Behind this door. Healing starts here. Behind this door. In person or by virtual or by phone. This is where you nourish your soul. Face some demons. Share the story. Confront some fears. Change your perspective and your mind. Healing starts here. (My #saskatchewan heart loves this wreath from @dandylinespg – also a prairie soul). #counseling #counselling #therapy #therapist #couplestherapy … Read More

Be your own therapist. You can be your own coach and therapist. Here’s a few tips: 1) Ask “why”. Stop. Breath. Ask yourself gently and with compassion why you are feeling, thinking, behaving the way you are. Just let the answer land without judgement. 2) Become aware. Know your patterns. Get familiar with how you respond. Notice what you notice … Read More

The fight. It’s never about the schedule. The laundry. The dishes. The kids. Who gets a break. It’s always about connection, recognition, power and control. If your fights sound the same, which they almost always do, stop and think about it. What need, vulnerability or bias is getting triggered again and again and again. Ask “what’s really going on here?” … Read More

Things end. This is the truth. Good things. Bad things. Things we didn’t see coming. And those we did. Beautiful moments. Painful moments. So… We move on. We close up. We finish. We complete. The key turns the lock. The papers singed. The house stands empty. The choir leaves the stage. The path now overgrown longer clear. And sometimes we … Read More

It’s not the story but what it means to you that matters. I’m good at helping you untangle the web. And once it’s all smoothed … Read More

The over thinker. Overthinking involves thinking about a certain topic or situation excessively, analyzing it for long periods of time. When you overthink, you have a hard time getting your mind to focus on anything else. Often cited as a loop, it is almost always unproductive. Many believe that overthinking is a benefit since it involves looking at an issue … Read More

Visibility In relationships we rarely see the wound, only the scar. What lies deep beneath is what fuels the present. Where we come from, what our experiences were like as children, the social and political environment we live in, trauma, lived experiences, and the patriarchy all come with us into every relationship we form. Every. Single. One. That human you … Read More

Weight I know it’s stupid… It shouldn’t matter…. I don’t know why this bothers me so much…. I’m body positive, why do I care? It’s so trivial… But is it? When your life is predicated on daily and often moment to moment unwelcome and obtrusive thoughts about how you don’t measure up, are not enough, are a failure, have disappointed … Read More

Hope. Is hope for the privileged? Is it a viable currency for those who have had to orchestrate and architect every action in their life to survive? Is hope a fantasy for those who chose strategy over “winged things”? Is hope all that we have or is it a risk not worth taking, because certainty trumps possibility? Is that sad … Read More
