The other week my wife and I had to sign some paperwork at a lawyer’s office... no, we’re fine; it wasn’t that kind of lawyer. As we were walking from our car to the office, I noticed my wife was struggling, which was unusual. The reason? Heels. Between kids and covid she hasn’t really worn heels … [Read more...]
Some Days We Just Have Low Patience
The other day my wife and I took the kids to Costco to get a few things (a few things that always cost a shockingly high amount because of how quickly they add up when you buy bulk). Getting out the door with a one and three year old can be a challenge, but it was a pretty average experience that … [Read more...]

This post is based on an idea that has been on my heart for awhile and I was pushed to do it after a number of clients asked me questions that will be answered below. The main … [Read more...]
Self Esteem Made Simple
My three year old, Gracie, has a superior grasp on emotional health than most grownups... by a long shot. She lets herself feel her emotions and knows how to comfort herself.

Why Men Don’t Do Chores
Women regularly complain to me as a therapist that their guy doesn’t do enough around the house – familiar? My wife has the opposite problem; she complains that I do too much… at least she used to.
