Most of us think we are our loudest trait.

"I'm just an angry person."
"I'm just bad at conflict."
"I'm just not emotionally wired like that."

But what if that isn't your identity?

What if it's just one slider turned up too high?

In this week's blog, I share an analogy I use often in therapy — your life as a soundboard.

Growth isn't uniform.
Maturity isn't perfection.
And you are not your loudest fader.

If you've ever felt frustrated by uneven growth in yourself (or someone you love), this one is for you.

If you’re like me, you often think, learn, or process in terms of analogies. One analogy that I’ve found myself discussing in session quite a lot lately is that of a soundboard.Have you ever seen a soundboard at a concert or even at church? It’s the big electronic board that has a bunch of lig...

Marriage therapy isn’t about advice or blame.

At Crossroads, couples work is grounded in evidence-based models that help partners understand emotional patterns, rebuild trust, and move forward with clarity.

Many couples come in functioning, but disconnected.
The goal isn’t just to turn down the arguing; it’s to feel alive as a couple again.

Some experiences don’t need years of talk therapy — they need skilled, focused intervention.

EMDR can be effective for 1) people seeking targeted support after a recent overwhelming or traumatic experience or 2) those who feel like their past experiences are plaguing their present-day relationships and responses.

Our clinicians are trained to handle high-intensity material with steadiness, care, and respect for your pace.

I've written that line after pages of worry and overthinking in my journals. And every time, it marks a shift in perspective.

When I stop focusing on myself and turn back to God, and toward others, something shifts. Gratitude replaces complaint. Clarity comes. God moves.

If you feel stuck in a loop today:
Bring it to God.
Let it go.
Turn outward.
Trust Him.

He is faithful.

I still had my hospital wristband on. If we could be really quiet as we crawled in bed, we wouldn’t wake up our 5 year old son, who would be getting up for school soon, or my brother-in-law, who had just moved in with us following a life-changing cancer diagnosis. My stage four endometriosis was f...
