Feeling Grateful

I know that the world is filled with messages that we should feel grateful. Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about “shoulding all over yourself.” This morning though I do feel incredibly grateful to receive a Reader’s Choice Award in 2 categories!

This year hasn’t turned out quite the way I expected it to. Spoiler alert…and neither will 2024. This certainly isn’t a surprise because the universe always has other plans and sometimes what happens even if it is difficult and unwanted it is really what we needed. Yes, 2023 was filled with lessons and some of them I learned and others kept coming back around to tell me to dig a little deeper. Regardless of how I may feel, I did something right and that feels amazing because it meant I helped others find their “why”. Working in connection with other humans and walking along with them during a challenging time in their life is a gift and I thank those who have trusted me and allowed me to be part of their transformation. It motivates me to be a better therapist, to be present and to show up in life even on the days that are hard.

Thank you! If you are looking for a mental heath tune up, I will be accepting new and returning clients for 2024.


Readers’ Choice Awards

All I can say is Wow! To win an award in 3 categories is just incredible. I started as a young social work years ago and wondered if I could ever make a difference in people’s lives…..if I could ever be good enough. I remember the first time I read Brene Brown and heard her talk about women and “imposter syndrome” and it blew me away. I realized that no matter how smart, beautiful or successful you are, so many women experience this.

I wear my vulnerability now like battle scars and I am proud of who I have become as the years have passed. Moments like this are to be shared with all of the people who have entered my office and my life. I have one of the most amazing jobs in the world as I get to be part of your journeys even if just for a moment or perhaps a little longer as life throws some unexpected twists and turns.

Thank you to those who voted and thank you for trusting me. For those of you who might be reading this but we haven’t met yet, please make that call or send that message. I look forward to meeting you.

Kindest Regards

Kimberley
