El agotamiento emocional en cuidadores es real, especialmente en padres y madres de niños con necesidades especiales.

La carga emocional, las citas médicas, la defensa constante… todo puede causar estrés crónico, ansiedad y una profunda sensación de soledad. Estudios muestran que hasta el 50% de padres de niños con discapacidades presentan síntomas de depresión clínica.

Buscar apoyo terapéutico puede ser un acto de amor propio. Es un espacio para desahogarse, sanar y recargar energías.

Este viernes, estaré como ponente invitada en Raíces de Amor: Sibshops, un espacio diseñado también para acompañar a los hermanos y hermanas de niños con necesidades especiales.

Próxima reunión: viernes 9 de mayo a las 6:00 pm
1320 N Pennsylvania Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73107

Acompáñanos para hablar sobre salud mental, resiliencia y el poder de conectar.

Caregiver burnout is real, especially for parents of children with special needs.

The emotional labor, constant appointments, and advocacy can lead to chronic stress and isolation. Studies show that up to 50% of parents of children with disabilities experience symptoms of clinical depression.

Seeking therapy can be a powerful way to process, recharge, and find emotional balance again.

This Friday, May 9th at 6:00 PM, I’ll be joining Raíces de Amor: Sibshops as a guest speaker to talk about mental health and caregiver support. This space also celebrates and supports siblings in a fun, affirming way.

Location: 1320 N Pennsylvania Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73107

You are not alone and your wellbeing matters, too.

As a therapist, one of the most transformative tools I use in my work with families is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that helps young children (typically ages 2–7) with behavioral challenges by strengthening the parent-child relationship through live coaching and skill-building.

It’s powerful to witness parents regain confidence, children feel more secure and understood, and families experience more peace at home.

A child will rarely come home and say, “Mom/dad, I’m struggling with anxiety or big feelings.” Instead, they’ll say, “Can you play with me?”

PCIT is not about perfection—it’s about connection.

If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, or wondering how to better manage big emotions and behaviors, PCIT can offer real hope and results.

On April 29th, I had the honor of attending the 2025 Oklahoma City Police Department’s Chief’s Prayer Breakfast. A powerful event bringing together faith leaders, community partners, and first responders united in service and hope.

As a mental health professional, I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to support those who protect us daily. Our first responders are heroes, and they carry the weight of unimaginable stress and trauma.

Nearly 1 in 3 first responders develop behavioral health conditions, including PTSD and depression, a powerful reminder that they, too, deserve compassionate care and mental health support.

I’m proud to stand alongside those working to ensure the wellbeing of the brave individuals who keep our communities safe.

That creeping feeling of anxiety on a Sunday night doesn’t have to ruin your weekend or the week ahead. 🩷🌸

Spring is Here!

Soak Up the Sun for Better Health!☀️

The days are getting longer, the flowers are blooming, and spring is finally here! With the sun shining brighter, it’s the perfect time to step outside and enjoy nature.

Did you know that spending time in the sun can boost your mood and improve your health? Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D, which supports your immune system, strengthens bones, and can even reduce symptoms of depression. According to Harvard Medical School, low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an increased risk of depression and other mental health concerns (Harvard Health Publishing).

So, whether it’s a walk in the park, gardening, or just sitting on your porch, take some time to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Your mind and body will thank you!

How do you like to spend time outdoors in the spring? Share in the comments! 🌿☀️

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

¡La primavera ha llegado! Disfruta del sol para mejorar tu salud

Los días son más largos, las flores están floreciendo y ¡por fin es primavera! Con el sol brillando más fuerte, es el momento perfecto para salir y disfrutar de la naturaleza.

¿Sabías que pasar tiempo al sol puede mejorar tu estado de ánimo y tu salud? La luz solar ayuda a tu cuerpo a producir vitamina D, que fortalece el sistema inmunológico, mejora la salud ósea y puede incluso reducir los síntomas de la depresión. Según Harvard Medical School, los niveles bajos de vitamina D se han asociado con un mayor riesgo de depresión y otros problemas de salud mental (Harvard Health Publishing).

Así que, ya sea dando un paseo por el parque, cuidando tu jardín o simplemente descansando en el porche, aprovecha el aire fresco y la luz del sol. ¡Tu cuerpo y tu mente te lo agradecerán!

¿Cuál es tu actividad favorita al aire libre en primavera? ¡Compártela en los comentarios! 🌿☀️
