      <image:title>Blog - The Polyvagal Ladder and States of Our Nervous System - Did you know that we have an automatic response system within us that reacts to stressors without us even thinking? Our nervous system responds within milliseconds to stimuli around us and determines overall how we’ll feel as a result - optimal, anxious, or shut down. There are three different response states that our nervous system is capable of: Ventral Vagal, Sympathetic, and Dorsal Vagal. We’ll learn more about the three below, and in the next blog we’ll find ways to move up and down the ladder to help us regulate our nervous system in response to stressors.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Tolerate Uncertainty - If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding making a decision because you’re afraid of the unknown outcome it’s likely that you’ve faced uncertainty. You may even feel it with past decisions in the form of fearing that you’ve made a mistake. There’s a sense of unsure-ness that turns into rumination, and maybe even efforts to prevent this anxiety in the future by using avoidance.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, no doubt, but unfortunately the method of avoidance only makes it worse. Here’s how to deal instead.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Use Systems to Work With Your ADHD, Not Against It: Laundry Edition - One of the areas ADHD shows up in my life is laundry. For years (my whole life, maybe?) I struggled to initiate the task to put clothes away, so they’d sit clean in the basket (or on the floor, floor-drobe anyone?) for days until I got frustrated enough with not being able to find anything to finally put them away. Doing this every week would make me feel awful. It was a reminder that I should be able to do the simple task of folding laundry like everyone else, but I couldn’t.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Holiday Blog Spotlight: Setting Boundaries During the Holiday Season - The holiday season is here again and for some it may bring times of lots of family fun and memory making. For others, it can bring the feeling of dread or discomfort as the pressure to spend time with family increases. For some, this also might be the first holiday season since COVID started where gathering with family is an option again. Being around different family dynamics so often in these few months after not doing so last year can pose some challenges. So how do we deal with family dysfunction during the holidays?</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Use Mindfulness to be More Present - Have you ever felt overwhelmed by anxious thoughts to the point that your surroundings become a blur? Maybe you feel like you get swept up in the anxiety and become disconnected from the people around you. This can also happen if a trauma trigger is occurring and you find yourself back in that moment instead of in the present. Or maybe you find yourself futurizing or getting stuck in the past when you’re doing the dishes or driving home from work. Have you ever pulled up to your house and thought “how the heck did I get home? I barely remember the ride…”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Ways to Prevent Burnout - I’m sure by now many of us have heard of the term “work-life balance.” I’m also sure that many of us have experienced how difficult it can be to achieve this elusive balance in our own lives. Whether you’re still working from home, have been transitioning back to into working in person, or have never left your in person job chances are high that you have experienced some level of burnout over the course of the pandemic. It seems that because of the decreased connection with others, dissolution of work-life boundaries, and higher demand in our jobs - symptoms of burnout affected more and more people. So what actually is burnout? And how can we prevent it and get closer to striking an effective work-life balance? Lets get into it.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Types Of Anxiety &amp;amp; When to Seek Therapy - If you read last month’s blog, you learned about the differences between stress and anxiety. You also learned about how anxiety involves fear based on anticipation of a threat, and how anxiety differs from anxiety disorders. In this blog we’re going to get into the different types of anxiety disorders and when you might want to seek therapy to help manage the anxiety you’re experiencing. Although my counseling approach of choice, Narrative Therapy, isn’t very focused on diagnoses - knowing about the different kinds of anxiety can help enrich our life story and gain a deeper understanding of our lived experience.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Stress and anxiety… two seemingly interchangeable descriptions you might use when you’re feeling a certain type of pressure, tension, or unease in response to something in your life. Although there are some commonalities between stress and anxiety, like certain physical symptoms, there are some pretty notable differences in what causes them to occur. Differentiating between the two can help us learn what we need to cope, and how therapy can help, when either pop up in our lives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Whether you’re perusing PsychologyToday profiles or viewing different therapist’s websites, including mine, you’ll come across different treatment approaches listed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Existential Therapy are just a few that you may come across in your search. While I do use these regularly in sessions with my clients, I primarily view my work through the lens of Narrative Therapy. So lets walk through exactly what that means!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Curiosity or Judgement? How to Stop Limiting Yourself and Your Relationships - “Be curious, not judgmental.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Walt Whitman quote has been made popular again thanks to the AppleTV show Ted Lasso. In a scene where Jason Sudekis’ character Ted is being underestimated by an opponent, he wisely states that others’ judgements have nothing to do with who he is as a person, but everything to do with others’ lack of curiosity and flawed belief that they have everything/everyone figured out. He sends this point home by expertly winning a round of darts against an opponent who assumed he wasn’t any good, but never bothered to ask. This got me thinking, how often are we limiting ourselves based on judgments of who we are, what we’re doing, or our environment? How often are we limiting our relationships because we’re assuming we have someone else figured out?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Get Through a Seasonal Slump - Does it feel like a “case of the Monday’s” has actually turned into a “case of the February’s”? Do you find yourself wondering how the shortest month of the year somehow feels like the longest? If it’s slowly but surely staying lighter longer, why are some of us feeling this slump and how can we work through it? There are a variety of reasons we may feel this way towards the end of winter. Maybe we’re coming down from the excitement of the holiday season. We’re also almost a year into this pandemic, so maybe we’re feeling some pandemic-fatigue.</image:title>

      <image:title>Background - Personal Background</image:title>
      <image:caption>Outside of this work I love spending time and traveling with my husband and our dog, Ellie! I love to travel, read, garden, and stay active by running or on the Peloton app. Practicing my own self-care helps me show up as my best in both my personal and work life. I am lucky to do this work and feel privileged to work with people as they tell their story and begin to understand themselves differently and more fully. If you’re looking for in-peson therapy near Paoli, or are in PA, DE, or SC and would prefer virtual sessions, reach out for more information about getting started.

      <image:caption>I am a Board Certified &amp; Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Provider, &amp; ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider and I am passionate about helping clients use self-discovery to lead them to their ideal life. I have known since I was young that I wanted to be a counselor - partly because of challenges I encountered in my own life, and mostly because I recognized how valuable supportive connection is when we’re going through tough times. I strive for this connection with all of my clients. To feel understood and heard can make a difference in our lives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Couples Counseling - On fighting &amp; withdrawing:</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Fighting is the vicious cycle in which each partner feels too unheard to listen, too misunderstood to be understanding, and too stung by what the other just said to do anything other than sting back. Withdrawing is a devitalized exchange in which partners don’t talk about what most concerns them… If fighting or withdrawing is the problem, then intimate talking is the solution.” - Dan Wile</image:caption>

      <image:title>Counseling for Therapists - Do you have space to process your life?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Despite being trained to provide that space for others, oftentimes therapists struggle to find the time or place to work through their own personal thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am here to hold that space for you and be a neutral source as you devote time to focus on what’s going on with you. When we take time to process our experiences, not only do we begin to understand ourselves better, but we are given the opportunity to gain more empathy for our clients who do the same thing when they work with us. Utilizing our own personal therapy can allow us to show up to session with our clients as our best selves without carrying our “stuff” with us. I have years of experience working with LPCs, LSWs/LCSWs, school counselors, private practice owners, therapists working towards licensure, neophyte therapists in school, and those who are considering higher ed in counseling/social work. Wherever you are in your career, I am here to meet you where you’re at and help you explore your own self-care.</image:caption>
