Psychotherapist, writer, speaker. Practical and compassionate solutions for anxiety and stress
✨Try this simple mindfulness practice!
👀➡️ZOOM IN on one point of focus to draw in your attention to something that brings you joy, compassion, curiosity….. Hold your attention there for a minute, and notice what that is like for you. Helpful during overwhelm.
And/or
➡️👀ZOOM OUT beyond your thoughts and notice an expanded view of your environment in a way that invites more perspective, awareness, wonder…. Hold your attention there for a minute and notice what that is like for you. Helpful during thought spirals/rumination.
✨This easy exercise helps you build two skills: mindfulness (awareness/control of where your attention goes) and state shifting (ability to move from distress to regulation). 💪❤️✨
✨Last weekend was my favorite kind of therapy for myself: hiking with friends⛰️💕
👉Feeling capable and resilient comes from experience- moments of support and connection during a tough time, endurance through discomfort, joy of celebrating victories big and small, relief at finishing something hard💪
💕Self-care isn’t just about coping skills, it can also be connection with friends, with nature, and with our inner strengths✨
Being EMDR Certified and an Approved Consultant means a LOT of extra training and years of dedicated practice. And, it adds depth of understanding of trauma, a greater knowledge of trauma work, and a love of being a part of both the healing process for clients nd the leqrning process for other therapists❤️
Back-to-school feels like SO many moving pieces and constant nervous system overload.
Be kind to yourself, slow down, and celebrate all the little wins✨

Monday from the wise Dr. Kristin Neff 💕
Self-compassion practices are a simple way to gently shift your inner dialogue and soften how you’re feeling. Take a deep breath with a hand pressed gently on your chest, and say one or more of these statements to yourself. Notice how it feels and repeat as often as you’d like❤️

I’m so excited to announce the launch of my new practice, Good Psychotherapy Services 🎉
After 17 great years at The Sibley Group, I’m stepping out on my own to build a practice centered on the work I love most: helping clients, parents, and clinicians navigate trauma and neurodivergence ✨
At GPS, I’ll be seeing clients virtually for therapy, parent coaching, and EMDR Intensives. I’ll also have limited openings for individual and group EMDR Consultation, and I’m expanding my trainings for therapists, schools, and organizations.

This is very affirming, as a sensitive person who cries all the time out of sadness, happiness, or just being moved by a touching moment in a commercial😭😅
But in all seriousness: crying is natural and helpful for emotional processing and is part of how your body helps you heal✨NOT a sign of weakness. Love this
