As a therapist, my primary role is to support and understand my clients from an unbiased standpoint. While I generally keep my personal life separate from my professional practice, I believe sharing a bit about my own journey can sometimes help in forging deeper connections and understanding.

This week, with Thanksgiving, we kick off the Holidays, a wonderful and potentially stressful time! During family holiday gatherings, a mix of personalities and dynamics can sometimes lead to challenging interactions. Being aware of these common behaviors can help you navigate these situations more effectively:

Or, That time we visited the West Bank…
I always thought I would write about this experience but I never did. I’m writing about it now as I reflect on this war in the Middle East and as I see all the marches to “Free Palestine;” the slaughter of 1400 Israelis that started the war somehow overlooked and in some circles celebrated!

The phrase "falling in love" often brings to mind feelings of excitement, joy, and an emotional high. What it seldom evokes are the intricacies of forming a genuine emotional connection. True emotional connection is founded on vulnerability—the ability to expose your authentic self, quirks and all, to another person.

I was recently encouraged by a member of the board, to submit a proposal to speak at a conference dedicated to "Elder Lesbians," an invitation I wholeheartedly accepted with excitement and honor.

Some days and weeks of therapy sessions seem to have a theme. This is one I often visit with my clients: Can you be true to yourself? Can you do what needs doing, even if others will be disappointed?

Are you a perfectionist?

Do you find your "inner critic" saying things to yourself that you wouldn't say to your worst enemy?

Do you say yes to people when you wish you could say no?

As little girls, we are often raised with messages to "play it safe." The adults in our lives tell us to "be good." Sometimes we're told to "be quiet" or that we "talk too much" or that "we are" too much. We as women hear and worry about too much-ness throughout our lives.  

Are you a woman having anxiety attacks because your partner or spouse is approaching you about thinking of opening up your relationship?

Well, 2020 is finally over. It was a challenging year for sure, and it’s only taken 2021 six days to lose some of it’s luster!

What can I say about “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle? When first one client and then another and another tell me they are reading something, I have to check it out! I wasn’t disappointed!
