Self-love is the foundation of a healthy mind and a fulfilling life. When we embrace ourselves with kindness and acceptance, we build resilience, improve our relationships, and make space for growth. When you start choosing you, you begin to attract others that also choose you. Self love is the highest frequency that attracts what you desire. Remember: you are worthy, you are enough, and your well-being matters. ❤️ ❤︎

Narcissistic abuse is a profoundly harmful form of manipulation that can alter a person’s sense of self and leave the victim with post traumatic symptoms.
Based on the real-life story of Morgan Metzler, the new film “Gaslit by My Husband” powerfully sheds light on this often hidden abuse. Being educated is key and if you choose to watch this, do so with care, as it may bring up difficult emotions. You are not alone and many people become survivors of covert and overt narcissism. Seek some help and guidance from a professional.

We need to start discussing how AI is impacting mental health. There have been reports of people harming themselves after talking with bots. One report was last year that involved a teenager dying by su***de after a bot gave him ideas to do so. Some people are more susceptible to harm themselves then others but there is a caution in using AI too much. There are so many dangers to using AI in replace of actually going to see a therapist and connecting with others. Moreover, AI is designed to replicate human action, not designed to have accuracy. The bots are not reliable sources of information. There are really good articles out there around this. Please stay informed and use AI with caution.

Perception… interesting to think about and understand. But perception is subjective, filtered through our own beliefs, emotions, experiences, and biases. Instead of seeing objective reality, we interpret the world based on our internal,, personal lens. What do we do with this information and how do we know if our perceptions are skewed?

I feel so honored and privileged to do what I do. I love helping others move into a more satisfied life. I have been serving the Wellington area in my private practice for going into 11 years now. For me, my job does not feel like work. I enjoy it through and through and am so grateful for each and every one of my clients that have walked through my doors. Thank you for trusting me and for letting me guide you on your journey.

I love this! Transformation takes time. Often, we can be inpatient with ourselves with the pace at which we see change. We live in a world of instant gratification and can sometimes expect that for ourselves. The truth is, real growth and change takes time, patience, consistency and perseverance. But it is worth the wait!

EMDR is an evidence based treatment proven to effectively treat trauma. However, did you know it can also be used for other distressing life issues? This modality is considered rapid resolution to issues that may have kept you stuck for years. This is one of my favorite modalities to use with my clients. Watching them heal from what holds them back is the best job on the planet!
