Sometimes living authentically changes how we show up in the world.

Coming out isn’t a single moment — it’s an ongoing process.

Hello from my queer femme era 💗

You’re allowed to come out to yourself at your own pace.

Yes they really are! And it’s great for reading in bed at night because the light is soft and you don’t have to keep other lights on!

I once had a panic attack over a water taxi mistake because I was so used to being punished for being "imperfect."

Reminder: You have the right to make mistakes.

You are human, not a project.

#Healing #SelfCompassion

What if you read a book that explained everything you went through in your last relationship? 🌊

As a therapist and DV survivor, I wrote the guide I wish I'd had. I want you to feel safe and confident again. 🕊️

Comment "HEAL" below and I'll send you the KU link! 📖 #Bibliotherapy #Survivor

In a nutshell.

How do you carry grief and still keep living? 🕊️ How It Feels to Float by Helena Fox is a beautiful "Bibliotherapy" read for anyone processing loss. It normalizes the messy parts of grief and helps you feel less alone in the mental health journey. 🦋

You have the right to say no. 📜 But when "No" doesn’t feel safe, try Yellow Rocking. 🟡 It’s a softer way to hold your boundary without escalating conflict.

More tools like this are in my workbook, along with safety resources if you need them. 🦋

It was soooo good!!! So moving, especially to be right there in his thoughts and feelings, more so than in a lot of books

I finally read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and I’m moved. 🌻 Charlie is such a beautiful representation of an autistic teen navigating a world not built for him. Highly recommend for the validation and the empathy it builds 💕 10/10

First take: swampy 🤣
Second take: kind-hearted 🥰

Who else has exactly zero resolutions? 🙋🏻‍♀️

As a therapist, I see the cycle of "letting ourselves down" that happens every January.

Choose self-compassion over pressure 💕

Bloopers included for transparency! Happy New Year, everyone. 🥂✨

2025 has been a hard year for many. 🌲 If you’re ending the year feeling the weight of the "forest," remember that healing isn't just about big changes—it's about the quiet work of finding small moments of peace. Here’s to a gentle, steady 2026. 🤍

What might become possible if you let yourself grow and change your mind? Evolving is a sign of health, not betrayal. #saferelationship #toxicrelationship #relationshiptherapist #safehappyfree

When was the last time you chose what was best for you without apologizing? You get to make decisions about your own life.#saferelationships #toxicrelationships #relationshiptherapist #safehappyfree

Do you feel safe to ask questions in your relationship?
Do you feel: safe, happy, and free in your relationship?
If you don’t, you might consider talking to someone about that, or learning more about what makes a safe vs toxic relationship

Have you ever been punished just for asking a question? Curiosity is not disobedience. You have the right to understand what affects your life. #selfadvocacy #becurious #survivorsrights

What would change if your money truly felt like yours? Economic abuse is real, and you deserve financial safety and autonomy. #financialfreedom #saferelationships

Lawyers (like me) who’ve studied Project 2025, know the policy overhaul transforms the United States of America into a formal Christian White Nationalist ethnostate.

Please Google the term “ethnostate,” if you are unfamiliar. Project 2025 is 50% implemented as of today.

Once it’s in the frontal cortex, we can examine the memory, heal, and understand what was triggering us.
Reading books like Dumb Girl by Heidi Yewman, and Rose Colored Glasses (by me!), can help you remember your memories, process them, and heal 💕 2/3

The brain keeps people alive by hiding traumatic experiences from us, and storing those memories in the body - that’s why the body keeps the score. When we remember things, we can safely process them and move them from the hippocampus and the limbic system, to the frontal cortex. 1/3

This is the list I made for my Mom 🥰

These are my favorites of the 10 or so I’ve watched this year already lol

Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas
Christmas Casanova
A Royal Date for Christmas
Same Time, Next Christmas
Just Like a Christmas Movie

Oh gosh sorry I just saw this! Well since then I’ve watched 10 movies and that’s still my favorite! And same! I really wanted to love it bc I love Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart, but it was disappointing

In smaller doses, this is healthy in a relationship, but if it feels overpowering, or like you don’t have room to do things without looking over your shoulder, you might be in a toxic relationship

Have you ever felt like you didn’t have the right to privacy in a relationship? This might look like someone always wanting to know where you are, who you’re talking to, making you feel like you have to be in constant communication about your life with them
