- 1:51you so much. You're welcome. So before we get going, share with
- 1:53the listeners where you're from originally and where you are currently. Yeah, I
- 2:00say originally I'm a New Yorker. I feel like that's also my heart.
- 2:01I have a tattoo over here, and I have an Apple to represent New
- 2:06York. Wow, I'm to represent Florida. So I feel like those are
- 2:10both in my hearts. Yeah. I grew up, spent about twenty years
- 2:15in New York, followed my sister down to Florida. She had gone to
- 2:20UF decided to stay in Florida. I came down here with her and she's
- 2:24also a therapist. So we say, like, must have been a really
- 2:29smooth childhood. Have all of us become therapists? Right? Interesting? So
- 2:34yes, I've been in Jacksonville, Florida now for over a decade. Wow,
- 2:38okay, so well let's talk about that. How did all this start
- 2:44for you? Yeah? Oh my goodness. So my journey you know,
- 2:50clearly said like my background, I was a business marketing so I was not
- 2:53interested in becoming a therapist. I had people telling me in my early twenties,
- 2:58like, you'll be a great therapy and my response then was like,
- 3:00why would I ever want to do that? I have to tell people that
- 3:06life has a sense of humor, and you know, here I am.
- 3:09It took me a while to get to this path. I really struggled in
- 3:13my early twenties figuring out what did I want to do, what really fit?
- 3:17What did my career and future look like? And after many people planting
- 3:23that seed, I finally decided to kind of follow my sister's footsteps. So
- 3:28she graduated about two years before I did in this program and became fascinated hearing
- 3:32her and her friends talk about therapy and just talk about what they're learning.
- 3:38And so I decided to take that leap, and very quickly it was like,
- 3:43I get it. I get what everyone was saying that this is why
- 3:46would they let me, let me, let me stop you that? Why
- 3:49were a lot of people saying that to you, you'd be a great therapy,
- 3:52you'd be a great therapist. Yeah, great question. I think,
- 3:58since I was very young, had probably a passion and an interest in seeing
- 4:04potential in people, sometimes to a fault, you know. I definitely my
- 4:09my recovery journey is making sure that I'm recovering like people pleasing and codependent tendencies
- 4:14and when we might get into that some today, but I really always wanted
- 4:18to hold space for people. I was the person coming up with advice for
- 4:24people. I was a cheerleader for people. I was coming up with different
- 4:29perspectives, you know, really since a very young age, and so people
- 4:32have been like, wow, you really you know, you really see me,
- 4:34or you really give really good advice. And so that was the thing
- 4:38that was prompting people to be like, I feel like you do a really
- 4:40good job at this. But it seemed like such a daunting, you know,
- 4:45heavy hard space to hold without really knowing what was in this field and
- 4:48it is I mean it could be heavy and hard to hold, but also
- 4:54hold. That's so interesting, you know we I often hear that from people.
