Sometimes people aren’t sure if therapy will help. And, while we can’t make that decision for you, we hope this helps explain some of the more common problems we see and how therapy can help. Every individual is different, and the only one that can make the decision to reach out to see if therapy is right for you is you. We hope this helps as a general guideline.

Coping with Anxiety in Times of Uncertainty

Now, more than ever before, we’re being asked to cope with a ton of stress. The news pouring out from our TVs, social media, friends, & family, along with the feelings of isolation, can be a super hard mix for any of us to cope with – and as I’ve navigated through posts myself on social media, I see & feel the fear you’re feeling and wanted to try & help as much as I can.

The best way I can do this, I think, is through this blog so you can print out anything you find helpful so you can keep it on hand as a reminder for when the anxiety is overwhelming – or better yet – to practice so you can keep it on the lowest end possible right now.

20 Tips For Assertive Communication

Many of the people I see both in & out of therapy have some trouble with assertiveness - in fact, most of us have trouble in this area!

For many, we can come off as too soft, or even worse, not being able to really tell someone what we need or want. It just feels icky! For others, we can come off as being too pushy. So what to do?

Most of us know that assertiveness will get you further in life than being passive OR aggressive. But few of us were actually taught how to be assertive. Here are some helpful tips.

How 3 letters make a difference

I always loved playing charades when I was a little girl. Trying to get people to guess words or strings of words without speaking. It’s something my parents played with their friends a lot too. They’d be in their best party clothes - while I took time to sneak into the kitchen to steal - I mean eat - as many as those bright red sticky (horrible for you) cherries as my little fingers could reach.

So, here‘s the first clue - the word has 3 letters - starts with a vowel - very common - but I haven’t used it yet!

How to Easily Clear Your Energy

I admit it.

I used to be so caught up in this whole process. Gathering supplies, tripping over the dogs, opening the windows, or standing outside freezing myself…

It really was a process!

I’d get my smudge stick ready, try not to burn myself (because I’m NOT coordinated like that!) annnnd stop my furballs from coming in and choking on the smoke!

Or, I tried to find time to clean and recharge my crystals, get them all lined up on each chakra, and then lie on my bed while trying to keep the cat from using them as hockey pucks.

I mean, it started to feel like I was gathering more stressful energy than I was releasing!
