This blog is the first in a year-long series where I will co-author blogs with various other professionals. This time I have teamed up with a fantastic couple therapist, Robin Temple, MA, MSW.

We are about to enter many people’s favorite time for the year – from Thanksgiving to New Year. I get it; being thankful, appreciating friends, family, and other blessings you may have in your life, good cheer toward humanity, hopefulness about the upcoming year. All good things! But not all people love everything about this […]

Working, personal life, and taking care of children keeps most of us busy regularly. As COVID lingers on, many are becoming more stressed and overwhelmed if you throw in some executive function challenges that takes it to a whole new level of overwhelming. You can bring some harmony to your home and your life. Here […]
Happy New Year’s! Have you failed in your resolutions yet? I have found that my clients often want to develop too many new habits. The New Year is a clean slate that allows people to start over from fresh is often the general belief. While that is partly true, it is not the whole truth. […]
