A photo of fallen oak leaves with the text It's November. That means two things.

A photo of a railroad track through an autumn forest with the text First: the holidays. They're coming. Maybe you're heading home. Or back. Or somewhere. And there's something you're dreading. People who make you feel wrong. People who can hurt you like nobody else can hurt you.

A photo of a branch with snow on it with the text Therapy is the place where you can make some plans and boundaries to support you in connecting, while protecting yourself

A lot of my clients are shy or prickly when we first meet. That's ok. I know that it's just protecting them. You can be prickly or shy or "difficult" when we work together. There's no particular way you have to be in therapy. I am here to support you, no matter how you show up. We can figure it out.

A close up of three burrs on a burdock plant.

I also saw some burdocks and got thinking about how we think prickliness is a bad thing, but it helps spread the seeds of other plants. Just because it's unhelpful to our clothes and pets' fur doesn't mean it's inherently bad. That's just an unintended side effect of its true and useful function.

Inspired by Will's daily leaf (@_willforchange_ on Instagram) I kept an eye out for an excellent leaf while I was out for a walk today. I saw this little orange one, sort of half folded, like it was shy. It's a beautiful leaf, even if its beauty was a bit hidden at first.

Going to in-person therapy in a small place can feel really vulnerable.

A photo of a small mushroom in the woods with the text It starts with one small thought. One idea, one feeling. Then more. Maybe it starts getting overwhelming.

A forest with many mushrooms with the text reading "That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt." a quote attributed to John Green in the novel The Fault in Our Stars. Feelings demand to be felt. They'll keep coming up. They can affect your daily life.

A closeup of a red mushroom with a white stem on the forest floor with the text That stuff will always be there. Getting perspective about it can help.

A brown background with a photo of a white person with short brown and grey hair wearing glasses, an orange sweater, jeans, and white shoes. She's sitting on a bench in front of a rock wall, hands folded, leaning forward. Text reads Therapy helps you find that perspective. We can figure it out together.

Different fungi sprout from and around the skull, including red mushrooms with white spots, yellow fan-shaped mushrooms, gray cluster mushrooms, and orange bulbous mushrooms, with green and purple plants filling the background. A ribbon at the bottom of the skull reads “ADMIT ONE.”
