What Grew Here
One year ago today, I bought my office building, a decision that has changed my life in ways I couldn’t have fully imagined at the time. Not just a structure, but a haven for healing. A huge risk, and also a leap toward the future.
At the time, it felt both thrilling and terrifying. There was excitement, yes, but also a steady hum of What if I can’t do this? What if I fail? Buying a building meant committing to something real and long-term. It meant trusting myself in a way I never had before.
Over this past year, the building has slowly become what I hoped it could be: a warm, grounded space where people arrive carrying their stories and leave feeling a little lighter. It has held therapy sessions full of tears and relief, quiet breakthroughs, deep breaths, laughter, and long pauses where nothing needed to be fixed. But the biggest changes didn’t happen within the walls. They happened within me, and within our clients.
This year asked me to stretch in ways that had nothing to do with square footage or paint colors. It asked me to learn how to hold responsibility without losing softness. To navigate financial stress while staying connected to my values and priorities. To trust that growth doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful.
There were many moments of doubt. Moments when I wondered if I had taken on too much. Moments when the weight of ownership felt heavy. And there were also moments of deep, quiet pride, when I realized I was doing the very thing I once only imagined.
I’ve learned that stability isn’t about never feeling afraid. It’s about continuing to show up while fear sits nearby. I’ve learned that healing spaces don’t need to be perfect. You all proved that to me. We started with just a couch and white walls. Healing spaces simply need to be intentional and welcoming.
This building has taught me about roots. About choosing to stay. About investing not just in property, but in purpose. It has reminded me that growth often looks ordinary from the outside, but profound from the inside.
As I reflect on this past year, I feel deeply grateful. Grateful for the clients who have trusted us with their healing. We know how much goes into choosing a therapist, and we do not take lightly that you’ve chosen us. Your trust and support mean more than we can put into words.
I’m also grateful for the risks that paid off, and for the lessons that didn’t come gently. For the version of myself who said yes even when certainty wasn’t guaranteed.
We have grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined. From one therapist, to two, and now welcoming Moon Woven LLC into our space, offering Reiki, sound healing, spiritual life coaching, and monthly women’s circles. I also fulfilled a long-held dream of being a vendor at the Wolf Hollow Witches Market.
Our space is nearly fully furnished, and we’ve begun additional remodeling projects, continuing to shape it with intention and care. We will continue to grow in 2026, and I can’t wait to see all that is waiting for us. One year in, AND we are just getting started. We remain grounded, and that feels like its own kind of magic.
Here’s to growth that unfolds in its own time.
Here’s to spaces that hold more than walls.
Here’s to one year rooted, and many more to come.
