During at home isolation, many people who are experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking are unable to call into a crisis line because their abuser is listening at all times. Stand Up Placer has developed an online chat feature for survivors to be able to access support. Please help to spread the word about this important new feature! The live chat feature is on the landing page of their website.

Sue Johnson off the cuff is not to be missed! She is hilarious & real; tune in if you can! 11am PDT today:

What two feelings are you feeling most right now? In this strange & unpredictable time, it’s important to check-in with ourselves regularly & allow (not fight or judge) our emotional experience. A great read from Andrea Loewen Nair: Education & Parenting

Two of my favorite, stress-relieving shows! Both are entertaining and filled with people who are simultaneously trying their best & helping their peers. We all need to balance our consumption of news with light-hearted, feel-good content. Stream GBBS on Netflix Making It on NBC . . .... #selfcare #mentalwellness #covid_19 See more

Fantastic news!

When I decided to incorporate my practice earlier this year, I wanted a name that was meaningful, one that conveyed what I wish for all my clients. Much of the inspiration I draw in life comes from music so, it seemed fitting to find the name in the lyrics of Tom Petty. Wildflowers Psychotherapy was born. On this, second anniversary of his untimely passing, I hope all his fans are remembering his contribution to life and music; turning it up loud and belting out the wise words of a rock legend. His songs speak to the Everyman/woman, always accessible. His lyrics tell our story- the story of being an imperfect human, a human who experiences the beat down of life only to rise again & seek a better tomorrow. #RIPTomPetty #Wildflowers #psychotherapy

A great night tasting wines and raising money for team, Knock’Em Up Initiative. It’s not too late to register for The Walk of Hope happening at the Capitol Oct 5th RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association #norcalwalkofhope #infertilitysucks
