Behind every smile, success, or busy schedule, someone may be fighting battles we can’t see.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re reminded to look beyond the surface — to check in, to listen, and to encourage seeking help. Even the smallest act of compassion can open the door to hope. 💛

📞 If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.

When your mood is low, even basic things can feel hard. But it’s usually the basics that help us the most.
You don’t have to do all the things. Just come back to the essentials. One small shift at a time. ✨🌿

Education has always been at the heart of what I do.

From teaching inmates how to manage chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, to helping older adults prevent falls and care for their health at home, to training inpatient psychiatric staff on policies, systems, and equipment — education has been a constant in my journey.

Now, as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, that commitment hasn’t changed. I take the time to walk patients through their treatment options, explain potential side effects, and answer questions so they can make informed decisions about their mental health care.

When people are informed, they feel empowered — and that empowerment leads to better follow-through, better outcomes, and positive change in other areas of life. In my practice, no one is rushed. It’s your health, your pace, your choice.

If you’ve been thinking about getting support, let’s take the next step together.

Not every thought deserves a front-row seat in your mind. 💭

Ever notice how once you start thinking about something—like buying a red car—you suddenly see red cars everywhere? That’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work. It acts like a filter, helping you notice what’s already on your mind.

Your thoughts shape what you see, focus on, and reinforce. We have thousands of thoughts each day… but not all of them are true. You don’t have to believe every thought that comes into your mind.

When one shows up, pause and ask:
🔹 Where did this come from?
🔹 Is there any real evidence for this?
🔹 Does this thought bring peace—or shame?

You get to challenge it. You get to redirect it. Because what you focus on… grows. 🌱

What thoughts are you giving a front-row seat today?

Last weekend, I had the honor of serving as a panelist at Mount Hope Baptist Church to talk about mental health and wellness in the faith community. 🙏🏾

We had an honest and open conversation about rest, pouring into ourselves, breaking generational beliefs around mental health, and taking off the mask of being okay—especially for women who are always expected to be strong.

I’m always grateful to be part of spaces that remind us: healing is possible, and you don’t have to carry it all alone. 💜

At New Horizon Psychiatry, we believe mental health care should honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.

If your church or ministry is looking to bring more mental health education and support to your community, I’d love to be a resource. Let’s work together to bridge the gap between faith and mental wellness.

Men’s Mental Health Matters. 💙
You don’t have to hold it all in.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.

Whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma—men deserve safe spaces to heal, too.

✔️ You can be strong and ask for help
✔️ You can believe in God and go to therapy
✔️ You can show up for others and still need support

Struggling doesn’t make you weak.
Ignoring it doesn’t make it disappear.
Real strength is found in honesty, vulnerability, and healing.

Let’s keep talking about it—not just in June, but all year long.

Wellness isn’t just about what you do—it’s also about what you’re healing from. And sometimes, the healing you’re doing… didn’t start with you.

You didn’t choose the trauma, but you’re choosing the healing. And that choice—it’s sacred.

You’re the one breaking the cycle.
The one creating room for softness where there was once survival. The one saying, “It stops with me.”

Healing isn’t easy—but neither is carrying what wasn’t yours to begin with.
You are brave. You are called. You are the cycle breaker.

Tag someone doing the work too. 💛

Kicking off Day 1 at Psych Congress Elevate! ✨

Looking forward to a week of learning, inspiration, and connection. Topics like treatment-resistant depression and building resilience in practice are on the schedule, and I’m intentional about learning strategies I can bring back to support the clients I serve. 💚
