Come rain or snow, your social worker is out there Come rain or snow, your social worker is out there! Many social workers or helping professionals have 'mobile offices' like my rolling file box here. We work out in your community, bringing services to you no matter the weather. I've known many a counselor who could run their business pretty much from the trunk of their car based on all the extra resources, supplies and text books filling their trunks and back seats. 
This is just one look at the daily life of a therapist and all the many roles we play. 
What's your experience with working outside of a regular office? How do you manage to stay organized despite it all?

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!

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc ๐Ÿ˜ฑ 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 ๐Ÿค”:
"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!

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:

๐Ÿ˜ท Wear a mask when entering the building and wear it throughout our appointment
๐Ÿ“‹ Complete a health-screening at the door following current PHGB regulations
๐Ÿ‘ Use hand sanitizer at the front desk before entering the office
โ†”๏ธ 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!

Self care can be such a buzz word, synonymous with Self care can be such a buzz word, synonymous with bath bombs and face masks. But when we care for ourselves or others, it is sometime about doing the hard work - we don't always find the acts of caring easy or pleasant!

When your mother made you eat your vegetables, go to the dentist, clean your room, or teach you right from wrong, you didn't always enjoy it but you knew she was doing it out of caring. Setting goals for yourself and achieving them may take perseverance but you'll feel how much you are loved (by yourself!) when that hard work pays off!