- 5:00I mean people said would say that to me, And I don't know
- 5:02if it's true for you, But when when I would hear that, you
- 5:06think you'll value it that much because it's it's who you are. It just
- 5:12like comes so easily. It's just pure thing. But that's so cool that
- 5:16people said that. So okay, you decided to go forth. So what
- 5:23did you do? You? Where'd you go? Yeah? So I went
- 5:28to University in North Florida. Their clinical mental health Counseling program was a great
- 5:33program. I had a wonderful experience. I had really good professors. Some
- 5:38of my best friends I still have from my cohort. So now a decade
- 5:43later, we're still we call ourselves the like the Fantastic four. There's four
- 5:47of us. So yeah, I just I jumped in, went to the
- 5:53program, and very quickly it was like this is one hundred percent exactly where
- 5:58I meant to be. I felt that, like you said, it was,
- 6:00it was like a skin just sort of stepping and falling into place,
- 6:03being like this is exactly what I'm meant to be doing. This is I
- 6:08thrive off of this. I love holding space for other people. I love
- 6:12being able to maybe see things that other people aren't, you know, helping
- 6:15to point those patterns out together, helping us to challenge some of those negative
- 6:19spirals that you know, even relating like I'm a very transparent therapist, Like
- 6:24I love being like I'm going to bring me into the room appropriately, you
- 6:28know and quick healthy boundaries. But I'm like, hey, I'm going to
- 6:30model that, like being a human is messy and hard, and that's okay,
- 6:35and there are ways to do it that are healthier and that you don't
- 6:39have to be as alone. So yeah, it's been a wonderful, amazing
- 6:43journey and I'm so glad people did plant that seat, Otherwise I might have
- 6:46waited even longer to join into this field. So weird. Does the recovery
- 6:53part come in you touched upon a little bit? Yeah, So I have
- 7:00a lot of addiction in my dad's side of the family, So that's something
- 7:03that I grew up being familiar with. Didn't think again, like I say,
- 7:10like does like a sense of humor? The other thing I also said
- 7:12when very early in my career was like, I don't ever want to work
- 7:15with eating disorders or addiction. Okay, okay? And I, you know,
- 7:23because I really struggled early on in my career or in my life figuring
- 7:27out what I wanted to do with my career. I really felt like I
- 7:30wanted to work with college students that sort of I'm not a kid anymore,
- 7:34but yet, what is this adulting thing? And you know who am I?
- 7:38And I loved that, and that's where I started my first four or
- 7:41five years in my career. It was an amazing experience, had amazing colleagues,
- 7:46amazing mentors. And then I was sort of like what else. You
- 7:49know, I kind of got into some of my trauma, my passion for
- 7:54trauma, got exposure to group therapy, started supervising a new therapist at that
- 8:01point, and I was like what else? And I just happened to apply
- 8:05to a job at a residential addiction facility and fell in love. Took that
- 8:11leap and was like wow, this is It was a whole new world.
- 8:18I mean, people who are struggling with addiction and say like it's a symptom
- 8:22of mental health, It's a symptom of trauma. It's a symptom of anxiety
- 8:26depression. You know, so many wounds that have existed in our life,
- 8:31and so many people don't have any tools or resources. So being able to
- 8:35really just shine some light on some of this was so cool to see this
- 8:39transformation and this healing sometimes in a really short period of time, and people
- 8:45being so hungry for connection as well as hungry for oh there's another way,
- 8:50or oh that was a trauma that I experienced. It maybe wasn't PTSD,
- 8:56but it was a trauma. And just sometimes having that light click could be
- 9:00completely transformative for somebody. So yeah, and a lot of times and correct
- 9:05me from off the market here, but a lot of times people with addiction
- 9:11don't. It's the addiction becomes the giant thing that almost obscures the trauma.
- 9:20Right, It's like, what do you mean, I've had tried enough trauma.
- 9:22I wasn't in combat, I wasn't hit by a truck. So when
- 9:26you when you first got into this program, now are we talking about at
- 9:33soft rows here, was that we didn't get there. Okay, we're there
- 9:37yet. Okay, So when you first started, when you in this program
- 9:41with addiction, you said, you know, you were just like this was
- 9:46incredible. Talk more about what fit for you, What sparked you in that,
- 9:54Oh, that's a fantastic question. I think that was when I really
- 9:58started to to solidify my passion for really doing trauma work and recognizing the need.
- 10:09And really, you know, my style of like when I work with
- 10:13trauma is undoing the aloneness, is allowing someone to be like I am here
- 10:18and allowing my clients to like feel seeing and care for and allowing them to
- 10:22then see care for not care for me, but like see that like my
- 10:26care is genuine. And so I would say that really sparked a difference.
- 10:33I think a lot of clients have had bad experiences at treatment facilities. The
- 10:39amount of clients who have been like I've gone a treatment X amount of times
- 10:43and have felt sometimes that some staff are just there for a job, are
- 10:50burnt out or over it or just checking a box. And that is a
- 10:54whole new trauma in and of itself. If you're coming into this really vulnerable
- 10:58state, say probably I want to heal and I want to change, and
- 11:01I want to learn something new. But you know, this addiction, the
- 11:05substance has its clause in me to then feel like people are annoyed by you
- 11:11or that you're just a burden. It's like, wow, we're now adding
- 11:15on a whole other layer. And so that part of being like these people
- 11:20matter and seeing that if somebody is sometimes they say like we tanser and we
- 11:24all tanger and we have these younger versions of ourselves that are like, you
- 11:28don't like this, And if I could just hold some space for that and
- 11:33validate that, like, Okay, there's a part of you, whether it's
- 11:35his angry part, this sad part, this scared part that's having a really
- 11:39strong reaction, and that's valid. And at the same time, I wonder
- 11:43if there's another way that we could get this need met, a way in
- 11:46which I could be your teammate and way which you don't have to be alone
- 11:50and don't have to engage in maybe the same self destructive behavior. And then
- 11:56as clients saw that, like, oh, she's not going to be intimidated
- 12:00by my anger, she's not I don't have to worry about getting rejected by
- 12:03her, and I could show up in these same ways that people would have
- 12:07said, oh, you're too much, and knowing that like this person's willing
- 12:11to sit and hold space with me and saying like okay, cool, I
- 12:15get that you're angry, give me and I'll talk about it. And that
- 12:18was like amazing. Like, I had some clients that people, unfortunately at
- 12:22the facility I've previously worked out, we're labeling them of like oh yeah,
- 12:26that's she's a tough one. And I got to see that person all the
- 12:31time. Yeah, all the time. Yeah. So that was the part
- 12:35that was like, that was so rewarding to be like, oh, I
- 12:39know they can come in my office and be seen all parts of them and
- 12:43then that gives them permission to start to show up as a different version of
- 12:48themselves. That was the part that was so good. Where does all this,
- 12:52I mean, you sound amazing. Where does this come from? Did
- 12:56you start out like this? I think if you probably were to ask,
- 13:03my family probably probably came out of the womb in some ways. So I
- 13:07think from my own trauma. That's the reality of it. You know.
- 13:11It's like, I love my family, and I'm very grateful that I have
- 13:16several family members who have really done the work as well. We've had to
- 13:20have some really hard conversations, but the reality is I grew up with a
- 13:26lot of conflict in my house, and so I was sort of thrust into
- 13:30this first role from a very young age. That's why I say that people
- 13:33pleasing codependent. I one hundred percent took on the label of like being the
- 13:37good the good daughter, whatever that may mean. You know, really lost
- 13:43my connection with myself, which makes sense my struggles in my twenties, like
- 13:46how would I figure out my career when I didn't even know how to really
- 13:50connect with what was my truth? Being willing to let people be angry and
- 13:56upset with me. So yeah, from a very young age, I was
- 14:00being playing a therapist for my parents, trying to de escalate conflicts, trying
- 14:05to help them to slow down and make sure that they're talking to each other
- 14:09and not storming and slamming doors and name calling and all that. So,
- 14:13you know, really just growing up in a highly emotionally reactive household with a
- 14:20lens and a mask of thinking it was a super loving household and then also
- 14:24realizing like, oh but maybe a b aren't adding up. So I say,
- 14:30it's like, in some ways, that's the resiliency that can come from
- 14:33trauma. Is there was a lot of hurts, a lot of things that
- 14:37I had to shed, you know, in my life, and a lot
- 14:43of therapy that I had to go to to be like, this isn't serving
- 14:46me. Being a people pleaser, being codependent telling people what I think they
- 14:50want to hear just to avoid rejection and avoid conflict is causing them pain.
