Relationship Solutions Center, P.C. is growing and hiring!

I’m currently looking for a warm, collaborative therapist to join my practice in Schaumburg, IL. This is a part-time position with the opportunity to grow over time.

The practice works with adults and couples navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, life transitions, divorce, coparenting dynamics, and personal growth concerns. In addition to therapy services, I also provide collaborative divorce work, coparenting therapy, and parenting coordination.

I’m especially hoping to find someone who values authenticity, meaningful connection, emotionally attuned work, growth, healthy communication, and work-life balance. Both experienced clinicians and early-career therapists working toward licensure are encouraged to apply.

Flexible scheduling, mentorship/support, W-2 employment, and growth opportunities are available.

Please feel free to share this post or reach out directly if someone comes to mind or if you’d like additional information.

Thank you for helping me continue building a thoughtful and supportive practice community. 💛

Last night I finished reading "The Woman They Could Not Silence" by Kate Moore Author and am honestly stunned that I had never learned about Elizabeth Packard.

As a psychologist practicing in Illinois, it feels especially striking that I went through graduate school and built a career in mental health without ever hearing her story.

In the 1860s, Elizabeth Packard was institutionalized (at the Illinois Hospital and Asylum for the Insane in Jacksonville, Illinois) by her husband for disagreeing with him intellectually and religiously. At that time, married women had virtually no legal protections, and a husband could commit his wife to an asylum without trial or meaningful evaluation.

What followed was extraordinary.

Rather than being broken by the experience, Packard became an advocate for the rights of women and people living with mental illness. She exposed abusive conditions in psychiatric institutions and helped influence the passage of 34 laws across multiple states related to patients’ rights, due process protections, and women’s legal rights. Her advocacy contributed to reforms requiring evidence and legal review before psychiatric commitment.

Reading her story is both inspiring and deeply unsettling. It is a reminder that mental health systems, like all systems, exist within cultural power structures and are capable of both healing and harm.

Mental Health Awareness Month is not only about reducing stigma. It is also about remembering the history of our field, listening to marginalized voices, and continuing to advocate for dignity, autonomy, and ethical care.

Elizabeth Packard deserved to be remembered.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and in our work, we see every day how deeply mental health impacts our relationships, our self-worth, and our overall quality of life. 💚

At the heart of healing isn’t just symptom relief—it’s learning how to feel more connected:
• to yourself
• to your emotions
• and to the people who matter most

That’s why I’m sharing this “31 More Good Days Together” calendar from Mental Health America. It’s filled with simple, meaningful daily practices that support emotional awareness, connection, and self-care.

These aren’t overwhelming changes—they’re small, intentional steps:
✨ Noticing what brings you joy
✨ Reaching out instead of withdrawing
✨ Treating yourself with the same compassion you offer others

In therapy, we often focus on building these exact skills—because lasting change happens through consistent, manageable shifts over time.

👉 I encourage you to save this calendar and choose just one day to begin. You don’t have to do all 31 days perfectly to benefit.

If this month brings up something for you, support is available—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’m so excited to share what I’ve been working on lately!

I’ve been pouring my energy into Martha Kauppi’s Assessing and Treating S*x Issues in Psychotherapy (ATSIP) training. Because Martha and I both share a foundation in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, her approach feels like a natural (and brilliant) next step for my practice.

We’ve been diving deep into:

Setting autonomous goals
Assessing the nuances of desire, arousal, and or**sm
Navigating libido and satisfaction
The essential work of consent and willingness

I’m already seeing the impact of these strategies, and I cannot wait to learn the rest of the curriculum. If you’re a client or a colleague, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how vital this intersection of s*x therapy and relational work is!

Grateful to have found Martha through my ongoing training with The Couples Institute.

Thank you of The Couples Institute, for your generosity in offering your free workshop today about "Therapy in the Age of Dysregulation."

I am excited to continue learning with you.

Grateful to PESI for offering the free Polyvagal Practice Summit today and tomorrow! I’m excited to learn from so many wonderful professionals about how somatic and sound-based therapies can support nervous system regulation.

Over the past year, I’ve been intentionally deepening my integration of brain science into my mental health practice. This work continues to show its value—especially in helping clients navigating insecure attachment, trauma, and neurodiversity, including sensory processing differences.

Always inspired to keep growing alongside my clients and colleagues. 🌿

💬 How do you and your partner make decisions?
It’s not just what you decide—it’s how you decide that shapes the health of your relationship.

I’m excited to share this visual guide on decision-making styles in relationships. Whether you tend to lead, collaborate, or defer decisions, understanding your patterns can help strengthen communication and connection.

Healthy decision-making is about respect, shared values, and listening, not just agreement.

✨ Feel free to save or share this with someone who might find it helpful!

Hey everyone!

I hope you have been having a great May so far. Over the weekend I completed a goal from my to do list and I am so excited to share it with you!

I finished reading "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" by twin sisters Emily & Amelia Nagoski. There is A LOT of helpful information and I highly encourage y'all to read this book!

Emily & Amelia talk about the important of completing the neurological cycle of stress and our emotions as a way to avoid feeling burnt out. They have identified seven ways you can do this:
1. Physical activity
2. Breathing
3. Positive social interaction
4. Laughter
5. Affection
6. Crying
7. Creative expression

I wanted to conduct a poll, but Facebook doesn't have that function any more. Instead, comment below your favorite ways to complete the stress cycle and I will send you a handout I've created using information from the book.\

(Two for one because I missed posting yesterday. ;)

Let’s talk about one of the most powerful, underrated tools for mental and physical well-being: SLEEP.

Many people don’t realize how essential consolidated sleep (uninterrupted, quality sleep in one continuous block) is for emotional balance, memory, immune function, and even managing anxiety and depression.

💤 When sleep is broken or cut short, our brains don’t get to fully reset and our bodies don't heal as quickly. Over time, this can affect mood, focus, and resilience.

🧘‍♀️ Good sleep hygiene can make a big difference. Here are some tips:

📵 Power down screens 1 hour before bed
🌙 Keep a consistent sleep schedule—even on weekends
☕ Avoid caffeine late in the day
🛏️ Use your bed only for sleep and intimacy
🌡️ Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark

Your brain and body need restorative sleep to function well. Prioritize it—like you would nutrition or exercise.

Let’s raise awareness and remind each other:

Sleep is not a luxury—it’s mental healthcare.

Let's reduce the stigma around mental health challenges.

Most of us go through periods of anxiety or depression at some time in our lives. Getting help is not a weakness, rather a strength. As human beings, we are wired for connection and interdependence. You are not expected to do everything on your own. You are being courageous in your vulnerability!

If you want to help reduce the stigma, consider changing your profile pic or cover to a Mental Health logo or writing a post about how you have struggled and what helped you get through those challenging times.
