Mornings don’t have to be perfect to be peaceful. 🌅
Here are 3 CBT-based tools I use with families in therapy to make back-to-school smoother:
✔ Catch the thought
✔ Reframe the expectation
✔ Anchor with micro-routines

Because when you’re parenting intense kids, your connection is more powerful than any checklist. 💛

Jacksonville parents—if you’re feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help. You don’t have to parent alone.

Your parenting matters. And so does your story.

When you pause and reflect, you give yourself space to parent with intention, not just survival. 🌿

Pick one of these prompts to write, doodle, or voice-note today.
👉 What feels hardest right now?
👉 What moments of connection felt good?
👉 What rhythms help your body feel safe?

Parents of intense kids—you don’t need to carry this alone. Therapy gives you room to breathe, process, and reconnect.

Journaling isn’t just writing—it’s a powerful mental health tool. In this video, we’ll explore how journaling works alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reduce anxiety, depression, and overwhelming thoughts, especially for teenagers. Learn how writing creates distance from negative thinking patterns, activates the logical brain, and builds resilience. Whether through a thought log, art journaling, or voice notes, this practice can bring clarity, healing, and hope. 💙

You dread mornings.
You feel like a drill sergeant before 8am.
Your kid melts down over socks—and you’re already at your breaking point.

If that’s you, you’re not failing. You’re parenting an intense kid in a world that wasn’t built for their sensitivities.

👉 As a counselor in Jacksonville, I help parents move from chaos to calm with simple, realistic tools.
Because parenting is hard enough—you don’t have to do it alone.

💛 Save this if you need the reminder: your nervous system matters too.

Back-to-school can feel like chaos on repeat when you’re parenting an intense or sensitive kid. Between early mornings, sensory overload, and emotions running high, it’s easy to feel like you’re already behind.

This month, I’m sharing therapy-informed parenting tools that bring calm, connection, and compassion back into your routines. 🌿

If you’re a mom or dad who feels burned out, overwhelmed, or even depressed from carrying it all—you’re not alone. As a therapist here in Jacksonville, I love supporting gifted, intelligent kids AND their equally intense parents.

✨ Follow along this month for practical CBT strategies, creative bonding tools, and reminders that you don’t have to do this alone.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of scrolling, sleeping, and shutdown?

You’re not lazy—you might be overwhelmed. In this video, we cover how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation can help teens (and adults!) get unstuck from depression using tiny, powerful steps.

Learn why movement matters when you're feeling low, how to hack your habits, discover your real motivators, and build positive momentum even when you're feeling numb, unmotivated, or alone.

I also share powerful tools for parents of depressed teenagers to support—not push—their child toward healing. Whether it’s sitting in the sun, setting a 5-minute timer, or creating reward systems, these bite-sized changes can spark real transformation.

💡 You’ll leave with actionable steps, empowering mindset shifts, and gentle ways to re-engage with life—even if you don’t feel ready. Because hope lives in small habits, repeated daily.

Are you stuck in a cycle of chasing emotionally unavailable partners?

In this video, we explore the deeper “why” behind relationship patterns that leave you feeling rejected, unseen, or unloved. We talk about childhood experiences, emotional neglect, and how to gently break free from the belief that you have to earn love. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?”—this video is your starting point.

Let’s get curious and take a compassionate look at the roots of your attachment patterns, so you can start choosing relationships that feel safe, consistent, and healthy.

💬 Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it's about understanding you. If this hits home, let’s connect.

🎯 Watch this if you're ready to take the first step toward feeling more grounded, resilient, and capable — even if it starts in your mind.

Are you struggling with depression or social anxiety? In this inspiring video, we explore how the power of visualization therapy can help you build confidence, reduce anxiety, and create real, positive change in your life — all starting in your imagination.

Whether you're a teen facing social anxiety at school or an adult battling the heaviness of depression, this video teaches you how to use mental rehearsal, imaginative play, and CBT-inspired visualization techniques to retrain your brain and move toward healing.

Learn how visualization:

*Builds new neural pathways for success and confidence
*Combats automatic negative thoughts
*Helps reframe anxious thinking patterns
*Encourages self-compassion and daily progress
*Makes therapy feel more playful and less clinical

👉 Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined success. So let’s practice winning.

🎯 Watch this if you're ready to take the first step toward feeling more grounded, resilient, and capable — even if it starts in your mind.

He wants to jump in the puddle, but panics when it’s bedtime.
She writes poetry that stuns you, but melts down over getting dressed.
Gifted doesn’t mean easy. It means intense.
Let’s stop expecting emotional maturity just because their vocabulary is impressive.
Let’s meet the child who’s hiding inside the intellect.
