One of the most valuable skills in this work is learning how to reframe what we see.

People aren't resistant. People aren't difficult. People aren't noncompliant.

Often, there is communication behind the behavior, a lived experience fueling the response, and a protective purpose behind the wall.

Healing is not about tearing walls down. It is about understanding the bricks that built them.

When we do this work well, we help people identify and dismantle what keeps them stagnant, creating space to rebuild lives grounded in hope, resilience, and joy.

We do not heal through judgment. We heal through community.

Had the privilege of presenting at a Christian Women's Conference. I am grateful to be a bridge in the conversation between faith and mental health communities.

30 Second Therapy Session...

People who consistently center themselves or relate everything to themselves can be exhausting. But contrary to popular belief, they aren't all inherently selfish or narcissists.

Many of them struggle with conversations, social cues, and connections. They aren't sure how to be present and manage the dialogue. Some folks have better discussion and topic comprehension when they make connections to their own lives.

And this one always helps me to have grace for others... Some were survivors of childhood emotional neglect. Their emotional intelligence is low. They are seeking validation and have a constant fear of being invisible, so every conversation becomes me too... which translates to do you see me????

Have a little grace today for others friends...

I recently heard the concept of Bookmarking Joy...

We need to make mental notes of the good things we experience.

Even though I'm a therapist I need to be an active participant in

This is my bookmarked joy from a recent trip...

No makeup. No great outfit. Just me and the sound of the waves outside my window.

I challenge you to bookmark your joy this week. Smell the flowers. Take a picture of the sunset. Engage in your creative side. Send your loved one a note.

Let me know in the comments what moments you captured.
