My story begins with my love of teaching through playing school, tutoring friends, and helping the physically impaired enjoy swimming. As I continued my education at American University, I followed an unconventional learning path with many independent study classes in the counseling and dance departments.
Pausing, rather than rushing, can quietly transform how we connect. In therapy and in everyday relationships, waiting with presence creates space for what is still forming. This reflection explores how the pause supports deeper attunement, nervous system regulation, and authentic connection, often allowing healing to unfold in ways we couldn’t have planned.
During busy seasons, our inner voices often grow louder—some longing for connection, others asking for rest or protection. This reflection offers a compassionate way to listen inward, honor different parts of yourself, and navigate the holidays with greater clarity, authenticity, and self-respect through a simple Three Voices practice.
Feeling “stuck” doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it may be a sign that your nervous system is ready for something new. This reflection explores how old patterns linger, how the brain opens windows for change, and how moments of safety, presence, and attunement can transform the past without reliving it, creating space for new possibilities to emerge.
In the midst of crowds, we can still feel alone. Healing begins when we find the circles where our nervous system can finally exhale, where we are seen, heard, and held in genuine community.
