May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and that includes supporting the mental health of the helpers. 💚

Clinical supervision is more than a checkbox on the path to licensure, it's a space for growth, accountability, reflection, and healing.

For emerging counselors, it can be a lifeline:
A space to process client work, explore personal reactions, build competence, and be seen.

Supervision helps ensure we’re not just providing care, but doing so ethically, with compassion and clarity. It’s advocacy in action. 🩷💜

Mental health advocacy isn’t just about awareness it’s about access, equity, and action.

We need more providers, more funding, and fewer barriers. I’m proud to stand at the intersection of clinical work and community change.

Let's continue our discussion on stress. Ever feel like your body is carrying more than your mind can name? That’s allostatic load, the wear and tear on your body from chronic stress.

Over time, it can lead to:
• High blood pressure
• Weakened immunity
• Sleep disruption
• Anxiety and depression
• Increased risk of chronic illness

‼️Mental health isn't just in your head, it lives in your body.‼️

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s normalize rest, boundaries, and nervous system care as survival tools, not luxuries. 🩷💜

Let’s talk about stress—because not all stress is the same. During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to name what we’re feeling and explore ways to manage it.

Common Symptoms:
• Irritability or mood swings
• Trouble sleeping or fatigue
• Muscle tension or headaches
• Difficulty concentrating
• Changes in appetite

Ways to Manage:
• Deep breathing or grounding exercises
• Set boundaries and protect your time
• Engage in physical movement (walk, stretch, dance)
• Seek support—community, therapy, or supervision
• Prioritize rest—your body is not a machine

You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that healing doesn’t always begin in a therapist’s office sometimes, it starts in the quiet moments when you decide to reparent yourself.

💚 To give yourself the patience you weren’t always shown.

💚 To speak kindly to the inner child who still feels unseen.

💚 To rest without guilt.

💚 To set boundaries without apology.

Reparenting is an act of radical self-love. You are worthy of the care you needed then, and still deserve now. 🩷💜

💚 Movement Is Medicine 💚

A walk. A stretch. A dance in the kitchen.
Movement doesn’t have to be intense to be healing.

Today, move your body as a form of gratitude—not punishment. 🩷💚

Rest is not a luxury, it’s a biological need.
Whether you’re a helper, healer, or hustler, your body and mind deserve recovery.

Let this be your reminder: rest improves mood, boosts immunity, sharpens memory, and fuels your energy.

Make room for restoration. You’re worth it,

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month and a fresh Monday reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Healing is work, but so is burnout.
This week, let’s honor the rest, joy, and space we all need to keep showing up whole. 🩷💜

May is both Maternal Mental Health Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.This dual recognition reminds us: Motherhood is not one story.

For some, it’s joy. For others, it’s grief. And for many, it’s both, at once.

Whether you’re navigating postpartum depression, celebrating new life, grieving a loss, longing to become a parent, or simply trying to make it through the day, your mental health matters. 💐

Let this month be your reminder:
🩷 You deserve support.
💜 You deserve rest.
🩷 You deserve to be held, too.
