I’m so excited to share a special project close to my heart — a children’s book series inspired by true family memories of my kids and our beloved dogs, Rover and Cole.

This collection includes six heartwarming stories, each filled with gentle life lessons, emotional growth, and meaningful moments that children can relate to and learn from. From friendship and courage to learning from mistakes and feeling safe, Rover and Cole take young readers on adventures that are both fun and meaningful.

These stories were created not just to entertain, but to help children understand their feelings, build confidence, and feel connected.

Perfect for your little ones, grandkids, or as a thoughtful gift for families.

Thank you for supporting this journey — I hope these stories bring as much joy to your homes as they have to ours.

These sample pages are from the story where Cole decides to jump from the roof and earns the title of a “Flying Dog.”

Don’t worry — no dog was harmed in the real-life event. 💛

Curious to see what happens next? Read the full story and explore all six adventures in the Adventures of Rover and Cole series, now available on Amazon.

Excerpt from my up coming book: Inside the Therapy Room

Excerpt from my upcoming book, Stoics,Marcus Aureliusand CBT therapy

Stoic philosophy, particularly the writings of Marcus Aurelius, offers insights that closely resemble principles used in modern psychotherapy. The Stoics believed that emotional suffering often arises not from events themselves but from the judgments and interpretations we attach to them. This idea echoes the foundation of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches that thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations shape emotional responses. When individuals learn to question automatic assumptions and reinterpret difficult experiences, they gain greater emotional regulation and resilience. In many ways, Stoicism anticipated what contemporary therapeutic practices now emphasize: awareness of thought patterns, the ability to pause before reacting, and the understanding that, while we cannot always control events in life, we can learn to shape our responses to them.

The Tight Rope of Modern Marriages: Balancing Roles and Expectations

Men are increasingly expected to redesign their roles within the household, becoming more emotionally available, actively engaged in parenting, and equally responsible for domestic tasks. While these expectations reflect positive social progress, they also present a significant adjustment for many men.
Most were not raised with the emotional tools necessary to communicate openly, process vulnerability, or express relational needs in healthy ways. As a result, many men feel confused, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to meet these evolving demands. They may want to show up differently, yet lack the emotional language or internal framework to do so effectively.
The traditional model of masculinity, which emphasized financial provision, emotional restraint, and stoicism, has gradually given way to a new relational standard that values emotional presence, partnership, and mutual respect. Today’s marriages often require men to participate not only as providers but also as nurturers, collaborators, and emotionally engaged partners.
This transition can feel like walking a tightrope. On one side lies the identity many men were taught to embrace, characterized by strength through silence and independence. On the other side stands a modern expectation that calls for openness, emotional labor, and shared vulnerability. Trying to balance these two worlds can create inner conflict, emotional shutdown, or resistance to change.
At the same time, women who were once confined primarily to domestic roles have gained unprecedented access to education, career opportunities, and personal autonomy. Many women are now pursuing professional goals, financial independence, and leadership roles that were unimaginable in previous generations.
Marriage is no longer a financial necessity for survival. Instead, it has become a choice rooted more in emotional connection, shared values, and companionship.
This shift has fundamentally altered the balance of power within relationships. Women no longer rely on marriage for economic security, and as a result, they are more likely to advocate for their emotional needs, personal boundaries, and relational expectations.
They seek partners who can meet them as equals, not only financially but emotionally and intellectually. This transformation, while empowering, also places new pressure on men to redefine their identity within the home and the relationship. The role of authority has been replaced with collaboration, and hierarchy has been replaced with partnership.
Modern marriage now operates within a framework of negotiation rather than predetermined roles. Couples must actively discuss career priorities, household responsibilities, parenting philosophies, financial decisions, and emotional needs.
This requires communication skills that many individuals were never taught. The gap between what couples expect from one another and what they are actually prepared to offer often becomes a major source of tension.
When these evolving expectations are not addressed intentionally, frustration and resentment can quietly build. Partners may feel misunderstood, undervalued, or emotionally disconnected. Men may feel criticized or inadequate, while women may feel unsupported or emotionally neglected. Without open dialogue and mutual empathy, these unspoken pressures can slowly erode intimacy and trust.
Despite these challenges, this new relational landscape also presents an opportunity. Couples who are willing to grow, adapt, and learn together can build marriages that are more emotionally fulfilling, equitable, and resilient than those of previous generations. The key lies in recognizing that healthy partnerships are not defined by rigid roles, but by shared responsibility, emotional awareness, and the willingness to evolve together.

An excerpt from my upcoming book.

Existential Isolation: Being Alone Even with Others

One of the central ideas in existential therapy is existential isolation. This is not the same as loneliness. A person can be surrounded by family, friends, or a partner and still feel profoundly alone. Existential isolation refers to the unchangeable reality that no one can fully experience the world exactly as we do. Our thoughts, feelings, fears, and inner lives are ultimately our own.
This realization can be unsettling.

Many people spend their lives trying to escape this aloneness by merging with others, seeking constant approval, or losing themselves in relationships. While connection is essential, existential therapy suggests that when we rely on others to erase our aloneness, relationships can become strained, anxious, or dependent.

Therapy offers a space where clients can gently face this truth: I am separate, and that is both frightening and freeing. Learning to tolerate existential isolation often leads to deeper, more authentic connections—because relationships are no longer used to avoid aloneness, but to share life from a grounded sense of self.
