Mother's Day is this weekend. This day may be especially challenging if you do not have a healthy relationship with your mother, or if you struggle as a mother yourself. Reach out for a consultation and get started with therapy to process some of these challenges. I specialize in working with parental estrangement, intergenerational trauma, parental stress, single motherhood, and coparenting with narcissists. If these are situations you struggle with, I am happy to offer support. I offer tele therapy for residents in Kansas and Missouri and in-office therapy in Overland Park, KS.

Therapists need self-care, too. Admittedly, I try to cram as much of that into one day…one day to focus on myself instead of everyone around me. Today, that included getting a massage, grabbing coffee, buying a new book, meeting with my own therapist, and spending time reading before resuming the role of “mom”.

But, self-care doesn’t always look like this, and it doesn’t have to in order to make an impact. What does matter is being intentional about focusing on your needs: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. That looks different for everyone.

One of the biggest changes I’ve made this year so far is to return to my love of reading, and challenge myself to dedicate more time to books instead of binge watching tv or doom-scrolling social media.

Think about one change you can make to priority your mental health and overall wellbeing.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. day, let us remember the injustices he fought against and the humanity he fought for.

I love to create a vision board at the start of each year. Vision boards are a great way to visualize goals and/or intentions. Neuroscientist Tara Swart states that “a vision board primes the brain to grasp opportunities that may otherwise go unnoticed.” That is because when we look at images, our brain assigns value to them, and Swart adds “the more you look at an image, the more those images move up in importance.” This leads to the concept of manifestation.

You can create your own vision board using magazines, scrap paper, and a poster board, or use an online tool to search/paste images. Include images, words or quotes that are meaningful to you, or that you wish to manifest into your year ahead.

What would you include on your vision board?

If you've been considering therapy and want to focus more on your mental health, now is a great time to reach out!

I specialize in issues related to trauma (intergenerational trauma, relationship trauma, domestic violence, community trauma), depression, anxiety, and life stressors. My main goal working with clients is to help them regain a strong sense of self worth, set healthy boundaries, and take back power and control over their own life.

I offer sessions in person in Corporate Woods, or via Telehealth for clients living in Kansas or Missouri. Reach out to schedule a consultation!
