Hi, I’m Holly.

Welcome! You are here, which means you’re curious. Being curious is the space between awareness and change. Curiosity is a strategy for healing. I know this, because that has been my own experience. 

My own curiosity led to pursuing degrees in counseling and pouring over psychology courses. Fast-forward fourteen years later, beyond grad school, a mom of three, navigating parenting neurodiverse and neurotypical children, I continue to grow. I’ve had to lean into anxiety, challenge my own mom guilt, manage the invisible load, and work to connect to myself so that I can connect to my community.

I realized that parenting, managing anxiety are not innate AND can be acquired through work, acceptance, self compassion and intention. Plus a boat load of mistakes (yes, you read that right). I want to provide the same support for you. 

Through my professional work I acquired knowledge that helps shift the mind and body into integrated mental wellness, which is often stressed by general life demands of a human existing in the 21st century. So many of us are reparenting ourselves while we navigate this life.

I’ll be honest, if you are hoping to find a therapeutic sanctuary where I provide all of the “right” answers, this is not that. I have faith in imperfection, faith in our nervous systems to heal, and I have faith in you.

So much love,

Holly

Parenting: Connected and Grounded

The focus is to connect to our authentic selves in the hustle and bustle of life as well as connect to our kids. It takes work! And to be grounded, means we have found our footing, and are confident in our parenting journey. When we are connected and grounded our actions align with our beliefs and values. We care less of external validation and what others may think and more about trust in our choices and trust in our children. It’s a beautiful thing! And we ALL have that within us.
