Understanding CBT: A Powerful Tool for Managing Anxiety

Anxiety & Coping Strategies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, practical approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It’s particularly effective for managing anxiety, as it teaches you how to recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while developing healthier, more constructive ways to respond to stress. Common CBT coping strategies include grounding techniques, reframing negative thoughts, and identifying your emotions to process them more effectively. These tools empower you to feel more grounded or “in your body” and better prepared to navigate anxious moments with greater ease and confidence. One tool or strategy I often use with clients is exploring an emotions wheel to name and connect with their emotional experience. Furthermore, if you are an app lover, an additional resource we may explore using outside of session is the How We Feel App. Both are linked here below.

What is my Attachment style? And why does it matter when navigating any relationship?

Interpersonal & Family Conflict

Your attachment style is the way you naturally connect, communicate, and respond to others in close relationships. Shaped by early experiences, it can influence how you handle conflict and trust in both romantic and personal connections. Whether your style leans more secure, anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in between, understanding it can be a powerful step toward building healthier, more fulfilling relationships. When you better understand how you relate to others—especially in the context of your attachment style—it's easier to build deeper, more meaningful connections. Working with a therapist can support this process by helping you explore your patterns, identify your needs, and develop healthier ways of connecting in both romantic and personal relationships.

Mindfulness-Based Techniques for Educators' Burnout

Reclaim Your Light: Mindfulness for Burnout

If you're a teacher, school counselor, or therapist, you're used to holding space for others—but it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs along the way. When burnout leaves you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, mindfulness can help you reconnect with yourself and restore your sense of purpose. By slowing down and tuning into the present moment you can create space to connect, process, and heal. Mindfulness isn’t about doing more, it’s about coming home to yourself, so you can continue showing up with clarity, intention, and care. Mindfulness also doesn’t have to take up your entire day.
