We sometimes experience life-altering changes, some of which may feel as though we may not make it back. However, there have been people before us and people after us who have experienced and may have experienced what we may have gone through similarly. Let's say you are going through a divorce. There are so many emotions and changes that come with loss and grief. Remember that family that you gained? They may become distant until you become strangers. Remember the friends you gained? They may become strangers and at times people that may not want to be friends with you anymore or they may remain the people you need the most. You may even become closer. However, there is one feeling that most may feel and that is loneliness. You ever go through something so big and you isolate yourself because healing, managing, and surviving through such a big chang…

Let's talk about being authentically ourselves. This is something I have struggled with my entire life. I was trying to find where I fit in and how to be palatable for others. It all started when I was very young. I was bullied a lot. I was made fun of for the way that I looked, what I wore, what I liked and didn't like. For years moving forward I struggled to make friends and feel genuinue love. My first bully was my mother. She judge me down to my blood cells. I was too fat or too skinny. Why am I listening to that music? Why did I color my hair? Why do I want the piercings I have? You look just like your father (in such a distasteful tone). Even my brother bullied me and made fun of me for being fat and having broad shoulders. I…

What a year. That sentence holds so much weight. As I am writing this it is bringing up so many emotions and memories. The constant thought in my head "How did we make it?" Well, you did. Now sit with those feelings. How does it feel throughout your body? Is it emotional for you? Remember how it feels, recognize where on your body and why.

We carry so much of out emotions in our bodies and we may not take the time to release the feelings that carry weight. Think of something that made you feel some type of way. Does it feel heavy? If so, what have you done with that weight? Buried it? Suppressed it so you do not have to deal with the emotions? Therefore, it will always be there. Until you have made peace with it and released it you are carrying it around knowingly or…

I always tell my clients that I will always show up as a human first before a therapist. In the words of my best friend Branden, "Life comes at you fast."

I have been struggling with my personal life. As someone who is healing from a transition in their life that is probably one of the most painful journies in their life. It continues to be hard. It continues to be the epitome of heavy. Yet, I wake up and I continue.

I am writing this post struggling with how much of my life I want to disclose because of access. The fear of giving access to my life to people.

I have always seen the beauty in being vulnerable. I see vulnerability as a form of strength but there is the other side of being raw and exposed as an opportunity to get hurt. I feel like if…

So it all started when I was in high school. I used to come home after school and my favorite show to watch was Law & Order: SVU. My favorite character ( besides Olivia and Elliot) was BD Wong. He was a forensic psychologist and a criminal profiler. I found his work interesting but he always has such a kind and nurturing aspect to his character. He was the type of person that made you feel like "Yes, I feel safe to talk to you." So I decided I wanted to become a therapist. At first, I wanted to be a criminal psychologist for many years. So I received my first master's in Criminal Justice. Once I graduated I became a mom and I realized the type of population of individuals I would have to work with and potentially going out in the field. I changed my mind. I the…
