Ever freeze in a social situation or overthink a simple hello? This reflection explores why that happens through the lens of social anxiety, nervous system responses, and self-compassion. Includes a one-minute reset you can try before your next social event.

When someone says or does something that sets you off, it’s easy to react before you even understand why. In this reflection, I explore emotional triggers in relationships, how our nervous system takes over in moments of conflict, and how slowing down, regulating, and responding with awareness can change everything.

Ever catch yourself replaying a difficult moment over and over? This reflection explores how therapy can help slow the loop and uncover what’s beneath the story by using creativity, mindfulness, and emotional processing to guide the way forward.

Sometimes sadness just lingers quietly, even when life looks better on the surface. In therapy, I notice how rarely we say “I’m sad.” Naming it can be a small, honest beginning. Just like a reminder that sadness doesn’t mean we’ve failed, it just means we’re human.

A space for thoughts, reflections, and experiences that don’t always fit in the therapy room. It’s about about growth, grief, creative healing, or just being human.

Online therapy for burnout, overwhelm, and the quiet pressure to always hold it together. This is for the ones still carrying.
