There are people who don’t just influence your work…
they rewire the way you see humanity.

Today I’m holding the passing of Edith Eger with deep reverence.

As a therapist, she didn’t just teach me what to do…
she shaped how I sit with people.

She taught me that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—
it’s about gently, courageously helping someone remember that they were never broken to begin with.

That even in the aftermath of the unthinkable…
there is CHOICE.
There is meaning.
There is life.

She didn’t bypass pain.
She honored it—
and still insisted on the possibility of freedom.

And I think that’s what I carry into my room, every day.
A deep respect for the human spirit’s capacity to survive…
and then, slowly, to live again.

These words of hers will always be carried with me:

“The greatest prison people live in is the fear of what other people think.”

Thank you, Dr. Eger,
for the way you’ve shaped my presence,
my patience,
and my belief in what is possible for the people I sit with.

Your legacy lives in every moment of courage,
in every softened defense,
in every client who dares to feel… and still stay.

God Bless you Queen Edith!

Healing doesn’t always look like what we expect — sometimes it starts upside down 💛

It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper intro,
so here’s a little about me —
and what this space is really about 💭

This is my corner of the internet where psychology meets real life —
where I write about the beautiful, complicated business of being human.

I’m a therapist, mother, wife, and eternal student of both the mind and the heart.
A South African now living under Georgia skies,
a preacher’s kid turned counselor,
and a woman who believes our deepest feelings aren’t weaknesses —
they’re wisdom waiting to be heard. 🌿

I work with women — and with mothers of deeply feeling kids —
who experience life intensely,
sometimes too deeply for a world that doesn’t always know what to do with that.
The ones who feel deeply but often carry quietly.
This space is for you —
the deeply feeling, wildly capable women who are learning to soften without losing themselves. 💫

Outside the therapy room,
you’ll usually find me cooking something experimental,
laughing with my husband and kids,
overthinking life’s mysteries,
or re-reading the same paragraph of a good book because it hit too close to home 📖

I believe stories heal.
I believe in curiosity more than certainty.
And I believe in holding space for the parts of us that still feel unseen.

If something here resonates — share it, save it, or simply sit with it.
That’s connection enough for me 🤍

Here’s to feeling deeply, and living fully 🧡

Even though my location has changed, my commitment to hearts, healing and mental health remains unwavering…

A new chapter, a new therapy space, a new team

For all the years you carried me mom, I carry you still.
All the days of my life, I still will🖤
9 big years.
In the land of you, mom, we are brave and we are free… I wish you could see it, the way it’s meant to be…

As a therapist, there is no greater privilege than sharing and creating space with another. The complexity, fragility and magnificence of the human spirit requires witness. And witness is a precursor to 🧡

Self love. It’s the real deal.
Self love means not settling for anything less than you deserve. And each and every one of us is deserving and valuable…. Every single minute of every single day.
If you need to, read that again 🖤
