✨ Welcome to my little corner of Sacramento! Here is a little tour of where healing, conversations that matter, and growth happens.

Therapists, we need community, and I’m here for it! After sharing about the monthly Coffee meet up last month I had over 40 requests for information and for the link to RSVP, my office hold between 10-12 people last month we had 17 and some last minute cancellations. I’m very excited about how many people resonated with the intention of the group and now I’m gonna manifest a bigger office so EVERYONE can join 😆

A look at my week as a therapist in private practice:
11 individual sessions
4 couples sessions
1 adult family therapy session
Friday (hasn’t happened yet) Host Monthly Therapist Coffee Hour

Every day looks a little different, and that’s one of my favorite parts.

This weekend at Esther Perel’s Sessions Live, I found myself reflecting deeply on survival, desire, intimacy, and aliveness.

As a therapist, I’m deeply interested in how generational trauma and systemic oppression shape our relationship with ourselves, our bodies, and our capacity for connection, joy, and pleasure.

One line that stayed with me from Ruth Cohn’s session on neglect and desire:
“When desire doesn’t learn to speak.”

So many people learned how to survive before they ever learned how to notice or ask for what they want, need, or long for.

Healing is not only about reducing symptoms, it’s also about reconnecting to our humanity and our aliveness. ✨

If someone’s existence feels debatable to you, that is YOUR work.

This moment is activating for many of us, especially BIPOC, q***r, immigrant, and first-gen folks.

Not because we’re fragile or regressing, but because trauma isn’t only historical. It’s living.

Even when we’re “safe on paper,” the body remembers what our families survived and what was required to keep going.

This clip from my conversation with Sofia Mendoza names what it can feel like to hold collective trauma while still showing up to care for others. We had this conversation back in August, and I heard it today for me, and I want to share it with you as we live thru the times.

Let the video land. Take what resonates. And notice what your body is asking for as you watch.

Listen to Season 2 Episode 1 to catch the full conversation. DM me EPISODE and I’ll send you the direct link.

I’m not a fan of crowds.
My anxiety flares up.
My hypervigilance gets activated.
My survival brain wants to run.

Last night, I needed something different.

I took my breaths.
I stretched.
I got off my phone.
And still, I felt uneasy.

So I listened to that unease instead of fighting it.

I remembered that survival patterns are responses to time, place, and power.
That what helped me survive before may not be what I need now.

In this moment, what I needed wasn’t retreat.
It was connection.
Witnessing.
Being in my body with others who were also choosing to show up.

Just to remember I don’t do this alone.

I just got to my office to start my therapy day, and this is heavy on my heart.

Today’s news has left me sitting with shock, disbelief, and grief. Moments like this remind me how deeply the world we live in and the work we do as therapists are intertwined. There is no clean separation between “out there” and “in here.” Our clients bring the world into the room, and so do we, whether we name it or not.

If you’re feeling unsettled, angry, scared, numb, or all of it at once, it makes sense. These moments land in our bodies, our nervous systems, our histories. They don’t pause just because we have a session to show up for.

This is why care matters. Rest, grounding, community, and support are not luxuries. They’re what allow us to stay human, present, and connected, for ourselves and for those we care for.

I want to gently encourage you to talk to your therapist about how current events are impacting you, and how the world you move through informs your healing. Therapy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Neither do we.

Holding space today with tenderness, honesty, and a lot of care.

I’m holding so much gratitude as I reflect on 2025.

For the clients who trusted me, the colleagues and friends who walked alongside me, the conversations that changed me, and the moments that reminded me why I do this work.

This year held a lot. Joy, grief, adventure, loss, growth, exhaustion, meaning and love. I adjusted to meet my capacity, my strengths, and my energy, and I kept showing up, removed what was unnecessary, noticed when my body and heart asked for gentleness, Im so proud of myself for not overstretching even when I felt I was falling behind.

As I step into 2026, I’m choosing intention over urgency. There is more to come, but it doesn’t all have to come today or in January.

I’m honoring my winter pace over rushing ahead. Trusting that rest, reflection, and integration are part of sustainability, not a pause from it.

Thank you to everyone who shared space with me this year. I carry your stories, your laughter, your wisdom, and your care with deep respect.

Looking forward to meeting some of my new favorite people this year. 🤍

Why does choosing yourself feel so hard?

In this clip, names something so many of us carry, the guilt that comes with saying no, setting boundaries, or doing what feels right for you.

Especially if your whole identity was built around your family role.

Oldest daughters. People pleasers. First gens. Caregivers.
We weren’t taught to choose ourselves.
We were taught to endure.

But healing means building tolerance for the discomfort of disappointing others.

And realizing that you are not wrong for wanting something different.