- 14:54Me pain. I don't even know who I am, and so I had
- 14:58to work on those things. But then the other part of it is I
- 15:01give me an angry client, give me a client who wants to scream,
- 15:05and I'm like, sam me up, Like I can de escalate, like
- 15:09nobody's business. I'm like, I got this. So I'm like I could
- 15:13take these things that were these beautiful traits that really helped me to become an
- 15:18amazing therapist and to be patient and to see all perspectives. Like that's probably
- 15:24why I am so good at the addiction world, is I could see all
- 15:28of the parts, and all the parts play their roles, and yet I
- 15:33have to work on And this is the benefit of becoming also a therapist is
- 15:35I had to work on oh anger is okay, And conflict is so beautiful
- 15:41because it gives us the opportunity for repair. So it's been a cool life
- 15:46journey. Yeah, yeah, beautifully said. So now for forgive my naivete
- 15:52here. But there's a uh, there seems to be an understand like a
- 16:00cultural understanding that recovery is a long process, right, It's it's almost understood,
- 16:08like you're going to go into recovery multiple times. That seems to be
- 16:12understood. Is there truth to that? Is that just the way? It
- 16:17is? Absolutely? And I think you know this is where it's not just
- 16:23substances. I view recovery as recovery from maladaptive, unhealthy, harmful behaviors and
- 16:36the ways of thinking, and that is undoing, like a huge foundation and
- 16:41framework. You know, for most of us, it's childhood, or it's
- 16:45our early relationships, it's the way that we view life, the way that
- 16:48we view relationships, the way that we view relationships with authority, figures with
- 16:53men with women, and we develop these ways of coping. And so for
- 16:57a lot of people, it's we all I think all of us numb out
- 17:02in some ways, whether it's I'm taking a nap, I'm gonna, you
- 17:04know, spend hours on TikTok, I'm going to go shopping, I'm gonna,
- 17:10you know, have an unhealthy relationship with food either eat you know,
- 17:12too much or too little, or I'm gonna, you know, engage in
- 17:15a substance to try. And I mean it's so common of people being like,
- 17:18you know, talking about wine moms, I've had a stressful day,
- 17:22I'm gonna have my wine after work. You know, right, it is
- 17:26a lifelong journey. I love that point. Yeah, let's talk about soft
- 17:30rows. So software's recovery. How did that come about? Yeah, so
- 17:37our CEO is in recovery himself. He is a very smart and talented individual.
- 17:45And I feel very lucky to have had us just kind of stumble into
- 17:48each other's lives. A person I previously worked at the residential facility had reached
- 17:55out to me years later. I was no longer at the residential facility and
- 18:00thought, I was like, I need a break from treatment centers. I
- 18:02had unfortunately a lot of not the best experiences with leaders throughout my career and
- 18:07was like, I'm going to just do my private practice. I would to
- 18:10do this thing on my own. And this guy reached out and said,
- 18:15Hey, there's an IOPPHP opening in Jacksonville, Florida, and this guy's looking
- 18:21for a clinical director and someone to develop the program, and you know,
- 18:25I'm not really in it, but I'll get you guys in contact, and
- 18:29got in contact with Nick and Stars aligned. So him being in his recovery
- 18:36journey, he really felt passionate about this level of care. You know,
- 18:38there's a lot of residentials and there's a lot of really good residential facilities.
- 18:44There was not an abundance of this sort of aftercare, and there's a lot
- 18:48of outpatient therapists, not enough, but they do exist. And so this
- 18:53in between level, which I love. I think it's like the cream of
- 18:59the or however that's saying goes. It is like perfect for me because it's
- 19:03intensive, you get to work in a team. The clients get really immersed
- 19:07in this healing, but yet they're not away from from life. They're still
- 19:11having to deal with triggers. They're so I'm gonna go to the grocery store
- 19:15and you know, drive past the liquor store and you know, still exists,
- 19:19still have to plan for dinner and deal with traffic, but they get
- 19:23really intense support. So that's why I love it. But yeah, we
- 19:27just kind of came into each other's lives and our values really aligned. He
- 19:34really really cares about the clients, like he client centered passion is you would
- 19:40think he's a therapist. He's not. He's a West Point grad Stanford,
- 19:44MBA. Like he's definitely like more of a bitter. We created Softwares in
- 19:48and of itself. He created the business, and then I created the clinical
