As humans, we thrive on connection, and while introverts may be quietly […]

Online Therapy, Coronavirus, & Coping with Anxiety

March 13, 2020 by laura

What a time we’re living in. My son’s school district announced yesterday that they would be closing until their scheduled spring break, totalling 4 weeks away from school. 4 WEEKS.

Same Team!! – Are You Working With Your Partner or Against Them?

October 14, 2019 by laura

My son is six and recently started playing soccer. It’s quite adorable, and at times comical, to watch the team try to figure out how to play this new-to-them game, with rules and regulations. Oftentimes, the coach, as well as the parents from the sideline, will need to remind the players with the phrase, “Same […]

You Are What You Watch: What The Content We Consume Does To Our Mental Heath

February 21, 2019 by laura
