Hi friend, Winter is my favorite season—not because of the cold, but because of the quiet.It’s the one time of year when the world slows down enough for me to fully inhabit my home, surrounded by good books and my favorite writing tools. I get to luxuriate in stillness. In reflection. In warmth. Lately, I’ve been aching for a creative ritual—something to help me return to the page. The last month and a half has been, frankly, a lot: family gatherings 500 miles away, speaking gigs, and a...

Hi friend, Singing carols, shared meals, shopping for gifts… These are all beloved hallmarks of the holiday season. But what is a happy time for many, can be a painful time for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. The lights may be bright, but to a grieving heart, everything feels dimmer. And when your grief is fresh, that contrast can feel even sharper. Although grief is universal, it’s not tidy. It doesn’t follow rules, and it certainly doesn’t pause for the holiday. If your heart is...

Hi friend, I had every intention of writing a gratitude note sooner — but life (and a much-needed vacation!) had other plans. Still, I couldn’t let the year wrap without telling you how deeply grateful I am for this community. Your willingness to show up, to do the inner work — even when it’s messy — is what keeps me inspired. I truly love the magic and the mess of it all. As we step into a season that’s equal parts glitter and grief, celebration and complexity, it felt like the right time to...

Hi friend, A lot of emails I’ve received lately have sounded like this: “I’ve tried everything. Is Ketamine my last resort?” Here’s what I want you to know: KAP isn’t about giving up — it’s about saying yes to a breakthrough you didn’t know was possible. It’s for people who have fought tirelessly.Who have done all the “right things.”Who are still waiting to feel like themselves again. You are not at the end. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is another door — and it may be the one that finally...

"We're out of time." Every single week, just as I was getting somewhere real in my own therapy, I'd hear those four words from my therapist. Our session was over, and we wouldn't speak again until next week. Even though I felt right on the edge of an emotional breakthrough. Week after week, it became a frustrating pattern: Start to open up → the clock runs out → leave before any real progress was made → spend the next week coping instead of healing. Here's what I realized: We weren't getting...

I could hear my partner cutting onions on the other side of the house. And that’s all it took to pull me out of the experience of my first Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy session. When I prepared for my first ketamine session, I thought I had everything figured out. I was asked to come up with an intention, to mentally prepare. ➡️ And my intention was simply “to be open to the process.” I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I wanted to go in without any preconceived notions. Mentally and...

One small change: I’ll be switching from monthly to weekly emails. Rather than cramming everything into one long update, I’d rather send shorter, more focused notes that your (and my) nervous system can actually absorb. More steady touchpoints, less overwhelm :) Hi friend, Take a moment and ask yourself, “How does my anger materialize? Does it show up in small ways like… 😠 Snapping at coworkers?😖 Unfounded frustration at your partner?😞 Emotional shutdown because you’re just too overwhelmed?...

October Newsletter No Escape Hatch: How I Face What’s Still Alive Inside Me Hi friends~ Since returning home from my Somatic IFS Step 1 training, people keep asking me, “How was it?” It’s a simple question—but the answer isn’t. In therapy trainings, we’re not passive learners. We don’t sit at the edge of the work. We become the work. We step into the client role and meet whatever’s ready to surface. And what surfaced for me? Memories. The ones I thought I’d already “dealt with.”The ones I’m...
