🤠 Yee haw!

Peek at little me, playing cowgirl and taking on the world. ❤️

Looking back, I see a little girl who was learning about herself, her relationships, and the world around her, just like all of us.

The child we once were doesn't disappear. We carry their joys, strengths, fears, and hurts into adulthood. Sometimes the challenges we face today in our relationships, self-worth, or emotional responses can be traced back to experiences from long ago.

Through inner child work, I help clients reconnect with those younger parts of themselves, heal old wounds, and move forward with greater self-compassion, clarity, and confidence.

What would you tell your younger self today? ❤️

Therapy is kind of insane when you think about it.

You sit across from a stranger and tell them things you’ve never told anyone.

You cry in front of someone you’ve known for an hour.

You spend years being angry at your partner, your boss, your friends, only to realize it was never about them. It was about something much older. A wound you’ve been carrying since childhood.

You start seeing patterns in your life that, once noticed, can’t be unseen. Maybe you realize you’re a people pleaser. Or that you’re hyper-independent. Or that the same dynamic keeps repeating in different disguises.

You leave a session completely wrecked, completely relieved, or somehow both at once.

You cancel plans because a breakthrough hits you in your car and suddenly the rest of the day can’t happen.

And then, against all logic, this strange, uncomfortable process becomes one of the most honest relationships you’ve ever had.

Therapy is strange.

And it changes everything.

Sounds of a Session

I thought I'd be further along by now.
Some days are heavier than others.
I'm learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings.
I laughed today and I actually meant it.
The urges passed and I didn’t drink.
I asked for help.
Progress isn't perfect, but it's happening.
I'm still here.

Real words. Real resilience. Real recovery.

A glimpse into what healing can sound like in therapy.

Why Sunlight Matters for Your Mental Health
It’s more powerful than you think…

Boosts your mood by increasing serotonin (your “feel-good” chemical)
Helps regulate your sleep so you feel more rested
Can reduce symptoms of seasonal depression
Improves focus and mental clarity
Supports vitamin D production (linked to better mood)
Encourages you to get outside and stay active
Helps lower stress levels

Even just 10–30 minutes of sunlight a day, especially in the morning can make a real difference in how you feel.
Sometimes the simplest things really are the most powerful 👊 now get your ass outside.

Given the current political climate, this feels important to say:
Childhood sexual abuse doesn’t just live in the past, it shapes the nervous system, relationships, self-worth, and a person’s sense of safety for years to come.
And when survivors watch their abusers go on untouched, it can deepen feelings of powerlessness, shame, anger, and injustice.

So let this be a reminder:
Believe survivors.
Stop minimizing “old” trauma.
Break the silence.
Hold individuals and systems accountable.
Silence protects abusers.
Accountability protects children.

I carry other people’s ashes in my hands.

This poem is for therapists, caregivers, and anyone who holds space for others’ pain while carrying their own.

Your anxiety is not the problem.
Your war with anxiety is.
When we stop treating anxiety like an enemy and start seeing it as a messenger, it loses its power. It becomes information instead of a threat.
You can feel anxious and still be safe.
You don’t have to fight your nervous system to heal.
