My site is live!

I launched my practice in October 2025. Well, I honestly feel like my husband did everything. He applied for the business license, the LLC, set up the bank accounts, did all the work to set up insurance paneling, continues to deal with calls and emails with insurance companies, submits claims and deals when they get denied, and has probably done so many things that I can’t wrap my head around. “All” I’ve done is see clients, keep up with documentation, and keep up with all the things required to keep my licenses active (I’m licensed in Ohio and Washington). And now I’ve gotten my site done (though my husband did all the work to get it set up and I just had to edit and personalize it). It’s really hard to accept help sometimes, isn’t it? I had to work through this with my own therapist - feeling like it didn’t really count as launching my own practice if I didn’t do all of the work myself.

But, the site is live. It’s not perfect and everything I ever want it to be, but for where I am and what I have to give right now, I’m accepting that it’s good enough. I see a full caseload. I’m a mom to two girls adopted from foster care - girls that are healing their own trauma and moving forward every day. I give what I can, and I sometimes give more than what I can. Despite all of this, it can be so hard to give myself grace and truly believe that what I am giving is enough.

If you work with me, you are working with a human being. You’re working with someone who knows how hard it can be to believe you are doing enough. I look back at past versions of myself that were also doing so much and never feeling like it was enough, and I feel so much grace and compassion for her now. Seeing that I’ve always worked so hard and always given my best helps make it easier to believe that is also true now, even when it feels like it isn’t. It also helps me see my clients in ways that past versions of me longed and deserved to be seen. What an honor it is to get to create and maintain felt safety for people, who then get to bring that felt safety to others in their lives, and each of our little corners of the world keep getting a little better and better.

So, I hope you enjoy my site (even though there isn’t much to it at the moment), feel a little inspired, feel a little hopeful, and in general just feel like you are a little less alone in this world. You are probably doing enough, and if you genuinely feel like you aren’t, try to be curious about that instead of judgmental. See what you can observe. See what may be keeping you stuck. And if you are one of those people, like me, who is always working hard and often feeling like it’s not enough, try to be curious about what it would feel like to affirm to yourself that you are doing enough. See if that can feel okay. See if you can feel proud of yourself for what you have accomplished, even if there is still always more you can think of to do.
