Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the busyness of your environment – the people, the noises, the tasks, or even your own racing thoughts? Mindfulness is a technique that allows people to escape the clutter of their mind, let go and be fully present in the moment.

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you are likely aware of AI use and its growing popularity in virtually every area of our lives.

Friday, October 10th, 2025, was World Mental Health Day.  How did you commemorate this observance?  Honestly, I gave it a brief thought and carried on with my day.  I wasn’t intentional about how I managed my mental health on this day, and I don’t think that was the point.

Suicide touches so many more lives than most people realize. While suicidal ideation doesn’t always lead to suicide, it’s still dangerous, underreported, and not really talked about for several reasons.

June is a month to celebrate awareness, and while there are many causes celebrated during this month, one of the most visible is Pride.

September is National Self-Care Awareness Month. So this month, don’t feel guilty for having a little extra “me time”. The term “self-care” has become more and more popular throughout the years, but I still get the question, “What actually is self-care?” from a lot of clients. From my experience, it is definitely NOT eating a whole bag of Doritos in one sitting. Just in case anyone was wondering.

What’s your favorite song? For many, including myself, it’s impossible to answer that question. We may be able to identify our favorite genre instead. No matter our taste in music, we all use music in similar ways- to remember a special occasion- such as a wedding, to give a boost to clean the house, to wind down from a long day’s work, to focus on a study project, etc. Music is an integral part of our lives.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual observance designed to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and encourage individuals to take action to improve their own mental wellbeing.
