Today I had the privilege of presenting at a local elementary school for career day! We had lots of fun learning how to become a licensed professional counselor, what my job consists of day to day, and we played bingo while learning about coping skills!

Seasonal Affective Disorder impacts about 5% of the population, and it can include feelings of sadness, changes in sleep and appetite, loss of energy, or even more severe depression symptoms. This can feel especially isolating around the holidays when joy is the focus.

Know you’re not alone in these feelings, and try some of these coping skills from UC Davis to manage the winter blues.

If these feelings sound familiar, reach out to me for a free consultation, and we’ll work on adding joy back into your winter season.

Boundaries are even more important around the holidays as we manage the expectations and extra socialization they bring with them. Prioritize your peace this year by remembering that you always have the right to say “no” to the things that overwhelm you or make you uncomfortable.

This week is Transgender Awareness Week! We take this opportunity to acknowledge the transgender community and the unique struggles they face, both in the US and across the globe.

Gender dysphoria can have a profound impact on experience of self, and thus on mental health. Compared to the general population, transgender individuals experience higher rates of mental illness - including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. These factors are compounded by the prevalence of gender-based discrimination and prejudice faced by those in the trans community. Visibility, support, and gender affirming care have all been shown to ease the stress and negative outcomes associated with gender dysphoria.

Support and learn about the trans community using the links in this post!

If you are struggling, reach out to me for a free consultation. You are not alone.

October is ADHD Awareness Month!

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that causes issues with executive functioning skills, like memory, concentration, and impulsivity. Symptoms can look different for different people, and range from difficulty focusing and lack of listening to risky behaviors, memory problems, and being quick to get angry.

There are several effective treatments for ADHD, including medication, therapy, and ADHD coaching - so don't go through it alone!

To learn more or access resources on ADHD, try the link below:
