Different by Design

The blog section of this site offers reflections, resources, and insights on topics like emotional resilience, communication patterns, neurodivergence, trauma recovery, and mindful parenting. Each post is written with the same intention as my counseling work: to support clarity, compassion, and growth. 

These blogs are developed in collaboration with ChatGPT-5 as part of my writing process. I view AI as a modern tool in a long tradition from the invention of movable type to the rise of the internet that helps people share ideas, refine their words, and take part in public conversations. For many, including those who may feel uneasy about writing, tools like this can build confidence and make it easier to express their perspective.

Like any powerful tool, AI can be used for good or for harm. My goal is to use it mindfully: to clarify ideas, maintain authenticity, and make my work more accessible, while ensuring that the core experiences and insights are my own.
