Big emotions don’t mean your teen is defiant.
They’re likely overwhelmed by pain, shame, or fear—and they don’t have the words for it yet.

Your calm curiosity can open the door to connection. 💬💛
Let’s stop punishing the pain and start seeing the story underneath.

🧠 This is how we begin to break the cycle of emotional dysregulation and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

🇺🇸 Celebrating Freedom—In Every Sense of the Word 🎆

248 years ago, a bold declaration gave birth to a new nation—built on the idea that freedom is worth fighting for.

Today, we honor that spirit—not just in fireworks and flags, but in the personal battles we fight every day.

As a therapist, I see that freedom also looks like: 🔹 A marriage finding its footing again
🔹 A family learning to thrive with ADHD
🔹 A teen discovering they’re not broken, just wired differently
🔹 A parent releasing shame and stepping into compassion

Mental health is its own revolution—one that brings hope, connection, and dignity back into the story.

> “Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.”
—Herbert Hoover

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate the country we love and the courage it takes to pursue freedom within ourselves and our relationships.

From Prairie View Counseling—Happy 4th of July!

Today we remember.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
Their courage.
Their sacrifice.
Their legacy.

May we never take their service for granted.

Some people are afraid of hurdles… and according to this totally scientific study, 9 out of 10 never get over it.

But let’s be honest—we all have hurdles.

Maybe it’s trauma.
Maybe it’s family-of-origin stuff.
Maybe it’s the chaos of parenting, or the heartbreak of broken relationships.
Maybe it's the daily struggle of living with ADHD—yours, your kid’s, or both.

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, this is your nudge:
You don’t have to face it all alone.

Whether you're trying to make sense of the past, navigate the present, or just feel like yourself again—counseling can help.

Midweek appointments available now.

Let’s work together to finally get over it.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and a reminder that caring for your mental health is just as important as caring for your body.

This weekend, I took the dogs out on the Cedar Niles trail. About halfway through, one of them just hit a wall. She stopped walking. Four times. She was tired, overwhelmed, and needed a little encouragement to keep moving. Sound familiar?

Sometimes life hits us the same way. Marriage gets hard. Parenting feels impossible. ADHD, anxiety, burnout—it can all pile up. A good walk and some fresh air can help, but sometimes you need more. You need a place to talk, to process, to breathe again.

If you’re feeling stuck, I’m here. I’m currently accepting new clients—teens, adults, and parents of kids with ADHD. Let’s figure it out together.

Swipe to see a pediatrician I’m proud of.

Dr. Megan Loeb (aka my wife) was quoted in a Johnson County Post article about the recent measles outbreak and why more families are getting their kids’ MMR booster early.

She said:
“We want families to feel like we’re a person that both has knowledge and that they trust.”
That’s exactly who she is.

MMR saves lives. Talk to your doctor. Protect your kids. Protect your community.

Living with ADHD isn’t a character flaw. It’s not about laziness or bad parenting or trying harder.

It’s a different way of experiencing the world — fast-moving, emotionally intense, and often exhausting.

I know it personally. And I see it every day in my office — teens who feel overwhelmed and misunderstood, adults burning out at work or in relationships, and parents trying their best but feeling like they’re always one step behind.

That’s why I started Prairie View Counseling.

My goal isn’t just to help people “manage” ADHD. I want to help clients focus, grow, and thrive — by understanding their brain, building structure that works, and finding hope in who they are (not just what they do).

If you or someone you love is navigating ADHD, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
