Sock choice of the day.

Even my dogs exhibit emotions shown on the .
Ding is under the couch experiencing some anxiety while Bo is full of excitement sitting atop.
These two youngsters are continuing to learn how to tolerate impulses and be in a place of calm so one day they can help you be in your own emotions safely.

Looking to connect with that inner wounded or traumatized child. I'm here and so is the transitional little child to help you access and do the work.

Bo is currently trying to find where he wants to sit during in-person sessions once he fulfills his training hours; chances are it will be your lap!

Introducing our new therapist in training, Bocephus (you can call him Bo).
He is currently shadowing my telehealth sessions and taking in all your emotions through his new nap intervention. My goal is to get him adjust to life here, into training, and into the office. We'll see! 🤞

Just in case you thought the magic drug was magic, please note that not all bodies are meant to be the same size and when we stop trying to manipulate them, they return to where they want to be. Even the drug company acknowledges this fact.

Now serving complimentary cold beverages for those summertime sessions that need a little cool refreshment. 😉

I can not believe I that I stepped out into the unknown in the midst of a global pandemic. I just did the next thing in front of me, even when I was scare. I had a mentor assist me, I asked a lot of questions, and I started with just one client my first 6 months. Yet had I not taken it slow and done each step, I would not be where I am today 4 short years later. I run my own private practice - I am no longer a side hustle.
I am licensed in 3 states in order to assist couples and families stretched out along the west coast, and I now have people come to me asking for my help in how to step into this fulfilling and scary world of working for self.
I wouldn't change any of it. I love the process, I love the clients I get to work with, and I love being the boss I use to bitch about!

Hello badass mother fu***rs! Today is a reminder about your awesomeness and to own you experience.

This work is HARD! I have so many other things I have written and deleted and it comes down to this is really fu***ng hard work and I need you all to know that
Being Q***r is amazing and hard
Supporting all those in the alphabet soup pot has been my lifes work honor and when that pot is fu**ed with I get so protective of my folks.
My God we are beautiful. EACH and every one of us is a fantastical amazing soul with rights and purpose. If you EVER need someone to validate that for you, drop me a (what do the kids call it, a DM?) - Let me know and I'll boost you up!

An OLDIE, and a goodie.
Come see me for a free consultation and hear more cheesy sayings and some damn good therapy!

I know, as an adult, I can feel my excited child parts come alive when I get a sticker! Especially when I did something big,scary, or challenging. Out at a local shop this weekend I decided to buy some stickers and supplies to create a board so my clients could decide if they wanted to pick one to represent self and their work. Here is a selection- Tell me what you would like to see to choose from.

I can remember times in my life when I felt like I could not imagine a life without a particular person in it, and then I continued to learn, grow, and evolve in ways I may not have if I would have continued to allow them to be in my life.
I am who I am today - not only for those who have stood by me, yet for those who no longer are graced by my light.

Allowing yourself to feel however you want to feel with acceptance and non judgment is a great place to be today.

We all have moments where we may not feel confident, yet there are moments where we may feel like we don't belong in the spaces we hold in our life. Imposter syndrome is when we feel inadequacy, regardless of the evidence, that we are not competent. This may not be something that is discussed a lot, and that doesn't mean we don't all experience it.

Thank you to all of you that have been a part of my professional step into the IG world.
I love my work. I adore my clients (current and past), and I take such delight in sharing in the growth with them.
I do not believe in NY resolutions, rather a reflection on my gratitude and focus on my continued growth in whatever form the universe holds for me.
I wish you all a wonderful and healthy New Year and may your well being be at the top of your growth for 2024.

Hoping you are all feeling this safe this cold and blustery night.

Sun sets at 4:30 up in these parts. That's some crazy ass stuff!
Ready to move towards more light.
