Ever find yourself running on fumes, secretly fantasizing about booking a one-way ticket to a deserted island where no one can ask you for one more thing? (Just me?) Burnout doesnât usually happen overnight. It creeps in quietly, the extra âyesâ here, the skipped lunch break there, the constant availability that leaves zero space for your own needs. Before you […]
READ MOREHereâs something Iâve noticed, both in my own life and in my work with women: weâre really good at talking about our experiences. Talking helps us make sense of things, find meaning, and feel less alone. Itâs a powerful tool in therapy. And yet, sometimes even after all the talking, you can still feel like something inside hasnât shifted. You […]
READ MOREâI should be happy.ââI have a good life, I should be grateful.ââI should know what Iâm doing by now.ââI should be over this already.â Sound familiar? If so, you might be the kind of woman I work with every day and I say that with all the love and zero judgment. Because if thereâs one thing Iâve learned as a […]
READ MOREIf youâve ever heard the term Somatic EMDR and thought, “What the HECK is that?” â youâre not alone. It kind of sounds like something a sci-fi character might do to power up before battle am I right?!!? BUT, in reality, itâs a deeply healing and grounded therapy approach that helps people process trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm in a […]
READ MOREWhy hearing DON’T CRY is terribly unhelpful and dismissive…. Weâve all been there haven’t we? I know I sure have!!! You’re talking to someone about something real â something that actually matters to you â and your voice starts to crack. The tears show up, uninvited but oh-so-determined. And then, boom. They say it: âDonât cry.â Wait, what?? Cue the […]
READ MOREPicture this: Youâve got the job. The relationship. The cozy home. The things you once dreamed about having. And yet⊠something feels off. You should be happy, right? (Ugh, thereâs that should again.) But instead of basking in joy, you feel restless. Maybe even a little empty. Almost like happiness is something you should be feeling, but it keeps slipping […]
READ MORELetâs talk about something that doesnât get enough airtime: the dread of seeing your therapist at the grocery store. Dum, dum, dummmmmmmm… If you live in a small town like Georgetown, ON, and youâve thought about starting therapy, youâve probably had this thought at least once: âWhat if I run into my therapist at Starbucks or WORSE, Shoppers Drugmart? Do […]
READ MORESo, it has recently come to my attention that a lot of you donât actually know much about me. Who I am, where I practice, andâwait for itâthe fact that I am actually located in Georgetown, Ontario. Even more shocking? Many of you donât know that I work remotely! Thatâs right, I could be in my comfy socks, sipping tea, […]
READ MORELet me paint a little picture for you: itâs Monday morning, youâve just rolled out of bed, and youâre already âshouldingâ all over yourself. âI should get up earlier.â âI should work out before work.â âI should feel more grateful that I have a job.â Sound familiar? If it does, welcome to the club. We all do it. We wake […]
READ MOREHello lovely readers, Can you believe weâre already approaching the end of the year?
