🌿

For this week’s Self-Care Sunday, we’re stepping outside.

“One of my favorite ways to care for myself is spending time in nature. For me, getting outside creates a little more space to breathe, notice, and just be.” - Allison Rivers, ASW

No productivity required.
No complicated routine.
Just a little time to breathe, notice, and reconnect with the world around you. 🍃

Maybe your self-care today is simply stepping outside for five minutes.

🦋 Save this Reel for a moment when you need a little pause.

So grateful to have attended this year’s EMDRIA Conference in Anaheim! 🙌

It was such a special weekend of learning, recharging, and meeting incredible healers from around the globe. 🌎 I especially loved sharing the experience with our Monarchs Therapy EMDR-trained therapists.

And an uber-special treat was attending the Latinx Therapists Network Meetup during the conference—it was so much fun! I even ended up on the bingo card… code word: gratitude. 😊 Such a fun moment and a beautiful reminder of the power of community and connection.

Leaving inspired, grateful, and already looking forward to next year!

The words you tell yourself matter.
The words you speak to others matter.

Words can heal, inspire, and uplift — but they can also hurt, discourage, and tear down.

Words matter. Choose kindness. 💚
