So many people move through life feeling like they have to edit themselves to be accepted. Smaller. Quieter. Less emotional. Less expressive. Less visible.

I know what it’s like to survive by shrinking parts of yourself. I also know how powerful it can be to begin unlearning shame and reconnecting with who you actually are underneath fear, conditioning, survival, and expectation.

Therapy isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating space for honesty, healing, self-expression, deeper relationships, and a life that actually feels like your own.

There’s something really special about finding pieces of art that make you stop in your tracks. I saw this painting at the Soumaya Museum and immediately felt drawn to it…

One of the things I’ve been loving most about this new chapter in Mexico City is how deeply art, history, culture, and everyday life exist together here. Even in the middle of a random afternoon, you can stumble into something that moves you, inspires you, or reminds you to slow down and actually feel something.

Still settling in, still learning the city, still finding my rhythm… but moments like this make it all feel very real in the best way.

As a therapist and a huge horror fan, I can confirm that some of the scariest things aren’t always in movies. Sometimes they sound more like:

“I’m fine.”
“I’ll rest next week.”
“I don’t want to be a burden.”
Or convincing yourself a red flag is just “chemistry.” 😭👻

Honestly, a lot of us were taught how to survive, over-function, stay busy, avoid slowing down, or keep everything together before we were ever taught how to actually rest, feel safe, or ask for support. And as humans, many of us, myself included, still fall into those patterns sometimes.

That’s part of why this trend is funny and relatable. Humor gives us a way to look at the very human things we all experience with a little less shame and a little more compassion.

So here’s your reminder that needing rest, support, boundaries, softness, joy, or reassurance does not make you weak. It makes you human. 🖤

As a therapist, one thing I’ve learned over the years is how emotionally layered this day can be for so many people. For some, it’s joyful and full of love. For others, it can bring grief, distance, disappointment, longing, resentment, gratitude, tenderness… or all of those feelings at the same time.

I’ve personally had a complicated relationship with my own mom, and I think that’s why I’ve become more aware of how much pressure people feel to flatten their experiences into something easier to digest. But mental health and healing don’t usually work like that. Human relationships are nuanced. Family systems are nuanced. Emotions are nuanced.

Sometimes healing looks like reconnecting. Sometimes it looks like boundaries. Sometimes it looks like grieving the relationship you wish you had while still appreciating what did exist. And sometimes it simply looks like allowing yourself to feel honestly without guilt or shame.

I also want to acknowledge the people spending today grieving mothers they’ve lost, navigating infertility, estrangement, complicated family dynamics, motherhood exhaustion, or inner child wounds that still ache this time of year. Your experience matters too.

Wherever this day finds you, I hope you allow yourself softness, honesty, and compassion. There’s no “correct” way to feel today. 🤍

Life has felt a little slower lately… in the best and hardest ways. A new home, slowing down, walking new streets, and finding comfort in a good cup of coffee. ☕️ All while going through the grief that comes with change (even when it’s good).

There’s been a lot of reflecting, adjusting, resting, wandering, and trying to stay present through all the change. I think sometimes we forget that rebuilding your sense of home… even when it’s something you wanted… still takes energy, patience, and grace with yourself.

Sending love to anyone else navigating transitions right now. I hope you’re finding little moments of peace, good conversations, places that make you feel safe, and reminders that slower doesn’t mean stagnant.

Trans Day of Visibility

I’ve spent a lot of my life navigating spaces where I didn’t fully see myself reflected back.

Where parts of me made sense… and other parts didn’t seem to “fit” in the ways people expected.

And if I’m being real… there were times it felt easier to shrink, to simplify myself, to be understood… even if it meant not being fully seen.

But that comes at a cost.

As a gender q***r person, my relationship to visibility hasn’t always been loud or linear. It’s been layered. It’s been evolving. It’s been deeply personal.

And right now, in a world where trans and gender diverse people are being questioned, debated, and targeted… choosing to exist as you are is not small. It’s not casual.

It’s powerful.

From a mental health perspective, I see this every day in my work.

When people have to hide parts of themselves to feel safe, it creates disconnection… internally and relationally.

But when there’s even a little more room to be authentic, something shifts. There’s more grounding. More self-trust. More ease in the body.

That doesn’t mean visibility is always safe. Or accessible. Or the “right” choice for everyone.

And I want to be clear about that, you don’t owe the world your visibility to be valid.

Some people are visible.
Some people are surviving.
Some people are still figuring it out.

All of that deserves respect.

Today, I’m thinking about the people who came before us, who made it possible for me to even have the language to describe myself.

And I’m thinking about the people right now who are still searching for that reflection, that permission, that sense of “oh… there’s space for me too.”

There is.

Whether you’re loud about who you are or holding it close to your chest… you deserve to exist without having to explain yourself.

And if being visible feels right for you right now, I see you.

I got my new passport today and had to pause for a second. I didn’t realize how much I had changed over the years. I turn 40 in June and I’ve been reflecting ALOT on my life recently.

I couldn’t help but keep looking at the old photo of myself, not because of how I looked, but because of everything that version of me was carrying.

The pressure to fit in.
The fear of being seen.
The constant negotiation between who I was and who I thought I had to be.

And now?

I don’t shrink. I don’t edit myself down. I don’t ask for permission to exist as I am.

Growth isn’t always loud, but it’s undeniable when you look back.

This isn’t just a new passport…
it’s a reminder of how far I’ve come.

And if you’re in the middle of your own becoming, keep going.

You’re not the same person you used to be… and that’s the point.

Excited to keep growing, changing, and becoming. Many big changes this year and I’m ready to embrace them all
