FALL-Back in Love With Yourself
The changing seasons offer us an objective timeline to reassess, reflect, admire, critique, reinvent, unlearn, and appreciate ourselves and our growth. The official start to fall begins on September 22nd, which allows for a little over a week to begin the process of checking-in with yourself. Emphasis on begin. Think of September 22nd as a reminder, rather than a deadline.
Quiet Quitting: An Opportunity to Reassess Your Work Satisfaction
Have you been hearing about the new workplace trend called “quiet quitting?” Through a flurry of Tik Tok videos that were posted in mid-late August of this year, workers across the country were commenting on how work habits, expectations, and motivations have been shifting over the last few years under the umbrella of “quiet quitting.”

988: Yay or Nay?
For the last two weeks, news of the updated 988 National Suicide Prevention Hotline number have been plastered all over the internet: posts with explanations for what the new hotline means for those in crisis, posts with celebratory language to mark a new era for mental health response, and posts that scrutinize the hotline’s capacity and confidentiality.
Therapy Alphabet Soup
One of the brilliant and tedious truths about living in the 21st century is having easy access to endless information. It can be relieving to type a set of symptoms or a question into Google and be met with options, explanations, and next steps. It can also leave a person feeling overwhelmed and flooded with new information.
Socializing after a Pandemic
COVID-19 has changed the ways in which people socially engage with one another. A “return to normal” might seem desirable at first glance, but minimizing the ways that COVID-19 has impacted our world is unfair to both ourselves and to our community.
Finding Control in a Changing World
In our country, in our state, in our community, and in our relationships we are constantly changing, growing, and disagreeing. While change might be a common phenomenon, it is natural for different and new changes to throw us off and even create distress in our lives
Are you psychoanalyzing me?
As a psychoanalyst, people often approach me and ask something like “what is mental health?” Usually this comes in the form of a joking question, “are you analyzing me?” I try to respond thoughtfully, recognizing that somehow a mental health professional may make people uncomfortable, as if I am judging them. I try to reassure them, I have enough on my plate and I’m not looking to work outside of the office.
