Today is Election Day! 🇺🇸

I’m so grateful for my right to vote, and I’m proud to say I’ve voted in every single election that I could have since I turned 18. I already voted by mail-in ballot a few weeks ago, and I was excited to receive an email that my vote was counted.

Voting is one way that we can make our voice heard and shape the future we’d like for our children.

As we teach our children about civic responsibility and standing up for what matters, we can model these values through our actions.

If you’re eligible, please vote today!

Your child tells you they're being bullied, now what?

When your child is being bullied, it's natural to want to protect them and fix everything right away.

As a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and child and adolescent psychologist, I've seen first-hand how children's peer experiences can impact their emotional well-being and sense of belonging in school.

As we wrap up Bullying Prevention Month, here are a few strategies that might help if your child is being bullied:

đź’›Listen before problem-solving. Give your child some space to share what happened without immediately jumping into solutions.
đź’›Validate their feelings. Let them know that it's okay to feel hurt, embarrassed, angry, sad, and anxious, and that they don't deserve to be treated that way.
đź’›Pay attention to any changes. Note differences in behavior, mood, sleep, friendships, or willingness to attend school.
đź’›Partner with the school. Share your concerns (provide written documentation), ask what steps can be taken to help your child feel safe, and follow up to see whether things improve.
đź’›Keep checking in. Even after you've taken action, your child might need ongoing emotional support.

Telling your child to ignore bullying may unintentionally put the responsibility on them to stop the behavior.

Your child needs to know that you'll listen to them, take them seriously, and help them figure what to do next.

In my last post, I talked about savoring: slowing down, noticing, and appreciating the good moments in our lives. đź’›

We can take it step further by thinking about what makes those moments meaningful to us in the first place.

That’s where our values come in.

I recently purchased this digital values card file that I cut and laminated from a woman-owned small business and I’m really excited to add these cards my therapy toolkit!

These cards can help you explore questions such as:

đź’­ What kind of person do I want to be?
đź’› What do I want my relationships to look like?
🌱 What do I want to make more space for in my life?
đź§­ Are my everyday choices aligned with what matters the most to me?

Values aren’t goals to check off a list. Rather, they’re a compass that helps guide us toward a more meaningful life.

When we understand what matters the most to us, we can make more intentional choices, even when life becomes busy, stressful, or overwhelming.

The values pictured in this post are some of the ones that are the most meaningful to me.

đź’¬ If you had to choose ONE value that matters the most to you right now, what would it be?

Your brain keeps asking, ”Should I check again?” And no matter how many times you check, the doubt returns.

For someone living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), this can be a really exhausting cycle.

OCD is more than just being super organized, preferring things to be a certain way, or wanting to be clean. It can look like intrusive thoughts, repeated checking, mental rituals, and constantly seeking reassurance.

And sometimes, the most difficult parts of OCD are the ones that no one else can see.

💚 OCD is treatable, and you or your child don’t have to manage it alone.

This OCD Awareness Week, join me in moving beyond stereotypes to building a better understanding of what OCD really looks like.

October is ADHD Awareness Month! đź’›

I often hear parents say that their child doesn't have ADHD, because they can pay attention when they are engaged in activities they love. But ADHD is so much more than just difficulty paying attention. It's a different way of navigating and experiencing the world.

ADHD can significantly affect executive functioning skills, such as organization, task initiation, time management, and emotional regulation, across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. At the same time, ADHD individuals bring incredible creativity, curiosity, energy, big ideas, humor, and unique ways of thinking.

Whether through therapy, testing, or parent support, I have so much fun working with my ADHD clients and families and helping them recognize their strengths. đź’›

This ADHD Awareness Month, please join me in clarifying understanding about ADHD and helping connect children, teens, and adults with support.
