Yesterday was Mother’s Day, and it doesn’t feel like a coincidence that it falls in the same month as Mental Health Awareness Month.

Because moms’ mental health is often the quiet piece of the conversation that gets overlooked.

Motherhood can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be overwhelming, isolating, exhausting, and emotionally complex in ways that aren’t always visible from the outside. Many mothers are carrying anxiety, depression, postpartum changes, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the constant pressure of being “everything for everyone.”

And even on a day meant to celebrate them, so many mothers are still pushing through without real support—because they feel like they’re supposed to be okay.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that maternal mental health matters far beyond one day of recognition. From early parenting to raising teens to caregiving later in life, moms deserve space to not just function, but to feel supported, seen, and cared for.

Struggling doesn’t make someone a bad mother. It makes them human in a role that asks a lot.

If anything, this month gently underscores a truth we don’t say enough: moms deserve care too. Not only when they reach a breaking point, but long before it.

Because when a mother’s mental health is supported, everyone around her benefits.

✨❤️ I had the absolute honor of meeting on Friday, and I’m still sitting with how meaningful that moment was.

My sister captured this candid moment of us talking, and I wanted to share a little of what I was telling her. In my work, I walk alongside women in some of their most vulnerable seasons. At the end of many visits, there’s a quiet 10–15 minutes where I’m finishing notes, putting in orders, and processing everything they’ve shared—and I often play Franni’s music. I talk with my patients about it, about how healing it feels and how it reminds us we’re not alone.

Her willingness to share her story and turn pain into something that helps others feel seen is so powerful.

She’s someone we can look up to—and someone our daughters can look up to too.

Thank you, Franni, for showing up so honestly and for helping women feel seen, understood, and less alone. What you’re doing matters more than words can express.

We are all in this together.

“It’s not about proving a point, it’s about loving people.” ❤️✨

There’s something I’ve been sitting with as a mental health provider and I want to share it with the women I work with and honestly with any woman who might need to hear it.

I hear this often in my patients and it worries me so I felt the need to get this message out there.

We are living in a time where comparison is constant, access is instant, and everyone’s life feels like it’s on display. And slowly, without even noticing it, we can start to drift away from our own lives while staying overly connected to everyone else’s.

Please consider spending less time on social media and more time in what is right in front of you.

Not everything needs to be posted. Not every moment needs to be captured, edited, and shared. The pressure to document your dinner, your outfit, your night out, your productive day, your body, your faith, your home, turning real life into content, can quietly take something important away from you, presence.

The need to post what you did last night or prove you had a good time is not as harmless as it seems. Over time it can shift how you experience your own life. Instead of being in the moment you start asking, Is this worth posting, does this count if no one sees it.

That is not presence. That is performance.

And while all of this is happening, social media continues to show us curated highlights, filtered bodies, perfect homes, aesthetic routines, polished spirituality, effortless success. But that is not real life. Even when it is not fake, it is still only a fragment. It leaves out the burnout, the stress, the loneliness, the messy middle, and the parts that do not get posted.

Yet we compare our full, unfiltered lives to someone else’s highlight reel.

It is no wonder so many women feel like they are falling behind, not enough, or constantly trying to fix themselves, lose more weight, buy more things, be more organized, be more spiritual, be more everything.

But you do not need to shrink yourself to be worthy. You do not need to perform a perfect life to be valued. And you do not need to earn rest, joy, or peace through visibility online.

What I want for you is simpler than what the algorithm is selling you.

I want you to eat your meal without photographing it.
To sit with your friends without thinking about the caption.
To go for a walk and actually feel the air, not just record it.
To live your moments instead of constantly turning them into content.

Your life is not a brand. You are not content.

And the more time you spend rooted in what is actually in front of you, the more grounded, calm, and connected you tend to feel.

You are allowed to have a life that is not always being watched.

And you are still enough in it.

And I pray more women start to wake up and see this.

I realized this morning that I haven’t posted in a while—and it’s because I’ve been busy doing what I love: caring for my patients!

I woke up to a kind Google review today, and it was a great reminder of why I do this work. I strive to treat every patient like family—with compassion, respect, and individualized care.

It’s truly an honor to walk alongside people in their mental health journeys. 💛

I am currently still accepting new patients!! Once I reach patient capacity, I will pause accepting new patients to ensure I can continue providing the highest level of care—so if you’ve been thinking about becoming a patient, please give me a call!

*Please note while I specialize in seeing women, I have helped men as well. *

March 1st 💛

There’s a lot that feels unpredictable right now in the world. It’s okay if you’ve felt it. The tension. The uncertainty. The mental fatigue.

But a new month is a quiet reminder that we still get to choose how we show up in our own lives.

You can protect your peace.
You can step back from the noise.
You can build small routines that make your home feel steady.

Not everything is within our control. But your nervous system still matters. Your boundaries still matter. Your energy still matters.

Go into March focusing on what you can nurture, what you can strengthen, and what you can let go of.

Calm doesn’t come from the world settling down.
It comes from deciding you don’t have to carry all of it. 💛

Saturday Morning Thoughts ☀️

Social media makes “busy” feel normal.

I get it — some weekends are packed with activities. Mine are too sometimes.

But there’s something special about the no-plan weekends.

Slow mornings.
Something baking in the oven.
A walk in the sun.
Coffee sipped, not rushed.
Cleaning and organizing because it feels grounding.
Conversations that linger, without the clock ticking.

Slowness isn’t lazy.
It resets your nervous system.
It reconnects you — with yourself, your kids, your loved ones.

There are a lot of us choosing calm on purpose.
Not because we can’t do busy,
but because we understand what peace does for mental health.

As a mental health provider, I encourage you to embrace simplicity for your nervous system. 💛

Enjoy your weekend!

☀️ Vitamin D and mental health matter — which is why I always check it.

One of the most common things I see in practice?
Low vitamin D levels — and most patients have no idea until I check.

It’s often not included in routine labs. And while reference ranges typically list “normal” as 30–100 ng/mL, many people — especially here in the Midwest with long winters and limited sun exposure — run on the lower end.

Research shows that low vitamin D levels are linked to an increased risk of depressive symptoms in adults, and correcting deficiencies can improve mood and energy (Mo et al., BMC Psychiatry, 2023).

Vitamin D receptors are present in areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Low levels have been associated with:

• Depressive symptoms
• Increased anxiety
• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Immune dysregulation
• Chronic inflammation

In my clinical experience, many patients feel best when their levels are closer to 40–70 ng/mL — not just barely above 30.

And sometimes, when we correct a deficiency, there is a noticeable shift in mood, clarity, and energy.

You can be doing the therapy.
Taking the medication.
Working on yourself.

But if your body is depleted, it matters.

I look at all of it.

If you see me for a mental health condition, you won’t have to ask me to check your vitamin D — it’s part of a comprehensive evaluation.

Because mental health is biological, too. ☀️

If you’re ready for care that looks deeper, and live in Indiana, let me know! Call for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
