Happy Thursday! I am excited to announce that yesterday I launched a mini course for the every day person on managing anger, called Harnessing the Power of Anger.

This two hour self-paced course is designed to help:

-Learn more about anger and what it’s really signaling

-Identify ones unique triggers and patterns

-Understand the root causes of your anger

-Identify effective coping strategies

-Create a personalized Anger Strategy Plan

Anger doesn't need to be feared. It needs to be understood.

The course costs $47 and includes a series of short videos and easy-to-use worksheets to help apply what is learned.

This course is not a substitute for therapy, but it’s a powerful first step to begin to understand and manage anger.

Anger is complicated.

It can show up fast, linger underneath the surface, or get buried until it finally erupts. For many, anger feels overwhelming—or totally disconnected.

After previously writing two worksbooks on anger (one for Children and one for Teens), I decided to create a self-paced course to help people make sense of their anger and learn to work with it, not against it.

Releasing this Wednesday (May 14th), this 2 hour course includes:
• Learning more about anger—what it is, how it works, and why it shows up
• Identifying personal triggers and patterns
• Strategies to manage anger effectively
• A guided process to create a personalized anger plan

The course is $47 and designed to be practical, accessible, and grounded in real-life application.

Whether someone tends to avoid anger or is feeling ruled by it, this course offers a way to understand it—and respond with more clarity and choice.
Feel free to share with clients, colleagues, or anyone who might benefit.

I'm thrilled to be presenting my training, Intro to Using EMDR with Children with Ease, this morning! Excited to share valuable insights and practical tools for integrating EMDR with young clients.

It was an absolute joy to present Weekend 3 of the EMDR Basic Training this past weekend. As I reflect on the experience, I’m excited to realize that I’ve now had the opportunity to train my 50th clinician in EMDR therapy. While the number may seem modest, it's amazing to know that each of these professionals is now equipped to guide their clients through the transformative process of healing trauma.

They say to do what you love and I most certainly am.

As we step into the new year, it's a wonderful time for reflection and renewal. Taking a moment to look back, I find joy in acknowledging what worked and letting go of what no longer serves me. Saying goodbye makes room for exciting possibilities ahead.

Each year, I try to embrace trying something new, which this last week just so happened to be skiing. To my delight, it was not only enjoyable but also challenged my preconceptions about my physical abilities.

So, here's a friendly nudge for you: why not embrace something new this year? Push your boundaries and constraints you may have unknowingly imposed upon yourself, and discover the incredible potential you may have underestimated.

Wishing you an amazing journey in the coming year!

It's finally here! Today is a beautiful day—my brand new book, Anger Management Workbook for Teens: Exercises and Tools to Overcome Your Anger and Manage Your Emotions, is officially out in the world for you all to read and enjoy.

It's been a wild ride from start to finish, and I'm thrilled that it's complete. I hope you or a teen in your life enjoys reading the book as much as I loved writing it. This book supports pre-teens and teens in learning, understanding and obtaining skills in managing their anger.

Today I celebrate the beginning of my 37th year on this planet. It feels like it's been much longer and not as long, both at the same time.

I am so excited to share that my 2nd workbook: Anger Management for Teens, is going to be published next month!

I want all teens to know that their anger is not something bad or that it has to overpower them. But instead they can harness and hone it for their benefit!

I am thrilled to be putting this out into the world!
