I'm an LPC dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, emotional challenges, trauma and life transitions.

I'm committed to compassionate, ethical care that supports growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

Lately, one theme keeps showing up in conversations with clients:

A lot of people are exhausted from carrying everything alone.

Not just physically exhausted. Emotionally exhausted.

Holding it together at work while falling apart internally. Feeling disconnected in relationships but not knowing how to explain it. Staying busy because slowing down means the thoughts catch up. Feeling guilty for being irritable, numb, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down.

Many people learned early on that survival meant pushing feelings aside, staying hyper-independent, or always being “the strong one.” Those strategies may have helped at one point, but eventually they can leave people feeling isolated, reactive, anxious, or disconnected from themselves and the people they care about.

Healing is not about becoming emotionless or perfectly regulated all the time. Often, it starts with learning how to slow down long enough to understand what your mind and body have been trying to say underneath the stress.

You do not have to wait until things completely fall apart to ask for support.

One of the most important concepts in ACT therapy is learning how to separate yourself from the thoughts and emotions you experience. Not every thought deserves obedience. Not every emotion deserves control of the steering wheel.

A simple intervention we use is third-person perspective taking.

Instead of: “I’m angry.” “I’m failing.” “I’m not enough.”
Try: “John is noticing anger showing up.” “John is having the thought that he is failing.” “John is noticing self-doubt right now.”

That small shift creates psychological distance. It allows you to observe the experience instead of becoming consumed by it.

Star Wars actually gives a great example of this.
Anakin Skywalker fused completely with fear, anger, shame, and loss. Every emotion became an absolute truth that demanded action. Instead of noticing fear, he became controlled by it.

Luke Skywalker, especially later in his journey, learned something different. Fear, grief, and anger still showed up, but he became more capable of observing those experiences without surrendering his values to them.

That is psychological flexibility.

ACT therapy is not about pretending painful thoughts and emotions do not exist. It is about learning how to make room for them without letting them define your identity or dictate your behavior.

You are the observer of the experience. You are not the experience itself.

Some Saturday sessions are heavy. Others end with Mario Kart trash talk and a reminder that healing also happens through connection, laughter, and being fully present with the people you love.

As a therapist, I spend a lot of time helping clients work through anxiety, grief, emotional burnout, ADHD-related overwhelm, relationship stress, and the pressure of trying to hold everything together while life keeps moving. One thing I talk about often is this: regulation is not only built in the hard conversations. It is also built in moments like this.
A living room. A race. Kids laughing. Competitive parents. Rosalina somehow taking over the leaderboard.

Mental health is not just crisis management. It is learning how to create more moments where your nervous system can finally exhale.

This weekend, I hope you make room for both the meaningful work and the meaningful memories. Even if that memory includes getting absolutely destroyed in Mario Kart.

A lot of people do not come to therapy because they are “struggling enough.”

They come because something is starting to feel off, even if they are still functioning.

I often work with adults, especially men and parents, who are new to therapy or unsure about it. Many of them are not looking for someone to analyze them or label everything they do. They are looking for a space where they can be direct, practical, and figure out what is actually going on without overcomplicating it.

Therapy does not have to feel abstract or uncomfortable. For a lot of people, it becomes more about learning how to manage stress, improve communication, reduce irritability, and get unstuck from patterns that keep showing up.

My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We focus on what is relevant, what is workable, and what actually changes things in your day-to-day life.
If you have never been to therapy before, or you are not sure it is for you, that is a completely valid place to start from.

Lately, it feels like everything is loud. News cycles move fast, opinions are intense, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed, distracted, or just stuck. Whether you are trying to stay focused, manage stress, or make sense of your place in all of it, you are not alone in that experience.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I especially enjoy working with men, women, and young adults who are trying to build motivation, improve focus, and feel more in control of their lives.
In times like these, having a space that is grounded, practical, and focused on you can make a real difference. Therapy is not about tuning out the world. It is about learning how to engage with it in a way that does not cost you your well-being.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to start, we can work through it together.

Mental health is not just about what happens in therapy sessions. It is shaped by daily habits, relationships, boundaries, and how we respond to stress.

Small changes can make a significant difference: improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, getting adequate rest, spending time with supportive people, and addressing challenges before they grow larger.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, behavioral concerns, family conflict, or life transitions, support and practical tools can help create meaningful change.

A large part of my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor focuses on children and adolescents because children often express distress through behavior, not words.

Irritability, defiance, withdrawal, difficulty focusing are often signals, not just “problems.” In therapy, I help children build emotional regulation, coping skills, and healthier behavioral patterns while partnering with parents to create structure and consistency at home.
I also work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence (ADHD, ODD), behavioral concerns, and life transitions. Whether the struggle is recent or long-standing, change is possible with the right structure and support.

Early intervention matters. Growth is achievable at any age.

From a mental health perspective, moments like spontaneously deciding to go bowling, eating pizza, and playing arcade games are not just “fun.” They are protective. Intentional time for connection, play, and shared experience reduces stress, strengthens attachment, and improves emotional regulation for both adults and children. Research consistently shows that positive family interactions build resilience and improve long-term outcomes.

Self-care is not always quiet or solitary. Sometimes it looks like laughter, movement, and stepping away from routine responsibilities to be fully present. It is about intentional restoration.

If your schedule feels overwhelming or connection feels strained, therapy can help you build practical strategies for balance, boundaries, and sustainable self-care.

Celebrating family and loved ones is an important part of mental health. Today I am celebrating my best friend (and partner in crime) Andie Cormier-Baulch.

From a clinical perspective, supportive relationships contribute to emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term functioning. At the same time, healthy relationships require clear boundaries. Showing up for others does not mean overextending yourself or neglecting your own needs. Sustainable support is built on balance, communication, and respect for limits.
In therapy, we work on strengthening connection while also helping individuals identify boundaries that protect their mental and emotional well-being. Both are necessary for healthy relationships and personal growth.

If you are struggling with boundaries, stress, or relationship dynamics, professional support can help.
