Black history is deeply woven into the fabric of this country. It is marked by resilience, creativity, resistance, and profound contributions, often in the face of violence, oppression, and erasure. That history lives not only in books, but in bodies, families, communities, and nervous systems.

It’s important to name that historical and ongoing racism is a mental health issue. Chronic stress, generational trauma, grief, and hypervigilance are understandable responses to systems that have caused harm for centuries.

Alongside that truth is another: Black joy, connection, culture, and community have always been powerful sources of healing. Care, creativity, spirituality, and collective strength continue to sustain and restore.

This month, and always, I hold space for both the pain and the brilliance. Honoring Black history means listening deeply, validating lived experiences, advocating for equity, and committing to care that is rooted in dignity and justice.

Mental health is not just individual. It is communal.

Today, my daughter and I attended a community fundraiser supporting organizations that advocate for immigrant justice. What stood out most wasn’t just the cause, but the feeling in the room. People gathering. Smiles exchanged. Artists creating. Neighbors showing up for the common good.

Conversations on the way there turned into deeper reflections about history, injustice, and compassion. Moments like that remind me that our children are paying attention. They are learning not only from what we say, but from how we show up in the world.

Community and social justice matter for our mental health. When people feel seen, supported, and protected, nervous systems soften and hope has space to grow. Collective care is a powerful antidote to fear and isolation.

Hope doesn’t come from ignoring harm. It comes from connection, action, and remembering our shared humanity. This is why advocacy, community care, and justice are inseparable from healing.

Here are a few grounding takeaways:
🌎 If the world feels heavy, seek moments of safe connection
🧘🏾‍♀️ Notice where your body softens when you feel supported
📱 Limit doom-scrolling and choose intentional engagement
💕Remember that showing up, even in small ways, is meaningful

You are not meant to carry this alone. Healing happens in relationship.

As a therapist, I’m trained to sit with pain, to listen, to hold space, and to witness what so many are carrying.

As a human, a mom, a friend, and a social worker, I believe deeply in the dignity and worth of every person. I refuse to look away. I refuse to become numb to the suffering of others.

I will continue to show up for my clients, my community, and the work of dismantling systems that harm, because healing and justice are not separate. They are deeply, profoundly intertwined.

I’m sharing this as a therapist and as a human.
What’s happening in our country impacts our mental health in real ways. Oppression, violence, and injustice live in our bodies and naming that matters. I will continue to use my voice for dignity, care, and collective healing ❤️

Today we remember the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945.

We honor the six million Jews and the millions of Roma, Sinti, Slavs, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, political dissidents, and others who were systematically dehumanized and murdered in the Holocaust.

This was not only a genocide. It was the result of years of unchecked hate, propaganda, silence, and the gradual erosion of people’s humanity.

There are echoes of this past in our current social and political climate. When certain lives are treated as disposable, when fear is weaponized, when systems normalize cruelty or indifference, it takes a toll on us all.

As a mental health professional, I believe remembering is an act of care. Bearing witness is part of healing. Naming injustice protects our nervous systems from being gaslit into numbness.

May we remember.
May we notice.
May we choose empathy, dignity, and courage again and again.

✨ A gentle reminder about gratitude: Gratitude doesn’t have to be loud, perfect, or attached to a holiday. Sometimes it’s simply pausing long enough to notice what is sustaining you right now: your breath, your growth, your people, your resilience, your healing.

The beautiful thing about gratitude is that it expands whatever it touches. The more we pay attention to the good, the more our minds learn to look for it. Even the smallest acknowledgment such as “I made it through today” can create a meaningful shift.

And if this season feels heavy, complicated, or different than years past, you’re not alone. You are allowed to honor your feelings and still make space for moments of grounding and gratitude in whatever way feels right for you.

Give yourself a moment of compassion today. You’re doing the best you can. 🧡

Today, we pause to honor the transgender lives lost to anti-transgender violence. This day is also about recognizing the weight of grief, fear, and exhaustion that many in the trans community continue to carry.

As a mental health professional, I want to affirm this:
Your identity is valid. Your life matters. Your safety, your joy, and your mental well-being matter.

For those who are grieving, hurting, or feeling unseen today, please know:
🩵You are not alone.
🩷Your emotions are real and worthy of care.
🤍There is space here for you, your story, your identity, and your healing.

For allies and loved ones, today is a meaningful reminder of the role we all play in fostering safety, compassion, and affirmation for transgender individuals every day.

May we continue to build a community rooted in dignity, respect, and care for every person.

🇺🇸 Veterans Day Reflections: We Are Not Invisible 🇺🇸

Today holds special meaning for me both personally and professionally. As a therapist, business owner, and woman veteran, I carry with me the lessons that service instilled: resilience, integrity, teamwork, and the deep value of community.

Women have always served with courage, leadership, and heart even when our stories haven’t always been visible. So today, I want to say to my sisters-in-arms: we are not invisible. Your service matters. Your strength, your story, and your continued impact matter.

To all who have served, and to the families who stand beside them, thank you. You continue to inspire the work I do and the space I strive to create for healing and connection ❤️🤍💙

👻 This Halloween, remember… not every mask we wear is part of a costume. Sometimes we hide behind smiles, busyness, or humor to cover pain or exhaustion.
Healing begins when we feel safe enough to take the mask off, be seen, be heard, and be accepted as we are 🧡

You don’t have to face the shadows alone.

✨ Behind the scenes at my desk this morning ✨

As someone who experiences seasonal affective disorder (SAD), my desk setup becomes part of my self-care routine this time of year. Here’s what’s keeping me grounded ⬇️

💡 Light box for mood + energy
☕ Morning coffee (aka comfort in a cup)
💧 Water + meds reminder
📱 My phone playing a motivational playlist 🎶

If you’re not familiar, Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that often shows up during fall and winter when daylight decreases bringing lower energy, sadness, increased sleep, difficulty concentrating, appetite changes, and more.

Here are a few things that can help:

🌞 Get sunlight or use a light therapy lamp
🚶🏾‍♀️Move your body. Short walks count!
💬 Stay connected with others
✅ Create routines to stay grounded 
🎧 Play music that lifts your spirit

This season, I’m leaning into small habits that make the darker months feel a little lighter 🍂

What do you do to care for your mental health during the fall and winter? 💭
