Why I’m Choosing Authenticity Over Perfection (and Inviting You to Join Me)

Building this website brought a surprisingly philosophical question: to blog or not to blog?

After reading every “expert opinion,” polling patient friends, and even overanalyzing the algorithms, I decided: I’m going to blog my way.

The Real Me — Not Just the Therapist

I want to write the way I would talk to a friend over coffee — not as a polished professional, but as a human who laughs, questions herself, and occasionally gets it spectacularly wrong.

Everything here is truth. But beyond the truth of what I’ve done lies the truth of who I am: an imperfect human being, just like you. Someone who’s felt loss, doubt, failure, and the sting of questioning her worth. Someone who is still figuring things out — daily.

Dropping the Cape

As a mom, therapist, and human, I still wrestle with moments of grief, guilt, and “should-have-done-it-better.” Yet every day, I make a choice: to let my emotions define me or to trust in the bigger picture of who I am and what I stand for.

Do I make mistakes? Absolutely.
Do I laugh at myself later (sometimes much later)? Also yes.

Even the most “put-together” people — high achievers, helpers, Enneagram 3s — need a space to be real. This is mine. A place to drop the cape and let the messy middle breathe.

Finding Growth in the Imperfect Moments

Becoming the version of ourselves we want to be isn’t always pretty. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes painful, but also unexpectedly full of joy and laughter — if we let it be.

There’s beauty in the broken pieces, lessons in the silly moments, and growth in the detours. When we slow down long enough to look past the annoyance or frustration, we often find something deeper waiting to teach us.

Why I Blog

I do what I do because I’m passionate about partnering with people to evolve into who they were created to be — not perfect, but purposeful.

So that’s my reason for blogging. Not to impress, but to connect. To create space for real conversations about growth, authenticity, and laughter along the way.

We’re in This Together

We’re all walking the same winding road — the good, the bad, and the ugly. The only way to truly thrive is to do it authentically.

If perfectionism keeps whispering that you’re not enough, take a deep breath. You don’t have to listen anymore.

You might even want to grab my Free Perfectionism Workbook — a guided space to explore your triggers, rewrite old stories, and embrace the freedom of being perfectly imperfect.

We’re in this together. Always.
