Our bodies are constantly cueing us to our mental and emotional wellbeing to protect us. Learning to listen to and nurture your heart, mind, and body is essential to process and respond in ways that feel aligned with who you are and who you want to be in this present moment. 🤍

I am excited to share that I gained approval from the Florida licensing board and am now able to start seeing clients in Florida via telehealth as a Telehealth Licensed Mental Health Counselor within their state. ☀️

I will continue seeing my Tennessee clients in-person and via telehealth. This also means that any of my clients that travel to Florida can continue services while away if they choose to do so. I look forward to serving this additional area and connecting with some new faces!

As a person who spent so many years of my life overdoing and overperforming, what a gift it has been to learn to try softer, slow down, and do less. I know how mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting it can be. It is definitely not an innate skill and one that has to be learned and practiced with days of imperfection, but it is possible. If you feel stuck in constantly doing, experience stress and anxiety with your never-ending to-do list, and feel like you have no ability to sit down for a moment to breathe and rest, it doesn’t have to always be this way even if it feels impossible to live differently.

I have some in-person and telehealth openings with the New Year, and I would love to walk beside you to help you more deeply connect with yourself and practice living more intentionally and aligned with what actually feels good to you. You deserve intentional time and peace to take care of yourself. 🤍

To the woman inside of the mother. I see you. I hear you. I empathize with you. You are not alone. Motherhood is such an ongoing transitional time of life consisting of loving with all of your being and trying to also find yourself. 🤍

If you or any mamas that you know crave some extra support navigating perinatal mental health, whether that be pre-pregnancy, trying-to-conceive, infertility, pregnancy, loss, or postpartum, I would love to support you.

Grief. Grief is one of those things that ebbs and flows throughout life and never goes away. It can’t be outrun no matter how badly you wish it could be. There are days and moments it sits differently and may feel more manageable and other days where it feels like your world is falling apart all over again. One of the hardest things when sitting with grief is that your world completely changed in an instant, yet the rest of the world keeps moving on and you have no choice but to keep going. This is why statements like “you’re so strong” can be so painful to hear for a griever. If you are grieving today, please be gentle with yourself and take a moment to nurture your heart, mind, and body in some way that feels good to you. It won’t take the pain away, but letting it be felt and nurtured will hopefully make moving through it 1% lighter. Your grief matters. 🤍

There is so much more detail to this topic that can be incredibly helpful to learn about! Exploring what is physiologically happening with the brain and body when triggered and what that means for learning how to cope is one of my favorite things to do with clients. Knowing what is happening can help give us power over our symptoms and reactions, learn how to regulate and cope, and validate the out of control and overwhelming feelings that can arise when triggered.

These walks are unexplainable until you experience them, and at some point in life, we all have these walks. I am no stranger to these walks, and I want you to know your story and walks matter and deserve to be heard. Life can be so hard, and you do not deserve to walk it alone.
