Nurtured Connections

04/15/2026

Today is the 1st Anniversary of being in my supervised private practice! In the last 365 days I have sat with clients for nearly 500 hours, 488.75 to be exact 🤯. I have learned so much over the past year and enter this next year in my practice with an immense amount of gratitude to my clients, my friends, my family and my colleagues. I have always known that this is the type of work that I wanted to do and it is still surreal, at times, that I have the opportunity to actually pursue the goal I had for myself when I started at UofA in 2004.

If you have been a client, referred someone to me, tagged my practice in a social media post- thank you! If we are close and you have been along for the ride for any part of this entire process you know how relentless and loud the imposter syndrome can be, so thank you for continuing so show up for me in this new season of my career and life 🩷 I see you all and appreciate you more than you know!

Sharing food with people is one of many ways we can connect with one another. Also, when you work with kids after school they are almost always distractable and hungry. Offering a variety of snacks gives them the opportunity to more easily regulate and increases their focus in session.

Question: How would you feel if your therapist or your child's therapist offered a snack? If you are a therapist, what is your stance?

Thank you to a few creators, especially and who I have seen do this! A super condensed journey in pictures of how I ended up in Private Practice.

Do you have any questions about any of these steps? I am a pretty open book and am happy to share more if there is something you are curious about.
