A little about me…I specialize in anxiety, OCD, depression, eating disorders, and coping with life challenges.

I work with those in California or Florida. Feel free to reach out to set up a consultation or discuss working together!

AI is not therapy.
It never will be.
Therapy requires a therapist.

Addiction treatment should NOT be criminalized.

I can’t believe I have to say that, but that’s what some in Oklahoma want to do.

This cannot happen.

Having emotional reactions to whatever is currently happening is normal. It makes us human.

Psychoeducation from a therapist:

Empathy is ‘the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.’ We cultivate compassion, acceptance, and community through empathy.

The term ‘toxic empathy’ is weaponizing empathy. Stop.

Self care is self preservation.

It’s essential.

My dream is still increasing access to mental health services. National licensing for therapists to practice freely over state lines. Dreams give us hope. My hope is for better. Everyone deserves better.

Please be aware, and this has happened to me at least twice, that there are companies that copy some/all of therapist’s info without our knowledge. Then you’re contacting some company that we are NOT connected to. This makes it so much harder for people to get the care they need.

As a therapist who has written and spoken about the importance of community and mental health, we all NEED community. Social media can provide community, but doesn’t replace in person. In person community building is key.

Why are social services important to mental health?

Please see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (source of pic is Wikipedia):

Social services are critical to healthcare, including mental healthcare.

What did everyone do today for self care?
January 27, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Anxiety and depression symptoms are increasing yearly.

At least a third of us feel lonely.

The best predictor of successful therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. The relationship itself is healing.

AI is NOT therapy.

Tip from a CBT therapist: Don’t use ‘tools’ invalidate anyone’s fears. #therapistsky

A therapist you have a strong rapport with can be so helpful to everyone’s support system. Therapists have resources, are connected to the medical system and can advocate for you, and can offer emotional support while helping you navigate current and future circumstances. #therapistsky
