We receive mixed messages about our emotions. We have "too much" of one feeling and "not enough" of another. My latest article explores how to understand and work with your feelings in a practical, meaningful way.

We live in a culture that sends deeply conflicting messages about emotions. On one hand, we're told to "follow our hearts" and "trust our feelings." On the other, we're praised for being "rational," "logical," and "in control" of our emotions—as if emotions are wild animals that need taming or inc...

Therapy is a personal journey and sometimes it’s tough to decide if you should stay, pause, or move on. My latest article explores some things to consider when figuring out what to do with therapy.

Are you stuck analyzing your emotions instead of truly feeling them? My latest post explores how intellectualizing can disconnect us from ourselves and our relationships, and how to reconnect with our emotions so we can fully inhabit our experiences.

Discover how traditional couples therapy often overlooks deeper relational wounds. Learn more about Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and its transformative approach to healing relationships.

Are you ready to try a different approach to therapy that goes beyond symptom management? Discover how memory reconsolidation therapies can create lasting, transformational change.

Traditional therapy often focuses on managing symptoms or developing coping strategies—learning to live with anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. But what if there was a way to actually transform the underlying emotional learnings that drive these struggles?

Emotions are often dismissed as weaknesses or hurdles to overcome, but your emotions are messages. Do you know what they're trying to tell you?

We live in a culture that often treats emotions as inconveniences—things to be managed, suppressed, or overcome. We praise people for being "rational" and "logical," while emotional responses are often seen as weakness or poor self-control. But what if this entire framework is backwards?
