Healing isn't about fixing what's "broken" – it's about recognizing the incredible strength in your story.

For too long, society has told trauma survivors that they're somehow damaged or incomplete. But what if we saw our experiences differently? What if each challenging moment is actually a piece of a beautiful, complex mosaic?

In my latest blog post, "The Mosaic of Healing: Why Your 'Broken' Pieces Are Actually Beautiful", I'm sharing a different perspective on trauma, healing, and resilience.

This isn't just another therapy article. This is an invitation to see yourself with compassion, to understand that your survival strategies are acts of profound intelligence, and that your healing journey is uniquely yours.

Whether you're a trauma survivor, a mental health professional, or someone who believes in the power of healing, this post is for you.

Healing is not about becoming someone new.
It's about honoring who you've always been.


Who else is ready to see their life as a masterpiece in progress?

You Are Not Broken. You Are a Masterpiece in Progress. Trauma can make you feel fragmented, like a collection of disconnected pieces. But what if those pieces are actually the beautiful components of a powerful, resilient mosaic? At Mosaic Bloom Counseling, we don't just help you survive – we cele...

Behind the scenes: I had the honor of attending the African American Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner, and it was made even more special having my husband Lex by my side. Not only is he my partner in life, but he's also the brilliant mind behind Mosaic Bloom's website and my go-to tech support whenever I'm convinced my computer is conspiring against me.

It was inspiring to be in a room full of Black business owners and entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful in their communities. These gatherings remind me why I'm so committed to creating spaces where Black folks—and all marginalized communities—can access quality mental health care that truly sees and affirms them.

Grateful for nights like this that celebrate our collective success and the village it takes to build something sustainable. And extra grateful for a partner who believes in this work as much as I do.

Your trauma responses aren't broken - they're brilliant.

Your nervous system learned exactly how to keep you safe in impossible situations:

✔ Hyper-vigilance scanning for danger
✔ Anxiety preparing you to fight or flee
✔ Shut down protecting you from overwhelm
✔ Flashbacks trying to help you process what happened

These responses saved you. And they make complete sense.

The beautiful thing about our nervous systems? They can learn safety too.

At Mosaic Bloom Counseling, we don't try to "fix" your trauma responses. We help you understand them, appreciate them, and gently expand your window of safety so healing can unfold naturally.

Your body knows how to heal. We just help create the conditions for it to happen.

During virtual EMDR, we use gentle tools like guided eye movements, tapping or visual cues to help your brain process stuck memories. You stay in control and can take breaks whenever you need.

Whether at home or anywhere you feel comfortable, EMDR can help your mind and body release trauma and move toward calm.

💛 Healing can happen wherever you are.

You know that feeling when part of you wants to try something new, but another part says "absolutely not"?

That's your parts talking - and they're all trying to help.

Some common parts include:

✔ Your protector keeping you safe from harm
✔ Your inner child holding your joy and wonder
✔ Your critic trying to keep you from messing up

These parts aren't broken. They're brilliant survival strategies that got you here.

In IFS therapy, we get curious about each part instead of fighting them. When they feel heard and understood, your calm, wise Self can step forward to lead.

Gender-related trauma doesn't always make headlines, but it profoundly shapes lives. It's the accumulation of being dismissed, invalidated, or told that who you are is somehow wrong.

Unlike single traumatic events, gender-related trauma is often chronic and ongoing—targeting your core identity and making you feel unsafe simply existing as yourself.

But here's what I want you to know: every experience you've had, even the painful ones, can become part of your beautiful mosaic. The parts of yourself you may have hidden for safety? They're not broken pieces—they're colorful fragments waiting to be woven back into the whole of who you are.

Through approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, healing is possible. You deserve to feel safe in your own skin. You deserve relationships that honor who you are. Your experiences are valid, your feelings make sense, and your healing journey matters.

There's a kind of trauma that doesn't make headlines or fit neatly into diagnostic categories, yet it shapes countless lives in profound ways. Gender-related trauma is woven into the everyday experiences of those who face discrimination, invalidation, or harm because of their gender identity or expr...
