February often reminds us to celebrate love—but mental health is one of the most important forms of love we can practice.
Healthy relationships begin with:
• Emotional awareness
• Clear boundaries
• Compassion for self and others
• The ability to communicate needs
When anxiety, depression, or unresolved stress go unaddressed, they can quietly strain even the strongest connections.
This Valentine’s season, consider asking yourself:
💗 How do I show love to myself?
💗 Do I feel emotionally safe in my relationships?
💗 Am I caring for my mental health as intentionally as I care for others?
Mental wellness is not selfish, it’s foundational.
If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, support is available. Our practice provides a safe, judgment-free space to explore these concerns and help you reconnect with yourself and others.

✨ Welcome to 2026 — A Year of Healing, Growth, and Grace ✨

A new year doesn’t require a new you — it invites a gentler, more intentional you.

As we step into 2026, let this be the year you:
💚 Choose progress over perfection
💚 Protect your peace without apology
💚 Prioritize your mental health as a necessity, not a luxury
💚 Give yourself permission to rest, reset, and realign

Healing is not linear. Growth doesn’t have a deadline. And your worth is not tied to how productive you are.

In 2026, may you check in with yourself as often as you check in with others. May you speak to yourself with the same compassion you offer those you care for. And may this year be filled with clarity, courage, and community support.

🧠 Your mental health matters — today, this year, always.

Happy New Year 2026. 🌱✨

I thought about you today. Many of you suffer with seasonal affective disorder or SAD. This condition generally happens during the fall and winter seasons especially when daylight saving time ends. Then, the commercialization of the holidays tends to add pressure. Well, there is help available for you. Please call 256-289-7839 to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call with me so that we can discuss your mental health concerns and how I can be of service to you.
