As a licensed therapist, I help you reconnect with your mind, body, and soul through a personalized practice of self-love and mindfulness ~ whatever that looks and feels like for you. Your healing journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. Together, we’ll explore the tools, awareness, and inner strength needed to help you reclaim your power and move toward a more grounded, fulfilled version of yourself.

Real Self Care:

• Fueling your body with food that gives you energy + helps you mentally and physically

• sleep hygiene: having a healthy sleep routine

• drinking 1/2 your body weight in water daily

• finding 5-10 minutes of quiet + stillness every day

• being kind to yourself: through grounding - gratitude - grace

• setting appropriate boundaries (for self/others)

• spending time with people that enrich your life

• treating yourself to something new because you love yourself

• moving your body because you can

Fake Self Care:

• forcing yourself to go on a strict diet

• consumption of alcohol/drugs

• meditating/journaling/working out to just check it off the to-do list

• talking sh*t to yourself to “motivate” you

• Saying yes to everyone because you’re a “nice person”

• Socializing because of “FOMO” or because you want pictures to post on social media

• Buying into anything that promises to “make you love yourself more”

• working out as a punishment or attending a class that shames your eating habits/appearance

Final Takeaway for today:

When you say ‘yes’ to others make sure you are not saying ‘no’ to yourself. ⁣Keep taking time for yourself until you are you again. “be(YOU)tifully YOU”
