The office. Sometimes I sit in the office after hours, in the spot you sit in. I look around and imagine, empathize, feel the discomfort and also relief, that you do when you sit here. You see me in that chair from this viewpoint. Maybe you wonder what I’m really thinking? I’d wonder that too. In fact, when I’m on … Read More

I know you think you’re breaking in half. The thing that has cracked you open and pulls you down, feels eternal. But you, my friend, were designed for this. To love and break and live to tell the tale. Maybe, if you are lucky, to do it all over again. We were made to find the magic and then hold … Read More

Hey human. Hey human. Human with problems. With shame. With secrets. With fears. With insecurities. With wounds. With guilt. I see you. Your troubled heart. You are more than your human problems.

Virtual therapy I see people in their offices. In parked cars. Sitting on their deck. With toddlers on their lap. Couples in their living rooms. Hiding in bathrooms for privacy. In locked bedrooms sitting in their bed. In various time zones and provinces. Sometimes, more often than you’d think, I only hear voices on the other line of the phone. … Read More

If you know me, you know I believe in change. I believe in the human spirit designed to rise and fall, and rise again. Life is not linear, it’s full of good and amazing and awful and painful. It is all the things we want and often more of what we do not. It’s our adversity that makes is stronger … Read More

Revolution. The revolution will start internal. When you come to the place where you can hold space. For your truth. For your needs. For your voice. For your age. For your thighs. For every mistake and regret. For all that is you. The revolution belongs to you. You will rage quietly or loudly against the social structures and the messages … Read More

We humans. Welcome. To having issues. To making mistakes and then making more. To learning, unlearning and relearning. To failing and succeeding. Succeeding and failing. To joy and anguish. And everything in between. To growing up and growing strong. To wasting time and wasting away. To self doubt and self criticism and self love and self compassion. To intense love … Read More

On self kindness. If your internal dialogue isn’t very nice, it’s very likely that if you spoke to other people the way you speak to yourself, well, you’d have no friends. That was stupid. Why do you always mess things up. What’s wrong with you? You are getting so fat. You are so ugly. You can’t ever get it right. … Read More
