I definitely focus on sleep with new clients! Plays a big role in emotion regulation.

💤Sleep isn’t just a side note. It’s foundational. Dr. Laurie Ivey shares this reminder for psychologists: Ask about sleep. Talk about sleep. Protect sleep. It’s mental health care.

So true! If you are feeling like you need some support in this area, I can offer guidance and helpful tools for parenting well.

It’s tempting to think respect, patience, and self control are things we can demand from kids.

Most of the time, they’re things we teach.

Not in a lecture.
In the way we speak when we’re stressed.
In the way we handle frustration.
In the way we recover after we lose it.

Kids are watching how we do:

disagreement
disappointment
anger
mistakes
repair

If you want your child to speak respectfully, start with your tone.
If you want your child to pause before reacting, let them see you pause.
If you want your child to be kind to themselves, let them hear kindness from you even when they mess up.

This doesn’t mean you have to be calm all the time. Real families are messy.

It means you model what to do when you’re not proud of how you showed up.

And if you’re thinking, “Okay… but how do I actually lead like that when my strong-willed child pushes every button?”

That’s exactly what I’m teaching in my free live class:

Discipline Without Damage
🗓 Wednesday, March 4th
Live on Zoom (replay available)

You’ll learn how to set firm, calm limits without yelling, punishing, or losing your mind.

Comment DISCIPLINE and I’ll send you the details.

I have been inspired by Dr. Farmer’s life and works. I believe that being a caring professional requires me to look towards the underserved and fight injustice. I hope Dr. Farmer can inspire you too!

Dr. Paul Farmer didn’t just practice medicine, he documented injustice, amplified the voices of the poor, and taught generations through his writing.

Here are some of his most powerful works: https://www.pih.org/article/top-10-books-written-by-dr.-paul-farmer

I’m so excited to get back in the saddle, as they say! Maybe equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is just the thing that you’ve been looking for. It’s a great way to help kids and teens who haven’t thrived in traditional therapy. Yes, EAP happens even when it’s cold! 🥶 Come get your calm!

Not everyone is ready to sit on a couch and talk.

Horses offer another doorway — one rooted in movement, awareness, and connection.

With professional guidance from Dr. Amanda Trent, our therapy-supported programs stay ethical, grounded, and participant-centered.
