It’s Okay to Feel

If there’s one thing I’ve learned through all these transitions, it’s this: it’s okay to feel. Feel sad, scared, frustrated, or even angry. Feel joy, relief, and hope, too. Every emotion is valid, and it’s through acknowledging these feelings that we can begin to heal and grow.

Our internal narratives shape how we handle money, relationships, career choices, and leisure time. To live the fulfilling life we deserve, we must challenge and overcome beliefs that hinder us.

I am currently welcoming new clients and inviting you to take the first step toward healing and empowerment. If you've been affected by microaggressions or are navigating challenges related to your identity, therapy can provide the space to process these experiences and develop coping strategies. Together, we can work through the emotional toll of these encounters, build resilience, and help you reclaim your sense of self. Reach out today to schedule a session and begin your journey toward healing. You don’t have to do it alone — I'm here to support you.

This isn’t a post about election controversies, Project 2025, or the difficulty of seeing people support candidates who use economic concerns, Christian ideology, or "family values" to promote oppressive policies. Instead, it’s about self-preservation and protecting my mental health—something essential for me and for many of my clients facing these same heavy emotions.

Once I began to acknowledge my inherent worth, things started to shift. I no longer felt confined by the beliefs someone else had imposed on me. I learned that I could rewrite my narrative. I could reclaim the self-worth I’d allowed to be chipped away.
