Client reviews often capture something essential about the therapeutic process—sometimes more clearly than clinical language ever could. One recent review described the experience of therapy as “incredibly helpful,” highlighting safety, support, and the ability to open up about difficult topics. While brief, these words point to the foundation of effective therapy: the felt experience of being met, understood, and supported through change.

Your Worth Isn’t Your To-Do List

As the holiday season approaches, many of us feel an unspoken pressure: to do more, give more, and show up as our “best” selves. To host perfectly, attend every gathering, or radiate cheer—even when our energy is low or emotions feel heavy. It’s easy to confuse capacity with worth. We may believe that our value depends on what we can accomplish, how helpful we are, or how well we manage obligations. But what happens when life slows us down—through illness, fatigue, or simply the natural limits of being human? That’s when the gap between what we can do and who we are becomes painfully clear.

When it comes to personal growth and emotional well-being, many people wonder whether they need therapy, coaching, or something in between. The truth is, these approaches ask different—but equally important—questions about your life. Therapy helps you understand what’s happening inside you, uncover patterns, and process experiences that shape your emotional landscape. Coaching, on the other hand, guides you toward who you’re becoming, helping you set intentions, take action, and move confidently in the direction you want to go. Understanding the distinction—and how the two can complement each other—can be the first step toward meaningful, lasting change.

Navigating Grief and Loss: How to Stay Connected to Yourself When Everything Has Changed

/ / Leave a Comment / Depression, Anxiety, Grief & loss

Grief is one of the most human experiences we have—and one of the least straightforward. It doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t respond to logic. It doesn’t care how capable, prepared, healthy, or self-aware you are. When we lose someone or something that mattered—a relationship, a loved one, a version of life we thought we’d have—our inner world reshapes itself. And that reshaping is rarely tidy.