- 19:55okay, so like I developed the group program, I you know, created
- 20:00the like the therapy component. I don't know how I did it, but
- 20:03I did it. Now, just to be clear, So this is not
- 20:06a residential facility. It is not okay, so anyone can go there or
- 20:12is it most opportune or most optimized for people who've already done residential and then
- 20:18they come to you guys, So we do both. We have some people
- 20:21who have done residential and then they step down, so it's like the step
- 20:25down aftercare. But we have some people who maybe don't meet criteria for residential
- 20:32it's not necessarily that severe, or some people who are just flat out refusing
- 20:37and then they also go So like I view addiction on such a spectrum,
- 20:40and so it's that part of it being like some people maybe aren't to that
- 20:44super severe, like they could stop on their own but we don't want to
- 20:47just white knuckle it. We don't want to just be like, Okay,
- 20:48I'm not using a substance, but I've not developed any new tools. So
- 20:52that's where we come in to really not only how to stay sober tools,
- 20:56but how to human healthier, how to exist in this world in a more
- 21:00balanced way. And that's where we come in and really provide those tools,
- 21:04provide that support, provide this safe, supportive, loving environment. So yeah,
- 21:11anyone, I say, it's sort of like a part time slash full
- 21:15time job, you know, And that's the people who you know come and
- 21:18really invest and immerse themselves into this program. Because you're getting groups, you're
- 21:22getting individual we have medical providers like you're just getting kind of sounds amazing,
- 21:26A warm hug. Yeah, it's amazing. It is when you said you
- 21:33when you said, Okay, I'm going to do this, I'm going to
- 21:36take on this job. What are some of the elements, qualities, the
- 21:41things that you wanted to bring to this program that maybe you felt weren't around
- 21:48or were lacking. Yeah, I think first and foremost, I wanted to
- 21:55hire well and I wanted to ensure my team also felt safe, supported,
- 22:03respected I don't necessarily think treatment is fully reinventing the game. There's bits and
- 22:10pieces with it. Like so we do offer yoga, we have nutrition,
- 22:12health and wellness, so like we try to and then we also have the
- 22:15medication propone it, so like we try to address like the full person.
- 22:21So yes, that's not like mind altering brand new information. You know,
- 22:26we are doing like some basic therapy, the CBT skills, the DBT skills.
- 22:30We're doing an understanding trauma, introducing people to what trauma is, you
- 22:34know, communication skills, emotion regulation skills, like all of that stuff.
- 22:41But I think first and foremost it is if I can hire well, but
- 22:45I can retain my team, and I can create a space, I say,
- 22:48like a therapist where the container for sort of all of the stuff we
- 22:52helped our clients to hold it. I want to make sure that I give
- 22:56the container everything it needs to be successful. And so I want my team
- 23:02to feel that they have resources, that they have support, they can come
- 23:06to me, that anything can exist, like they can come as they're messy,
- 23:11imperfect versions of themselves and know that like that's okay. Let's talk about
- 23:15it and figure out how I can best support you. That's what's different.
- 23:18I can hire well and I can keep really good therapists who are so passionate
- 23:23about this work. My team cares. I mean, we have a channel
- 23:26communication channel that's a celebration channel, and they are like constantly celebrating each other
- 23:33of like oh yeah, and they teamwork. They're jumping in for each other
- 23:36and it's just amazing. I think that's why we're changing the game. You
- 23:40come in the door and you feel, oh, people want to be here
- 23:44and they care. They're not just saying things that sound nice. They buy
- 23:48it. That's the difference. That's crucial. I mean that your ability to
- 23:56provide that space where those therapists can feel like they can show themselves without fear
- 24:03of oh my god, I'm going to get fired or I'm not going to
- 24:07be viewed and I'm going to be viewed as lesson or not a good therapist.
- 24:11That's crucial. And that space that allows them to do that just fuels
- 24:17their energy and creativity, which of course then trickles down with the clients.
- 24:22You know, yeah, that's amazing. Wow. Yeah. Soft ros Is
- 24:30Where is it in? Jacksonville, Florida, So Northeast Florida Okay, now
- 24:38people, Now it's is everything you guys offer is it in that space?
- 24:44You know? Are you doing any online stuff or what? So quick question.
