Why I Became A Therapist

When I was younger, my greatest aspiration was to be a mother. In fact, that’s all I wanted to be. …

I look at the date today with a mixture of shock a I look at the date today with a mixture of shock and gratitude and joy. Today marks the day I finally took the step to open my private practice. It feels surreal to recognize that a whole year has passed by since then, and I am flabbergasted by all the changes myself, and the collective world, have gone through. Transformation is hard. Change is frightening. But living authentically is worth it. Thank you to my friends, family and community for supporting this dream every step of the way!

Did you know that it's estimated that social worke Did you know that it's estimated that social workers represent the largest portion of mental health service providers? There are more social workers than psychologists, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses combined! ..
Sometimes social workers are the only mental health professionals supporting rural communities. Our area of service can mean traveling all across the region for home visits, and clinical care!

It's the start of your week, so here's a quick rem It's the start of your week, so here's a quick reminder on #mindfulmonday to practice staying in the moment! Breathe in, notice the air in your lungs, and then let it all out. 😮‍💨 Even 2 minutes of mindful breathing (That's about 12 breaths) can have a huge impact on your mental health - it reduces anxiety, improves your mood, balances your nervous system and even helps you think more clearly!

So pause - breathe - and then go kick butt this week! 💪

Did you know you can now safely attend for in-pers Did you know you can now safely attend for in-person counseling? 

You might not see it, but behind this mask is the same smiling face of your compassionate therapist! This is the view you'll have when you attend for in-person sessions. With safety precautions in place, and screening at the door, I am happy to welcome my clients back into my office space with the following precautions:

😷 Wear a mask when entering the building and wear it throughout our appointment
📋 Complete a health-screening at the door following current PHGB regulations
👏 Use hand sanitizer at the front desk before entering the office
↔️ Maintaining 6-feet of distance during entirety of our visit

The office is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned between each appointment, and appointment times are staggered to ensure no clients are meeting in the waiting area. 

Feeling so proud of our community and all that we are doing to keep each other safe! Stay positive and test negative friends!

😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc 😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question 🤔:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!

Being supportive and empathetic is all about meeting people where they are at - validating and acknowledging their experience and pain instead of jumping straight to 'making them feel better' or spinning their words into a quick positive.
