As the summer comes to a close in a couple weeks, everyone will be dashing through the stores and grabbing all the last minute dorm decorations and school supplies that they will need. Getting everything ready can be stressful in itself, but when the dust settles you may realize that getting that last child moved into college was the least of your troubles.

We often talk about the stress that kids face going off to college for the first time, but this time can be difficult for parents too. Watching your kids grow up and become self-sufficient can be hard especially when it’s your last child to leave. If you are having difficulty being an empty nester for the first time we have therapists who would be happy to take that journey with you.

Call or visit our website (link in bio) to find a therapist who will be the right match for you.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapy intern who uses a strength-based, collaborative approach rooted in Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and work to highlight resilience, build on existing strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, military families, first responders, couples, and families. My approach is culturally aware, affirming, and focused on practical, hope-driven solutions.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Disability Pride is an important movement and concept that emphasizes the positive aspects of living with a disability. It plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of identity, community, and self-acceptance among disabled individuals. Here are some key points on the importance of Disability Pride:

1. Promotes Self-Acceptance and Empowerment
-Affirming Identity: Disability Pride encourages individuals to view their disabilities as integral parts of their identity, rather than something to be ashamed of.
-Empowerment: It empowers disabled individuals by fostering a sense of pride and confidence, helping them to advocate for their rights and needs.

2. Challenges Negative Perceptions
-Breaking Stereotypes: It challenges societal stereotypes and misconceptions about disabilities, promoting a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the diverse experiences of disabled people.
-Reducing Stigma: By celebrating disabilities, Disability Pride helps reduce the stigma associated with them, encouraging acceptance and respect.

3. Fosters Community and Solidarity
-Building Community: Disability Pride events and movements help create a sense of community and solidarity among disabled individuals, providing support networks and a sense of belonging.
-Collective Advocacy: A united community is better equipped to advocate for systemic changes and accessibility improvements, benefiting the broader disabled population.

4. Raises Awareness and Education
-Public Awareness: Disability Pride events and campaigns raise public awareness about the challenges and achievements of disabled individuals, educating society about the importance of accessibility and inclusion.
-Highlighting Contributions: It showcases the contributions of disabled individuals to society, celebrating their achievements and talents.

Though many people enjoy the loud and colorful celebrations on the 4th of July, the holiday can be triggering for many veterans and others with PTSD or other mental health conditions.

This is not to say that you can’t celebrate with fireworks, however, one of the best things you can do is check in with your neighbors and make sure that they are aware that you will be setting off fireworks and when. If you have a family member who suffers from PTSD, it is always a good idea to ask them if they would like to participate in activities prior to fireworks and just let them know when the fireworks will begin.

Therapy can be kind of daunting when you have never really talked about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions before. Taking a moment to write down important events throughout your week can make it easier to think of things to talk about during therapy. This gives you a starting point and can help snow ball into other topics.

You could start with just a page in your notes app. If you really want to, you can start a physical journal dedicated just to things you want to bring up in therapy. Do whatever works for you. This is just a tool to help make therapy more productive and accessible to those who have never done it before.

Sometimes it can be easy to lose track of just how far you have come. We encourage you to take a few moments today to remember the strength it took to get where you are today.
Keep up the good work!

Being mindful as a therapeutic practice involves cultivating a heightened awareness and acceptance of the present moment, including one's thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.

This practice emphasizes non-judgmental observation and gentle redirection of attention, allowing individuals to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to respond to challenging situations with clarity and compassion, reducing stress, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering overall well-being.

Mindfulness techniques are often integrated into various therapeutic approaches, such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to promote mental health and personal growth.