- 24:48So we're opening Jacksonville, Florida. We are opening hopefully in the next
- 24:52two weeks in Tampa, so Temple Terrace near Bush Gardens, USF. That
- 24:57area will be doing the same thing a php IOP. We already have an
- 25:03amazing team hired there, love them, so grateful for the team that we
- 25:07got there as well. And then in the next few months, once Tampa
- 25:11is up and running, we're going to launch a virtual program which will be
- 25:15really for clients who are in the middle of a state, clients who are
- 25:19like the nearest treatment is two hours away. You know, even an hour
- 25:25an hour plus is a long way if you're driving somewhere three days a week.
- 25:30So we really want to be able to offer to people who don't have
- 25:33access to that a program that's still top tier, super awesome. So we're
- 25:37still in the process of launching like what that looks like, to kind of
- 25:41tweak it to make sure that those clients still get the same exact type of
- 25:45experience and still that feel of like these people are in my corner really care,
- 25:49even if they're through a screen. That's awesome. Now, as we
- 25:53kind of wind down here, I want to ask you a question, just
- 25:57so that everyone doesn't think you're superwoman. I want you to share. I
- 26:03want you to share like an early clinical experience where you like, holy crap,
- 26:10I can't do this, this sucks up? You know what? Am
- 26:14I doing? Many of those? And so now I'm going to supervise many
- 26:21of my people on my team. And I say all the time, like,
- 26:22that's such a normal And I think a healthy experience as a therapist to
- 26:26be like I don't know what I'm doing. I still have experiences where I'm
- 26:30like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like, that's good because if
- 26:33I use that as long as I don't spiral in a like feeling small and
- 26:37insecure. But if I use it to be like, well, let me
- 26:40take a check in with myself, like am I tired or burnt out?
- 26:44Am I needing to do some more professional development? Is there something I would
- 26:48want to do differently in that situation? And sometimes the answer to those things
- 26:51is yes, and so it does fuel me. Other times it's just simply
- 26:55saying like no, I would do it exactly the same. It's just the
- 26:57way that things aligned. But man, early in my career I talking about
- 27:03this journey of growth and healing. I mean, I wouldn't have been able
- 27:06to do this. I once co facilitated a group and I stayed silent the
- 27:12entire It was an hour and a half group and I didn't say a word.
- 27:17And I was a facilitator of this group. I didn't ask a question.
- 27:19I had a lot of thoughts in my head, but I just censored
- 27:25everything. And my co facilitator at the end was like, what happened right?
- 27:30And I was like, I was so anxious and I don't know,
- 27:33And I just allowed my fears and my censoring of myself to exist, which
- 27:40it still does exist, but it was in the forefront. And that was
- 27:42such a valuable lesson for me because as I was telling telling her like,
- 27:47well I thought about this at this moment, I would have said this,
- 27:49she was like, those were brilliant. That was perfect. And so it
- 27:55really kind of like I learned that I just have to sometimes take a risk.
- 28:00And I also learned, which I now teach my team, that there's
- 28:03not much that we could do wrong. We can you know, sometimes maybe
- 28:07make mistakes, but sometimes mistakes are beautiful because they give us an opportunity for
- 28:12that repair. It gives us an opportunity to even deepen and strengthen the connection.
- 28:18So that was a really valuable and awkward and uncomfortable learning experience, but
- 28:23one that I still reflect on because I'm like, wow, I started out
- 28:27feeling so small and that I could be wrong and I could do harm and
- 28:33I you know, I was like, let me just quiet, let me
- 28:36keep myself wrapped up so tight, and I recognized that like that was serving
- 28:41no one and no one would benefit from me blooming. And so I really
- 28:45learned to try and take those risks. And it's scary and it's hard.
- 28:48It's still scary, I mean doing these podcasts, like I still had a
- 28:52little bit like my heart racing ahead of time, but it was like,
- 28:56okay, like I could do the risks and the scary things because yes,
- 29:00usually it's worth it. Yeah, that's amazing, You're amazing. I love
- 29:03talking to you, man, love to have you back at later later time.
