  • Samsara Vibes

    Karma, Reincarnation, and Balancing the Cosmic Scale There’s a reason the Golden Rule exists: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It’s not just some quaint moral guideline passed down through generations—it’s a truth embedded in the way the universe seems to work. Every action has a reaction. Every seed you plant eventually

    “That’s Just How I Am” – Honest, But Is It Healthy? You’ve probably said it before, or at least thought it: “That’s just how I am.” Maybe it felt like an honest declaration, a way of owning your quirks or habits. But here’s the hard truth: while honesty matters, using that phrase as a shield

  • Safe to Love Vibes

    Love, Safety, and How We’re Wired As a therapist, I often talk with clients about relationships—romantic, familial, and platonic. One truth I return to again and again is this: people don’t always love us in the ways we want them to, but in the ways they know how. Love is filtered through the nervous system,

  • Rewire & Rewrite Vibes

    Get Out of Your Own Way So many people stand between themselves and their dream life, their dream partner, their dream job. Why? Because deep down, they don’t believe they deserve it. Period. I don’t love when people throw around the phrase “if they wanted to, they would”—because it’s not that simple. People want a lot

  • Kevin Parker Vibes

    I don’t know how people do life without a soundtrack. Music is my anchor, my hype, my therapy—except for country (though, full disclosure, I will belt “Friends in Low Places” at karaoke). My default? Britney’s “Oops I Did It Again,” always. Today, Tame Impala (aka Kevin Parker) dropped a new track, Loser, and I was elated! He

  • #1 Vibes

    The Number One Draft Pick It was supposed to be a lazy Sunday. But the night before, my husband sprung it on me that we were hosting a fantasy football draft party at the house. Alrighty then. Food was ordered, TVs were set up—everything people apparently need to play pretend football with each other. I

  • Deep Vibes

    Depth Can Be Disruptive “People can only meet you at the depth of which they have met themselves.” Shallow people often get uncomfortable around deep people—not because the deep are doing anything wrong, but because depth demands presence. It challenges surface-level conversation, empty validation, and performative connection. The Therapist’s Perspective In therapy, we often return

  • Avoidant Vibes

    Stop Running From Love — You’re Worthy of It When you put up walls and keep your feelings bottled up, those emotions don’t disappear — they come back, usually louder and messier than before. And when you push people away, even the ones who genuinely care, eventually they’ll walk. Not because they didn’t love you,

  • EQ Vibes

    EQ & Emotional Maturity: Why They Matter (Especially When You’re Dating in Midlife) Okay, so we’ve all heard about IQ—the measure of how “book smart” you are—but EQ (aka emotional intelligence quotient) is the glow-up version that actually matters in relationships, careers, and just, you know, adulting. Let’s break it down. What Exactly Is EQ? Emotional intelligence (EQ) is

  • Soulmate Vibes

    Soulmates: Beyond Romance The idea of a soulmate has been around for centuries. Plato imagined that we were once whole beings, split apart, forever searching for our missing half. Poets and philosophers wrote about the longing to be completed by another. And in the new age world, soulmates are often described as those instant, fated
