💭 Ever felt like you're always doing something just to feel okay?

Sometimes, keeping busy helps us cope with sadness or stress. But when it becomes a way to avoid feeling, it can keep us stuck in a cycle that deepens depression over time.

In my latest blog post, I explore the hidden side of staying busy—and how to tell the difference between healing activity and emotional avoidance.

Men and Trauma: Why Silence Isn’t Strength
So many men carry emotional wounds they were never taught how to talk about. Trauma in men often looks like anger, withdrawal, or “just pushing through”—but it’s still pain.
In my newest blog, I unpack how trauma shows up in men, why it’s often missed, and how therapy can help—even when words are hard to find.

Let’s talk about anxiety.
Not as something to get rid of, but something to understand.

We’ve all been there. That racing heart, that knot in your chest, that voice that won’t quiet down.
Dr. Jean-Machelle Benn-Dubois reminds us that anxiety isn’t the enemy. It’s part of being human. It's a message from within saying, “Something’s changing. You’re stepping into new territory.”

Here’s what we can try:
💚 Listen before judging it.
💚 Ask what your anxiety is trying to tell you.
💚 Recognize your triggers with compassion.
💚 And most of all ... stop fighting yourself.
