Beyond the Highlight Reel

Do you ever look around and think, "Is everyone else really this put together?"

Or feel like you're the only one just barely keeping it together amidst the chaos?

Trust me, you're not alone, and the "perfect" photos don’t always tell the full story.

Here’s what this space is all about:

Life’s messy moments and the beauty in them.
Turning self-doubt into self-belief.
Getting a break from that heavy feeling of "always needing to keep up."
Finding peace in the middle of the everyday whirlwind.

This is a safe space where we get real, let our guards down, and share strategies to handle life’s roller coasters.

Rooted in the lived experience of a therapist who's been there. I’m here to provide you with unfiltered wisdom, real-life actionable strategies and compassionate guidance.

So grab your metaphorical (or real) cup of tea, and let's chat about making life feel a little lighter.

 Sound good?

35 and Unfiltered: Messy Realizations and True Growth

For the longest time, there was this nagging voice in my head whispering about all the things I thought I should have accomplished by now. It's like suddenly, you're supposed to be this fully formed 'real adult.' But here's what I've realized: at 35, I'm not just older; I'm also wiser, stronger, and frankly, more myself than I've ever been.

This blog post? It's my heart on a page. It's about grappling with the 'scary' side of 35 – the part that had me second-guessing where I am in life. But it's also about recognizing the incredible journey it's taken to get here. I mean, 35 years is no small feat, and the growth, the experiences, the ups and downs – they've all shaped me in ways I couldn't have imagined.

So, I invite you to join me as I unpack this milestone year. I'm sharing the real, the raw, and the surprising lessons I've learned. From questioning if I'm where I 'should' be, to celebrating the journey and growth that have brought me here, it's been a wild ride.

Let’s talk about what it means to hit one of those 'big' birthdays, and how it can shake you, wake you, and ultimately, make you see life in a whole new light. Ready for this? Let's dive in."
